Taunton, Mass., Oct. 10. Jane Top-
pan, tba Lowall nuraa, woo killed a
doaen or mora parsons at various times,
ta m an extremely weak condition t
the Inaane hospital here and her death
la believed to be a question of a very
short time. For a year and a half ahe
has refused to eat, and her weight haa
been reduced from lit pounds to M.
It waa early In 190J that the caaa of
Jane Toppan attracted the attention of
the entire country. In November of the
preceding- year aha had been arrested
at Barnstable on a charge of murder
lac one of her women patlenta. Boon,
however,, the Investigation of the au
thorise led them to believe her guilty
of other murders. If the woman waa
guilty of half the murders of which
ahe waa strongly suspected ahe waa en
titled to a place In criminal annate
rivaling- that of H. H. Holmes, the
Chicago man who waa executed for hla
numerous crimes.
The specific crime for which Was
Toppan waa arrested was the poisoning
of lira. Mary Oibbs at Calumet. Maaa
schusetta. In August, 1901. Indirectly
ahe waa held responsible for the deaths
of three ether residents of Calumet at
about the same time. She also waa
suspected of the murders of some of
her patlenta In Lowell. Chicago and
other places. All of the crimes were
aaid ta have bean committed by the
uae of poison. They were evidently
planned with fiendish subtlety and ex
ecuted with surenees, patience and
without the shadow of remorse. Sus
picion waa finally awakened and bits
of evidence came out by degreea. It
waa shown tbatt all the victims had
passed away auddenly and with the
Hume symptoms of poisoning. The re
mains of Mrs. Qlbba were exhumed and
t races of arsenic found in the atomach.
Suspicion finally pointed so atrongly to
Miss Toppan that ahe waa arrested and
held for trial. At first she took the
situation qulstly, but soon after being
confined in Jail she broke down and be
came a mental and physical wreck. A
medical commission appointed to ex
amine the woman declared her lnaana
and couaeauantly ahe escaped being
tried for any of the 11 deatha alleged
against her. During the four years
ahe haa been confined In the Taunton
asylum her condition haa grown stead
ily worse, and for more than a year aha
haa been unable W leave her bed.

omitting name of some equally worthy
of distinction. On this day of congrat
ulation, Masona of Oregon wUl offer
the tribute of sincere praise and brother
ly commendation to the memory of these
unselfish and devoted men. Gratitude la
also due to the Uvlng. It la fortunate
some of the loyal, devoted band of early
Masons are still able to go up and down
among the brethren. To them the craft
offers assurance of appreciation and
fraternal commendation of their valu
able labors.
"Templar, Maaona of the Royal
Arch. Maater Maaona and lodges and
chapter of the Eastern Star have given
the enterprise enthusiastic support, and
made generous subscriptions to the
stock of the building association. The
importance of th eervlce may b bet
ter understood when It 'is known that
none but Maaona have been solicited or
permitted to subscribe for the stock.
This gsaletanoe and support was timely
and valuable and contributed materially
to ultimate success.
STaStiai of Orand XrfXlge.
The grand lodge wsa organised In
1889. and being then strong neither nu
merically nor financially; now there
ar nearly S.000 Maater Maaona who owe
It obedience, and It waa a majority of
the stock of the buUdlng aaaoclatlon.
It is a source of Just pride that the"
grand lodge of Oregon now comes with
dignity to occupy Its own temple, and
thua assume It proper position among
-he grand Jurisdictions of the world.
There are more than 1,000.000 Maater
Maaona reeident in th United States
and these are subject to the grand
lodges of the several states. With theae
grand lodges and those of foreign coun
tries, whithersoever Maaons are dla
persed. over land and sas, fraternal cor
respondence will be maintained In the
future, a In th past, messages of en
couragement and fraternal counsel will
be exchanged snd vigilant brethren keep
guard that th landmarks be not re
moved or the tradlUone of Maaonry
violated. It ta exceedingly gratifying
ta kno that a capita of, Maaonry
haa been established in thla grand Juris
diction. Th craft will assemble an
nually in thla temple to transact th
business of the stated communications.
Within its walls Masonic hoapltallty
will b constantly practiced In the re
ception and entertainment of visiting
brethren from other grand Jurisdictions.
