UNRAvELING the MYSTERY
Mondays Investigation Expected to
Disclose the POisOner of Mrs. Kate
Adams

Adams
making very great progress toward the
solution Of the mysterious Adams
poisoning case, the coroner's inquest
this afternoon adjourned over until
Monday. The most important develop
connected with today's session
were the testimony Of John D.. Adams,
the secretary of the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club, who went upon the wit
ness stand and told how he happened
to mention Roland B. Molineux in on
nection with the sending of the bromo
seltzer to Cornish by recognizing a
similarity in the handwriting Of Moli-
neux and the person who sent the bot
tie containing the poison to Cornish;
the request Of Cornish to again 90
upon the stand, and the statement of
DR.. Hitchcock that if he were again
put upon the stand he could clear up
the mystery of the two glasses.
Shortly after the moo recess today
Harry Cornish sent a friend to Coro-
ner Hart, asking for a private confer
ence. The coroner sent back word to
the physical director that he saw no
need of a private conference, n that
he could tell publicly all he knew by
resuming the witness stand Cornish
announced his immediate readiness to
testify again. What 1 shall disclose
will help immeasurably in solving this
mystery" he said. 1t is very probable
he will give his evidence on Monday,
as Coroner Hart and all concerned pro-
fess to have not the slightest objection
to his resuming the stand if he in
tends to throw some light upon the
mysteries of the case.
A report emanated today from the
district attorneys office to the effect
that the persons who had murdered
Mrs. Adams and Henry c. Barnet were
known and that the state had suffi-
cient evidence to convict them. This
evidence has not yet been submitted
to the grand jury, nor will n Of the
lawyers at the district attorneys Of
flee or Colonel Gardner himself ex-
plain the delay. Despite the time which
the Investigation Of the case is taking,
Assistant District Attorney Osborne to-
day said that Mrs. Roland B.. Molineux
would certainly be placed upon the
witness stand This probably will be
on Monday next, to which day ad-
journment has been taken.

macadam. is the miserable shape OF the
side streets Many are unpaved aid con-
seouently a rainstorIn works havoc on
the dressing as the water rushes furious
" down the sfdestreets carrying every
thing before it. To sewer these streets
takes time and to put in catch basins on
the road, also takes money and time. ms
work cannot be accomplished immediate
ly."
Commissioner Birdsall, who was also
present, remarked that he did not care
who criticized the work of the Commas
sion, for those people were not acquaint-
ed with the true condition of affairs.
.sWe are here to do our duty" he said,
"and for every dollar spent by US we VIII
get a dollars worth in return. The re-
pairs, as Mr.. Lewis has explained are
being made as rapidly as possible. When
the road is repaired properly from end TO
end. then there will be no difficulty IN
keeping it in perfect shape"
Mr.. Birdsall made similar statements
to those uttered by Mr.. Lewis regarding
the repairs and lights, saying that the
Commissioners knew the bridge lights
had been cut off, for the purpose of recon-
structing the system. Regarding the
stones and brickbats scattered about the
road, Mr.. Birdsall said that these would
be attended to as soon as the gangs
reached those points.
All the Commissioners were of the
opinion that hundreds of new trees would
have to be planted and all expressed
themselves as pleased with the progress
made on the repairs
