BRAZILIANS TO BLAME.


Forced French Boundary Commits
sioners to Act In Self Defense.
Kingston. Jamaica, Feb. 2S.-Further
advices from Cayenne, capital of French
Guiana, say that aaultional French
troops have been dispatched to Counani,
because the governor received informa-
tion that n strong body Of Brazilians
was proceeding up the river. 1t is pre-
sumed that the French troops went to
meet them.
Every effort is being made to suppress
official news about the situation between
the bellicOsc boundary commissioners and
their forces. But advices received from
fugitive settlers say the present state Of
affairs is due to the Brazilians, who at
tackled the Frcnchmen and forced the
latter to act in self defense, after hot
dispute between the commissioners,
from which the Brazilians hastily
withdrew and removed their camp. IN
the collision a few men were killed and
some were wounded on both sides.
The camps, it appears. subsequently
sustained watchful peace. while await
ing instructions. The natives are said
to be preparing to join in the fighting il
hostilities are renewed. which is causing
the fArcign settlers to flee from the ,.,s-
turbcd district, abandoning their prop
erty.

It appeared to be nm easy matter TO get
rid of the other enemy. The poisoner
knew that, being man about town,
Cornish probably occasionally took Il
dose of bromO sclizer. This being set
tied upon, some Of this was mixed with
cyanide of mercury and sent through the
mails TO Cornish.
"Now in the killing OF Barnet, where
was the motive? We have it by cir
cimstantiaI evidence. Barnet was at
tcntive TO Blanche Chesebrough. He
wined her and diner her, invited her to
his room, and she accepted. They were
in fact on the closest terms of intimacy.
The other man wanted her to marry
him, and she finally consented to do so,
but she loved Barnet. She came to New
York and went to live from place to
place. with no apparent means Of support
and no one to care for her. And now
We come to one of the most remarkable
things connected with the case"
Mr.. Gardiner then read the letter
written to Barnet while he was i'll, and
said:
"Is that the language of one ordinary
friend TO anothcr?'
'eHeT;ll NIollneuN interrupted Hill ny
crying out: Yes. it is" The coroner
sienccd him and the district attorney re-
sumed.
He dwelt upon the fact that Mrs. Mol
ineux had sent flowers and a letter to
Barnet only 10 days before her marriage,
and dis,rcdited the statement of Moli-
nenx that he had paid for the flowers.
''It is clear that Mrs. Molincux loved
Barnet, but knew Molincux had good
prospects, and she wanted to be taken
care of. There's the motive" said Mr..
Gardiner.
Colonel Gardiner here took up Moli-
neux's hatred of Cornish and spoke Of
Molncux's visits to Chinatown and his
intimacy with persons there.
Coming down to the hiring of the letter
boxes, Colonel Gardiner referred to the
evidence of witnesses that Molineux had
hired the boxes in the names Of Barnet
and of Cornish He further referred to
the testimony of the experts that letters
signed Ii. G. Barnet and Ii. s. Cornish
had been written by Molineux Colonel
Gardiner then said that the letters, to
his mind, had been written by degen-
crate.
The Jury dclibcratcd three hours and a
half, and then returned with a verdict
holding Molincux responsible for Mrs.
Adams ,death. The coroner immedi-
ately issued Il warrant for the arrest of
Molincux, and the latter was at once
arraigncd before him. Through his at
tOrncy, Barlow s. Weeks, he demanded
an immediate hearing, but Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne objected, saying
it was impossible to proceed with the
hearing. The hearing was then set down
for Wednesday morning, and MolincuX
was committed to the Tombs without

QUAY TRIAL AGAIN POSTPONED.


This Time tho Prosecution Objects to
Proceeding With the Case.
Philadelphia, Feb. 2S.-Thc trial of
the Quay conspiracy casc has been post
poncd until April 10. The announcement
was made in court before Judge Beitlcr
by District Attorney Rothermel. No
sooner had the change been made known
than it was asserted that the cause for
hating the case was an astounding dis
covery affecting the jury panel. Officials
in the district attorneys office declined
TO discuss this, hryoud stating that there
was only reason why the trial should
not 60 on, the prosecution being entirely
in readiness to proceed. Rumor had it
that case of impersonaiion had been
detected. but concerning this no definite
information was obtninablr.
After court adjourned Mr.. ROthcrmcl
said in reply to an interrogation: while
l will say nothing whatever about the
cause which induced me to continue the
case, except what said in court. can
state that the entire subject was submit
ted to Judge Beitler and approved by
him before l made the application for
pOstpOnement.'
Senator Quay's counsel had this to
say: "The fact of the matter Is that
there is nothing whatever in the case.
Our experts have examined the books
and documents. They arr mutilated,
false and fraud upon thrir face. We
are prepared to prove conclusively that
the entries duplicating Senator Quay and
his son were made six months after
the alleged conspiracy had been consum-
mated and the fruits, il any, had been
reaped The commonwealth must ad-
nit this. Their own experts will testify
to it."
Mr.. Rothermel denies that the books
have been mutilatcd.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Roland b. Moli.
neux is prisoner In the TOmbs, charged
with the murder Of Mrs. Kate Adams
by poison sent through the mail to Harry
6. Cornish. The arrest was made last
night after the finding Of the coroner's
Jury naming the young club man as the
murderer.
Most of the days session had been
taken up In the examination Of hand
writing experts. All of these declared
positively that the address on the poison
package sent to Cornish was written
by Molineaux, and not one Of them
would admit the possibility Of mistake.
Roland B. Molineaux sat and listened to
the testimony Of the handwriting experts
without betraying any nervousness at all.
No so with his father, however. General
Molineaux seemed almost on the verge
Of collapse during the better part of the
hearing. His lips worked convulsively,
and his manner generally showed that
he was hard beset. He bore up well,
however, and declined to leave the court
when invited to do SO by Mr.. Weeks.
