VIII be Changed by Reason Of
the Death Of This
Democrat.

WASHINGTON, Nov 25.- Senator
Rayner. of Maryland died at his
home in this city at $40 a. M. fol-
lowing long fight against compli-
cation of diseases. Members of his
family were at his bedside when the
end came.
The death Of Senator Rayner
changes the political complexion OF
the next senate and swings 1t from
democratic control to tie. With
his vote the democrats had forty
nine, or one more than majority. AS
the present governor OF Maryland,
Lee Goldsborough, is a republican,
the new Maryland appointee will prob.
ably be of that pollticaI faith, until
the legislature meets in January
1914. This will give each party In
the senate forty-eight votes.

is reported to be Governor Goldsbor.
ough's choice as Rayner's successor
He will probably be appointed within
the week, so as to take his seat at
the opening OF the next session oi
the senate.
Senator Rayner was born in Baiti
more in 1850. He was educated at the
University of Virginia and in 1875
served in the Maryland state legisla
ture, In 1885 he was elected to the
| fiftieth congress, and was reelected
Ito the SD and 53rd sessions, declin
ling a fourth term From 1899 i,
1903 he served as attorney general O
Maryland and in 1904 was elected t,

was reelected for the term beginning
March 1911. The senator is survived
by a widow and one son, William

tomorrow evening it is expected that
all of the evidence will be in and a

Mrs. Lesch will be tried first on
the charge of having poisoned Mrs.
Elizabeth Quantancs. The second
charge will be for poisoning Mrs.
Eliza Cole. A plea of not guilty will
be entered in both eases.
The story of the unfortunate wo-
man has aroused the greatest sym.

wronged and gradually drifted from
bad to worse, according to her story.

Burton w. Gibson, the New York law
yer accused OF having choked Mrs.

boating on Greenwood Lake, came in
to court today to learn his fate. A
verdict was expected before midnight.
Only one minor witness was to be
heard, his evidence going to the dis
crediting Of the states chief witness
against Gibson. Then each side had
been granted two hours for summing
up while Justice Tompkins had ex-
planned that his chargs would not con.
sumo an hour.
The Jurors spent Sunday at their
homes. The court took their word
for It that they would not discuss the
case and permitted them to 60 back

that jury in capital case must be
held guarded. Both Gibson and his
wife expect further trouble should he
be acquitted here. 1t is understood
