unearthed new and important evidence
in the Krauss murder case. Pr0Secu-
tor Burns says that he will not ask for
legal assistance. Mrs. Krauss con-
tinues to eat and sleep we'll, and has
never yet shed tear. Her sister, Mrs.
Alice Bowman, has returned to Chica-

domestic in the employ Of the Krauss
family, who, in some way, had hereto
fore been overlooked by both state anu

Reasons for Probable Innocence.
Jay A. Hindman and Enos Cole, the
attorneys who have undertaken to de-
fend Mrs. Rae Krauss on the charge
of murder. believe that she is inno-

Old Friends Believe Her Guilty.
In the great crowd that attended
the preliminary examination were hum
dreds of persons who have known
Mrs Krauss all her life. and some Of
them were associated with her in
church and Sunday school work. But
not one gave her even so much as a
nod of recognition. Her father refused
to come to the Jail to see her, or to
console with her in the court room
when she was viewed as if she was a
wild animal, and commented on as
one of the most cold-blooded murder
ers' of modern days.

iueblo, Colo, Aug. 8. - The wreck
of the Worlds Fair Flyer on the Den
Yer and Rio Grande railroad near
Eden, seven miles north of Pueblo,
proves to have been one of the great
est railroad disasters in the history
of the country. Two crowded passen-
ger cars and baggage car were en-
quilted in the torrent that tore out a
trestle spanning Steeie's hollow, 9TH
erwise known as Dry creek, and so far
as known only three of the occupants
of these cars escaped death. Fort
unately, two sleeping cars and a diner,
completing the train, remained on the
track at the edge of the abyss, and
none of their occupants was killed and
injured.
Bodies All Taken to Pueblo.
How many perished probably will
never be dennitely ascertained, tor the
treacherous sands are drifting over the
bodies. Searching for the dead was be-
gun about midnight on an extensive
scale, and still is in progress. All
corpses found were brought to Pueblo
and placed in four morgues here. At
this writing seventy-six bodies have
been recovered, and of these forty-nine
have been identified. During the day
bodies were recovered all the way
along Fountain river from the scene
of the wreck to this city.
Corpses Drifted Eight Miles.
Two bodies were taken from the
stream at First street. Pueblo. more
than eight miles from the point where
the disaster occurred, and 1T is prob
able that some may be recovered even
further down stream. None of the
bodies is badly mutilated, and all are
in such condition as to be recogniza-
bic. Many identifications have been
made by articles found on the bodies,
no persons who viewed them recogniz-
ing the features.

fact that DR.. Parker Drayer. of Fort
Wayne, who is conducting the analysis
In the Crystal Krauss case, has found
strychnine in the stomach, confirms
the belief of the coronerand physicians
that poison had been fed to the girl
for some time, thus explaining the
stomach trouble from which the girl
suffered. The physicians also believe
that arsenic was the poison admins
tered previous to the dose that
caused death.
Was the Ice Cream Doped?
The belief is confirmed by number
of significant incidents coming to light
since the death of the girl On the
afternoon of July 21, when Crystal
gave dinner to a number of young
people, ice cream was served by Mrs.
krauss, step-mother of the hostess.
and it is said that Crystal spoke of the
peculiar taste Of the cream to the other
girls and said she could not eat it. The
guests all said the cream was excep-
tionally good and they ate their por-
tions with relish. But is didn't seem
to hurt the other girls, which needs
explanation.
Mrs. krauss Gets More Cream.
Mrs. Krauss is said to have been
standing just behind Crystal at the
time, and she remarked: LET me
taste it, Crystal; if it isn't good will
throw it out" Mrs. Krauss took a
small taste and took the cream to the
kitchen, returning with another dish
which Crystal ate. At another
time several girls were lunch
ing with Crystal and she found
fault with the peas served to her and
tasted those served to her friends to
find out where the trouble lay. Mrs.
Krauss interfered in this. as she did
with the ice cream, throwing them
out.
Change of Venue To he Asked.
j. A. Hindman, counsel for Mrs.
Krauss, says that it is settled fact
that change of venue will be asked
before the defendant is called for trial,
and that there will be demand for
another trial judge. He further said
that the case will not be tried in Oc-
tober. 1t will be necessary for the
grand jury, which does not convene
until October, to return an Indictment.
