"Let one pay my respect to the ma

aald Mrs. Pankhurst, pointing to the
lnrmlirraUon building after the boat had
started. "They are delightful people
Intelligent, sympathetic and kind. No, I
did not have to convert the matrons to

"Ha!" said Mrs. Psnkhurat, with a
triumphant laugh. "Ytrt know who Mrs.
Pankhurst is, but you never heard of

why we have adopted militant measures.
We have made ourselves felt and have

BODY OF EATON IS
EXPERT TESTIMONY!
Prof. Whitney Says Admiral's
Death Was Caused by Fre
quent Doses of Arsenic.
PLYMOITH. Mass., Oct.30.-An at
tempt to determine whether the poison
which killed Hear Admiral Joseph O.
Baton was taken with suicidal Intent
or administered In his food by his wife.
Mrs. Jennie May Baton, was made at
the trial of the widow for murder to
day. I'rof. William F. Whitney of the Har
vard Medical School, who examined thi
vital organs of the Admiral's body, said
that he found a little over sixteen grains
of white arsonlc In powdered form. The
conditions suggested that it tad been
received In several doses, the totter
probably administered a few hours be
fore death. Cross-examined by the de
fense, he said that the condition of the
organs was not, however, inconsistent
Ith the theory that the poison had
been taki u In a large dose.
Prof. Whitney testified that the vital
organs of the Admiral's body ware per
meated with arasnlc. He found a total
of 16.67 grains of the poison.
Keplylng to a hypothetical Question
asked by District-Attorney Barker at
ine suggestion ot Judge Aiken, the wit
ness said that his discoveries would in
dicate that the poison had been taken
In more than one doss. Ths Brat dose
was probably taken within a fsw hour
or ine time tnat suffering began.
THE POISON MUST HAVE BEEN
TAKEN THROUGH MOUTH.
the hypothetical question supposed
that the patient became III on Thursday
snd died Saturday. In the opinion of
the witness indications were (hat the
sick man had received poison six hours
before he died. The Admiral died at I
A. M. on March 1.
The witness said that a large amount
of the poison received by the Admiral
had been thrown off. The body prob
ably had rid itself of several times the
amount that had been retained. The
poison must have been taken through
the mouth, either pure or in some fluid
In order to have reached the stomach
in the powdered form found.
"1 luiind the stoma' n to contain 11?
grains of arsenic, brain .(CS, liver 0H
The lungs contained no arsenic," said
the expert.
I'rof. Whitney said that death was
not caused by arsenic In the form to be
found In the parts green kept In ths
Katun home. He found no trace of
fatty ilegotmrntlon in the organs ex
amlned. which would indicate that
poison was not administered until a
i . r i time before death.
POISON PROBABLY TAKEN IN
MANY DOSES.

Amazing Details of the Evolution of
a M Boss's " Plot to Wreck a
Rebellious Executive.
The New York Evening Mail publishes to-day a copyrighted exclu
sive interview by James Creelman with William Sulzer making sensa
tional charges against Charles F. Murphy. Mr. Sulzer says among
other things:
"Just prior to taking ofBoo as
or oetween Christmas and Now Year's I spent an afternoon with Mr.
Murpby at his request at his private room at Delmonlco'a. His attttodo
wau very friendly and confidential. Ho aald he was my friend; that ho
know of ray financial condition and wished to help me oat As he went am
1 was umasod at bis kuowledgo of my Intimate personal affairs.
To my astonishment bo Informed me that be knew that I was beamy
In debt. Then he offered me money to pay my debts and have enough loft
to take things easy white Oovernor."
"Did be tell you where this money was to come from, OovernorT"
"Ho said that this was roally a party matter and that tho mono ho
would give me was party money; that I had been a popular candidate
easily elected and for Iohs money than any other candidate la his recol
lection. "He said that nobody would know anything aboil III that I could pay
what I owod and go to Albany feeling oasy financially. He then asked
me how much I needod, to whom I owed It, and other personal Questions.
SULZER REFUSES THE OFFER OF MONEY.
"As Ifdtd not want to be Ued hard and fast as Governor In advanoo, I
declined Mr. Murphy's often.
"He repeated bis offer of money, saying that It was for the good of tho
party; that the 'organisation' did not want me to be hampered financially,
and be (Murphy) would allow me whatever I needed above my salary for
my living expenses while I was at the executive mansion.
"But again I refused and then he said: 'If you need money at any time
let me know and you can have what you want We cleaned up a lot ot
money on your campaign. I can afford to let you have what you wast
and never miss It' "
Mr. Suiter told of coming to New York on Feb. 1 and of getting off
at tho One Hundred and Twenty-nftb street station, where Judge McCall
met him and took blni to the McCall home. Mr. Murphy was waiting there.
Mr. Bulser -ontlnued:
"After dluner Mr. Murphy and I discussed matters at considerable
length regarding appointments. Mr. Murphy urged me to appoint his
friend. John Calvin, Public Service Commissioner, in place of Mr. Wlllcox.
whose term had expired.
"I urged the appointment of Henry
Morgenthau or George Foster Poubudy
nr fol John Temple (Vevee. Mr.
Murphy would not hesr of these men.
H talked long and earnestly In behslf
of Mr Oalvtn.
"Finally I suggested as compromise
Judgs McCall. McCall himself said that
he would acoept. provided it was agree
able to Mr Murphy.
"We discussed ths subway question,
the proposed contract and various
other matters The hour ass getting

Mc'.ll was agreeable to Mr Murphy I
