IN HANDS OF GRAND JURY
MoLINEUX CASE GOES TO THAT
BODY TODAY.
Another Acquittal Is Expected When
With Causing Barnet's Death.

New York, May 1O.-There was long
argument in the Roland MolineuX case
before Justice Jerome, in the court of
special sessions. today. Barlow S.
Weeks, counsel for Molineux, contend
ed that inasmuch as the grand jury has
passed upon the identical points at is
sue, Justice Jerome had no jurisdiction.
Then Mr.. Weeks said he was already for
trial, and the district attorney stated
that he was also ready.
After further elaboration. Mr.. Weeks
staed that ne would waive examina-
ton, and asked Justice Jerome to fix
bail. The justice Said that in waving
examination the case was taken out of
his hands, was in the hands of the
grand jury and he refused to accept or
fix bail. Mr.. Weeks stated that he
would offer no bail, but that he would
take the matter before the grand jury
at once.
1t is expected that inasmuch as the
grand jury failed to find an Indictment
against Molineux in the first instance,
it will again fail to indict him.
General MolineuX called on his son at
the Tombs at 1890 o'clock and remained
with him for an hour. General Moli-
neuX said the matter of bail for his son
was wholly in the hands of Mr.. Weeks.
MS law yer w men dSktu NHdl he
thought of the case now, the general
said he was very we'll pleased" His
son, he said, was feeling cheerful and
happy.
While this visit was in progress Mr..
Weeks appeared before the justice of
the special session and asked for a
subpoenae duceS tucum compelling the
district attorney to bring with him the
records of the grand jury which failed
to find the Indictment. Assistant Dis

vincing story and was fully corroborat-
ed. and 1 cannot understand how. on
the evidence submitted, the grand jury
refused to indict. Men have been tried,
convicted and executed on less evil
dence.'
1t was stated at the district attorneys

A MONSTER ENGINE.
Largest Locomotive Built For Pas
Senger Service.

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad has recently put into service
the two largest passenger engines ever
constructed. Compared with the Bos-
ton & Albany's big No. 221. the Bur
lington's No. 1881 shows more marked
characteristics than can be guessed at
from the weight difference. The AL
bangs engine weighs 126 tons and the
Burlington's 127 tons; the drivers of
the one are feet inches, and of the
other feet 4 inch. No. 221 hauls a
train weighing $40 tons, and No. 1851
pulls one weighing 81 tons. The COM
pound cylinders of the one are % by "a
inches, and of the other % by "a inches.
No. 221 carries eight tons of coal and
$500 gallons of water: No. 1851 takes
twelve tons Of coal and 5000 gallons of
water. Both have the same steam
pressure of 300 pounds to the square
inch. On its first trip with the Denver
flyer. No. 1851 pulled solid vestibule
train of two mail cars, one composite
library and smoking ear. two sleeping
cars. a dining car and two reclining
chair cars-a load sixty tons in ex-
cess of that drawn by the big eastern
engine.
