Special to The Evening Journal
Dover. May 2.-When she was taken
to the court room to battle for her life
this morning was the first time Mrs.
Powell. the self-confessed slayer Of Es-
telle Albin, has been outside the jail
walls since February IA and the effect
was apparent. She stood OH the jail
steps and threw her head back like a
horse turned into pasture after long
winter of stable diet.
For a moment she stood in the bright
sunshine and breathed the air with her
head thrown back. The sheriff and his
assistants stood silently by, while their
prisoner enjoyed the brief respite from
conhnement When she had taken a
quick look around at the new green
grass and the budding foliage, the ac-
cused woman walked beside the sheriff
10 the court house. She does not show
any III effect from her time behind the
bars. In her step there was no tagging
and the robust health of life in the
country was apparent. One would not
suspect that she was fifty-three years
old.
Frank Davis entered the court house
soon after his client, and was in consul
tation with her when Attorney-General
Herbert H. Ward and his deputy, Rob-
ert H. Richards, arrived from Whining
ton. Albert Powell. the accused wom-
ans husband, drove up from his farm
at Bowers Beach shortly after
o'clock, with his brother, Frank, and
after stabling his horse, forNee- the
centre of a group near the court house.
Moving from group to group one
could not hear any violent denunciation
of the prisoner. Many there were who
did not hesitate to express themselves
as to the degree of punishment Mrs
Powell should receive. Frank II. Davis
and Henry Ridgely, attorneys for Mrs
Powell, are confident Of securing the ac-
quittal of their client.
1T is not often that 1 feel so sure OF
an acquittal," said Mr.. Ridgely this
morning. "and have never experienced
this feeling before without being sue
cessful.
I'VE are ready to proceed with the
trial. How long it will last I viii not
venture to guess. We viii not tolerate
any railroading methods should the
prosecution attempt them, and the trial
will proceed in a regular manner"
Court opened at 10 o'clock with JUS

the bench. Before the Powell case was

Defendant counsel in the Powell case
deny that they propose TO make any mo-

Powel on the ground that undue infu-

at first desired to return an indictment
for simple manslaughter.
The nature of the testimony Of James
Holleger the only witness other than an
officer who was heard by the grand jury
and who was simply before it about five
minutes, has been disclosed.
Holleger will be one Of the states FIRST

Since her confession, Mrs. Powell has

farm, including several dozen fresh eggs,
for which the woman now on trial for her

She was neatly dressed, probably wear

She looks somewhat older from ller close

WILL IMPROVE
THE CHRISTIANA
Contractor John L. Grimm to
Begin Work Shortly With
Suction Dredge
WATER WAY TO Be CLEANED OUT
Only one-half Of the Appropriation
of $4,000 Can Be Used Until City
Agrees to Take Care of Sewage Of
Wilmington.

The work of dredging the Christiana
river IS expected to begin shortly. The
contract for the undertaking was award.
ed to John l.. Grim of Philadelphia last
fan and the work was to have begun. at
that time but the contractor decided to
use a suction dredge instead OF a grapple
machine. The severity of the past winter
prevented any work from being done even
had the contractor desired to do so.
A dredge belonging to contractor Grim
Is now at the wharves Of the Pusey and
Jones Company. New machinery IS being
Installed in the boat and II is expected
that within week or two the dredge Will
be fully equipped to begin operations.
on June 13, 1902. Congress appropriated
$50 300 TO be used On dredging the Christi
ana. There was a proviso to the act how
ever. that has caused considerable delay
in beginning the work. This provision
stated that unless the City OF Wilmington
agreed TO prevent the sewage from city
shoaling the river, only one half OF the
appropriation could be expended, the
other half remaining intact until such
time as the provisions Of the act could be
compiled with. Nothing has been done in
the matter and unless Che city Should take
some decisive action, Contractor Grim
will only be allowed to do work that will
cover the sum Of $4,000.
The Board Of Trade has taken up the
matter It is understood, and win endeavoE
to bring about an understanding that will
be satisfactory to the secretary Of war.
The sum Of $4,000 expended on improv-
ing the existing conditions in the Christi
ana would be Of vast Importance to the
merchants Of wilmington. During the pasi
year or two the river has shoaled con.
