The Pennington family at that time consisted of himself, his wife, his two daughters and his two grandchildren, the young daughter of Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane, and Joshua D. Deane. The | members of the family ate their supper, and none were sick thereafter. Then Mrs. the yeranda and the package was handed to the mother. She looked &t the wrap- per, but did not recognize the handwrit- ing’ thereon. She then opened it, and found a pink box, oblong in shape, across | the top of which was inscribed the word, ‘bonbon: Opening the box, she found a note reading, ‘With love to yourself and baby—Mrs. C a handkerchief twith a 25- | cent price mark thereon and a quantity of | mixed chocolate candy, consisting of cara- mels and hard and soft pleces of different | she professed to be ill and had breakfast shapes and sizes. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1898 9 1896 Mrs. Dunning returned to her father’s home and the intimacy between J. P. Dunning and the defendant continued. He went to 927 Geary street, where she lived, and secured a room there, and they often occupied the same apartment. This ex- isted till the spring of 1897, when Dunning went to Salt Lake. While there he re- celved a copy of the anonymous letter sent to his wife, and he forwarded it to Mrs. Botkin. In_the summer Dunnin returned to San Francisco and resumes his relations with Mrs. Botkin, who was then living at the Victoria Hotel. She informed him she had been divorced from her husband, who lved In Stockton. About the time of the opening of the Spanish war Dunning received a telegram calling him to New York. Mrs. Botkin ac- companied him across the bay to Oak- land, where they separated. Dunning met his wife at Philadelphia and thence pro- ceeded to Florida and to the war. ““We expect to show that Dunning wrote to Mrs. Botkin from New York that he intended to rejoin his family and reside in that city. About June 1, 1898, the defend- ant went from the Victoria Hotel to the Owl drug store in this city and bought two ounces of arsenic, telling the drug clerk she wished to clean some straw hats. The clerk informed her there were other chemicals better to use for that purpose, but she persisted and was given arsenic. About the same time a person answering the description of Mrs. Botkin arsenic at the Star drug store. 27th of July last the defendant went to Stockton, wheres her husband re- sided. She was under the weather and while there talked with Mrs. Rauof, a nurse, about poison, and made inquiries as to the quantities of strychnine and ar- senic necessary to kill a person. She also asked the nurse about rates of postage on packages and said she intended sending a package north and inquired if a person sending a registered parcel had to sign his name. Then she asked if one had to tell a doctor or a lawyer the truth when engaged professionally. We ex- gec( to show by the testimony of Mrs. auof that Mrs. Botkin at that time re- marked that she and Dunning were to become closer than ever before and we also expect to show by Mrs. Rauof the in. timacy which existed between the de- fendant and the husband of the woman she is alleged to have poisoned. “The defendant returned from Stockton to this city July 30 and went to the Vie- toria Hotel. On the morning of the 3lst served In her room, That afternoon a woman answering her description went into the candy store of George Haas, on Market street, near the terminus of the car line which passes the Victoria Hotel, and asked the voung lady clerk to hurry and get her a box of chocolate. She wanted a fancy box and the clerk went across the store and got a box which was satisfactory. This party asked the clerk not to completely fill the box, as she wished to put something else in it. In- stead of charging the usual price the clerk only charged 40 cents, because the box was-not full. The clerk wrapped the box in tissue paper and placed a seal on it and then wrapped it in a piece of paper tion showed that he had been poisoned, the deadly crystals having been placed in his sugar. All of the evidence connecting Cuff with the crime was of a most cir- cumstantial nature and the court seemed to allow the prosecution unusual latitude in introducing evidence showing a motive. In so doing it committed an error that caused the higher court to reverse the judgment and order and direct that the case be retried. MORE SHORTAGES IN M'GLADE’S ACCOUNTS HE FORGED NINE WARRANTS DURING JULY. Realized $832 by His Last Theft. Derham Says He Never Signed the Claims. Pete McGlade must face more of his own