MRS. BOTKIN SHEDS TEARS
WHEN DUNNING TESTIFTES
Her Preliminary Hearing on Charge of
Murder Continued Before Police
Judge COnIan
Judge ConIan.


The preliminary examination of Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin on a charge of muir
der in caHsing the death of Mrs. Ida
Henrietta Deane by sending a box of
poisoned candy to Dover, Del, in
August, 1898, to Mrs Elizabeth Dun
ming, Mrs. Deanes sister, was con-
tinued in Judge Conlan's court yes
terday.
The witnesses examined were Joshua
d. Deane, the complaining witness;
Miss Mary A. Dunning, who saw Mrs.
Deane's father write his initials on
the box of candy and hand 1t to De-
tective McVey. and John p Dunning,
her brother, whose cross-examination
was not concluded when court ad-
journed
When Dunning was giving his testi-
mony Mrs. Botkin kept prompting her
attorney. She kept her eyes stead
fastly fixed on Dunning, but he avoid
ed her gaze. Once, while he was testi-
flying to the hilarious times they had
at midnight suppers, she covered her
face with her handkerchief and burst
into tears.i

MEANS REVENUE
FOR The STATE
Attorneys for Fair Estate
Agree to Pay It's COllat-
eral Inheritance Taxes
SCHOOLS WILL BENEFIT
Treasurer McDougald Will
Collect S127,117 05 Upon
Which Interest ACQUIRES

Charles Heggerty, of the law firm Of
! knight & Heggerty, and Percy Tow
ner, of Lloyd g. Wood, attorneys for
/ the Fair estate, were in consultation
with City Treasurer McDougald yester-
/ day relative to the payment to the
I State Of the collateral inheritance tax
on the estate.
1t was figured that the tax will
amount to s127, III O5, being per cent
OF 32,542, $40 80, the present value OF the
estate left by the late Charles l. Fair.
Most of the money will be placed to the
credit of the State school fund.
The inventory and appraisement OF the
estate was fixed at $S,04o. 1877 S5, but this
was reduced by the sum of s497,S46 So,
of which $215,065 45 is for claims paid
on the estate; s15o.000 for attorneys
fees; s45,1OS 66 for commissions of ad-
ministrator; s64,155 eS receipts Of the
estate between the time Of Fair s
death and the filing of the inventory,
which amount is not taxable, and $685.
5l7 09 for other expenses.
The attorneys agreed to pay to the
City Treasurer the amount due from
:
hough some doubts exist as to the le-
gality of compelling inheriting sisters
30 pay the taxes. i'm this case Mrs. Her
mann Oelrichs and Mrs. Virginia Van
derbilt.
Under the law the taxes due will
bear interest at the rate Of per cent
per annum for a certain period until
paid TO the State. The interest on the
sum involved will amount to s24 p per
day. dating from February IA. 1904.
The commissions for collecting the
tax TO which the City Treasurer is en-
titled under the State law will aggre-
gate approximately 1925. case is
now pending in the courts to determine
il the City Treasurer can receive the
commissions under the charter provis-
ion which prohibits any city official
from accepting fees outside of his regu-
lar salary. Pending the decision all
such fees are being held in the city's
vaults.

SHERIFF MAKES
A CRAVE ERROR
Arrangement of Wrong Man
Leads to Complications
in the Superior Court
JUDGE COOK PERPLEXED
Alphonse Peterson Is Sub
stituted for Henry and
the Former May Go Free

