RAINING including his confession and
his accusations against Mrs. English
was called upon the stand to consume
an hour and half in the reading of
the notes. There was little new
brought out in the notes.
During the reading of the state
ment regarding the $1,000 which was
left one night by Mrs Short in the
care of DIR. Keith to be locked in his
safe. the doctor explained to the jury
that he did not know whether the
package contained money or not.
''It was package wrapped in yell
low paper" he said, "It was tied with
string, on the package was written

its so of course 1 can not state wheth-
er or not there was actually that
amount of money in it,"
In the reading of the confession
and subsequent statement care was
taken to emphasize the fact that
and over that he thought of his awful
deed entirely by himself and that no
one whatever ever suggested such a
thing to him and that no one ever
limited that it would be well to have
Mrs. Short out of the way so that he
could get the money and marry Mrs.
English.
Mrs Matfer Testifies.
Mrs. Fannie NJ. Mather, the sister of
Mrs. Short, was placed on the stand

DINED- BY CAPPER.
Faturday Night Club Discusses "A
Certain Rich Man.

The Saturday Night club was dined
by Arthur Capper. The club discussed
William Allen Whites "A Certain Rich
Man." following a paper on 1.-THE Most
Popular Book of the Day. by B. H.
Pugh. who settled upon Mr.. Whites
latest book as entitled to that dis
inction.. Ex-senator Chester I. Long,
who is Il former member of the club,
~as guest and participated in the
discussion.
Mr. Pugh in his paper quoted lib
orally from the brilliant passages in
<he book. The discussion of the paper
and the book took a wide range. Much
of it from. the members was favorable
and highly complimentary; others
denied that the book was anything
like the great American novel that had
been expected from some great au-
-hor. One of the members quoted
Hamilton Wright Mabie, who says that
he considers the book one of the
greatest novels of the age; another
criticised the distance of which Mr..
White placed the moon from the
earth as millions of miles instead of
the 100000 miles listed by astrono-
mers. Many said they had not read
The book through. The severest critics
had not finished reading it.
The general opinion of those who
had read it was that the last half was
more interesting than the first half.
md moved along at livelier pace.
This might be natural in a book with
five love stories which would take
some time to get well under way
The remarkable facts about the great
sale of "A Certain Rich Man" were
brought out when it was learned that
the total sale has already reach about
10000 copies, or nearly twice the sale OF
all of Mr.. Whites other books COM
bined; that one firm in Topeka had sold
700 copies and 120 copies were sold in
two days in Topeka by one concern TO
the visiting teachers; the sales had
long since passed Mr. Whites widest
anticipations for the comparatively
short time within which the book had

Mrs. Dubeck and Mrs. Holcomb,

doctor at the last illness of Mrs.
Short and the subsequent statement
as to the cause of death by DR..

into Mysteries. Others who know
about the case will be given a chance
to tell all they know of Importance
in the case.
Should Tanning brace up enough to
talk he also will be placed on the
stand.
Last of all DR.. Dams will go upon
the stand to disqualify the entire story
of the witnesses.
The case depends therefore upon
the strength of testimony of the wit
nesses tic overcome the bare fact that
there was no poison found in the
stomach. The verdict of the jury is
hard to predict. The case seems
strong one. Yet the confession of
Tanning is practically worthless al

The effect the new state law reIa-

after hours, was clearly illustrated In
this city last night when water pipe
broke inside the Arcade saloon food

but because of the severity ofthe law
were afraid to enter the saloon to
shut off the water until they could
