ISOLATION. His stay was brief.
Edward M. Rogers, husband of Mrs.
Florence Rogers, daughter of Mrs.
Adams, conferred with Assistant Dis
triet Attorney Blumenthal today. Az
the close Of the interview he said, 'Trhe
district attorney did not want mo-"
Rogers is not living with his wife.
David N. Carvalho, the handwriting
expert, who was employed by Capt. Nc
Clusky on the poison case, had half an
hours conference this noon with the
chief of the detective buheau. Mr.. Car
valho said he had been talking to the
chief of detectives about the hand
writing evidence. Mr.. Carvalho said
he believed that Molineux did not write
the address on the poison package. He
said that he had made this statement
to Capt. McClusky six weeks ago and
he still adhered to It,
Il told Capt McCluslSy," said Mr.,
Carvalho, that If / were called as a
witness now I would have to testify
that l believe after my examinations of
the writings that Molineux did not
write the handwriting on the poison
package. I would have disagreed with
the experts who testified at the in
quest"
the verge of mysteries when she heard
last night OF her husbands artist, vis-
tied him in Tonbs this morning, There
was little evidence visible of tho dis
tress which she exhibited last evening.
Mrs. Molineux will doubtless take an
important part in the trial, her rela-
lions previous to her marriage with
Barnet being characterized by Col.
Gardiner as the cause for the murder
of that club man.
Inc evidence so far produced against
Monneux is considered as ample to Sc
cure an indictment for sending the
poisoned bromo-seltzer to Harry Cor
nish, which he innocently administered
to Mrs, Adams, That however might
not warrant conviction of murder in
the first degree, as 1t cannot be shown
that Molineux intended to XIII Mrs
Adams, or had even heard OF her ex-
istence
A collateral issue of the coroner's in
quest, however, was the death of Hen
ry Q. Barnet. DR.. Witthaus has not
yet made his report on the chemical
analysis he made of the organs taken
from Barnet's eXhumed body He may
do it today before the grand iury
Should his report prove what is gem
orally expected. Moineux may be in
dicted for the murder Of Barnet AS il
/ is now, the warrant on which he is held

makes him merely primarily respon-
sible for Mrs. Adams death For these
reasons Molineux's lawyers have az
sured him that he is in no serious
danger. It fs said, however, that other
evidence, circumstancial TO strong
degree, that was not introduced at the
coroneTs inquest will be forthcoming
at the trial in the court Of general SEES
sions.
In contrast TO the Molineux family.
and especially its venerable and re-
spected head, Gen. Molineux, in anx-
iety and distress, was Harry Cornish.
He was intensely pleased with tho OUT
come OF the inquest. TT came out" he
said, smiling gladly lust as | pre-
dicted. From the start I was convinced
that Molineux was the man / felt he
was capable Of doing anything in order
TO harm any one whom he regarded as
an enemy"
District Attorney Gardiner and AS
sistant District Attorneys Osborne and
Unger held conference late in the
day with the result that Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Unger was ordered to at
once prepare an indictment to be taxi
EN- before the grand jury charging Mo-
lineux with the murder OF Mrs Adams
Mr.. Unger called for copy Of all the
proceedings of the coroner's inquest
and the matter will be brought before
the grand jury tomorrow. The grand
jury would have been discharged to-
day, but 1t was continued in session in
order to bring the case before it,
