    HELD FOR MURDER
A FORMER PORTLAND WO
" MAN SUSPECTED OF POIS
ONING HER HUSBAND.
Husband and Wife Had Quarreled
Recently Because of the Atten
tions Paid Her by a La
borer Other News.
' San Frsncisco, Aog. 29 Mrs.
Martin Bowers and her sister, Mrs.
Z. C. Sutton, lormerly of Ponland,
Or., are being held by the to' ice of
this city in connection with the
death of Mrs. Bowers' husband, who
died on Tuesday ' last,' apparently
from arsenical poison. It is alleged
that after tbe death of her husband
Mrs. Bowers withdrew several
thousand dollars from the bank
. and deposited it in another oncern
, in hi r own name, and that Mrs.
Bowers and her busbar.d had quar
reled recently becau?e of the atten
tions paid by a laborer to the wo
man. At the coroner's inquest a drug
clerk testified that six days prior to
the death of Bowers, Mrs. Su'ton
presented a prescription calling for
arsenic. Dr. McLaughl n, whose
name was attached to the prescrip
tion, denied having given such a.
prescription, and a writing expert
give it as his opinion that the pre
scription was Titten by Mrs. Bow
ers. Sh admitted haviDg purchs
ftd medicine, but denied that it was
arsenic. Mrs. Cowers, in a state
znent, admitted drawing the money
from tbe bank, but added:
"I aminno 'ent. I know noth
ing of any arsenic. I did not write
that prescription."
Bowers was Mrs. Bowers third
husband. He was a bridge builder
and a carppnter.
Today's developments in this sto
ry of crime have placed the siter
in a more serious position. Cir
cumstantial evidence is becoming
fo strong that it will be impos ible,
in the opinion of tre policp, for the
women to obtain their liberty with
out the formality of a trial. -
A note book was among the ef
ff cts f)und in Mr. Bowers' room to-day.
In a torn page of this note
Book the paper on which tbe pre
scription fr arsenic was written, it
js said, fitted perf ctly. ; ; r
This fled is lo ktd upon by the
police to be the culminating link in
the chain of evidence woven about
the woman. ; ' -s .
Bowers died on Tuesday af er
noon, after an illness of five weeks.
A few hours before his ; death he
vsas taken by Alta Lodge, I. O. O
i., sgnst the wishes of his wife,
to the German hospital. His death
at -nce aroused suspicion, and Har
ry Bowers, a brother of the dead
jnan, eh.rel that he had been
pouctted. Hie statement- we a in
part corroborated on the following
day by the city chemist, who found
enough arsenic in the dead man's
stomach to have killed tdx men,
and now comes the forge pretenp
h'on and the identification of Mr?.
Sutton as the woman for wh.m the
drug clerk filled it.
Mrs S itton who conducts a lodg
ing hoaoe at 154 Eddy street, was
taken into custody yesterday morn
ing by Detective Thomas L. Ryan,
after he secured the pre-cript'oa
Uvea the drugstore conducted by J.
Askenasky, at 3OI Fifth street. G.
S. Paterfoi, the cltrk who filled it,
was requested to go to the-city pris
on, and be; remained there until
Mrs. Sutton arrived, with" Mrc.
Bowers, the dead man's wife; Mrs.
Harry Biwers and Mrs. Suttoo in
line, he was asked to point out the
woman who had purchased the
poison.
'That is the woman," he said
without hesitancy, as he indicated
Mrs. Sut 00. Tbe woman gasped
at the' unexpected charge, but soon
recovered her composure and eouaht
to minimize the enact of tbe
identification by making light of it.
' Mrs Sutton is a tall comely wo
man, a trifle slender than her sis
sister, but of much the same appear
nw , When taken to the nriaon
she was dressed in mourning. A
heavy black veil concealed her fea
tures, but as she became excited
she cast it aside.
Mrs Sutton was reared in Port-
- land, Or., where she married her
- present husband. He divides his I
time between the stage and the bar.
jPart of this time 1 he is employed as
a vocalist and at other times as a
barkeeper . She states that they
have not lived together for several
years, and that.Bbe does not know
r his present whereabouts.
