Gardiner opposed the m otion.
Mr.. Weeks went over the facts OF the case.
beginning with the arrest OF Molineux on a
warrant OF Coroner Hart for the'murdsr OF Mrs.
Kate j. Adams by poison. He said the war
rant was without authority because the Coro-
ner's jury had not found that Molineux had
sent poison with criminal intent. Mollneux
was then indicted and the indictment super
seded the Coroner's commitment This in
dictment had been discharged by Justice Will
llams on the ground it had bee n found on ille-
gnl evidence. and the order provided for the
resubmission Of the case to the Grand Jury
Since the order was made the case had not
been submitted again to the Grand Jury. and
Molineux was not held now bv any legal war

tice Williams. He conceded that the indict
ment had superseded the warrant, of the
admitted that Moneux is not now held under
that warrant he said he did not care at this
time to take a position as to whether II was
under the warrant or the order OF Justice Will
liams and the code provision that the prisoner

Lawyer Weeks said that this section OF the
Code Of Criminal Procedure Ia unconstitu-
tional because II depr'yes person OF liberty
without due process. In some parts OF the
State. he said. there are but two Grand Juries

Mr.. Murray was well pleased with

says that the manufacturers have not
the quality or quantity of help that
they desire. Marlboro help, he thinks,
will be in great demand outside of the
city in a. short time.
Today he said that he received let
tiers from Barre, Spencer and several
other places, asking that he send MARI
bOro shoemakers to obtain situations
in those places. Mr.. Murray does not
see any signs of a settlement in sight.
