SELINA DOWLING UNDER
CROSS EXAMINATION.
Detf+mined to get at the bottom
of the poisoning of the aged Indian
woman, Mary Dewar, Asst. U. S. At
torney FYilsom is submitting Sal in a
Ivwling to a searching cross-examin
ation this afternoon in the federal
court. The girl finished h^r direct
examination a' noon. She denied
he. admissions of poisoning her
n.cther. and completely changed her
story regarding the attempted pur
chase of "kill-em-quick" from a local
diug store. The girl first informed
'he officers her father offered her
twenty dollars to get the drug. Now
she claims Harris,* native boy sus
gavt her fifty cents to g<>t the
poison at Juneau, saying he intended
t use the same on a hunting trip
The feeling prevails at the court
bouse that Harris is at the bottom of
th?. poisoning, and it is possible be
fore the day closes conclusive proof
w'll be in the hands of the court of
ficials. If this proves true, it is
probabie the girl will be discharged,
and used as a witness to convict the
guilty party of murder, notwithstand
ing she is accessory to the murder.
If this evidem* does not come to
light the case will probably be in the
hands of the jury late tonight. ? Ju