wrongdoing. The comparison of the Auditor's books with the warrants of tue Street Department was finished yesterday and at the last moment it developed an- other shortage in the defaulting deputy’s accounts—this time of $832. The methods pursued by McGlade were the same .as in the first cases charged against him—wholesale forgery, perjury and fraud—and, as in the first instances, evidences of the participation in his crimes by others whose names the police have not yet been able to discover. The $832 secured was taken from the treasury on nine fraudulent names during the month of August. The warrants were all made out to fictitious names, and signed by McGlade himself. They also bore the signature of Charles Derham, another of the deputies in the Street Department; but when seen yesterday Derham declared ;hal :!n each case the signature had been orged. The fictitious names to which McGlade issued his latest bunch of warrants are: J. Kelley 380 50; T. Dwyer $92, O. Gould 392. William Magee $92: C. Murphy $92, . Sullivan $92, H. Swords $92, W. Hanra- han $100, J. Tierney $100. Mayor Phelan has laid_the case of Mc- Glade before the Grand Jury. —_—————————— BALDWIN FIRE DISCUSSED. Complaints Against Obstructions Re- ferred to Chief Sullivan and the Fire Wardens. The Fire Commissioners at their meet- ing yesterday afternoon appointed John Flynn truckman of truck 5. A communication was read from the Merchants' Association intimating that it would award a gold medal yearly for pre- sentation to a member of the department for bravery in saving life, and a vote of J.

A murmur of relief from the spectators followed the completion of the jury and the attorneys shifted thelr seats and prepared for the actual beginning of the trial. Juror Marcuse desired to be excused from serving and he attempted to secure a dismissal by Imitating Colonel J. S. Young, whose conscience would not per- mit him to try the case. Marcuse ad- dressed the Judge, saying his mind was in such a condition that he did not feel qualified to act. His Honor would not listen to him, and the unwilling juror dis- 5 y resumed his seat. gu\"l‘(“l‘i{” Tolle then read the indictment charging Mrs. Botkin with the murder of Mrs. John P. Dunning. At 10:20 Assist- ant District Attorney Hosmer began the opening statement for the prosecution. e Spoke for fifty minutes without an at- tempt at oratory and was only inter- rupted once by Mr. Knight.

In the opening statement Mr. Hosmer reviewed ail the evidence ‘wWhich was con- tained in the affidavits presented to Gov- ernor Budd when the defendant’s extr: dition was requested by the State of Dela- ware. The prosecution did not foreshadow any new evidence. Mr. Hosmer said: “May it please the court and you, gen- tlemen of the jury: In sugpurl of the in- dictment you- have just heard read the ?NJ])IQ expect to show a state of facts as ollow ““The evening mail which arrived at Dover, Del., on the 9th of August last con- tained a package, which will be identified, addressed to Mrs, John P. Dunning. This package was taken from the mailbag by the Postmaster and placed in the box of ’ retchtng and abdominal pains. The fol- lowing morning a physician_was called to administer to them and to Leila Deane and Harry Pennington, who had also be- come sick later at night. Mrs. Deane lived from the 9th to the ning of the 11th of August, and Mrs. Dunning died on the 12th. Leila Deane was sick three days and recovered. Harry Pennington and Ethel Millington were sick all the day of the 10th. ss Bateman, after leaving the Pennington home, found a foreign substance imbedded in her gums and the following day she was also sick. During the sickness of those who partook of the candy Mr. Pennington went to Mrs. Dun- ning and asked her where the remainder of the candy had been placed. She told him ‘on top of the secretary.’ He found it there with the note, handkerchief and wrapper. He looked at the superscrip- tion on the wrn;;per and was struck by the resemblance it bore to certain letters he had at his office, of which I shall speak later. “A little later he gave the box and con- tents to the physiclan who attended his daughters, and the latter gave three jeces of the candy to Dr. Wolf, a chem- st, who made an analysis and found 11 to 12 ‘grains of arsenic in the three pleces. After this had been done the Coroner's jury at Dover found that Mrs. Deane an Mrs. Dunning had come to their death by arsenical poisoning. Then the box, candy, handkerchief and writin, were passed to the Attorney General o Delaware, and by him to Bernard J. Mc- Vey, who brought the