The" grand chapter of Royal Arch Ma
aona. the grand oommandery Knights
Templar, the grand chapter of the Order
of the Eastern star will use and enjoy
the temple. Theae bodies will In the
exercise of their power and privileges
set in motion wholesome Influences that
will be felt throughout the Masonic
world.
Aueploeo Are Fa I email.
"Situated in a prosperous and-Important
city, protected by the policy and
lawa of a great state. Masona believe
that th , undertaking of building a
temple haa begun under the moat fa
vorable auspices. About it will arise
the beautiful proportions of a powerful
and prosperous city. The old temple
was a Masonic home 40 years. Long
before thla one shall be occupied a simi
lar length of time, the city will count
Its Inhabitants by the hundreds of
thousands. It Is cause for congratula
tion that the craft is to occupy a beau
tiful, symmetrical building, appropri
ate to the character of the institution.
Masons are loyal citizens, and confi
dently believe the state ia entering upon
an era of wonderful development which
will increase Its wealth and population
rapidly.
"Masonry hss grown with th
strength of the state and never waa
more prosperous than It la now. It
will gain numbers rapidly In the future;
its fortunes are Inseparably bound up
with the fata' of city and state; Its
principles are eound and true to th
beat standards of human association
and by It tradition we know the craft
haa always exerted a wise and salutary
Influence upon ita members and so
ciety. Fervent Maaona would commit
temple, city and state to th future,
with the invocation:
" "Peace be within thy walla and pros
perity within thy palacea
For my brethren and companion's snk I
will now say peace be within
thee.' "
The cleverest of lawyers occasionally
find their match when engaged In their
favorite occupation of breaking down
an opponents witness; and this fre
quently occurs In the case of "horsy"
individuals.
The following wordy contest between
a hostler and a counsel ia one bf the
moat amusing specimens of the kind:
t "Now, I aak you, sir. under what
authority you ar prepared ta ewear to
the mere's age?"
"tinder whet authority!"' aaid the
hoetler, Interrogatively
"Tou are ts reply and not repeat the
question put tOWou."
"I don't eonelder a man's bound ta an -ewer
a question afore ha'a time to turn
it in hia mind."
"Nothing can be more simple, air,
than the question put, dad I repeat It.
Under what authority do yon swear to
the animal's agsT"
The beat authority," said th wit
ness, gruffly.
"Then why such an evasion T Why
not stats at oncer'
"Well. then. If you must have It"
"Must! t will have It!" thunllered
the counsel. Interrupting the witness.
'Well. If you muet end will have It,"
rejoined the hoetler, with Imperturba
ble gravity, "why. then. I had it myself

11 Justice and not upon th wrongs
done any individuals.
Theee Indictment I think ar good,
and the demurrers will be overruled in
each of these cas-je."
At th request of Attorney Oeorge F.
Martin, representing a number of In
dicted man. they were allowed until
next Tuesday to plead. Th eats of
th trial will probably be aet at tba
time the pleas of the indicted man are
entered.
This I th third date that has been
set In the oireult court for hearing
th pleas of th 11 men. Th Indict
ments war returned by the grand Jury
la June and the men were arraigned
ahortly afterward. At th time of their
arraignment they war allowed until
July 11 to plead. Before the time for
pleading came they avoided It by filing
motions to quash the lndlctmenta. In
these motions the validity of the grand
Jury waa attacked.
After Judge Fraasr ruled that the
grand Jury was s legal body and de
nted the motions to quaah, he named
September 1 aa the day on which the
accused men should appear to aay
whether they were guilty or not guilty
of the offenses charged. Again th
neceaatty of pleading waa avoided by
filing demurrers attacking th validity
of the lndlctmenta. Theee queatlona
were argued before Judge Sears at
great length, and volumlnoue briefs cit
ing court decision In favor of their
contentions were filed by the attor
neya for the defeadanta and the district
attorney.
By the declelon of Judge Bears this
morning the last technicality available
to delay the trtala waa disposed of, snd
it Is believed th pleas will b entered
next Tuesday. Attorneys for the ac
cused men stated that they would not
stand on the demurrer to appeal to the
supreme oourt
The men under indictment are: b. f.
