NEW YORK, Dec. 5-The surprise Of
the day In the trial of Roland B. Mol
lneuX Tor the murder of Katherine j.
Adams, was the sudden introduction bv
the prosecution of direct testimony that
Molineux had borne bitter enmity toward
Harry Cornish and A. A. Harpster a
former employe of the Knickerbocker
Athletic club, and a friend of Cornish:
further that Molineux sought, In a round
about way, by having an agent write to
Harpster's former employer over a false
signature, to obtain information as to
Harpster's character. that he might use
the information to Harpster's injury.
This new testimony, which was extract
ed from an unwilling friend Of Molineux.
is important, not only as showing a mo-
tive for Molineux seeking the death of
Cornish, but as confirming the theory of
the prosecution that Molineux wrote, or
caused to be written, certain letters false
ly signed, asking 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 AHarpster,
VINO was clerk at the club. MOlineuX
says he wanted to learn something dam
aging concerning Harpster for the pur-
pose Of getting him dismissed. Thereupon.
Heiles testified, he wrote a letter to
Frederick Stearns & Co., of Detroit. who
formerly employed Harpster asking for
information as to Harpsters reputation.
Heiles signed the letter Charles Jacobs
& Co."
The witness testified that Molineux said
Harpster had been responsible for his
leaving the Knickerbocker Athletic club;
that Harpster was a dirty loafer and
the same kind Of a 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.

that the prisoners and the wounded were
robbed of everything valuable, even we'd

finger was cut off to get ring. The cor
respondent says:
Never have 1 thought Englishmen to
be such brutes. Imagine that about
ninety men were behind kopje when 800

to surrender to such overwhelming num-
bers and threw down their weapons in
token OF submission. But the captain of

VIGOROUS PROTEST..

AS soon as the name of Harpster was
mentioned Mr. Weeks arose and objected
on the ground that the man mentioned
was beyond the jurisdiction of this coun-
ty, and such evidence was not in any way
relevant or competent.
The court overruled the objection by Mr..
Weeks, who objected seriously and per-
sistently. He insisted on explaining the
situation, but was not allowed to do so,
and was peremptorily ordered to take his
seat.
The witness was shown letter, pre-
sumably the letter written to that firm
and signed III. Cornish" and asked if he
recognized it.
The witness identified 1t, giving the ex-
act date on which the letter was received
as Oct. II. 1885,
Another letter was shown and identified
as having been received by Frederick
Stearns & Co. on Dec. "a, 1898.
Both letters were offered In evidence
and marked as Exhibits

answer was in the Affirmative Witness
