4 long experience as detective has
convinced me that the precautions
thrown around accused persons upon
which so much condemnation is vent
sd are simply what is requisite 70 pre-
vent the punishment OF innocent per-
sons One of these precautions that
has been condemned is the admission
Of q plea Of insanity When people
hear Of q case Of poisoning they are
ant to say the poisoner Will be proved
insane. My own view based on nay eX-
perience, is that an insane person Is
liable to be proved guilty of murder
was once called upon by g gentle
man named Farnsworth, who inform
ed me that some one had sent anony-
1nousIy a bottle Of port wine 10 mis-
wife. The lady had recently present
cd him with an infant The bottle had
been opened by her nurse, who took
the precauCion to taste the vine before
permitting her charge to take any OF
it. There was q peculiar flavor to the
wine, which rendered the nurse sus-
Dicius and she refrained from taking
more than a taste When the doctor
came again she turned the beverage
over to him. He analysed it ana
found that 1t contained arsenic.
[ made every inquiry as to any per
son who might harbor any enmitv
against Mrs Framework, but could
find no clew. ] inquired mlnutely Il
she had ever had trouble with any Of
her. servants, but learned that she had
not. Those who had left her service
had expressed a very kindly feeling
for her, and those she employed al the
time Of the receipt Of the Wine had
been with her for years.
The only ciew offered me was the
wrapper to the bottle, on which there
was q pen and Ink address. The goods
had been put in a long box, shaped to
Inclose a bottle and the whole wrapped
In brown paper The address was not
written on the wrapper, but on a tag
that was attached to the parcel. The
handwriting was that of p woman.
This fact of course suggested that the
criminal might be feminine. Though
this was only q suggestion 7 inclined
TO the theory that q woman was more
likely to have made the attempt than
q man There was the tag, on which
was written the address plainly and
evidently with 40 attempt 30 disguise
the hand But how was I TO find the
j person who had written it2 I obtained
specimens Of the writing Of those
composing the household and many
others having any connection what
ever with the family. but none Of them
had any resemblance whatever TO THAI
on the tag.
Having made no Roadway while
keeping the matter secret. 7 resolved
20 let IL become public hoping that
some one who might know something
about the sending Of the bottle would
come forward with cleW- j caused

Kansas Warden Releases Men to Aid
Government.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 2S.-Sev-
eral prisoners possessing technical
qualifications have been pardoned
from the Kansas state penitentiary
and are. serving the government in
their technical trades Warden j. X
Codding of the institution announced
here today. He was discussing the
national prison congress to be held
next week at Washington when prison
authorities from all parts of the Uni
tee States and Canada will discuss a
proposed movement for the release of
such men who have expressed desires
to serve during the national emer-
gency.
The suggested action was said to
concern such men as electricians, me-
chanics and others of a similar nature.
The extent of the pardoning here was
not revealed nor would the warden
assert where the men had been placed.
LAS everybody knows, there are
mighty fine men serving sentences
who are clean and, in such an emer-
gency as that today, are eligible to
serve their country if they ask the
privilege" Mr.. Codding said.
