Courtroom.
New York. Especial. ROLAND Burnham
Mollneux is guilty.
BY verdict Of 12 OF bis peers, rendered
in his presence in the Court Of General Ses-
eions, he was convicted OF murder in tho
first degree.
The splendid nerve that has characterized
his conduct since the day OF his arrest-more
than year ago-did not desert him Ia his
gravest need.
Erect, with his head tilted far back, every
muscle in his body tense, Molineux stood to
hear his fate.
Gentlemen OF the jury what is your ver-
dict?" said the low, soft voice Of Hecorder
Gon.
I'VE ind the defendant guilty OF murder
In the first degree, came the first answer.
Moineux's slight frame lifted far back,
his eyes opened wider, his head and his
body stiffened.
Through the crowded courtroom passed a
shudder. Women moaned.
'Silenceg' thundered a court officer.
Then, as the individual poll Of the jury
was begun, from out on the street came the
tolllnS OF a clock striking slowly the hour OF
H. Each juror answered to his name in
lrm voice, acquiescing in the verdict.
Molineux still stood facing in turn eaoA
OF the -, his lips tight pressed. his eyes
blazing, his attitude one OF defiance Until
that roll was ended to the spectators ii
seemed dinterminable-did the convicted muir
derer relax.
When the last question had been asked he
took his seat and turned to his lawyer vita
smile Of confidence and bitter irony. At
his sons side, the subllmest figure OF faith
erly devotion that could be pictured, sat
General Molineux. When the crushing YER
diet came that destroyed at once his pride
and hope, the withered hand OF the old sol
dler was raised to the dim eyes as il 10 hide
from them the hideous sight Of ~ men sit
ting Ia judsmen before bin.
Slowly the hand fell, the eyes rested once
on his sons face then closed, and thus re-
mained until the agony was less acute.
When Molineux left the courtroom his step
was not less firm, his bearing not less saintly
than when he entered. lie was followed by
every eye in that crowded court.

SAD STORY
Of Two Old People.
An Internal Machine
Makes Life Miserable.
Buzzes In Their Ears and
They Can Not Sleep.
No Remedy Will Alleviate Their
Suffering.
Authorities Believe That an Inquest
Will be Necessary.

OF the many pitiable cases which
come under the observation of Poor
Director Kendall and his worthy as
sistant, Henry Manderbach, none is
more pathetic than the story of Mr..
and Mrs. j. q. Hartwig, an aged cou-
pie residing at GIG Washington st.
Several months ago, the story was
told in the Democrat, but since that
time the attiiction has increased and
the troubles have rested with greater
weight upon the old people.
The aged couple IL laboring under a
strange hallucination and, peculiarly
enough, both arc similarly affected.
They believe that their neighbors have
an 'infernal machine" which is being
used TO make life burden to them
in their declining years.
According TO the story related to AS
sistant Director Manderbach, the lit
tie machine constantly buzzes in the
ears of the Hartwig couple.
The old people sleep with their head
completely covered, but notwlthstand-
ing their efforts to protect themselves,
the machine is poked into their ears
and they can not sleep. Continued
wakefuness is beginning to show it's
effects upon the aged couple and no
remedy has yet beT discovered that
will give them rest.
Personal visits by The poor author
ities have helped matters temporarily.
The neighbor's imaginary machine has
been broken, but each time, the old
people say, new one, stranger than
the old, is secured.
Tuesday morning Mrs. Hartwig call
ed on Mayor Young. She said that
flast night the machine was directed
ut her heart and the shock nearly
killed her.
The authorities believe that an in
quest will be necessary and the couple
admitted to an institution for the in
game
