New York, Feb. 24.-Harry Cornish.
on the witness stand at the Adams in
quest to-day, accused Roland Il. Mo-
lineuN OF having sent him the poisoned
Dromo-seltzer.
His story was that he thought Mo-
lineux had sent him the poison because
he was the only man who had shown
great enmity toward him: that he had
lied about him and prosecuted him,
that he had lied about others in the
club; that there was enmity between
Barnet and MolineuN. and that Mo-
lineux had started stories about mem
bcrs of the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club.
Witness stated that MolineuN, being
In rival club, was jealous of him.
He declared that the coroner must
search the athletic clubs of New York
city for the murderer of Mrs. Adams.
He suspected MolineuN of having sent
Kutnow powders 10 Barnet. He testi-
fled that Mrs. MolineuN's statement
that she had never been in Barnet's
room alone was false. He knew of a
person who had seen Mrs. MolineuX
and Barnet drinking wine In the lat
ter's room when no other person was
present.
Witness stated that Molineux was
his bitter enemy ana the only man he
knew who could have n motive for
wishing to take his life. Cornish was
earnest in tcstifying and contradicted
much that he had said when he was
first examined by the coroner. Cor
nish was asked several times TO give
the names of men who had told the
stories that he repeated about Moln-
eux
He said that he could not remember
them all. but he had no doubt these
men would come forward and substan-
tiate his story as soon as they heard
he had told 1t.

And why?" demanded the king.

which your majesty has given me will

said the smith. handing 1t to the mon

his signature to the photograph. and
dismissed the smith with smile and
his customary inclination Of the head.
To the kings surprise the smith did
not retire, but stood his ground.

smoking a cigar, and kept up con-
stant stream of bantering remarks in
a reckless way.

his company crossed the platform and
clambered down the sandy slope to-
ward the siding. Don't you see the
sign? Improved Stable Cars Well.

When the men halted beside the cars
a bystander said affably to this man:
You've got more than your share OF

II don't know about that" answered
the Michigan soldier. soberly.
Where did you get the extra gun? ?"
Its dead mans gun. II belonged
to a man who was killed down in Gu

"And you are taking 1t home. are
you?"
Yes. I'm taking It to his folks"
The stranger seemed inclined to get

that a squad Of twenty men. while
bushwhacking. one January. with a
band OF northern Cheyennes. the Spar
taps OF the plains, was called upon to
assist in capturing "a bunch Of Indians
corralled out in the hills" They at
once Joined the troops which had been

they were told, had last been seen on

were on the rocks. Then the two Inen

At last the sergeant drew himself up
over the edge of the cliff and looked
about him. There was nothing to be
seen but snow and broken rock. Otto
likewise lifted himself. and he. too,
saw nothing. Now the soldiers came
briskly forward. dragging up the cliff
in single file.
The enemy had disappeared. Yet
this was the trail which led to him.
and later that day the fight came on,
and victory was with the white men.
