MOLINEUx TRIAL.
The Prosecution Introduces Strona
Evidence Against Accused.

NEW YORK, Dec 5.-The surprise
of the day in the trial of Roland B.
Molineux for the murder of Katherine
j. Adams was the. sudden introduction
by the prosecution of direct testimony
that Molineux, harbored bitter enmity
toward Harry Cornish and A A. Harp
ster, former employe of the Knicker-
booker Athletic, Club. and a friend of
, Cornish; further, that Molineux sought
in a roundabout way, by having an
agent write to Harpster's former en-
ployer over a false signature, to obtain
information rejecting on Harpsters
character, that's he might use the in
formation to Harpster's injury.
This new testimony which was ex-
tracted from ana4unwilling friend of
Molineux, is important, not only as
showing a motive for Molineux seeking
the death of Cornish, but as confirm
ing the theory of the prosecution that
Molineux wrote or caused to be writ
ten several letters, falsely signed, ask
ing for drugs and medicines.
The witness Who testified concerning
the letter writing methods of Molineux
was Rudolph Heiles of Newark, N j.,
former cashier of the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club. Heiles worked beside
Harpster, who was clerk at the club.
Molineux said he wanted to learn
something damaging about Harpster
for the purpose of getting him dis
missed. Thereupon, Heiles testified,
he wrote a. letter to Frederick Stearns
& Co. of Detroit, who formerly en-
p1oyed Harpster, asking for informa-
signed the letter Charles Jacobs &
Company.
The witness testified that Molineux
said Harpster had been responsible for
his leaving the Knickerbocker Club:
that Harpster was dirty 1oafer, and
the same kind of man as Cornish"
In answer to questions put by Mr..
Osborne, Heiles said he had destroyed
the letter he received in answer to the
one sent by him to Stearns & co. He
did this about two months after the
death of Mrs. Adams
Heiles was asked by Mr. Osborne if
he destroyed the papers during the
course of the inquest, and replied in
the affirmative
The witness further admitted that he
knew that the writer of the bogus Cor
nish letters to Stearns & Co. was ac-
cused of the Adams murder, and that
in destroying the papers he knew that
he was destroying a clew.
Frank c. Mclaughlin, an antploye of
Frederick Stearns & Co., of Detroit,
was called as witness and. despite the
objections of the defense, identified the
letters signed H Cornish and the let
ter incuiring as to the character of
Harpster.
Other important testimony was given
by Dr. Edward F. Hitchcock, who at
tended Mrs. Adams Immediately after
the poisoning.
DR.. Hitchcock described his efforts
to save her life, and said he heard
some one retching in near by room,
and on asking who it was was told it
was Mr.. Cornish. Beyond question,
witness said, Mr. Cornish was in most
distressing condition.
This was objected to by Mr.. Weeks,
and was stricken from the record.
