death from strychnine poisoning. but
what additional finding tending to
show the responsibility, II any, is the
point of paramount consequence.
While the police here claim to have
no information Of evidence gathered
in Honolulu from advices received
from there the impression prevails
that Miss Berner has told something
or will tell something at the inquest
that will serve to clear up in a meas
ure the mystery.
A report was circulated last night
that Miss Berner had directly accused
All Wing, the Chinese cook Of the
Stanford mansion, Of having placed
the strychnine in the bottle Of BIZ
carbonate of soda and that upon the
information he had been arrested.
The police deny that All Wing is
under arrest any more than any other
member Of the Stanford household.
and claim they have no official adj
vices to the effect that Miss Berner
has made such accusation.
A vigorous search is being prose-
cuted today in Palo Alto for further
employee of the Stanford mansion
upon whom suspicion has been cast.
This man is said to have purchased
there, through another man. quanti-
ties Of strychnine at various times,
but this is not yet proved.
The police and private detectives
claim to have every line we'll in hand
and the murderer can not escape.
The theory was advanced last night,
following the erroneous report Of the
finding Of another bottle Of strych-
nine in Mrs. Stanford's trunk, that
Mrs. Stanford had been taking poison
as medicine and accidentally swallow
ed an overdose. but this is secluded
by the police and others directly in
terested in the case.
Attorney Wilson announced this
morning that the will may be filed
within a few days, or as soon as it
Is no longer necessary to keep the
contents a secret. Under the law he
has 80 days in which to file 1t,
but believes it will expedite the in
vestigation to have the document on
record. He denied that he has re-
vealed all it's contents to the police.
The chief Of a private detective
agency working on the case, Chief
Of Police Spillane and Chief of De-
tectives Burnett had a protracted
conference this morning. AS a re-
suit of this conference it was agreed
that all radical action be postponed
until the chemists report was receiv-
ed from Honolulu. 1t was stated after
the conference that the officials were
not prepared to say that they sus-
pected any particular person.
A representative of detective
agency called upon Attorney Wilson
this afternoon and arranged for a
meeting with Mrs. Stanfords rela-
tives to discuss the advisability of
fling the will and pians for pushing
the investigation as to the cause of
Mrs. Stanford's death. AS the meet
ing is set for late hour today it is
unlikely any conclusion will be reach
ed therein to be given out before
tonight or tomorrow.

BRYAN. O., March 3.--.The state
will rest this afternoon in the Letch-

overruled the motion of the defense
to direct verdict of dismissal be-
cause of insufficient evidence and to
strike out a portion of Jack Pages

Jessie Mabel Easte married George
