NO LIGHT YET.


: New York. Feb. 2l.--The Adams in
quest was continued this morning. AS
yet il Is impossible To forecast when
these remarkable hearings will come To
n close and despite the direct accusa-
ton of Molineux by Cornish yesterday
the district attorney has no evidence
that would Justify an arrest and seems
az far as ever from reaching a conclu-
sion regarding n motive for the mur-
der. So many things foreign to the
actual crime have been introduced into
the case and so many contradictory
statements have already been made by
the various witnesses that IL is proba-
BILE that nearly all of the principal evi-
dence will be gone over again. This Is
especially true In regard to the testi-
mony of Cornish and Molineux.
The hearing yesterday was almost en-
tirely made up Of Cornish's attempt To
show that Molineux was the only man
that could have sent the poison TO him
with the intention of taking his life.
The recital was considerably robbed OF
its dramatic strength on account Of the
fact that IL was previously well known
that Cornish held these views.
A large crowd was present when
court opened today. The first witness
called was Mary Hendon. n colorcd girl
formerly i'm the employ of the late Mrs.
Adams and at present employed by
Mrs. Rogers. This witness never saw
any trouble between Cornish and Mrs.
Adams

DEMURRER OvERUULEO.
Appellate Court Decides Against
Charles Edward Paine.
Holds That Trustees to Ict WITH Hin Can
Be Appointed Under the WILL

The opinion OF the appellate count
handed down today i'm the cage of Ian
icl Paine Gllswold et al W. Emnla H.
Sackett, ct al. IS that the demurrer TO
the bill filed by Charles Edward Paine
must be oye~ruled. Daniel Paine died
i'm this city q number OF years ago ana
appointed by his last viii and testa-
ment three trustees of his property
Two Of the three trustees have since
deceased and some of the heirs of Mr.
Paine thought his son, Charles Edward
Paine. the only surviving trustee, should
share his responsibilities with other
trustees The surviving trustee de-
INJURED 10 the bill filed, which asked Tor
appointment of two trustees on the
ground that the win made IL necessary
Tor the surviving trustee 10 joint in an
application TO fiji any vacancy IN the
trustecship.
Chief Justice MattesCn, who writes
the opinion OF the court, says: This is
y bill for the appointment of new trus-
tees i'm the place OF former trustees
who have deceased. TO act with the sur
Viying trustee I'm the trusts in the VIII
of Daniel Paine, formerly OF ProVi-
dence, deceased
The will provides for the appoint
ment by the court of new trustees on
the Joint application of the surviving
trustee and the beneficiaries under the
trust. The surviving trustee, however,
who is also n beneficiary, refuses To
Join I'm such an application, though re-
quested SO 10 do by the other bene-
ficiaries, and ha demurred to the bill,
claiming that this provision for the ap-
pointment OF "a new trustee is exclusive,
and that inasmuch as the will gives
authority TO the surviving trustee 10 act
i'm trust IL was the intention of the
testator that no trustees should be APP
pointed except In accordance with the
provisions OF the win. so long as there
was a surviving trustee competent and
willing To act.
eve do not think that the provision
in the will is TO be deemed exclusive.
The authority given To the surviving
trustee 10 act in the performance OF the
trusts is we think, for the protection
of the trust estate, and not with the i'm
tention that such trustee should con-
tinue to act alone i'm the performance of
such trusts. 1t was evidently the in
tention of the testator that there should
be three trustees, for he himself appoint
ed that number. lie probably did not
anticipate the refusal on the part of
a surviving or continuing trustee TO join
with the benefciarics in an applica-
tion for the appointment of new trus-
tees. and hence. did not provide for that
contingency.
The provision for the appointment
contained i'm the viii has become inef-
fectual but the court has power TO
make the appointment under its gener-
al chancery jurisdiction.
The demurrer to the bill is over
ruled

an Insane AsyIum-C Coroner Continues In
quest at tho JAIL

Coroner Hawkins went 20 the Provl-

to conclude his inquest relative to the
death of Addie M. Palmer, whose hus-
band shot her at their home in Edge
wood on the 18th inst, and for the
specific purpose of taking the depos
tions of Deputy Warden Rowe and
Deputy Sheriff Wall. Mr.. Rowe in an
ticipation of this visit to the institution
said that the published report that
Amos NJ. Palmer remarked 10 him, Il
don't know just how i killed her, but
she bothered me a great deal at times"
was unfounded. He had not discussed
the case with Palmer at all. Deputy
Sheriff Wall, who is also clerk Of the
Jail. and who was declared 10 have
said that Palmer remarked 10 him, II
never was in a lunatic asylum and
would not be i'm here had that wife of
mine not kissed that fellows picture.
said that the only conversation he ever
had with Palmer was that he asked
the accused II he had ever been i'm the
Butler hospital for the insane. Palmer
replied that he had not, but said moth

purpose were Immediately dismissed. OF

became an absolute necessity i'm the fer
reting out of crime. the conversations
of prisoners were made note OF and
legitimately communicated to the pro-
per authorities but as far as deliberate

The Jail officers knew nothing about
the contemplated visit of the coroner
until they saw the announcements in

Investigation, and they We're somewhat
puzzled 10 know what he expected TO

Palmer has adapted himself 20 the

Don't Worry the Composer.

A musical organization, intending to
give performance Of an oratorio, be-
gan to be alarmed about the probable
cost Of the production.
Accordingly, the director Of the cho-
rus said to the leader Of the orchestra,
who was professional musician:
We've got to keep down our expens-
es, and thought I might get you to
leave out the trombones. You know,
they have only four measures in the
entire oratorio, and if we leave them
out we can save at least SIS, and no
one will be any the wiser"
The leader Of the orchestra was ex-
tren.ely shocked. Assuming a tragic
attitude, he said:
''That would be an insult to the CON-
poser!'
The chorus director reflected mo-
ment, and then said, cheerfully:

In a recent story about the kaiser,
William is made to size up his OWL

that the kaiser, on his annual trip on
the Hohenzollern to the Norwegian
fiords, is in the habit of conducting di-
vine service every Sunday morning.
He usually reads a short liturgy and
follows the prayers with a sermon. In
his recent trip, the officers of the Ho-
henzollern noticed that sailor during
divine service had fallen fast asleep.
After the service the captain called the
sailor before him. and gave him a

two days arrest. The captain after
