REPEAT STORY
OF POISONING
Witnesses Testify at the
Preliminary Examination
of Mrs. COrdelia Botkin
DEMANDS NEWSUBPENAS
Attorney Clark Makes Sur
prising Statement That He
Requires Their Evidence

The preliminary examination Of Mrs.
CordeIia Botkin on the charge of muir
dering Mrs. Ida Henrietta Deane by
sending Mrs. Dunning, her sister, a box
Of poisoned candy 10 Dover, Del, in
August, 1898, was continued before Po-
lice Judge Conlan yesterday, but moth
ing sensational developed. The defend
ant was alert yesterday. She had on
the table before her a transcript Of
the testimony taken at her recent trial
before a jury in Judge Cooks court,
and she followed closely the testimony
Of the witnesses yesterday and several
times prompted her attorney.
When the case was called Attorney
Reese Clark surprised the District At
torney and the Judge by saying: II
want subpenas for the three witnesses
examined yesterday-Miss Lizzie l..
Kemp, Miss Josephine Bateman and
Harry c. Pennington. / will require
them for the defense
That's your own business" quietly
replied the Judge, who ordered the Dis
trict Attorney to call the next witness.
Three witnesses were examined yes
terday-Miss Leila Deane, daughter Of
Mrs. Deane: Miss Ethel ]. Millington
and DR.. L. H. Bishop. Miss Deane ate
one Of the candies and was sick, Miss
Millington had a similar experience
and DR.. Bishop was called in to attend
the members Of the Pennington house
hold when the poison began to take
effect. Their testimony was the same
as at the Dunning trial The case will
Attorney Clark. explaining his object
in subpenaing the witnesses, said he
had been placed at a disadvantage in
cross-examining them owing TO the
jumbled manner in which the tran
script Of the testimony at the Dunning
trial was made, and he had missed sew
eral important points favorable to the
defendant. He could not recall them
for further cross-eXamination, and he
had no other recourse but to subpoena
them. He declared he was acting in
good faith and meant to subpoena every
witness.
District Attorney Byington said the
Judge could recall witnesses for further
cross-examination and could then ex-
cuse them from attendance. If the
Delaware witnesses were compelled to
stay here till the conclusion Of the pre-
liminary hearing it would be expensive
to the people:
Mrs. Botkin viii appear in Judge
Cooks court this morning to be formal
ly sentenced to imprisonment for life
for the murder of Mrs. Dunning. Her
attorneys viii make a motion for new
trial, which may delay the pronouncing
Of the sentence.

DEWEY BOULEVARD is
EXPUNGED FROM MAP
Judiciary Committee Recommends Re-
enactment of Ordinance Regulat-
ing Right of Way of Vehicles


The Supervisors Judiciary Commit
tee yesterday granted the petition of
the executors of the Sutro estate that
Dewey boulevard be excluded from the
official map. The land for the boule-
ward was donated on condition that it
be improved, but the city failed to
carry out the agreement The land
Will now be assessed to the Sutro
estate.
The committee again heard the pc
tltion of Bush Bros. that the city con-
sent to dismissal of the suit whereby
they were ordered to remove a stair
case projecting eighteen inches on the
sidewalk in front of the premises at
Eddy and Franklin streets. The COM
mittee decided to hold an executive
session on April %, when action will
be taken on the petition.
The committee granted the petition
of Maude Treadwell McNutt as sue
cessor in interest to James P. Tread
we'll for city deed to certain outside
lands. Litigation over the land has
been in process for many years, but
the Supreme Court finally decided in
Mrs. McNutt's favor. Maxwell McNutt
informed the committee that all the
papers in the case had mysteriously
disappeared, although the Judgment
was on record.
The claim of Mrs. Henney for the
death of her daughter was denied for
want of jurisdiction
The ordinance regulating the right
of way of vehicles was ordered to be
re-enacted to comply with the charter.
No one appeared to protest against the
ordinance.

The following write up of Neveja
by correspondent of the Napauee Bea
yer, Ontario, Canada, contains bit Ut
information about the State that
makes one wonder what brand Ct
sheep dip the writer drank in his
journey through Nevada.
During the insane rush over the
plains toward the California gold fields
in 1S49 and 1850, it is said that 4OC0
gold seekers persisted of thirst trying
to cross the dreary country. First
their horses and oxen gave out, then
the human beings, finding no water in
the wide waste came to their death in
the same horrible way in these Ne
vada plains. Some indications show
themselves as you near the California
border and the Humboldt and Truckee
rivers reach into the parched lands,
and as you 60 on sheep in cOrrals or
in charge of shepherds and coolie dogs
are seen from the train. At Wads-
worth struggling Indians of solemn
aspect of the Piute tribe-once murder
GUS fellows-appear at the station
with various schemes on foot to draw
money from the passengers to buy
whiskey with.
At Reno where the real ranch coun-
try begins, a wealthy rancher has
built an asylum for insane shepherds
or ranchmen. The ranches are neces-
sarily of great extent, and the stations
of the individual shepherds are so far
apart that men rarely see any of their
fellow beings from one years end to
to the other. This dreadful issolation
is apt to tell after while on the minds
of these simple heroes: and it is
common thing for those who take tn Fir
supplies to their station to find them
insane form loneliness, and to discove-
them wandering about bleating like
sheep. With no one to talk to. hear
ing nothing but the calls of the amin
ais they attend. the poor creatures
in their dementia lose their own Ian
guage and become in their own mind
and expression like the beasts Of the
field they have been accustomed to
as their companions. Those who have
visited the asylum say it is a pitib!e
sight to see the inmates in this co1-
dition and to hear them initiating the
bleating of the sheep they had IN
charge oft more or less animal like,
according to their stage Of madness or
convelescence. ..- -..- .--
