The FIRST week OF the fight for the life OF
Roland d. Molineux that 10 being waged By
Assistant District Attorney osborne. VINO -
convinced that Molineux sent the poison thas
killed Mrs. Kate ]. Adams. closed yesterday.
with the actual trial hardly begun. Reams OF
testimony had been taken. but no sembance OF
order had been followed; II had no connection
with ANYTHING In particular. IL the entire
testimony OF tho week were put together
In book and given to the cleverest man thas
ever lived to read. unless he mad some previous
knowledge OF the case, he might read IL from
end to end and never suspect that he was
reading the evidence In a murder trial. Aside
from the opening address OF Mr.. Osborne there
has been no evidence that a murder was com.
mitted. The lack OF order In the conduct OF
the trial Is unprecedented. That 1t Ia possible
/ 70 give an intelligent description oil what goes
on is due entirely TO the fact that for year the
case has been In the public mind and the main
features OF II have been threshed over ana
over In the newspapers.

The assertion that created o. nsation was
virtual declaration OF the part OF Barlow 8.
Weeks. Molipeux's counsel, that when the time
came he would produce handwriting samples
that were unou.gtionahly those OF tho man
who addressed tho poison package and that he
would prove who that person was The asser-
| ton wa. made in tho course OF an argument
over the omparisou Of the handwriting OF VAR
ious letters that had been offered In evidence.

he said to a Sun reporter: THE woman has
been under surveillance in Newark and when
she left town was followed. As soon as she
crossed the State limo going toward SufYern
the papers were served on her. She probably
didnt know whore the state line was
A story was given out last night that the
woman had made statement to Capt
McClusky In which she made important adj
missions No authority was quoted for this
story. Every time anything has happened In
the Molineux case. from the day OF the arrest
to the present time. and many times when
nothing at all has happened. stories similar
to this have been circulated. Almost with
out exception they have been false. 50
