Sent the Bromo Settler.
ON THE STAND.
Bitter Denunciations By Knickerbocker Ath-
letic observation-disclosures for His Belief
in Guilt of Molneux.

New York, Feb. 23-Harry Cornish
on the witness stand at the Adams in
quest today accused Poland B. Moli-
neux of having sent him bromo settler.
Ever since Cornish first testified in
the case he has been asking to be re-
called, claiming that when on the
stand at the opening of the inquest he
had not finished giving his testimony
and since then many statements had
been made by other witnesses, which
seemingly contradicted what he had
sworn to.
The court room was crowded, but
Cornish's statements did not create
much of a sensation His story was
that he thought Molineux had sent him
the poison because he was the only
toward him; that Molineux had lied
about him and prosecuted him; that
he had lied about others in the club
that there was enmity between Barnet
and Molineux, and that Molineux had
started stories about members Of the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club.
Witness stated that Molineux, being
in rival club, was Jealous Of him. He
declaIed that the coroner must search
the athletic clubs Of New York city for
the murderer of Mrs. Adams.
He suspected Molineux of having
sent Kutnow powders to Barnet. He
testified that Mrs. MoLneux's state
ment that she had never been in Bar
nets room alone, was false He knew

Condition Of Mr.. Kipling
Remains the Same.

New York. Feb. 23.-The following
bulletin was issued at 1890 o'clock to-
night, by physicians attending Rud-
yard Kipling: Mr.. Kipling has had a
fairly comfortable day, although in the
late afternoon and early evening as
usually happens the symptoms have be-
come about as they were last evening,
but not worse"
Soon after the bulletin was posted,
DR.. Janeway was asked if he had any
thing additional to say, and he said no.
that he had included everything in the
bulletin. He was then asked If Mr.
Kipling's malady was not likely to turn
into pneumonia, and he replied "proba-
bly,"
When further questioned as to wheth
er both lungs We're now affected, Dr.
Janeway said the disease was only in
its fourth day and intimated that any
positive diagnosis at the time was i'm
possible

latter's room when no other person
was present.
Witness stated that Moiineux was
his bitter enemy, and the only man
he knew of who could have a motive
to take his life
Cornish was earnest in testifying and
contradicted much that he said when
be was first examined by the coroner
Cornish was asked several times TO
give the names Of The men who knew
the stories that he repeated about Mo-
lineux. He said thai he could not re-
member them all but that he had no
doubt these men would come forward
and substantive his story as soon as
they heard he had told it. He talked
rapidly and at times the jury could
hardly follow him The other testi-
mony given today was without special
new features.
The first witness called was Harry
Cornish. The first question asked him
was: do you think you can show any
motive for the killing Of MRS Adams ?"
Yes" replied Cornish. and he then
went on to tell the story of the events
which led up TO the quarrel with Moli-
neux.
Cornish insisted on telling his story
MS own way, referring 10 WeinOfdnud.

that last year Allen was the choice Of
