Dayton, O. (Special).—Mrs. Mary Belle Witwer. the alleged murderer of 14 persons, retains a stoicism which amazes the authorities and quite disconcerts her attorney. She has maintained her composure from the beginning. Only once has she given way to tears, and that was when visited by her stepson, whose father. Frank D. Witwer, her fifth and last husband, is said to have died^from poison which she administered. Young Witwer offered to bring the prisoner any delicacies she might wish, and reminded her that she had always been a kind

mother to him.

Aside from this the woman has kept up an indifferent attitude under all circumstances. Police interviews have failed to make the slightest impression upon her. and she has daily reiterated her statements with reference to crimes attributed to her and reasserted her innocence. Several attempts to entrap the prisoner have failed, and it is apparent that she will make a good defense. Evidence against Mrs. Wjtwer is purely circumstantial. She is directly charged with the murder of her sister. Mrs. Anna C. Pugh, a professional nurse, who lived with Mrs. Witwer in this city. Mrs. Witwer lost four husbands, and all died rather suddenly and under peculiar circumstances. In the wholesale charges informally made by the authorities she has been accused of causing the death of all. in addition to those of several children, making a total of 14 deaths. There is no expectation that more than one crime can be fastened upon , the woman, if. indeed, the authorities will succeed in that. She is an adept in holding her own in trying situations. When arraigned on the charge of administering arsenic to her sister she merely shook her head when the word "tmMder" was pronounced, and at the conclusion of the reading of the affidavit by the

Father Czandinski visited Czolgosz Tuesday. The interview between priest and prisoner proved unsatisfactory to both. It took place in the condemned man's cell, and the conversation wa* carried on in Polish. During the interview Czolgosz said that he had been baptized in the Roman Catholic faith in the Polish Church in Detroit. He had abandoned the Church early in life and had lost all faith in its teachings. Father Czandinski urged him so renounce his belief in anarchy and return to the faith

of his early years.

Czolgosz declared his inability to do so. and he was informed that unless he could the consolation of the Church

would be denied him.

The flames, which were fanned by a 45-mile gale, swept through the principal basinets portions of the town, causing ruin and devastation. Four blocks of the finest business buildings are in ashes. The only thing that saved the city from total destruction was a heavy rainstorm, which set in after dark, and as the wind decreased in fnry, the firemen and hundreds of miner* succeeded in getting the fire under control. Over 60 buildings are in ashes and many more are badly scorched.
