It will prob- ably be nearly midnight before they reach the city. With them will come John P. Dunning and his little daugh- ter. Originally, he intended to be here | | at the opening of the trial, but business reasons compelled him to delay and he joined the other witnesses at Philadel- | phia and proceeded westward in their | company. He is the husband of the| | murdered woman and the alleged mo-| ’fl\‘e of the crime was jealousy on the | | part of Mrs. Botkin. The daughter is | now eleven years old. At the first triai she was not present to testify. She | partook of some of the poisoned candy | and her condition was so precarious | that she was unable to ‘travel when | Mrs. Botkin was first convicted of the murder. | NEW EVIDENCE FOUND. | Dr. T. W. Stone of Stockton has been | summoned as a witness for the State | in the case. It is said that his testi- | | mony will be very detrimental to the case of the accused. Mrs. Botkin lived in Stockton with her husband in 1898. | While she was ill on July 28 of that | year, Dr, Stone was called in. When | her condition had improved she con- versed at length witk. him, asking him | in detail all about arsenic. He thought | {she was Jjoking. and told her to =se | morphine if she was going to commit suicide, whereupon she remarked that she did not intend to use any drug on herself. She asked if too much would not cause vomiting and thus not poison the person taking it. She went to San Fran- |cisco a few days afterward and re- | turned on August 18, and Dr. ‘Stone | was called in again. She was suffer- ing from hysterics. Shortly afterward a woman who had | been sent here as a private detective called on Dr. Stone and asked him what illness troubled Mrs. Botkin. Tha doctor replied that it was hysterics, | not wishing to make a confidant of the | detective. He kept his own counsel about Mrs. Botkin questioning him in regard to arsenic poisoning. It was not until after she was convicted that he spoke freely about it. the talesman withdrew. IS SMALL.
