MOLINEUX In COURT.
Habcas Corpus Proceedings for Re-
lease Of the Alleged POisoner.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Roland b. Mo
lineux, the alleged poisoner of Mrs. kath-
crime ]. Adams, was brought into the Su-
preme Court before Justice Bookstaver this
afternoon in habeas corpus proceedings.
Molineuxs s counsel, Barton S. Weeks, de-
clared that the coroner's commitment was
void, because he had refused to continue
hearing the case and that the coroner had
been ousted from jurisdiction by the district
attorney. Mr.. Weeks held that until the de-
cision Of Justice Williams declaring the
Indictment 20 be faulty, Molineux was being
imprisoned in direct contravention of his
constitutional rights. There is no indict-
ment against him." said Mr.. Weeks, ''and
he should be released. Henry Cornish was
the man who was charged with having ad-
ministered the poison and If any one should
have been arrested it was he.''
Colonel Gardiner claimed that the order of
Justice Williams clearly provided for the
resubmission OF the indictment to the April
grand jury or the May grand jury. He said
the order had not been signed until after
the April grand jury had been discharged
and that the May grand jury was not yet
convened. The new indictment, he claimed,
would be submitted to the May grand jury
In due course. Justice Bookstaver said he
would receive briefs On Thursday, and ad-
journed the hearing until Monday next.

TROUBLE AT SAVANNAH
INDIANA SOLDIERS REFUSED TO BE
TREATED AS CHATTELs.
Railway Transportation Agreement
Which Is En- Route Home.

SAVANNAH, Ca, April 25.-The railroads
centering here recently reached an agree
ment to apportion the transportation of the
mustered-out troops To-day Il went into
effect and the first regiment to be moved
under the arrangement was the One-hun-
dred-and-sxtieth Indiana. The Florida
Central & Peninsular was designated 10 do
the business Many OF the ex-soldiers posi-
lively refused to be governed by the ar
rangement OF the railroads and demanded
the right to travel by whatever line they
pleased AT the depots Of the Central of
Georgia. the Georgia & Alabama and the
Plant system the agents refused to sell the
soldiers tickets.
At the central depot, from which the
Florida Central trains leave there was al
most an incipient riot. An extra force of
police and provost guards had TO be put into
service TO maintain order. 1t was reported
that one man had been killed, but it proved
that he had only been knocked senseless
with the butt of n gun by a provost guard.
AS a final outcome the Central of Georgia
was obliged to take two companies and a
number of stragglers, and the Georgia &
Alabama to take two companies.
Many of the men, 1t is understood, would
not buy tickets by any train when they
learned of the pooling arrangement, but
announced that they would leave town on
freight trains. And your crews had better
be mighty good TO us. too" they warned
the road agents, "or will throw them
off"
Most of the Indiana men finally got away
this evening They expect to arrive at Gin
cinnati Wednesday night. The men will re-
main at Cincinnati until Thursday morning
when all will scatter to the different In
diana towns. All hope 10 reach their home
by Thursday evening.

Dreyfus Convicted on Testimony of
an officer Who Committed Suicide.

PARIS, April 25.-According to the Temps
member of the Dreyfus court-martial.
named Freystacteer in testifying before the
Court OF Cessation yesterday, declared that
it was the evidence given by Lieutenant
Colonel Henry (who afterwards confessed
that he had forged q letter which was
largely instrumental in preventing a re-
vision of the Dreyfus case and then cut his
throat in PRISON. which decided the court
martial to convict Dreyfus and that the
only document produced in the presence of
the prisoner was the bordereau. The
Temps adds that another witness, named
Lupine, who was also examined by the
Court of Cassation dwelt on the Importance
of Colonel Henrys evidence and testified
that the inquiries which the police were in
structed TO make at the time resulted in
utterly refuting the stories to the effect
that Dreyfus had squandered money on
cards and women.

doubts as TO the guilt of Dreyfus during the

with the discovery of the bordereau. NJ.

the place where the document was found
| and the diplomatic complications likely TO
ensue If Dreyfus were prosecuted. He said
| he had heard of no other communications
than the bordereau and only learned of any
| confessions by Dreyfus from the newspa-
| pers. Captain Cuignet's final deposition was
| largely occupied in detailing and completing

REAL "sOCIAL HIGHwAYMAN."
The Remarkable Criminal Career OF
Robert Graham i'm London.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April "a copy
right dispatch TO the Press from London,
says: THE social highwayman" of delight
full fiction has appeared in actuality in
Robert Graham, of Highbury Crescent. n.
Since Graham was sentenced to penal servi-
tude for five years and TO police surveillance
for seven years for the theft OF some rings
the police have gained information of all
the secrets of his predatory life, ard have
learned that he made not less than S125.o00 10
$4,000 by burglary. In all his exploits in
theft he never entered dwelling or a bank.
He gave his attention solely 10 the fine
shops of the jewelers.. He was an expert in
the use of delicate tools employed by burg
lars, and like Heliogablus, who never used
the plate or the same linen the second
time, Graham never used the same tools
twice. One little article that could hardly
be called tool of his trade, though used in
his Illicit occupation, he used repeatedly,
and regarded il as his mascot. This was a
small mask to cover his face. He left this
mask behind in store at Shrewsbury, and
it was for this burglary that he was ar
rested and sentenced. He attributes his ar
rest TO the loss of his mascot. IN fact, he
was arrested because a detective sergeant
noticed on his finger two rings in which
described in the list of articles stolen from
the Shrewsbury shop.
Graham is a short, fair, good-looking man
OF thirty-five, who mixed with the very best
people and attended church regularly, usu-
ally in carriage and pair. His house
was excellently furnished and in his library
are TO be found many choice and valuable
editions. He paid his accounts monthly,
dealt with the better class of tradesmen,
always insisting upon having the best of
everything, regardless of cost. He had most
excellent taste in the matter of wine and
cigars and his visitors-drawn principally
from the good families in the district-re-
ceived with pleasure his little invitation to
dinner or TO the ''at homes" given every
fortnight. Mr.. Graham was passionately
fond Of mastiffs and besides owning several
of this particular breed he has benched a
| couple of priZe-winners. He took also a
great interest in gardening, his favorite
flower being the geranium, which he grew
in great variety. He did not disguise the
fact that he was not averse TO a little
| gamble, and there are bookmakers in the
neighborhood of the Angel, Islington, with
| whom he did business. He was calling upon
one of the bookmakers when a detective
sergeant noticed the rings and arrested him.
