STRONGLY AGAINST MoLrNEUx.
Important Testimony Tending TO
show His Guilt.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Several interest
ing points developed today in connection
with the trial OF Roland b. Molneux for
the murder of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams.
First there was the capture Of an impor-
tant witness for the prosecution. This
was Mamie Mullands, the young woman
who cared for Molineux' rooms at Newark.
Through ruse on the part of the detect
ives she was induced to cross the state
hne from New Jersey to Suffer.n. N. Y,
and when once within the jurisdiction Of
the New York state authorities she was
placed under arrest and brought to New
York city.
1t Is said that she will be placed on the
stand by the state and compelled to testify
that Molineux was accustomed to use the
new famous blue paper surmounted by
three interlaced crescents. This same pa
per made It's appearance In the case later
in the day when George William Hail, Of
Moodus. Conn, was called for the purpose
OF testifyfng concerning letter which fell
into the possession of his employer, Prof.
Fowler. The witness said that James
Burns Of Detroit, Mich, sold great many
letters TO Prof Fowler, who deals in med
ical remedies. that the signature ROLAND
b. Molineux' was noticed and the New
York authorities were notified of the find.
The defense admitted the identity Of this
letter as having been written by the de-
PENDANT. This Is considered an important
point, owing to the fact that it was writ
ten upon blue paper with the crescents.
and the defense has acknowledged the
writing of it.
The legal battles today ranged around
the question of expert testimony and the
admissibility Of handwriting when mot
disputed" Attorney Weeks fought brave
~ for his client, but In the end the prose-
cut.on triumphed, the recorder saying that
the court would be forced to consider the
exhibits as being in the handwriting of the
defendant unless the testimony of the wit

peached or contradicted by the defense In
some manner. II seemed to be day Of
victories for the prosecution. for the spec!-

GOVERNOR AGAINST JUDGE.
Exchange OF COurtesies Between
Two Kentucky Statesmen.


Two Kentucky Statesmen.
FRANKFORT, KY. Dec. s.--Gov. Brad
ley tonight gave out his first public ut
terance on the burning of the negro, Dick
Coleman, at Maysville. This came in re-
ply to an interview by Judge James p.
Tarvin, of Covington, criticising the state
authorities and holding them responsible
for the Maysville mob. The governor this
afternoon wired Mr.. Tarvin asking him
II he had been correctly reported. and
received the following reply:
1.-THE penalty given Coleman may be
considered Just, but the failure OF the
state authorities to protect him after he
was In custody is wrong. and any citizen
has right to criticise 1t. The fact that
he was a negro, hardly above brute Is
only the more reason for protecting him.
II your telegram means fight, have the
choice of weapons, and choose cannon,
you to stay at Frankfort. and l at Cow
ington. Please don't send the militia"
The governor. commenting on the above.
said:
This dispatch is characteristic Of the
man. If the penalty given Coleman by the
people was Just, why should Tarvin OBJ
ject. As to his proposition to remain in
Covington and fight a gentleman in
Frankfort, persons who know him will
be astonished to learn he Is willing to
fight, even at that distance"
The governor closes MS statement py
saying:
.'As governor I have done everything
In my power to protect human life and
enforce the law. If I had known. as
Judge Tarvin knew, that this man was
about to be taken tc his death at the
hands of a mob, would not have kept
a ccwardly silence, as he did, but would
have protected him. Ever since Judge
Tarvin was seized with the idea that he
was vice presidential timber his. friends
have kept constant watch over him. This
latest effusion II additional evidence that
he is irresponsible"

TAYLOR IS THE Governor.
KENTUCKY ELECTION BOARD
COUNTS HIM IN.
No Trouble Follows and Politicians
of both Parties Leave Frankfort
Not Certain That Contest wtl
he Had before the Lcwislature.

FRANKFORT. Ky. Dec. s.--The state
board OF election commissioners tonight
gave out Its official findings OF w. 8. Tay-
Tor for governor. and the rest OF tho Re-
publican ticket has been elected on the
face OF the returns. Commissioners Ellis
and Pryor signed the majority report, in
which they held tRut, as board Of can
vassers, they had no right to go behind
the returns of the county boards: that
their duties are purely ministerial as con-
vassers. and that the face Of the returns
as received by them from the counties
show the election OF the Republican state
ticket. Accordingly. the report says, GER
tincates Of election were ordered issued to
each candidate thereon.
Commissioner Poyntz presents minor
ity report. which he closes by saying: II
am unwilling to certify fraud and to turn
Kentucky over to the control OF bayonets,
Calling guns and fraudulent tissue ball
lots"
Extensive preparations are being made
to inausurate Taylor next Tuesday.
All pretense of fight for the certificate
of election as governor has been given UP
by the Goehel people. and whether a con-
test viii be made in the legislature is really
yet to be determined.
The other Democratic candidates for the
minor Offices on the stare ticket have al
ready decided to fight before the state
conrestfng- beard for the positions to
which they believe themselves entitled.
They held several conferences during the
day, but it was not definitely determined
until 3 o'clock In the afternoon to make
the contest.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor were
busy all day writing their opinion, and 1t
was dark before Mr.. Ellis. who did most
of the writing. had finished his task.
The politicians of both parties departed
from Frankfort in great numbers during
the day and the town tonight Is practical
ly deserted
There has been great amount OF mon
ey bet throughout Kentucky as to who
would be the next governor and the bet
tors are trying to decide whether, IL Tay-
lor is declared governor and later ousted
by the legislature as not being legal
incumbent, he was In fact governor at all
in the eyes of the law. The Taylor bet
tors construe 1t one way and naturally the
Goebel men figure 1t out differently. There
has been so much money wagered on the
outcome that the thing has really Sc
rious side to 1t.
