CONFESSES ON DEATHBED.
Alleged Slayer of John w. Gates Brother
Tells of Crime of Which He
Was Acquitted.

Carbonate, ILL.,, Aug. 23.-Alexander
Jester, who was tried in New London,
Mo-, in July, 1900, for the murder OF
Gilbert Gates, the brother Of John w.
Gates, died at his home in Indian ter
ritory and prior to his death is said to
have confessed to the murder.
Gilbert Gates was killed in Hulanes
Lane, Mo-, in January, 1871. AT the
time, he was travelling in company with
Alexander Jester. After learning that
his son was killed, Azel A. Gates started
in search of Jester and overlook him just
as he was entering his Kansas home.
He found Gilbert Gates entire outfit
there. Jester was arrested, taken to
Mexico Jail and while there escaped.
Twenty-eight years later, John w.
Gates learned through TESTERS sisters.
of his location, and detectives captured
him. At the time Jester was u years
old
He was tried at New London, Mo-,
and was acquitted ON the ground that
the body of Gilbert Gates was never
found.
Jester had been married three times
and was engaged to the fourth woman
when arrested. He claimed to be a
preacher and, it is claimed, admitted on
his death bed that he had committed the
crime. He was born in North Carolina
and was II years old. His record, as
told by his sister, was most checkered.
One other murder was charged to him.
and innumerable petty crimes. =

PULPIT

from our following after this mirage
that has led so many men and nations
far out into the desert to perish, sim
ply Of their own lust for big things. 1t
Is still true that the victories Of peace
are greater than the victories Of war.
We must attune our ears afresh to
hear the voice Of truth and tenderness,
which is only too faint, because Of the
Niagara roar in which we live
Ii the bitter competitions and dead
~ strifes by which society is beset we
have come to emphasize power, might
and magnitude, forgetting that the
race is not always to the swift nor the
battle to the strong. Have men come
to believe that God is always on the
side of the largest navies and strong
est armies? Do we, like Napoleon,
see as important only cavalry, infan-
try and artillery?
The true disciple of Christ will learn
from his Master, who found in a cup
Of cold water ministry, tender and
sweet to human thirst Sad is that
heart to which want and suffering
make no appeal, and sadder is that life
that gives out none Of itself in tender
ness for the benefit Of its kind.
The church to fulfill her mission to
men must not allow herself to be led
into the riotous assembly that thun-
ders in the theater at Ephesus, but
nnNst rather go to the upper room in
Jerusalem, where she may for a time
be alone with her Lord to gain power
for her ministry of tenderness.

PRISON FOR LIFE.
Mrs. Cordelia Botkin of San Fran
cisco Is Sentenced for the
Second Time.
SENT POISONED CANDY.
Jealous Woman Murdered Wife of the
Man She Loved-End of Sec
oad Trial.
JUDGE SAYS SHE OUGHT 80 DIE.

San Francisco, CAL, Aug. 23.-Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin was sentenced for the
second time by Superior Judge Carroll
Cook to life Imprisonment in the state
prison at San Quentin for the murder of
Mrs. John p. Dunning in Dover. Del,
by means Of poisoned candy mailed from
this city.
In passing sentence Judge Cook ex-
pressed regret that he could not impose
the death penalty, as the jury in its ver-
dict had fixed the punishment.
Mrs. Botkin received the sentence with
out evidence of emotion.
An appeal TO the supreme court will
be taken by her attorneys.
This is the second time that Mrs. Bot
kin has been sentenced to life imprisOn-
ment for the same crime.
Crime Committed in 1858.
1t was on August u, 1898, that Mrs.
Dunning and her children. together with
her sister, Mrs. J. d. Deane, all living in
Dover, Del, ate of candy sent TO Mrs.
DUnning from California with the follow
ing message:
With love to yourself and baby.
Mrs. c."
Mrs. Dunning died. the children and
Mrs. Deane were made i'll, but recovered.
Then it was discovered that the candy
had been poisoned.
1t was not until Dunning, who was in
Porto Rico at the time, returned that
Mrs. Botkin was accused. Dunning iden-
titled the handwriting on the candy pack
age, and told of his acquaintance with
Mrs. Botkin in San Francisco.
Jealousy was adjudged the motive.
The governor of Delaware requested Cali
fornia to deliver Mrs. Botkin for trial
on the charge of murder. The governor
Of California complied, but Mrs. Botkin
appealed to the courts, and after an ex-
pensive contest the courts held that no
requisition could be honored, as Mrs.
Botkin was not a fugitive from Della
ware.
First Trial Long One.
Eventually she was put on trial in
California, and after long trial. in which
almost every sort of expert was en-
plOyed by the state of California and wit
nesses were brought across the continent
from Delaware, she was convicted and
sentenced in September, 1898, to i'm
prisonment for life.
She appealed all through the state
courts. Every appeal was opposed by
California. Losing, she carried the case
to the United States supreme court,
which, after four years, granted a new
trial.
At the second trial last March the en-
tire case came to a standstill for a time
because it was charged q jurist had been
tempered with in behalf of Mrs. Botkin,
but the trial finally was concluded and
another verdict of guilty returned.

COURT RECOMMENDS DEATH.
Extreme Penalty for American Soldier
Who Joined Filipino Insurgents.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 23.-One of
the few sentences of death recommended
to be imposed on an American soldier,
growing out of service in the Philippines,
is found in the proceedings of the court
martial trying Private Fred II. Scow,
20. NJ, Twentieth United States in
fantry.
There were several charges against
him, the principal one being desertion.
Final action will have to be taken on
them by the President. Scow deserted
while serving in Luzon in July, 1900,
and was recaptured the same month. In
August of the same year he escaped and
joined the insurgent forces in Minduro
under the alias of F'redrico de la Cruz.
In May, 1902, he was recaptured by the
American forces