A case of too much Peterson devel-
open in Judge Cooks court yesterday
when an argument. on an application
for writ of habeas corpus for the
release of Alphonse Peterson from Gus
tody came up. Through blunder of
the Sheriff, Alphonse has been substi-
tuted for Henry Peterson, and AL
phonse's attorney now claims that as
the time has elapsed within which AL
phonse should be arraigned he should
be discharged from custody.
Henry was held to answer by Police
Judge Conlan on February on charges
of assault to murder and burglary and
the cases we're assigned to Judge
Cooks court Alphonse was held to
answer by Judge Conlan on March "a
on three charges of grand larceny. but
the cases have not yet been assigned.
1t has developed that when Henry
should have been taken to court for
arraignment Alphonse was taken by
mistake. After being arraigned and
asked his true name he answered, AL
phonse Peterson" AS the Judge had
not heard of Alphonses case, he
thought Henry's true name was AL
phonse, and 1T was entered on the rec
ords as 'Alphonse Peterson, alias
Henry Peterson
Henry was entirely overlooked in the
County Jail, and when w. Hoff Cook,
Alphonses. attorney, began to make
inquiry he ascertained the blunder that
had been made. He took advantage
of it by applying for the writ of ha-
beas corpus for the release of his client.
Both Petersons were taken to court
from the County Jail yesterday. The
Judge. after listening to the argument
on the application for writ, contin-
ued the matter for further hearing till
tomorrow. In the matter of Henry
the Judge made an order that all the
proceedings be vacated, as he had
never been arraigned. He was ordered
to appear for arraignment tomorrow.

WELDING CHAIN
AROUND BLACK
A. Knox, a Valencia Street
Grocer, Identifies Him as
the Man That Held Him Up
RECOGNIZED BY OTHERS
He Will Be Charged With
Assault to Commit MUIR
der and Assault to Rob

The chains are Tightening round Jack
who was arrested last Friday evening
by Detectives Bunner and Freel on
Eddy street, on suspicion of being the
footpad that committed several recent
holdups in the Mission district.
On Sunday he was identified by
Frank Campbell, a teamster as man
he saw running away from Policemen
Walsh and Skelly after an exchange
of shots at Twenty-third and Dolores
streets. on the night of April TO- On
Monday heAwas identified by E. j.
Treese as the masked footpad that held
him up and shot him on the night of
March 20 on Twenty-second street, near
Dolores, and by Mrs. Butler, who was
with Treese at the time.
! Yesterday Andrew B. Knox, of Rob
inson G. Knox, grocers. SIS Valencia
street, called at the City Prison and
Knox identified Black as the masked
footpad who entered his store on the
night of March u, and after unsuccess-
fully attempting. to open the cash reg
lister fired shot at Knox. P. F. Au-
gustiny, fish dealer, S6S Valencia street,
and A. Ruppel, wine merchant, s34 Va
lenca street, accompanied Knox TO the
prison and also identified Black, They
were attracted by the shot and saw
Black running out of KnoX's store.
They were all positive in their identifi-
cation.
Treese will swear out complaints
this morning charging Black with as
sault to rob and assault to commit
murder, and Knox will follow the same
course.
John O'Brien, grocer, Shotwell and
Nineteenth streets, who was held up
and robbed with Daniel Ford, cus-
toner. on the night of April g. failed
to identify Black, although the officers
say that O'Brien gave a perfect de-
scription of Black to them.

THREE CANDIDATES ARE
STILL IN THE RUNNING
Mayor Schmitz Will Appoint Either
Lynch. Rogers or Woodward to
Be City Engineer.

Mayor Schmitz will signify to the
Board of Public Works to-day his
choice in the matter of the appoint
ment of City Engineer to succeed c.
z. Grunsky. and the name of the ap-
pointee will be announced at the
boards meeting. The appointment has
been hanging fire for several weeks,
the three strongest candidates-Hen-
~ Lynch. Charles s. Rogers and Com
missioner of Works Woodward-being
still the only ones having a chance for
the Office.
A Ruef is trying hard to prevail on
the Mayor to promote Woodward
again and is sanguine that he will be
successful. Lynch has very influen-
tial backing which the Mayor is anx-
ious TO recognize. while Rogers also
has prominent people working active
~ in his behalf, who would bring
strength TO Schmitz's political aspira-
tions. 1t is safe to say that one of the
three named will secure the plum, but
which one the Mayor alone can tell.
