How the Special Treasury AgentOnce Managed to Secure a Feast at the lixpense of Sam Ruddell. Major Horace A. Moore, special agent of the Treasury Department, has suc- ceeded In driving Mrs. Pickens,the stenog- rapher in his office whom he attempted to add to his list of victims, from the position which enabled her to support herself and little ones. As chief of the office Major Moore in- | dorses the salary warrant of his clerical force. Monday Major Moore issued the | warrants, but although the lady was | regularly employed in his office and had | worked since the first of the month Moore retused point blank to sign her warrant. Without it she could not draw her salary, | and not having discovered the office suffi- | ciently congenial to warrant her in work- ing without pay Mrs. Pickens resigned. When she handed ,in her resignation Moore told her he intended to fight her through the newspapers. His threat did not frighten the little woman, for she pluckily replied that he would better find out how many papers would support his cause before he attempted anything of that sort.

POTTER DRUG AND CHEM. CORP., Sole about Moore's attack upon her, and sn(d] that as soon as she escaped from him she went up to Bert Schlesinger’s office and sked him to protect her. Schlesinger was then Assistant United States District Attorney and had roved himself o stanch friend of the helpless woman on a previous occasion. He counseled her to return to her dutie: Mrs. Pickens says that last Monday, the ay The Call first narrated Moore's mis- deeds, a reporter on one of the morning | papers, who is on exceedingly friendly terms with Moore, abused her roundly for having charges preferred against the major and sought to browbeat her into admitting them untrue. She would not be intimidated, however. Though driven from Moore's office Mrs. Pickens will not her a better position. Since The Call's exposure of Major Moare innumerable stories of his miscon- duct are in_circulation. Around the Custom House, the em- ployes, without exception, say there was nothing too mean for the major to stoof) to, and one story told on Sam Ruddell, former deputy collector under W. D. Eng- lish, fairly illustrated the kind of man Moore is. The story is true in every par- ticular. On one occasion Moore insisted that Ruddell become his guest at lunch. On the way up the street Ruddell asked Moore in to have an appetizer, and the deputy took a cocktail. At the restau- rant the major requested Ruddell to order luncheon. Ruddell selected a pair of sprigs. ~When the fowls were finally served Ruddell ordered a small bottle of Burgundy, while the major called for a lemonade sweet. Luncheon disposed of, Major Moore arose from his seat without taking the check for the meal, an oversight Ruddell corrected. Not only that, but Sam later bought the cigars for the two.

Prosecution Will Put Its First Witness on the Stand This Afternoon—Dunning and the De- ace, but No Recog- Proceedings. 405 Montgomery street. O00000000000000 restrain his curiosity to see the woman who had caused his son-in-law to vio- late his sacred marriage vows and who | is now before the bar of justice awaiting a decision which may condemn her as the Wwanton murderess of his children. Mr. Pennington gazed intently at Mrs. Botkin every time he got an oportunity to see her features, and when court took a recess at noon he waited in the corridor to get a square look at her, and his impressions were neither favorable to her nor compli- mentary to Dunning’s taste. Several of the Delaware witnesses also attended court yesterday and watched the proceedings with evident interest. Drs. Down, Wolf and Bishop accompanied Mr. Pennington and as soon as their identity became known they were the center of in- terest to curious spectators. They were not as surprised at the rapid progress in securing a jury as were the Californians | present, as the Delaware courts do not waste any time in trial preliminaries. Mrs. Botkin, attired in black, and her sister were almost the first persons in the | court room. The defendant’s anpearance is not as healthful as when she was ar- rested. Lack of fresh air has given her an unwonted pallo' and she seems to 1ack the vitality and vivacity which were her predominant characteristics when she was first accused of the crime for which she is now on trial. She takes an active interest in the court proceedings most of the time, but frequently assumes an in- different attitude and lapses into an easy position. When the jurors were interro- gated on their scruples as to inflicting capital punishment on a woman she scanned each face intently, and when the talesman declares he is already convinced of her guilt she looks at him with defiant scorn. Once yesterday she seemed to feel the ravity of her position. When Assistant istrict Attorney Hosmer told the tales- men they were to be examined on_their fitness to pass judgment on “Mrs. Corde- lia Botkin, who sits here, charged with administering poison which caused the death of Mary Elizabeth Dunning,” she droflped her head on her hand, remaining with her head bowed until the prosecu- tor had completed reading the indictment. All the witnesses in the case have been | Eyen the Gallery Was Filled Wlth‘ Spectators. kin, accused of murdering Mary Elizabeth Dunning, were secured = yesterday in Judge Carroll Cook’s court. Nine of these were sworn in before the noon recess. In all probability the jury will be completed at this morning's session, and, after the opening statement by Assistant District Attorney Hosmer, the taking of testi- mony will begin thsi afternoon. The personnel of the jury as far as se- lected is a guarantee that Mrs. Botkin will secure a fair and impartial trial and that justice, based upon testimony, will be given her. Few juries are composed of as representative men as those who have given their oaths to perform their duty in this case. The proceedings yesterday, while wholly formal, were watched intently by the large crowd which filled the court room. The appearance of John P. Dunning, with Chief Lees, soon after court opened, sent a thrill of expectancy through the audi- ence, all of whom expected a highly dra- matic scene when he came face to face with his former paramour, whom he now accuses of murdering his wife. Both the principals in this tragic trial were pre- pared for this ordeal, which was sure to come, and they suppressed all manifesta- feelings which must have surged within them. But the great- er strain is impending. When Dunning takes the witness stand and tells under oath all the salacious details of. his rela- | ordered to be present at 2 p. m. to-day. Unless present Ylans are changed John B. Pennington will be the first witness to testify for the prosecution. Attorney Knight for the defense said last night that the trial would be over in a week. He will make every effort toward a quick trial, as he feels absolutely cer- tain the defendant will be acquitted. Mr. Knight denies the report published in an afternoon paper that he will withdraw from the case as soon as the jury is completed. He will continue in charge of the defense until the case is finally dis- posed of. Promptly at 10 o’clock Judge Cook en- tered the court room and Bailiff Wheeler rapped for order. Mrs. Botkin, her sis- ter and Attorneys Knight and Wheeler had taken their seats in front of the bar several minutes before the hour set for the beginning of the trial. Assistant Dis- teict Attorney Hosmer arrived a moment behind the Judge and he was followed an instant later by Chief of Police Lees and . P. Dunning, the principal witness for the prosecution. Dunning passed direct- 1y behind the woman accused of poisoning his wife and took a seat immediately in front of the jury box, in plain view of his former inamorata and the whole audience. He was recognized by a number of peo- ple and a subdued buzz which followed his arpearance caused every eye to turn in his direction. Then a couple of hundred inquisitive glances were alternately fo- cused on him and on the defendant, who sat with downcast eyes, gazing abstract- edly at the ribbing on the back of her gloves. Mrs. Botkin looked up at this interesting juncture and saw Dunning co- sulting with the prosecuting officer. At the same instant Dunning raised his eyes and squarely met the quizzical glance of the woman, once his friend, but no sign of recognition was apparent on either of their faces. Neither of the principals in the sensational trial showed any per- turbation or gave any indication of ner- Yousness at the approaching ordeal which both must go through. Mrs. Botkin, in response to a whispered question from Lawyer Wheeler, nodded affirmatively at Dunning, who was Jook- ing toward the gallery. Wheeler nudged Knight and the two legal Iuminaries scornfully scrutinized the man who will tell the shameful detalls of his relations Wwith their client and why he believes she may be a murderess. While this silent and semi-dramatic scene was belng enacted the court officials were busy preparing to proceed with the preliminaries of the selection of a a jury. Judge Cook ordered spectators to take seats n the gallery, and leave the down- stairs seats for jurymen. As soon as or- der was restored his Honor formally call- ed 1g‘hedczme. “Ready,” answered George Knight, and Mr. Hosmer did likewise, adding. ‘!zhflt At- torney General R. H. White of Delaware had arrived in the city, and he wished him to_be B‘“"C""Slfd in” the prosecution of the defendant. The defense acquiesced in the request, and a few moments later, when Mr. White entered, he was formally introduced to the court, and took a seat beside Mr. Hosmer. Court Clerk Tolle called the roll of the talesmen who had been summoned for jury duty, and the majority of them ~ answeres resent. Twelve talesmen took seats in the Jury box, and the prosecuting attorney arose and read the formal indictment charging Cordelia Botkin with the willful murc T of Mary Elizabeth Dunning. Mrs. Bot- kin sat with bowed head while the in- dictment was being read, and when the words “‘poison,” “murder” and ‘‘death’ were uttered she nervously drummed on the arms of her chair. She remained in a meditative attitude for severnl minutes after the conclusion of this formality, but tngknretl;lewed ln}erelft in !the proceedings whe e examination of ju 2 m;nced. o : Jurors com n examining the talesmen as to fitness to serve as jurors in this ragfl: case, Prosecutor Hosmer asked each one if he believed in capital punishment, and it he had any conscientious ccruples against lnflictln§ the death penalty upon a woman, provided she was convicted of murder.

