DOVER POISONING CASE AGAIN REVIVED.
Mrs. COrdeIla BOlkin Will Stand a Second
Trial in California February 5th.

Mrs. COrdeIla Botkin Will Stand a Second
Trial In California February 5th.
Judge Cook has set February 18th
next for the second trial of Mrs. Cor
della Botkin, charged with the muir
der of Mrs. John p. Dunning
Dover, Del, by means of box of
poisoned candy. Mrs. Botkin was
convicted on December Both, 1898, of
murder, the penalty being imprison-
ment for life. The Supreme Court
granted a new trial. 1t is said that the
candy and boxes produced in Judge
Cooks Court Saturday as exhibits in
the Botkin trial five years ago, and
which had since lain in the cellar of
Chief of Police Lees residence are
not the genuine exhibits. The
poisoned candy is locked in a vault in
the City Hall and was turned over to
the county clerk Monday, Oscar
Tolle, who was court clerk during the
trial of Mrs. Botkin, is the custodian
of this evidence. More than one at
tempt has been made to remove it
from his possession, not the least
, notable of which was that by County
Clerk MahoneY. He demanded that
Tolle surrender the exhibits to him,
but Tolle refused to give them up to
any one unless all order from Judge
Cook was served upon him command
ing him to do 30. Judge Cook al
ways refused to issue such an order.
Despite all this, however, Attorney
Heggerty, one of Botkin's lawyers,
states that he is certain that the
''polson book" used in the case had
been left in the Lees basement and
that as the most important exhibit of
the prosecution it would be worthless.
He claimed last week to believe that
the empty candy box found by Lehigh
was probably the one that formerly
contained the poisoned candy, and
said that all of the documents and
boxes found by Lehigh would be used
in Mrs. Botkin's defence.