articles to this city and delivered them to Chief of Police Lees. These exhibits are now in the same condition as they were when brought here. “We expect to show by Mr. Penning- ton that in the spring of 1897 he obtained a letter addressed to Mrs. Dunning which had been sent from San Francisco. She read the letter, which was anonymous, and called her father’s attention to it. The letter contained charges against her husband, and on the advice of her father she sent a_copy to Mr. Dunning, who was then in Salt Lake. Shortly afterward an- other anonymous letter reached Dover, and she again consulted her father, re- questing him, if any more letters of that nature came, to keep them and not show them to her. During the summer a third letter came, which he kept in his office. ‘When he compared these writings with the address on the wrapper around the candy box he was satisfled—" “I " object,” interrupted Mr. Knight. “That is an improper statement to a jury.”” The objection was sustained and Mr. Hosmer resumed: “We expect to show that John P. Dun- ning was living in San Francisco in 1895, and he then became acquainted with Mrs. Miss Cordelia Botkin, the defendant. An inti- macy sprang up between them and they were frequently in each other’'s soclety. In identical with that which inclosed the poisoned candy sent to Delaware. “'We expect to show that the candy sent to Delaware was made by Haas, who with his employes will identify it. On the aft- ernoon of July 31 Mrs. Botkin was seen going to her room by the landlady of the Victoria Hotel, who was surprised to see her lodger about, as she was supposed to be sick. “We purpose to show that Mrs. Bot- kin was in the Citf; of Paris dry goods store and bought a handkerchief identical in texture with the one sent to Delaware and similarly marked. We will show that in the room occupied by Mrs. Botkin at the Victoria was found a portion of a seal which came from Haas’' store. “On August 4 Mrs. Botkin left the hotel to fi) to_St. Helena, and wrote a letter to Mrs. Price to forward her mail. We expect to show that in the early part of August there was mailed at the ferry a package addressed to Mrs. John P. Dun- ning, which arrived at Dover bearing a San Francisco postmark dated August 4. John Dunnigan, a postal clerk of this city, handled the package and was struck by the similarity of names. “We will show that Mrs, Botkin went to 8t. Helena and from there crossed over to Healdsburg and at the latter place recelved the news of Mrs. Dunning’s death. She was interviewed by Miss Liv- ernash, a newspaper woman, who will swear to conversation which took place between them, in which the defendant spoke of her love for Dunning, and of an admission that she would probably be suspected of the murder of his wife. Mrs. Botkin then went to Stockton accompa- nied by Miss Livernash, and there a stormy scene took place between husband and wife. Mr. Botkin's son told Miss Liv- ernash that ‘Jack Dunning loves my mother.’ “We expect to show by handwriting ex- gerts that the anonymous letters, the ad- ress on the package and the note within the candy box are all in the handwriting of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin. “‘Gentlemen,” said Mr. Hosmer, in con- clusion, “if we prove these facts we shall expect a verdict of murder in the first de- gree against the defendant.” ‘When Mr. Hosmer finished Attorney Knight arose, and after a short consulta- tion with the prosecution moved for an adjournment until Monday. Judge Cook acquiesced and after the jurv received the usual instructions court was adjourned and Mrs. Botkin went back to the County Jall. Mrs. Botkin’s brother- D. G. McClure, in-law, sat with her yesterday. Her hu: band and son have not, so far, appeared at the trial—in fact, she has not seen her son since she was arrested.

The Superior Court of Modoc County made an error in admitting certain evi- dence in the case of James Cuff, accused of having attempted to murder a man named Miller by strychnine poison. The two persons were the suitors for the hand or favors of a girl named Miss Lush, and Miller was the more favored. One day he became very sick and an investiga- thanks was passed to the association. A communication was also read from the association complaining against the obstruction on the sidewalk caused by the Baldwin Hotel fire, and it was refer- :ec?léo the Chlef and Fire Wardens to take m. —_——— Pretty boxes of good writing paper, sterling sflver desk pads, letter-openers, penholders, match and stamp boxes, pen- cil-holders and inkstands. _Good ~for Christmas presents.