His questions led to the belief that ne would be satisfied with any twelve im- artial citizens who had not formed opin- ons which required the defendant to-in- troduce evidence of her innocence before the people's case was submitted. His ex- aminations were short and incisive, and there was no bickering over questions propounded by either side. Every man in the jury box during the day admitted having read the extraaition proceedings in the newspapers, and quite a number admitted having formed unal- terable opinions that Mrs. Botkin is guil- ty. These men were, of course, excused. W. 8. Kittle, the first talesman exam- ined, said he was a classmate of J. P. Dunning in college, and that he had been an intimate friend of his wife. He was excused by consent. i Five jurors were accepted and sworn in out of the first twelve who entered the box, and when the noon recess was taken nine citizens had taken an oath to give the defendant a fair and impartial trial, and also to give her the benefit of a rea- sonable doubt as required by law. The remarkably rapid progress made in s curing a Juri' in so celebrated a case was extremely pleasing to all concerned and was also the subject of favorable com- ment by attorneys and others who had gone to Judge Cook's ‘court expecting the usual wrangle and delay in getting twelve men who would be satisfactory to both rosecution and ‘defense. During the 'orenoon session the people used five of the ten peremptory challenges allowed, while the defense used only one, though they are entitled to twenty. When a ju- ror was challenged by either side Judge Cook would take him in hand and en- deavor to ascertain why opinion had been formed or why circumstantial evidence would not be considered. His Honor felt that the reasons given were mere sub- terfuges to evade serving on the jury and only when compelled to do so under the law did he excuse the individual. At 12 o’clock,after admonishing the nine jurors who had been sworn in not to talk about the Botkin case and not to read the case in the papers, Judge Cook declared a recess until 2 p. m. Promptly on the moment his Honor took his seat and or- dered the case to proceed. But Mr. Knight was tardy and his Honor sent the bailiff to call him. He arrived in three or four minutes, but Mr. Hosmer was still absent. Judge Cook ordered Attorney Gen- eral White to proceed with the examina- tion of jurors. The latter demurred saying he preferred that Mr. Hosmer should con- duct the case. “Mr. Hosmer knows the court convenes at 2 o'clock,”” emphatically declared his Honor, “and I will not tolerate any delay of this sort. Proceed, Mr. White."” Mr. White was taken completely hy surprise, and was at a loss how to begin. He is not familiar with the Calitonua method of drawing a jury, which is quite different from the Delaware system. He asked two or three questions which_ he remembered had been used by Mr. Hos- mer and was compelled to turn to George Knight for assistance. Knight prompted the Delaware official on formal questions, and together they managed to kill time until Mr. Hosmer arrived and relieved his associate of further embarrassment and responsibility. The progress made during the morning session did not continue during the after- noon, only one additional juror being se- cured. A score or more of talesmen wera xamined, but they proved unsatisfactory and were either challenged or excused by consent. During the day each side used five peremptory challenges, the prosecution not using any in the afternoon. Those challenged by the prosecution were: John Quardt, C. M. Levy, L. F. Fogg. J. K Wilson and C. S. Bassett, all because of their disposition to disregard circumstan- tial evidence unless it was absolutely in- controvertible. The defense challenged D. Bloch because of an _opinion already formed as to the defendant’s guilt; G. G. Wickson, because he thought a Grand Jury’s indictment was a strong indication of guilt; Charies Mattheas, for bias; E. J. Schultz, for bias, and D. M. Farnsworth, by courtesy of Mr. Knight. Among the men who were examined but got out of serving for one cause or an- other were: Rolla V. Watt. who was prejudiced against the defense; Jacob Gordon, defective hearing; F. W. Wright, opposed to capital punishment; B. J. Gunn, prejudice; J. K. Prior, opposed to conviction on - circumstantial evidence: Charles Brown, opposed to capital pun- ishment; A. W. Moore, would not inflict death penalty on a woman; Colonel A. G Hawes, opinion already formed: J. K. Wilson, Henry Lackmann, Oliver Eld- ridge, W. S. Duyal, J. F. Moran, Colonel George Btone, A. C. Bush, M. Weil, John H. Grady and others b they had read the newspapers an formed opinions. 5 At 3:20 the names in the jury box were exhausted and a_recess was taken until 10 a. m. to-day. Before adjourning Judge Cook said that 25 or 3) talesmen who had been summoned had not answered and he believed the jury could be completed without another venire being ordered. Clerk Tolle was directed to notify all the absentees to be in court this mornin Among the talesmen who falled to r spond when their names were called were: Thomas Magee, G. H. Umbsen, E. M.
