poisoning ease on trial in oyer andter-
miner 1, the center of attraction to curios-
i. 'i'i, .,..t.i.i..
Ity seekers. The remnrkalilu story of the
crimes commlttetl by Henry V. V. Meyer
mill Ills accomplices told by the proseout
iiiK attorniy yesterday, which lie saya
will be fully substantiated by living wit
nesses, one of whom had participated in
tho crimes, drew a more than usually In
telligent audlenoe to the court room.
Carl Muller, the state's (link witness,
was cool and collected, and told his story
in a very matter of fact way, as if there
was nothing extraordinary in the case, ex
hibiting a turpitude in his own part only
equaled by that of the accused, who
calmly took notes of tho testimony all day
lone.
Tho witness testified that his real namo
was Curl Kierfel, and that he had passed
under the names of Carl Muller, August
Wimmers and Otto C. Stone; that he wnB
34 years old, and was a school teacher in
Germany before he came to America in
1887. He had mndu a livlnu; in this country
as a bartender, milkman's nent and
engemaker, and had also played tho piano
in a disorderly .house, lie was sent to tho
Jollet prison in ISM) for using the United
States mails for illegal purposes. Whllo
in the Cook county jail awaiting transfer
to .Toilet he met Dr. Meyer and Peter C
rnrker, whom he afterward knew as l.ud
wig llriindt.
"What conversation did you have witli
Dr. Meyerf asked Mr. Molntyre.
"He askexl me what 1 was in jail for. I
toldliini. lie said there was not enough
money in that. He said lie would put me
on a scnenio Dy which 1 could make thou
sands; that we could swindle life Insur
ance companies out of thousands. I was
taken to Joliet prison June ;!0, 1890, and
served ten months and nitio days. Dr.
Meyer was discharged. I got out May 3!),
1SU1, and went back to Chicago, where
Dr. Meyer was practicing niedicinu."
Meyer's VillnlnoiiH 1'rnpoiul.
TVitness then related the details of tho
arrangements to defraud insurance com
panies. The llrst case determined on was
to insure Ilrandt, who had been a fellow-
prisoner with them, in the name of Gus
tavo Damn. The latter was not one of
the parties to the fraud, but was confined
in prison at Cincinnati. Tho insuranco
was effected in four companies for JK.fiOO,
the beneficiary to bo "Mrs. Amelia Damn."
Mrs. Damn was Mrs. Dr. Meyer, the
woman now in court. Drandt had per
sonated Uaum before the medical exnm
biers of tho insurance companies. That
was in January, 1802.
The witness related that before that
date, and in mder to make the fraud com
plete, Dr. Meyer had gone over to Ger
many to find out all about Damn's family
and history, so that there could he no dif
ficulty should there be any question of
identity raised Dy tho companies when
called on topay theaniountot tlicpolicies.
The atory of the marriage of Mrs. Meyer
to Brandt in the name of Damn was told,
and of their coming to Xow York lu order
to carry out the scheme. ,
They hired a flat on Kast Thirteenth
street, the witness being known as Aug
ust "Whinners and Drandt as August;
Daum. Drandt wrote a slip for the letter
box iind'-r the bell pull at the entrance of
the building. He wrote on tho slip
"Haunt." He wrote letters and signed
them Daum. These letters were addressed
to the Insurance companies In which tho
policies ere drawn to notify them that
"Gustav M. A. J. Daum" had removed
from Chicago to New York. Soon after
ward Dr. Meyer and his wife took up their
resilience at the Hat, Mrs. Meyer being
known as Mrs. Daum.
Looking: fur a Sick Jlan.
"Xow wo must find a sick man," said
.Meyer, and the witness detailed the ef-1
forts to get some sick man whom they!
could take to their Hat, pnt him in the'
place of Drandt, have him die there and
be buried In the name of Gustav Daum.
In this they failed after more than ono
attempt. "We went back to tho Hat,"
continued the witness. "Drandt said he
was tired of being a sick man. 1 told the !
llnctnr tin, Hrlwmi ti'mit.l ,if I
that we had better go back to Chicago.
Mrs. Meyer refused to go, and threw her
self on the bed and cried about it. Jlrandt
and the doctor tried to get her to go back,
but she would not do it. Wlnfti she cried
Drandt said that he would get sick."
Drandt first took a dose of salts, hut
this did not have the desired effect, ami'
Dr. Meyer suggested croton oil. Dr. i
Meyer wrote a prescription for croton oil,
and purchased it himself, signing the nre-
ncription "Otto C. Stein. M. D." Liberal .
doses of croton oil produced the desired
lfect on Drandt, and when Dr. Minden, '
of St. Mark's place, was called in on i
March 0 lie was easily deceived hy the
woman, who posed as the wile of the sick .
man, and by the symptoms displayed by
Drandt, into diagnosing his case as one of ,
ohronic dysentary. J
Then Meyer, finding it impossible!
through the red tape of the coroner s of-1
lice Ui get a body from the morgue to an-.
swer his uu; -e. decided that his co-cou-'
spirator Drandt must die.
The. scheme was working admirably.
"Daum" was entered as a regular patient
oil Dr. Mfmleu's books and Drandt was on ,
the high road to death. Dr. Meyer was 1
always out when Dr. Minden called.
As soon as Dr. Minden had charge of the '
ease the direct poisoning began, and wit
ness began to tell how Dr.Moyer sprinkled
antimony over every meal he prepared for
the sick man. As this did not kill him,
arsenic was used, which Muller procured
on prescriptions written by Dr. Meyer.
Dr. Minden called twice or three times
a day, forty-eight visits altogether, and on
March HO issued a certillcute saying that
the patient Damn had died that day of
chronic dysentary.
",Mr. llaumV Assumed Sorrow.
Next day M rs. Meyer notified tho Insur
ance companies, ami put in bur claim for
the Insurance on her husband's life. Mul
lar signed tho name "August Wiminers"
as a friend, and Mrs. Meyer signed "Amtt
Hit IlAiini" as th claiinjuit.
Brandt wus buried April D, Mr. Meyer
and Muller attending the funeral as
mourners. Dr. Meyar kept out of night.
Alter the funeral they all moved out of
Ui Thirteenth street ttatloto furnished
rooms.
April 4 Mm. Meyer went t the inr
iiuoe oltlotw to claim her inurce. Br.
; Meyer and Muller accompanied her, and
Hie told lh notary with becoming tears,
"Mr. Halt in was n good husband to mo a

She was dressed In the deepest mourn
Ina for tho occasion, and got ?3,000 from
the Washington Life and tl,(MO from tho
MUm, but when she visited the New York
and tho Mutual she found herself tho
subject of suspicion, mid she and Dr.
Meyer left ns soon tin possible for Chicago.
Dr. Meyer gave $r.50 of the money to
Muller, telling him he hnd no further use
for him, nnd advising him to go back to
Klilcngti. Muller said he went to ClitcnKo
Ml April 7. Two weeks later he was jollied

The witness further tostlfled to receiv

for revealing Meyer s wlierealmuts, and
of Ills being brnuglit to Xow York on a
promise of Immunity for himself If he
told the whole truth.
Drs. Dyman K. Ware and John II.

and the court adjourned until Monday.
BANKRUPTCY BILL DEFEATED.
Tito Monte Shelves the Mcnim-v by n
Viiln or Ids to 111.
"Wasihmiiox, Dec. !). Tho Torroy bank
ruptcy bill was strangled by the house
unexpectedly yesterday Just as tho con
sideration of the bill under the five mbi
uto rule was about to begin. Colonel
Oates, the champion of the measure, had
declined to permit the house to vote on
his substitution providing simply for a
voluntary syst"in of bankruptcy, where
upon Mr. Dland. of Missouri, precipitated
the entire question by moving to strike
out the existing clnuse of the bill. Vainly
the advocates il the measure protested
that It was unfair to tvject the bill before
the house had a chance to perfect it by
anienunieiit. i heir pleadings wore nil
availing. The vote as decisive. It was
carried by a majority of 142 to 111. An
.analysis shows that 1 1.1 Democrats, 18 Re
publicans and t) Populists voted to
strikeout the dialling clause, and that
dl Depublicaus and 41 Democrats voted
against it.
An attempt to drive tho bill for tbe ad
mission of Utah .hm a state through the
house was ileleatiM by a determined fili
buster led by Mr. Diiiirluy (Me.) and sup
ported by almiHt the entire Kenublican
Bide. The course of the Hepublicans fore

VAglllMilox. Dee. II.-The Itnprewlon
unions; leaillnK Democrats In congreei i
that Mr. Clevelntitl is koIhk to take a back
track In the Hawaiian affair, anil tliat his
object In dispatching a special niesaeiiKer
on the revenue cutter Convln to Honolulu
was to countermand his instructions to
Minister Willis If It should not be too late.
It Is known here that Minister Thurs
ton, Itninodlntely after ha had rend Secre
tary Greslinm s letter to tho president,
sent word to President Dole oxhortltiK
him toHtnnil linn and to yield to nothing
but actual force. This proves to have
been President Dole's nttlttulo before ho
bad heard from Minister Thurston.
Friends of the provisional government
feel confident that ho has been (Irmly en
trenched In his determination by what ho
has heard from Minister Thurston, and in
view of tho latest developments as to the
administration's policy It seems alto
gether unlikely that tho provisional gov
ernment hns been disturbed in its hold on
tho llawniian government. In view of
thonuthorltativestatemenlth.it the ad
ministration has no intention of using
forco it may be concluded that tho
chances that the queen will yot be re
stored nre atnall.
It Is likely to bo several days before the
whole history of the Hawaiian nintter is
laid before the senate. Tho exhibit to he
offered to the senate will bo complete.
llefore leaving Washington Minister
Thurston told some of the friends of the
provisional government that a plan of ac
tion had been agreed upon by thatgovcrn-
ment, nnd would be carried out. lhepro
visional government has 1,100 men under
arms who are ready to respond at the sig
nal of the bell. The pn . moiiiiI govern
ment will remnln until us members aro
arrested and taken out. It will resist in
terference by any other than the armed
forco of the United States. It will not al
low the supporters of the queon to enter
tho palnco or disturb tlio peace of Hono
lulu, His also positively asserted that
Mr, Thurston is going to Honolulu.
SAN FllAsnwo, Deo. 0. The schooner
Transit, from Honolulu Nov. It), brings
these advices from the Associated Press
correspondent:
During the. afternoon the Alameda
sailed Minister Willis mado a, statement,
virtually as- already published, that noth
ing dellnlte would be donu here until he
had received a reply to dispatches sent to
Washington by thu Alaineila. This state
ment was published in The Star. Yester
day The Hiilletin published a letter from
Minister Willis, in which he said ho
wished hi? remarks lu Thu Star to apply
to tne enure press or Honolulu.
Tho stand taken by Minister Willis in
bis interview with Thu Star, which was
revised in proor by him before publication,
caused considerable nnxiety in govern
ment circles, owing to the intimation that
any breacli of the peace would l)u pun
IsheJl by tho American minister.
On the morning of the 17th, the day af
ter the Alameda left. President Dole
cnlled upon Minister Willis to learn how
far the authority of the I'nited States was
expected to he carried In case of an emer
gency. I'pon bis return it was learned
that the provisional government was fully
satisfied with the explanation and limita
tions mado by Minister Willis. It is the
general opinion that tho original language
used by the United States minister con
veyed more than ho intended it should.
It is understood that Pn . nt Dole very
clearly inluriued the mii.--.er that tho
provisional government commanded tho
situation mid vwmlil reqniro no aid from
the United States unless it was called for.
The president assured tho minister that
any nreacli or the peace which might oc
cur would be speedily dealt with by the
Hawaiian government. Tho provisional
government received assurances on the
points mentioned, which were perfectly
Ntiisiai-iiiry. it is unuerstooii t nit At ii u.
ter Willis said he would stand back of tho
present government until the present dif
ficulty was settled.
The tension in political matters since
the departuie of the Alameda has only
partially relaxed. Minister Willisstated
he mndu the public statement that "noth
ing would bu done" to ease matters down,
as he believed a crisis was approaching.
His remedy worked for a lew hours, but
it now appears he has divulged just enough
to stimulate speculation, and both sides
interpret his explanation favorably, which
in the end will doubtless add fuel to the
political lire.
The theory of restoration will not be be
lieved here until the last moment. Slionld
It then prove true serious trouble will
likely follow . This much is admitted by
the clearest heads on both sides.
From a source almost in touch with the
American legation it is learned that the
contingency which has caused delay in
Hawaiian affairs until Waahinuton is
heard from is the fact that the provisional I
government and resident Americana
would openly resist either compromise or
restoration. In conversation with the
Associated Press reporter yesterday Min
ister Willis said he was eoufldeut that
leguiauou favorable to the Huii-,
plans would shortly take place iu the
unueu atates.

Its success has been so 5
phenomenal that nuincr- 3
ous imitations are now 5g
being offered which arc T.
claimed to be, "just as

Imitations
lack the intrinsic merit of 5
Cottolene and will prove 5
disappointing and disa- 2
greeablc to those who use 5
them. These counterfeits
differ widely from Cotto- z

offered to take the place
of Cottolene.
