EXPERTS ON The STAND
They Assert That Molineux
Wrote the Address.
JURYMEN ARE WEARIED
Technical Testimony Made Them Tired.
Witnesses Eiucidate Their Evil
dence With Blackboard
Drawings

New York, Dee. 26.-Handwriting ex-
perts again occupied the time Of Re-
corder Golf and the jury in the trial of
Roland B. Molneux for the poisoning
of Mrs. Katherine j. Adams nearly one
year ago. The first witness the state
called to-day was Henry L. Tolman,
the handwriting expert from Chicago,
who was on the stand at the close of
last fridays session. For half an hour
he talked of handwriting technicalities
and then went to the blackboard for
the purpose of illustrating what he
called a blind leap characteristic
which he claimed was found in all Of
the defendants handwritings, admit
ted as well as disguised.
Recorder Golf finally grew impatient
at the long-drawn-out testimony and
told the district attorney that he did
not see the necessity of having the
witness go through all Of the exhibits.
To this the district attorney assented,
and the evidence of the witness was
accordingly cut as short as possible.
For almost the first time it was no.
ticed this morning that the expert tes-
tiI3lony Of the witnesses seemed to tire
the jurymen. Heretofore they have
been alert and interested, have even
asked questions at times that demon
strated that they had closely followed
the arguments of the handwriting ex-
perts, but this morning they gaZed list
lessly about the court room and at
times glanced AT the clock.
At noon the direct examination OF
Mr. Tolman was finished and his
cross-examination was commenced,
The cross-examinatio ton failed complete
~ to shake the belief of the witness
that Roland B. Molineux wrote the ad-
dress on the poison package.
Daniel T. Ames of San Francisco
testified that he had been student
had testified in the Garfield Morey let
Botkin poisoning case in San Francis
CO. a case like this, in which poison
was sent through the malls. The wit
ness detailed the methods which he
had employed in the examination Of
the handwriting of the defendant and
he then entered into an account Of the
various methods employed by persons
anxious to disguise their handwriting.
Foreman asked the witness what
prominence he gave to the question of
pictorial effect, and in reply the wit
ness said that pictorial effect was not
! the most important point to be con-
siderad. Pictorial effect he said, lies
largely in the slant, and he claimed
that the slant did not materially
change the character of a PERSONS
writing.
At o'clock, with Expert Ames still
on the stand, court adjourned until
tomorrow.

CRIMINAL AGGRESSION.
Thus Senator Jones Chnracter'zes tho Adj
ministrmtion's Philippine Policy.

min Isl ration's Philippine Policy.
st. Paul Dec 2e.-S nator J. K.
Jones, chairman OF the democratic ma
tional committee, ex-Vice President
Stevenson and General P. Wat Hardin
of Kentucky were here to-day and this
afternoon met large gathering of local
democratic leaders. After greetings,
Senator Jones spoke at some length, an
nouncing his views of current political
issues He said:
ct believe that every people have a
right to govern themselves in their own
way. The American people viii rise up
as one man and condemn the course of
the administra ton as criminal agrees
sion. The next democratic convention
will reaffirm the Chicago platform and
nominate Bryan. 1T will de lare against
trusts. 1t will declare in favor of es-
tablishing freedom everywhere. What
our fathers believed in we believe in,
and / have no doubt about the result.
My idea about the Philippines Is tat
it is our duty to restore order there
and then allow those people to make
a. government of their own. and let
them manage their own affair In their
own way. The government Of the Unit
ed States should say to the Filipinos
now. that our purpose Is to establish
peace. We should treat the Filipiros
with the same good faith as the Gu
hans. Whether we will keep faith with
the Cuhans I have my doubts.
'The Roers, by their resistance, are
making votes for us by every rising
and setting of the sun. Our sympathy
goes out to those poor fellows in way
that words cannot express"
Ex-Vice President Stevenson and
General Hardin also spoke along the
same lines. all being optimistic of DEM
ocratic success.

Seattle Wash. Dec 2s.-One of the
most disastrous floods in the history Of
the state Is raging along the Nooksack

mated that already $4,000 worth of

A heavy downpour of ran on last Wed

assigned as the cause Of the disaster.
Heroic efforts were made to save the

THE SENATE PROGRAM NE.
Senator Fairbanks Says Roberts VIII Not
BE Stated. H..


