JANE TOPPAN IS BREAKING DOWN.
Hearing of the Accused Nurse Postponed Two Weeks Another Suspi
cious Case Is to be Investigated.
Barnstable, Mass., Nov. 6. Is Jano
Toppan a murderess?
Is Jane Toppan a modern Lucretla
Borgia, slaying with invidious poison
those that trusted her, or is she the
hapless victim of a train of accldeuls,
the strangest and most weird that
ever befell mortal woman.
Miss Toppan is a trained nuiso, and
for more than a decade has come
and gone lu Cape Cod homes in times
of sickness. Sho is a middle-aged
woman, stout and Jolly, with a genial
smile and a friendly manner that
made fi lends for her on every side.
But now It is alleged that where
ever she went sudden and unexpected
death went also. Suspicion wu
aroused, and when in the bilef space
of six weeks au entlie family, whom
sho attended, all died suddenly and
mysteriously, tho shadow of sus
picion deepeued into the black charge
of niuider, under which MJss Top
pan now rests.
For two months sho has been fol
lowed and shadowed by detectives,
and as a lesult of their investigations
she was attested and biought to the
Jail.
Innocent or guilty, she has display
ed the most lemaikablo nerve. When
sho was auested sho mcicly remark
ed that sho was uot suipilsed, ana
follow ed tho oillcers with pel feet sang
fiold. When sho was taken fiom tho
red-w ailed Jail acioss to the quaint,
giay stone Couit House to listen to
the chaige against her, she was equal
ly unmoved and pleaded "not guilty"
In an unfaltering voice.
Peiioually Bhe Is rather a good look
ing woman, lather stout of figure,
with 'a dusky skin that looks as If it
might betiay u stiain of Portuguese
blood aud with dead black hair ana
eyes. She was neatly dressed In a
black hat tiimmed with chlffoa and
was altogether Uifr capable, cheery,
helpful looking womau ouo would lu
stlucthely thiuk of, as being tho
guardian angol of a sick room, not ouo
who uses her sacred calling 63 a
cloak to do uiurdw.

correspondents In Cuba In his book
on tho Spanish-American war, the
matter Is cousldeied a closed Inci

Notwithstanding a denial by Gen.
Dick In Columbus Wednesday night
that he will be a candidate for Gov

proofs of his sanity.
FIe alienists nnd a dozen pcisonai

fiom both tho professional and lay
man point of view, and Judgo White