- Mrs. Elizabeth Byers, of 435
East Burnside, Portland, Or., is
' mother of Mis. ,Z. C. Sutton and
; Mrs. Bowers, held for the murder
of Bowers. Mrs. Byers' husband
died some time ago, leaving some
money to his family. ,

Mrs. Dewey's Experience.
She Was Cured With Electricity
After All Other Methods
Had Failed.
Uoseen forces are more powerful
toan seen o-:ej. Electricity per
forms cures silently but sunly. To
thin many thousands that have been
cured can testify. Many who know
uothing of it oppose it: but truth
always meets with fierce opposition;
which in the end only hastens the
victory. We do 1 ot profess : to un
derstand this uneeen power, but
joyfully accept tbe great boon of
health, feeling that Dr. Darrin is
ahead of the age, and is showing to
the world this new method of cure.
As an example we append Mrs.
Dewey's card:
To the public: I was a patient
under Dr. Damn's care eight years
ago, and wish to relate my experi
ence, that others may benefit by it.
For many long years I had been
afflicted with d seases peculiar to
my sex, accomp?n:ed with pain in
my chest, heart and stomach. I
had lost fi sh until my weight was
105 pounds. After a few months
of electrical treatment by Dr. Dar
rin, I recovered my health and
gained 40 pounds, and. am now en
joying good health.
F. E. Dewey,
386 Davis S reet, Portland.
To tbe Editor: After reading
and bearing of so many cures by
Dr. Darrin, I concluded to try him
for deafness in one ear, tnough
I had little faith in bis mode of
treatment by electricity. On my
way to his office I could not hear
the noiselof tbe street car or wagons
tolling over the stone pavements.
After treatment I am able to hear
without difficulty the church ser
vice, the ticking of a watch or a pin
drop, and all sounds of life. I
wish you to publish this, as it may
give others courage to have the new
treatment. I consider the cure lit
tle short of a miracle. My address
is 394 Morris street, Upper Albina,
Or. Adolph Wunder.
MR. SELFERT'S TESTIMONY.
To the Editor: - Nine years ago I
was taken iil, with dyspepsia, liver
acd kidney complaints, pain in my
side and eye trouble. All remedies
s'em to fail until I went under Dr.
Darrin'e treatment last Jane.v Now
I am happy to say I am rapidly re
cove; in g good health and my wife
is on the rosd to recovery, being
afflicted similar to myself. Refer
your readers to me at King's Val
ley, Benton county. Or. I endorse
Dr. Darrin. .H. Selfert.

ONE BANDIT CAUGHT.
GANG THAT WAS TO HOLD
UP THE GREAT NORTHERN.
Frank Baker Did Not See Them Go,
and is .Captured on tbe Train
by Stock Inspector Hall, who ;
Knew Him.
BUTTE Mont , Aug. 3o A Min
er special from Havre says:
Stock Inspector Georgj W. Hall
captured Frank Baker, one of the
Curry gang, who had, it is alleged,
planned to bold up the west-bound
Oyer at Malta this morning, and
would have captured the other two
members of the gang had not tbe
eight of the numerous Pinkerton
detectives fleshed the game.
The company had positive infor
mation that the hold-up would
occur, near Wagner, where the
famous hold-up of two years ago
occurred. Hall spotted his three
men at Malta and boarded the train
at the same time the outlaws did
One man boarded tbe blind bag'
gage, another climbed onto the rear
end and a third walked into the
day coach and took a seat.
As the east and west bound trains
met at Ml a, ;be east bound pull
ed in just as the west bound train
puled but. Immediately a dozen
detectives and special service, men
armed with Winchesters jumped off
the incoming train, and part of
them made for the expiess car and
climbed in. . ' .."
The robber on the rear end saw
them, swung off ih rear jbowco. ran
up to the front of the iria, told
his accomplice the game "was off,
nd tbeyJtoth made their escape.
Hall had in the meantime cached
himself in one of the closets of tbe
coach where the third robber was
sitting, being fearful that Baker
would recognize him. a
The outlaw did not see his pals
leave the train and was arrested in
tbe car. Jiaker is a cowboy, and it
is said, has been arrested several
times for horse Stealing. Baker's
identity as one of tbe robbers has
been positively established, it is al
leged, by the contents of a sotchel
found by Hall.' '