BE Stated.
Indianapolis, Ind, Dee. Ex-senator
Charles w. Fairbanks arrived home to-
day and gave the following interview
out upon the senate programme and
commenting on national questions. He
said:
THE first thing after the holiday re-
cess will be the consideration of the
currency bill. This matter will be ia
ken up on Jan. and there will be In
ali probability month of debate on the
question of its passage 1t viii not take
longer than that, however, and the bill
will pass the senate beyond all doubt.
After that there may be some dis
cussion about the Philippine question,
if the resolutions of Senator Hoar re-
ceive attention. However. the oppor-
tunity for discussing this question will
be given during the next presidential
campaign. II will be enc of the lead
ing questions. The phase of the ques-
ton which will receive attention at the
hands of the senate will be the way to
Immediately cease hostilities and bring
the islands under the subjugation of
the United States. The question of an
nexation will come up afterward and
will be discussed by the people at large
during the next campaign.
'"The investigation of the Roberts
case is in the hands of the court APP
pointed for that purpose and the final
decision will likely be made in the near
future. There can be but one outcome,
and that is that he will be Instructed
to return to the state of Utah."
Has the dispute between the United
States and England concerning the AL
askan boundary been settled YETI"
This matter Is still unsettled, and
negotiations are still pending between
the two countries. Just what definite
shape the matter will assume is not
easily determined"
Mr.. Fairbanks said the sentiment in
favor Of retaining the Philippines is
very strong in Washington and It Is re-
garded as one OF the most important OF
the issues for the coming presidential
campaign. He thinks the money ques-
ton will be one of the issues, but not
the most important.

PARDON REFUSED.
william warlin WIN Have to Serve Out
His Time.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Dec. 2s-William WarlIn,
who was sent to the penitentiary from
Meagher county last September for
one year for stealing an overcoat from
Albert Bluthen at Martinsville, will
have to serve out his time, as Governor
Smith to-day declined to pardon him
as requested by a number of citizens
of that county. 1t appears that, al
Il )ugh Warlin pleaded guilty to the
charge, he claimed, when he was SEN
fenced and since that time, that he was
not guilty; that he took such a course
rather than remain in Jail three months
awaiting trial. In sentencing him the
judge said he hardly knew what to do
with a man who pleaded guilty and
said he was not, but he would give
him the minimum, which was one year.
The governor refused the pardon be-
cause he did not see how he could par
don man who had pleaded guilty.
Sheriff Jabb of Meagher county, Rep
resentative Powell Black and Others
were among the signers of the petition.

tain Region.
Boise Idaho, Dec. 26.-There Is &C
cumulating evidence that the Miller
mountain gold district northeast of
Boise, discovered last summer, Is one
of the best yet found In this state. A
group of claims there was bonded in
the fall to a Boston company which let
q contract for some development work.
This has disclosed on the Magnolia
claim streak of ore so inches wide
that averages about 5000 a ton. The
streak has been opened for 200 feet.
The vein is So feet wide and the ledge
matter al carries gold in paying guam
| titles. A number of prospectors are
working in the district during the win
ter, but they are showed in and very
little news will be heard from them be-
fore February. The news coming out
was brought by men who went in to
work on the contract for the Boston
company. These fought their way out
through the snow. The district ex-
plored is some five miles square and a
large number Of wide veins have been
opened. The ore is uniformaly of a
paying grade. while much is found thar
is very rich.

Big Sporting Goods Manufacturers Go to
the Wall.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 2e.-The John P.
Lowell Arms company and the John Z.
Lowell company, an allied frm, manu-
facturers of sporting goods Of al kinds,
made an assignment to-day Tor the
benefit of creditors.
The firms were heavily indebted to
the Globe National bank, which was
last week placed in charge of temper
airy receiver, and this institution or
rather it's former president, Mf. Cole,
has been represented in the business by
c. w. Norcross, who is said to- haVe
virtually managed the concern for more
than a year past in the interest Of the
bank.
1t has been stated that Mr. Cole, late
president of the bank. exchanged the
paper of the LoYell company for mining
securities, but the fact that Mr.. Nor
cross has remained in charge up to the
present time would seem to cast doubt
upon this story 1t is sad that the
merchandise bills contracted by the
company have been paid as promptly
as those of most business houses, so
the manufacturers who have supplied
them with goods are not large credit
ors, the bulk of the indebtedness being
to banks which have discounted the
companys paper.
Charles B. Barnes, Jr., one OF the as
stgnees, said tonight: The ass!gnees
are unable to give any estimate yet as
to the assets and liabilities and prob
ably will not be able to do so fer some
days. The companies operate stores In
a number of cities from Bangor, Maine,
to Providence. r. l., and they have
large stocks on hand which will have to
be thoroughly examined before the as
signee can discover just what the
financial situation Is"
