Important Ruling.

The! ages between which children
may be received into the model de-
partments of normal schools may be
established by the state normal board,
according to a ruling made by the at
torney general. The question asked
of the superintendent or public in
struction by the normal board was
whether it had the power to include
in the curriculum of it's model schools
the kindergarten department, and re-
ceive into the latter pupils of less
than five years, which admits children
to the general schools. The attorney
general holds that it may, inasmuch
as it does not participate in the appor-
tionme emit fund or benefit by special
tax levy, in the absence of any limi-
tation fixed by the legislature.

Recorder Golf in pronouncing SEN
tence reminded the defendant that his
counsel had already presented all the
facts to the jury and that the court
has but the one duty to perform.
Directly after sentence had been pro-
nounced Molineux was taken back on
his way to the Tombs. Almost before
he had left the court room, Mr.. Battle
served notice of appeal upon District
Attorney Gardiner and upon the chief
clerk.
SING SING, N. Y, February 16.-
Roland B. Molineux is now in a con-
demned cell in the murderer's row at
Sing Sing prison, having arrived here
this afternoon. There was a curious
crowd about the station. Molineux ap-
peared cool and did not seem to notice
the crowd. Molineux was taken at
once to the death house, where he took
leave of his father, his brother and
Lawyer Battle, who had accompanied
him from New York. He maintained
his wonderful nerve and shook hands
with each and in parting with his
father said:
Goodbye, Governor"
Gen. MoIineux bore up bravely but
showed that he was passing through a
fearful ordeal.

The preliminary hearing of George
Hunt, of West Liberty, on the charge
of numbering Harvey Wells, a neigh
Dor. was conducted all day yesterday
before Justice w. W. Rogers, in the
Circuit Court room at the Court House.
The hearing began al II o'clock in the
morning, and at 5 o'clock in the even
ing was adjourned owe until this
morning at II o'clock. The court
room was crowded during the time
OF the hearing. Hunt, the prisoner,
appeared calm and collected through
out the day. Prosecuting Attorney
Meyer appeared for the State and At
torneys S. o. Boyce and Addleman, of
this city, and Attorney Dunlap, OF
West Liberty, for The defense.
There was nothing more brought out

been published. The witnesses for
the State were Joseph R. Mccullough,

West Liberty, and Or. B. F. Harden,
of Wellsburg.
The first three, who were eye-wit-
nesses of the assault committed on
Wells by the defendant on November
II, 1899, testified that Hunt and
Wells had an alteration in Ferris's
store in West Liberty. Hunt took a
good-sized pike stone from his pocket
and throwing it at Wells, struck him
on the head near the left ear, knock
ing him down.
The doctors testimony was the
same as was given before the coro-
ner's inquest. DR.. Jobes, who was
merely a bystander at the post mostem
examination, gave as his opinion that
it was very improbable that the blood
clot on the brain, which resulted in the
death Of Wells, could have taken from
November 18th until February 10th
to form.
Nicholas Murray. a justice of the
peace of Liberty district, Frank Bla-
ney and George Biggs testified for
the defense. Their testimony was
that Wells was drunk and was fol-
lowing Hunt about, trying to pick a
quarrel. Justice Murray admonished
Wells to stop quarreling, but he
(Wells) would not stop. Biggs, who is
an uncle of the defendant, stated on
cross-examination that he advised
Hunt not to hit Wells unless he had
to, but if he did, give it to him good.
The hearing was then adjourned I'M

Mr.. Weeks moved for a new trial
on the ground that the verdict was
