DORA POULSON'S TESTIMONY IN THE WE IB CASE. ItEPKATEI) A CONVERSATION SHE HAD WITH WEIR. Bitter Feeling Between Past and Present Proaecutors. Cassopolis, January 30. (Special.) The W'elr murder trial has been progressing the past few days, but nothing Of very great importance, until to-day, has developed.

Sheriff Hadsell testified as to the ownership of a passbook belonging to Weir in which was a clipping from a local paper containing the verdict of a coroner's jury about a year ago, when a hired man of Vv. G. A. Hughes was found dead in the doctor's office. The jury's verdict was that he came to his death from taking chloral hydrate.

Besides the clipping Weir had the name of the poisonous drug written in the book. Mrs. Dora Poulsun, the woman with whom Weir had corresponded, was on the witness stand. She testified as to their intimate relations and told of one conversation she and Weir had here on election night, November i 1902. She had been telling him of her plan to go west in the spring, and he said to her: "No, by next spring you will be cooking for me, be my wife; I cannot live without you." And she said: "You have a wife now." His reply to that was: "Leave that to me; I will soon be a free man." On Tuesday morning, following the burial of his wife on Sunday, Weir hitched up early In the morning and drove to Dowagiac and rushed into the house, where Mrs.

Poulson was staying, without stopping to rap, and exclaimed: "Dora, don't send any more letters. I am in danger." He went awav without further explanation. Mr. Ahem, the Pinkertoti detective, was on the stand to-day and during his testimony it developed that the defense had copies of the private reports sent by him to his agency and thence back here to the prosecuting attorney and was private property for the prosecutor's office, it then became public that the ex-prnsecutor had kept the reports for two weeks after the present prosecutor had assumed the duties of the office. There is a bitter feeling between the present prosecutor and his predecessor, and the matter of the reports may be further investigated.

The prosecution may rest their case to-morrow. P0NTIAC. Committee to Solicit Appropriation.
