Attorney Weeks Objects to His Plead
ing to Poison Charge.
DEMANDS GRAND JURY RECORDS
Has a Fierce Alteration With
--v2
District Attorney Gardiner.
JUDGE RESERVES DECISION

NEW YORK, March 7.-Roland B. Moli-
neux, under Indictment for having caused
the death of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams by
poison, was arraigned today to plead in
part / of the court of general sessions.
When his case was called his attorney, Bar
tow s. Weeks, moved for an order permit
ting him to examine the minutes of the
grand jury. Mr.. Weeks followed up the
motion with history of the case, in spite
of frequent Interruptions by District Attor-
ney Gardiner
Judge Blanchard sustained Mr.. Weeks
The latter said that he demanded of right
to know what evidence was submitted to
the grand jury, and if this evidence was
legal. The evidence before the coroner's
jury, Mr.. Weeks asserted, was made up of
suspicious, opinions and theory.
Vital Omission in Coroner's Court.
1t was also alleged by Mr.. Weeks that
there was vital omission in the coroner S
court in not having the jury see the body
of the deceased. Mr. Weeks asserted that
his client was improperly forced to give a
specimen of his handwriting in court, and
that he was also taken to handwriting
experts office, where he was made to give
specimens of his writing.
Not being content with his natural hand
writing, the district attorney had him write
as near as possible to a sample given him
and which is an exhibit in this case.
Col. Gardiner interrupted with denial
In angry tones Mr.. Weeks shouted back
1t is question of word, and my word is
as good as either of them, referring to
Col Gardiner and Assistant District Attor-
ney Osborne.
Mr.. Weeks declared that whatever evil
dence the defendant might have given
could not be used against him. because he
mad not been warned of his rights.
Famous Case Cited.
District Attorney Gardiner argued that in
murder cases of great Importance the court
had uniformly refused such permission as
asked by Mr.. Weeks. He instanced the
Carlyle Harris, DR.. Buchanan, DR.. Meyer
and Mary Alice Fleming cases, and declared
that no rights of the defendants were at
issue.
After further controversy between Mr.
Weeks and Colonel Gardiner Judge Blanch-
ard took the papers in the case and re-
served decision. The pleading of Molineux
was deferred pending the decision. and
Mollneux was taken back to the Tombs.

CHIEF CLERK WAR DEPARTMENT.,
John c. ScOfieId, Mr.. MefI<IeJohn's
Private Secretary. Appointed.


Mr. A. N. Thompson had full conference
with the Secretary of War this morning
upon the subject of the chief clerkship of
the department. The position was rendered
to Mr. Thompson, but, after deliberation,
was declined by him, as he did not feel that
his present physical condition, resulting
from severe accident sustained some
months since, would warrant him in taking
upon himself the duties of the office, which
at this time, on account of the conditions
created by the Spanish war, are exceedingly
arduouS and eXacting.
Mr.. Thompson was recently promoted to
an important position in the department.,
and he deemed it preferable, for the rea-
sons stated, to continue therein than to
accept the chief clerkship.
The Secretary thereupon directed the ap-
pointment of Mr.. John c. Scofield as chief
clerk of the War Department Mr.. Scofeld
Is the popular and efficient private secre-
tary of Assistant Secretary Meklejohn and
is especially qualified for the duties of the
new position by reason of his long service
in the department and his thorough famil-
iarity with the methods Of business.

The KENTUCK1AN has enough OF
politics for the present. In local
affairs the Democratic party has
been thrown down and thrown
hard. There are all sorts of ru-
mors and some ugly charges about
the way the Democratic majority
was turned into a minority. About
these matters we have only the
same interest felt by other citizens.
1t is not the province Of this paper
to deal in post-election roasts. I'm
less attacked first, we seldom in
dulge in personalities, and when
we are knocked out we accept the
result as gracefully as we can,
whether the blow was fairly or
foully dealt. 1t does not concern
us whether the city officers elected
Friday night were chosen by cor
rupt methods or not. They re-
ceived enough votes to elect and we
have no further fight to make upon
them. Most of them are our perso-
nal friends. AS a rule they are
good and capable men and will
doubtless make efficient officers.
So far as we are concerned, the
war is over.
