MRS. SANGSTER DOUBTS
She Thinks Her Husband May Be In-
nocent After All.

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Seaton ". Sangs-
ter has arrived here to stand trial on
charges OF attempting to poison his
wife and little daughter by sending
them three boxes of poisoned candy.
Detective James Bell arrived with him
from Lawrence, kan, where he was ar
rested. He was at once taken to the
county jail. The first thing he said
when several newspaper men entered
his cell was: Boys, please don't say
anything to hurt the character of my
wife.
Although these terrible charges are
untrue, and I understand they en1an-
ated from my wife, I want to say she
is a good woman. I believe she was
Influenced by some other person in
making the charges that I attempted
to poison her and the little girl.
why, that little girl has kept me
broke for ten years. I have given her
every cent could earn. MY wife
couldn't have been in her right mind
when she made those charges. she Is
a woman of high mental attachments,
but occasionally is Tightly.
.She caused my arrest twice be-
fore. December was the last time.
Ny arrest was kept quiet, as the po-
lice were convinced there was no foun-
dation for the charge
When told that City Chemist Bean
had found enough poison in the CANDY
examined to kill seven persons, he said
ne could not understand IT.
Mrs. Sangster, who made the orig
inal charge against her husband rela-
tive to the sending of the alleged pois-
oned candy, showed Signs OF breaking
down, and herself raised the question
of her husbands innocence. She said
to her landladY. Mrs. Brown: Per
haps I am all wrong in this. His
case may be like the others"
1.-The Others" referred to instances
when Mrs. Sangster caused the arrest
Of her husband on charges that were
found to be groundless- Mrs. Brown
informed the police last night that the
candy had been eaten FOR several days
before any mention was made OF
poison. The little girl then became
slightly sick and Mrs. Brown suggest
ed that it might be stale Mrs. Sangs-
ter agreed to this, but on the day fol-
lowing declared that she believed the
candy had been poisoned and that she
intended to have 1t analysed. 1t is the
opinion of Assistant State Attorney
Holt who is investigating the case that
the charges against Mr.. Sangster will
not be proven and that he will be able
to show that he didn't send any poison
to his daughter.

MAY END SUIT.
Custer Proceedings Against santa ne
May Be Dropped.

1T looks very much right now as If
the case brought last winter to Gust
the Santa Fe railroad from the state
for alleged com Animation with the
Standard Oil company in the way of
secret rates and rebates, is about to
be wiped off the slate.
At any rate the case is now in
statu qou in Chautauqua county where
il was brought, having been continued
from the recent October to the next
February term. And Incidentally
Senator Fred Dumont Smith of Kins-
ley today said that the matter might
be eventually dropped in the light of
certain concessions which the Santa
Fe railroad has made and the opera
tfons of which are now being
watched"
Senator Smith is here in Topeka to-
dav and scoincidentaIlv' as he said:
Senator ". r Fitzpatrick of Sedan, c.
d Shuckers of Sedan, county attorney
for Chautauqua county, and ii. e.
West of l9eru.
West is the head of the Oil Produc-
ers' association and worked hard for
the legislation proposed and adopted
last winter. The suit against the Santa
F'e was brought by the stare of kan
sas ON the relation of G. D Shuckers. -
Smith and Fitzpatrick are the attOr-
neys for Shuckers. The entire group
is interested in the case But both
Fitzpatrick and Smith say that they
just ran in here accidentally and that
all but he would probably leave for
their homes tonight.
what are the concessions you
speak Of % was asked of him.
'hThe Santa Fe.' he replied. ''has
granted the low. maximum rate on
hauling fuel oil and refined oil to the
independent redneries. The Santa Fe
has put on 500 tank cars &r the bene-
flt Of the producers.
Then also the Santa Fe has under
consideration an interstate rate so that
refined and crude oil can be shipped out
of the state. The latter matter is still
under consideration and I cannot say
what the outcome viii be.
THE road has made these conces-
sions. Consequently the case was con-
tinued from the October term until the
February term. We wish to see what
the results viii be. and how these con-
cessiCns viii operate. They may result
in the dropping of the case.
But the presence of all these different
parties here today has nothing to do with
the matter at all 1t was wholly an &C
cident that we are here together. Three
