HANDWRITING EXPERT REPORTS.
But Adams Murder Mystery Is Little
Nearer solution.

. New York, Janury %. The Evening

1.-The final report Of William j. kinsley
the handwriting expert in the Adams
poisoning case has been made to the
police,
That report shows positively that the
person who wrote the request for the
sample bottle Of Kutnow powder which
the agents OF the manufacturers submit
ted TO the police. also wrose the address
on the package OF cyanide of mercury sent
to Harry Cornish as hromo seltzer.
Capt McChsky and his entire staff

person identified. How soon that will be
done, II 1t is ever done, Is problematical.
The individual expected to make the

was rented mainly for the purpose Of
having the kutnow powder sent there.
Harry Barnet, a member of the kniok-
erbocker A. g., OF which Cornish Is Il
physical director, died in November last.
The cause OF his death is still in doubt,
but il seems certain that he received
kutnow powder bottle containing poison.
Tho inference is that the same person
made an attempt upon the lives of both
Bal net and Cornish, as the death of Mrs
Adams was due to drinking from bot
tie that had been anonymously sent 10

''There were evidently two bottles of

CHAPTER IN YELLOW POND MUIR
DER.

Bridgeport, Conn, January 50. An
other chapter in the famous Yellow Pond
mystery was commenced this morn IN z
when in the superior court before Judge
Georga Al. Wheeler d. B. Klein, coun-
sci for DIR. Nancy A. Guilford, made mis-
argument for the quashing of the ind let
ment charging his client with murder in
the second degree, IN connection with the
death OF Miss Emma GIL of Southing
ton. In support of his motion TO quash
the indictment Attorney Klein argued
that the attempt TO prosecute his client
ON that charge WAS an attempt TO CON-
bine common law with the statute law.
de said that no one had attempted to
say that his client had been gully OF at.
tempting murder and that there was no
attempt TO commit murder on her part
even II she did perform the operation
which it is alleged to have subsequently
caused the death OF Emma Gill. State
Attorney Fessenden opposed the motion.
de said that ths proceedings had been
brought in accordance with custom and
that such motion as made by the coun-
sci for the defense should not DO enter
tanned by the court.
The arguments occupied between two
and three hours and Judge Wheeler re-
served his decision.

ARGUES THAT IT'S CONTRARY TO
PRINCIPLES OF COUNTRY.

Is Opposed to Ratiication of Treaty
and IntImatcd That Declaration
of Policy on Part of Administration
Would simplify Matters.
Washington, January 3.-Discussion of
the policy of expansion occupied nearly
all the time Of the Senate in open session
today. MIR. White of California, one of
the Democrats who has announced his op-
position to ratification o; the treaty Of
peace, addressed the Senate In support of
the anti-expansion resolution introduced
by Mr.. Vest, Democrat of Missouri, and
of the resolution offered By MIR. Bacon,
Democrat of Georgia, declaring the
Filipinos ought to be free and independ-
ent. Mir White is brilliant speaker, and
he was conplimented by his colleagues
ana a large audience In the galleries with
careful attention. He did not enter into
u constitutional argument, but contped
himself TO discussion of expansion as IA
policy of this government He main
tanned that such a policy was contrary to
the fundamental principles of this
country; 10 its history and traditions He
declared his opposition TO the ratification
Of the pending treaty or peace, broadly
intimated that declaration of definite
policy On the part of the administration
would very much simplify the situation
and as matter of good faith ought not
to be antagonized by the advocates of the
tyeaty's ratification.
