a very jealous woman.

MURDER THEORY IS
BEING STRENGTHENED
PROVING THAT MINNIE ADAMS
PURCHASED POISON.
Story Told by officer Herlihy Corrob-
Grated by Oliver T. Cox,
Geary-Street Car Con-
ductor

The prosecution in the Minnie Adams
case was greatly strengthened yesterday
At the opening of the session officer J.
p. Herlihy took the stand and for some
hours underwent q severe croSs-eXamina
ton by Attorney Mack, who represents
the accused, but could not be shaken in
the general details of his story. He was
positive that shortly before 8 o'clock on
the evening preceding the baby Grays
death the accused purchased a bottle of
caTbolic acid in the drug store a the cor
ner of Devisadero and Geary streets.
After leaving the store, the officer teSti-
fed, she unwrapped a bottle. tore off
label and throwing it on the sidewalk
hurried out to catch a car. The officer
said that he picked up the label, on which
he saw words poison and carbolic acid
were printed, and took it into the drug
store. He was a little uncertain as to
and some differences between his testi-
mony given at the present trial and the
Police Court examination were brought
out by the defense but they did not ma
terially affect the general story
Oliver Thomas Cox was the next wit
ness called. Cox is a conductor on tho
Geary street road and corroborated Her
lihy in detail. He said that at two min
utes past clock on the evening pre-
ceding the murder his car arrived at De-
visadero street. The gripman was sig
nailed to stop and woman boarded the
car. The witness noticed nothing unus-
ual about the appearance or manner Of
the passenger until after the car started.
She then turned in her seat and closely
observed Officer Herlihy, who was stand
ing near the drug store. The officer was
also watching her. and the conductor said
that he thought the woman was making
a mash on the policeman"

got off and proceeded north. Upon the
night in question the witness testified
