COOK REBUKES
HIS CRITICS
Replies to Comments Made
on Delay in Rendering De-
ciSiOn on BOtkin Motion
EXPLAINS HIS REASONS
DenOunces Men Who Are Too
COwardly to Affix Names
to Letters Attacking Him

Judge Cook yesterday rebuked the
District Attorney and various anonym-
Gus writers who have been criticizing
him for delaying his decision on the
motion for a new trial in the case of
Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, convicted for the
second time of the murder Of Mrs Eliz-
abeth Dunning by sending her a box
of poisoned candy to Dover, Del, in
August, 1898.
When the case was called on August
s a request for a continuance was made
by the defense on the ground that At
torney Frank MCGOWAN was absent
from the city. 1t was granted till yes
terday. As soon as the case was called
yesterday Attorney MCGOWAN asked
for a continuance, as Attorney George
A. knight was absent from the city
and desired to be present when the de-
cision was rendered. District Attorney
Byington objected. He said it was not
necessary for either of the counsel to
be present.
The Judge said he had noticed that
after the previous continuance some ad-
verse comments had been made by the
District Attorneys office, as recorded
in one of the daily papers. In addition
some overZealous citizens, who were too
cowardly to give their names, had been
self on the same subject. He was ready
to decide the case, but he saw no cause
for urgency. No authorities had been
submitted to him except those fur
nished by the defense. He had TO look
up numerous authorities himself and
had to read all the testimony carefully,
which occupied considerable time. 1t
seemed to him a question whether he
as Judge or some one else should de-
piHa XNh chn111d ha
to render the decision.
Il SHALL" continued the Judge, de
eide all cases when / am ready to do so,
notwithstanding the comments of men
who are too cowardly to sign their
names, or any one else. I am running
this court, and will do so as long as I
am on the bench"
Byington said he had supplied au-
thorities on two questions, and the
Judge replied: only on one question.
There was no brief, and had to find
great many authorities myself on all
the points involved"
II don't think" said Byington, that
peoples making comments should in
f1uence the court in giving judgment"
'They will not influence me-" replied
the Judge. II will decide the case when
/ am ready. 1 want the opinion to be
of record. l want it to be in such shape
as to form part of the transcript, so
that the Justices of the Supreme Court
can see my reasons. 1 have a rough
draft of my opinion ready. but it has
not yet been engrossed. For that rea-
son and for my own convenience 1 shall
continue the matter till Monday, Aug
ust 22.''
Judge Dunne's decision on the mo-
tion to dismiss the information charg-
ing Mrs. Botkin with the murder Of
Mrs Ida Henrietta Deane was also con-
tinued yesterday till the same date.

The British ship Routenburn, Cap
tain Dalrymple, which arrived here
yesterday from Newcastle, England.
has ended long and disastrous pas
sage. Storms beset the sailing vessels
path from the outset Of the voyage
and before the Routenburn's journey
was two weeks old two of her ap-
prentices had been swept from the
ships deck into ocean graves and four
members Of the crew. three seamen
and the third officer, were in the sick
bay nursing injuries received from
flying spars.
The Routenburn herself was sadly
battered by the sea. She was taken
into Queenstown, her deckhouses
wrecked, her sails blown to rags and
her rigging twisted into a snarl that
human effort could never untangle.
She was il distress with a vengeance.
She left Newcastle, England, De-
cember is, 1903. and December q en-
counterd a southWester. during which
J. Woodruff, an apprentice, Is years
old, was washed overheard ana
drowned. The vessel reached latitude
6O.04 north, longitude 1920 west, on
December 2S and there met a hurri-
cane, also from the southwest. The
Routenburn was thrown on her beam
ends. She was buried beneath roaring
torrents Of Wild-sWept water one mo-
ment and the next tossed skyward un-
til the wind whistled under her keei.
Seas boarded her and smashed in
deckhouses as if they had been built
of paper instead Of good, tough teak.
Lifeboats were converted into kind
ling wood and the fragments sweep
overheard. Sails were blown to rags,
steel rigging was torn adrift and every
now and then one of the tall masts
would shed a spar. r. Richardson,
another apprentice, a first voyager
and Of the same tender age as Wood
run, was picked from the waist Of the
ship by a wave and Whirled beyond
the reach Of the strong arms of his
shipmates. He was never seen again.
When the hurricane had blown it
self out the Routenburn lay upon the
water as nearly a wreck as a floating
ship can be. Three sailors and the
third mate were disabled.
Queenstown was reached January
is and there the vessel remained un-
Ill February 26, when, damage re-
paired and with a full crew, she re-
sumed her voyage.
She fought gales for eighteen days
of Cape Horn. but with that exception
the rest of the voyage was peaceful
and without event.

plea that il would be for the best in
'terest Of the business 10 permit the title

been demanding a return Of the hold

superior Court against his wife. de-
handing the reconveyance and an ac-
counting Of about so. 900 in profits she
