CONVICTION OF MRS. B0TKIN
Punishment Meted Ont for the Crime
of Killing; a Woman with
Poisoned' Candy.
The second trial In San Francisco of Mrs.
Cordelia Rotkln for the murfler of Mra.
John P. Dunning has again resulted In a
verdict of guilty, with tho penalty fixed
by a merciful Jury at imprisonment for
Ufa.
The crime of Mrs. Botkln was an unusual
one, and extraordinary difficulties had to
be overcome by the prosecution. With the
murderess on one Bide of the continent
and the victim on the other, and the agent
of death a box of ordinary candy charged
with poison and accompanied by two
pocket handkerchiefs, transmitted and re
ceived through the regular malls, It re
quired the highest order of professional
Intelligence and unflsgglng Industry to
pick, up and join the links In the chain con
necting the author and the object of the
crime. The late Chief of Police Lees end
his trusted associates were. .however, equal
to the emergency, and established a per
fect chaln-of circumstantial evidence In
the case. Every material point associated
with the purchase of the poison, the candy
and the handkerchiefs, the mailing of the
deadly package and the Identification of
Mrs. Rotkln with them and the handwrit
ing of the address on the package and
the note ,of affectionate greeting It con
tained, waa established by unimpeachable
witnesses. The motive was not wanting.
That waa furnished by John P. Dunning,
through the removal of whose wife Mra.
Botkln hoped to retain permanently the
hold she had obtained on him. Dunning la
entitled to great credit for the moral cour
age he displayed In taking the witness
stand to tell, In the Interest of Justice,
the plain but humiliating atory of his
Illicit relations with the defendant. It
shows that he still possesses some manly
qualities which may yet redeem him In
the eyes of his fellow men. His evidence
was given calmly and Intelligently, carry,
tng In Itself the proof of Its truthfulness.
He was roundly abused for It, of course.
In the address; to the Jury of the counsel
for the defense In the summing up of the
rase. But tho truth of his evidence could
not be broken down by abuse.
The two trials of Mrs. Botkln have coat
the county large aums of money. Moat ol
the witnesses had to be brought here from
the state of Delaware and other remote
parts of the country. But the expense
counts as nothing when It Is realised that
the end of JuMlce hive been subserved.

MORMON MARRIAGES SECRET
Appointee of Pruaident Cleveland Tslli cf
Froiecat'om Under Edmunds Law.
SAYS CHURCH CONTROLS CIVIL AFFAIRS
Alleges There Is Close Connection Be
tween Religions Organisation
and Politics la the
late of Utah.
WASHINGTON, April 21 The first wit
ness today In the Smoot case before the
senate committee on privileges and elec
tions was Judge O. W. Powers, who was
appointed by President Cleveland In 1885 as
an associate Justice of the aupreme court
of Utah. At that time prosecution under
the Edmunds act were Just beginning and
during his incumbenoy he said there had
been about 100 persons prosecuted for polyg
amy and polygamous cohabitation, among
them being Lorenso Snow, then one of the
twelve apostles who afterward was elected
president of the church. Mr. Snow was
convicted gnd sentenced.
Judge Powera aaid he had examined per
sons whp applied for naturalisation. In re
gard to an application by one Nell Hansen,
Judge Powers said he waa Informed by
Hansen that he would obey the laws of the
church rather than laws of the land lf they
should "run counter to each other." The
application for oltlsenahlp waa denied.
In regard to prosecutions Judge Powera
said that most of them had been for polyga
mous cohabitation. Few prosecutions were
had for polygamy, he aald, as there waa
then no marriage law and marriages were
secret and polygamy therefore waa hard to
pi ova.
Judge Powera reviewed the political his
tory of Utah to show the close relations of
the Mormon church with political affairs,
also the intimate association of the church
with the local and municipal government.
He showed that the church controlled In
civil as well aa ecclesiastical affairs. In
one case It waa shown that a man waa dis
ciplined and waa summoned by Abraham O.
Smoot, prealdent of the high council of the
Utah state of Zlon. It waa not shown that
any relationship existed between Senator
Smoot and the man mentioned.
motor that la only twenty-eight Inches
wide, forty Inches long and forty-one
Inches high. It develops a borae power of
about sixty-five.
The propellers which drive the fast At
lantic liners are about forty-eight feet
In circumference. The tip of the blade will
cover about a mile and a fifth each minute
when revolving at full speed.
The cruiser Minneapolis, which la one
of the fastest In the navy, haa propellers
forty-eight feet In circumference. They
make 182 revolutions a minute, so that the
tip of the blade when driven at full speed
Is traveling at the rate of (.836 feet each
minute, and the hellcold path, or the dis
tance covered by the spiral twist of the
blade. Is 8,870 feet a minute, or more than a
mile and a half.
Tbe Minneapolis and the ocean liners are
driven by steam, but In the fast auto boats
gasoline la the motive power.
It can be understood to what a nicety
the mechanism In a gasoline engine Is ad
justed when It Is stated that to make 1,050
revolutfone a minute means that In a four
cycle engine there are 600 sprays of gaso
line forced Into the cylinder, 600 times the
electric battery makes a spark and 500
times the escape valve 1 opened to let the
gas out.
If there are four cylinders at work on the
Same shaft, snd many of the fast boats
have four cylinders, then each operation
Is repeated four times. Borne motors have
eight cylinders snd one Is now being built
that will have twelve cylinders. It le fig
ured that a motor uaea a pint of gasoline
for each horse-power an hour. An eight
horse-power motor will use a gallon of
gasoline an hour and will cost about 18 or
IT rents an hour to run. A twenty-four
horse-power motor will take three gallons
an hour, which will make the cost about
60 cents an hour.
There Is a motor boat now being built
that Is to have a (00 horse-power motor.
This motor will consume about sixty gal
lons of gasollns en hour, and lf run for ten
hours a day will cost more than tW a day.
