A YORK COUNTY CASE.

Maurice Weinstein VS.. The Boston &
Main Railroad. Rescript by Powers, j.
The evidence in this case is substan-
TALLY the same, with the exception of
one witness, as that upon which a
former verdict for the plaintiff was set
aside and q new trial granted. If the
testimony of this witness is to be be-
lieved it must have been known to the
plaintiff. Yet he was not called at the
former trial, although living but a
short distance from the plaintiff. and
no reason is assigned for the omission.
We are not impressed with the truth
fulness of his statements. The reason
assigned for his counting the bags of
the plaintiff is highly improbable. 1t
does not appear that there was any
thing to call his attention to the mat
ter from that date until the time of
trial. nearly, two years later. 1t was
something in which he had no interest,
he being actuated according to his own
statement, by mere idle curiosity to see
whether the plaintiff knew the number
of his own bags of junk. Notwith-
standing this he claims to be able to
recollect and state correctly the num-

From the Kaiser on New Years

Sends Greetings to President and
American People.

Emperor William received the new
year congratulations of the princes,

knights of the Black Eagle and others.
arsenal and greeted the officers of the
garrison.
Emperor William, in receiving the
New Year congratulations of the for
eign ambassador, said to Ambassador
Tower that in selecting the commits
sion to take the statue of Frederick the
Great to the United States he intended
to include in it descendants of German
officers who had fought under Wash
ington. His Majesty remarked that the
placing of the statue in the new war
college was a happy suggestion, es-
pecially as he understood that the
statues of other famous commanders
who belonged to all the world and to
all time would also be erected there.
1t having been mentioned to the En-
peror by member of the court that
Ambassador Tower probably would go
10 Washington at the time of the pre-
sentation of the statue to assist in re-
ceiving the German commission, His
Majesty said, today, that the ambas-
sador's presence upon that occasion
would be a compliment to Germany
and that he hoped Mr.. Tower would be
there.
Emperor William inquired as to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's health and sent his
congratulations to the President and
the people Of the United States.
Herr Uphues, the sculptor, has near
ly finished his statue of Frederick the
Great. The date when it will be agree
able to receive the statue is not known
here, but it is assumed that it will be
sometime in the late spring.

THE POISON PURCHASER
May Possibly Have Been Relative of
Miss Richardson.

Littleton, N. H., Jan. IAN admis-
sion that may have a very important
bearing upon the case of Miss Gather
inc V. Richardson, arrested at Revere,
Mass, on the charge of attempting to
murder her mother by poisoning her,
was made, tonight. by R. M. Richard
son. a second cousin of Catherine, who
resides here and a horse trainer by
occupation. Mr.. Richardson has stat
ed heretofore that he knew nothing
about the purchase of poison at Green's
drug store ana the signatures for the
same in Mr.. Green's book.
When questioned again about it, to-
night, he complacently remarked that
he didn't know but he had bought the
poison himself. He remembered that
on the day after. Sept. H. he went to
st. Johnsbury with string of horses
to the fair. On such occasions he al
ways bought supply of arsenic which
he administered to the animals during
the race for the purpose of bracing
them up. He often had obtained the
poison without signing for it ana as
he was in hurry that day, he knew he
did not sign for it. 1t was his candid
opinion, he said, that he bought the
poison.
Frank Richardson. an own cousin of
Catherine, carriage manufacturer of
Littleton also said, tonight, that it was
possible that he may have bought the
arsenic as he had often bought the
poison to drive ants from his refriger-
ator. He said it was easy and would
not be considered unusual for woman
to have made the purchase, as arsenic
was used by many families for that
purpose. If ]le made the purchase he
.had not signed for it and he was GER
tain that his wife had not bought any
The initials of the signature, V. c. w.
look as if written by a woman and
there is great anxiety here to have the
mystery regarding the writer of them
cleared up. An effort was made to as
certain a statement regarding this
matter from Mr.. Green, the proprietor
of the drug store. but he went on a
hunting trip, this morning. and had not
returned at late hour tonight.
There has been considerable talk to
the effect that there would be no
money forthcoming for Miss Richard
sons defence, but her cousin Frank
stated. tonight, that if guardian was
appointed for her, Jan. II, as petitioned
for, there was no question whatever
but that he would furnish whatever
money was needed for the purpose.

When the jury have been instructed

If he is wrong in his recollection, his
attention should be called to it and
the error corrected at the time.
The negligence of the plaintiff cam
not be considered as approximately
