San Francisco, Dec. 17 The defense In the llotkln murder trial yesterday received the worst netliack It has ex perienced Blnce the cose opened, Tho evidence of two witnesses examined was of such a convincing nature that the chnRiln caused by Its Introduction was plainly written upon the faces of the accused woman and her counsel. The evidence clearly showed that Mrs. Rotklu wrote the anonymous letters sent to Mrs. Dunning from this city apprising Mrs. Dunning of the alleged misconduct of her husband, and In forming the dead woman that she had grounds for commencing a suit for di vorce. The handkerchief which was enclosed In the box of poisoned candy was proven to have been pu'ehased In this city by Mrs. Dotkln, uAitlier link In the chain of the prosecution. The first Important witness was Mrs. Grace Harris, who was employed In the City of Paris dry goods store during May nnd June Of this year. Mrs. Har ris told of Hie purchase of the hand kerchief, Identllled the article "which she sold and stntrd positively that Mrs. liotkin was the purchaser. She was cer tain of the woman for the reason that Mrs. Botkln so resembled Mrs. Harris' own mother that the similarity caused her to wonder. She was certain of the handkerclef because It bore a price mark which she herself had stamped on the article. Cross examination rather strengthened her evidence than otherwise, as It brought out the fact that Mrs. Harris took Mrs. Botkln'3 address, which the purchaser gave as the Victoria hotel, where she resided up to the time of her arrest. Mrs. Itouff, an aged woman and a resident of Stockton, Cal., told of her acquaintance with thi defendant, which was that of an Intimate friend. She alo knew Dunning very well. Mrs. Itouff said that on one occasion she called on Mrs. Botkln at her rooms and the defendant showed her a hand kerchief, asking her If It was not a beautiful one for the price. Mrs. Itouff recognized the handkerchief sent to Mrs. Dunnlng's daughter as being ex actly like the one Mrs. Botkln showed her. The witness then Identified Mrs. Botkln's handwriting In the anonymous letter sent to Mrs. Dunning. Mrs. Rouft was familiar with Mrs. Botkln's writing nnd pointed out Its peculiari ties. When shown the note that was enclosed in the box of candy Mrs. Itouff stated that she believed lt to have been written by Mrs. Botkln. She discussed the samples of writing shown her with the ability of an expert. She recog nized the language of the letters as that of Mrs. Botkln. Witness told of a conversation she had with the defend ant on the different poisons and their qualifications for killing mice. Later Mrs. Botkln was taken sick, and while under treatment discussed poisons with her physicians. She thought the action of strychnine too harsh and spoke of arsenic of being mild in Its action, and seemed well Informed upon Its other symptoms. Mrs. Itouff told of another visit of Mrs. Botkln to her Stockton home. It was made shortly after the perpetra. tlon of the crime. Mrs. Botkln was greatly excited and talked about pot sons, anonymous letters, and made other remrirks that puzzled Mrs. Rouft On one occasion Airs, Botkln talked to the wltnpss nbout blenching hats, and remarked that 'she had heard that arsenic was used for that purpose. I Defendant became agitated when In formed by Mrs, Bouff that she would have to give her name when Bite pur chased the poison, Upon cross exam ination Mrs. Itouff Intimated that she thought Mrs. Botkln's Illness at the time she asked so many questions of the doctors about poisons was a Bham. She stated that at the time Mrs. Bot kln visited her, after the crime had been committed, she felt certain of Mrs. Botkln's guilt In the matter, but ex plained her sympathy for her and her care of her during her brief Illness as being Impelled by a Christian spirit.

The inno cence or guilt of United States Senator Klchard H. Kcnney, of Delaware, charged with conspiracy and aiding and abetting In the misapplication of funds of the First National bank, of Dover, was given to the Jury to decide ut G:30 o'clock last night, after a trial lasting H davs. Judge Bradford charged the Jury for over two hours, and the opinion was generally express ed that lt was against the defendant. This Is the second time Mr. Kenney has been on trial as a result of the defalcation of $107,000 of tho bank's money by Its teller, William N. Bogg3. On the former occasion, In July last, the , Jury disagreed. Now, as then, the prln- clpal witness against him was Hoggs. Seldom, If ever, have the courts of Del aware In a criminal case witnessed such a legal battle as has been waged In the trial Just ended. District At torney Vnndegrlft, young, forceful and eloquent, on the one side, and on the other Levi C. Illrd, the leading criminal lawyer of the state, and ex-Attorney General Iliggs, a son of ex-Governor Biggs, of Delaware, and a lawyer of large attainments. Interest in the proceedings has been Intense from start to flnlsh, and citi zens from nil parts of the state have been constantly In attendance. Senator Kenney has borne the ordeal with much fortitude, although during the district attorney's scathing arraign ment of him yesterday he seemed to wince and weaken. In concluding the district attorney referred to Mr. Ken ney as a senator, nnd urged the Jury by Its verdict of guilty to drive him from that body. "Drive him," he con tinued, "from the temple of the Integ rity of the stnte, for he has no business there. Upon the evidence he Is guilty. If you want to walk abroad among the people nnd hear them say you have done your sworn duty, you will find this defendant, this United States sen ator, who has so defamed and dishon ored his state, guilty of the crime charged against him." Judge Bradford, In his charge, re viewed the law and explained its mean ing to the Jury, especially as to Intent. Referring to Hoggs' testimony and the bank's books, and that Hoggs' credi bility rested with the Jury he said: "It would be very far from your duty If, disregarding what may seem to you natural and Inherently truthful testi mony given by him, you should permit yourself to be carried away by fierce denunciation, by heated language and by excited and unwarranted epithets applied to him. On the contrary, his testimony should be carefully considered, scanned and weighed. It is proper to call your attention to the fact that ho has been supported In statements made by him on the wit ness stand, not only by documentary evidence, but by the testimony of wit nesses on matters material to the case." He revised the relations existing be tween Hoggs and Kenney as Indicated by the testimony, and went over Ken ney's story denying the charges. As to the latter he said: "His testimony Is before you, and you must determine how far lt Is credible. The deep per sonal Interest he has In the result of this case should be considered by you In weighing his evidence and In de termining how far and to what ex tent, If at all, it Is worthy of credit Where a witness has a direct personal Interest In the result of a case the temptation Is strong to color, pervert or withhold the facts." After further caution to give the prisoner the benefit of any reasonable doubt, but first to be sure it was a doubt born of reason, the Judge finished and the Jury retired. A verdict is not expec ted before late today, or possibly before Monday. Unit Iiiiiire-Hrocikl.vn (iulis Combine New Tork, Dec. 17.
