WILL CHARGE
SECOND CRIME
Mrs. Cordelia BOtkin Will
Have to Face Court for
Killing Mrs. J. d. Deane
WARRANT TO BE ISSUED
Authorities Have Taken No
Action on the Sensation
al Allegation of Bribery

Mrs. Cordelia Botlzin, convicted muir
deress. will have to face another
charge Of murder. A complaint viii be
sworn 10 this morning by Joshua d.
Deane, husband OF Ida Henrietta
Deane, the other victim Of Mrs. Bot
kin's crime. Mrs. Deane ate OF the
poisoned candy with fatal results. A
warrant viii be issued by one Of the
Police Judges, and it will be served on
the prisoner at the County Jail
Il is the intention of District Attor-
ney Byington 10 commence the pre-
liminary examination on Monday if
possible, so as TO allow the Delaware
witnesses to return 10 their homes.
This move is prompted by a desire of
the District Attorney to have the tes-
timony Of the foreign witnesses in such
shape that, should the necessity arise
by a reversal of the present verdict,
their evidence could be read at a trial.
The law provides that testimony given
at a former trial cannot be used
against a defendant in the Superior
Court in transcript form. but a tran
script Of testimony given in the lower
court is admissible.
At the last session of the Legisla-
ture Mr. Byington had a bill intro
duced providing for an amendment TO
the code so as to allow testimony of
witnesses in former trials TO be used
when the witness is out of the juris-
diction OF the court or dead, but the
criminal lawyers beat the measure. II
IL had passed the city would have been
many thousands of dollars in pocket on
the Botkin trial. After the Delaware
witnesses testify the testimony of local
witnesses can be taken at any time
The District Attorneys Office is
highly elated by the verdict and a
stream Of well-wishers crowded Bying-
tons Office all day TO offer congratu-
lations. George A. knight, the main
stay of Mrs Botkin. had nothing to
say about the verdict of the jury. He
has not settled on what grounds an ap-
peal viii be taken. but no effort viii
be spared 10 secure a reversal The
new contingency which has arisen by
the action Of Deane in swearing to a
complaint on another charge Will no
doubt bring about a determined bat
tie to prevent a preliminary eXamina-
tion. knight expresses himself as sat
isfied with the courts rulings and in
structions. Relative TO the charge of
attempted bribery made by Juror
Goetjen during the trial, Byington has
but little TO say and evades answering
whether he will take any action in the
matter He declares that no evidence
has been presented to him upon which
a prosecution could be instituted.
Chief Whitman will have GOetjen be
fore him this morning, and upon the
result OF the interview depends wheth-
er further action will be taken. Early
yesterday afternoon Whitman ex-
pressed himself as believing GOetjen' s
story, but later he experienced a
change Of heart.
1t is understood that Mrs. Bot6in has
broken down. but she will no doubt
make her appearance in the Police
Court showing the same stoicisIn as
characterized her demeanoT at the
trial before Judge Cook.
