THE MOLINEUX TRIAL.
Trying to Connect the Defendant
With Raruaf,s naafh

Trying to Connect the Defendant
With Barnet's Death.
New York, Jan. 16.-In the trial of
Roland B. Molineux for the murder of
Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams the prosecu-
ton yesterday introduced testimony to
show the motive for the poisoning of
Henry G. Barnet by Molineux. While
Molineux is not on trial for the MUIR
der Of Barnet, 1t is exceedingly i'm
portant for the prosecution to connect
Molineux with Barnet's death, as show
ing Molineux's character, his letter
writing habits, his use of cyanide Of
mercury to kill those whom he hated.
The testimony yesterday reflected Sc
verely upon the good name Of Mrs,
Molineux, but her husband listened un-
moved.
The prosecution called to the stand
Rachel Green (colored), Of Washing
ton, who testified that she had at one
time lived at 257 West Seventy-fifth
street, where Mrs. Bell lived. Asked If
she knew the defendant, she replied
that she knew Mr.. Chesborough, who
lived there with Mrs. Chesborough.
Asked If she saw Mr. Chesborough In
the room, she stepped up to within
three feet of the defendant and point
ing her finger straight at Mollneux ex-
claimed: That's the man."
When the recorder inquired as to
why the testimony was material As
slstant District Attorney Osborne said:
I'VE have proved that the defendant
lived with Blanche Chesborough (now
Molineux's wife, in 1897, and we still
now prove that he did not after
while. Another man interviewed" He
declared he would prove that man was
Barnet.

IMMINENT D0ycOTTeRS.


DPysa anA Haalsy Haves ostpa efsn
For Trsst Pysnstsrs.
6t. Louis, Jan. 1s.-Coionei william
J. Bryan and President Arthur r. Had
Icy, Of Yale university, were interview
ed yesterday relative to the lattsr's
proposal to ostra0ize trust magnatSs.
Both are agreed on the idea that social
. recognition should bs denied to any
man engaged in q trust or other bust
ness enterprise inimical to the public
welfare. and that public mind should
be educated to see those evils that
exist In the trust system. President
Hadley said:
when people have clearly made I'M
their minds as to what are great So
cial evils ostracism is an effective
remedy. The trouble is that the public
mind is not clear on the matter. My
opinion is that many of the evils COM
monty attributed to trusts do not prop
erly belong there. This Ia where the
public needs education. I do not mean
that every man who Is interested in a
trust should be cancelled from the list
of our acquaintance"
Colonel Bryan said:
"The idea is a good one and should
be encouraged. A man who tries to
rob the public by means of trust or
by wrecking a bank or railroad
should no more be countenanced by
society than plain highwayman.
When the people understand the harm
that there really is in trusts they will
be ready to apply remedy"

though Harry Hunter has not at
tanned his ma jority, he has publish
ed a notice that his wife, Nellie,

bin when the mother was absent.
From the time he left the home of

Europe. He came back uncured of
the love Tor his wife and the elder
Mrs. Hunter yielded.
From that time on till last Sat-

his mother. On Saturday she was

THE LITTLE MINISTER.

| At the Opera House on Thursday
night. We are to have the famous
and beautiful comedy rrhe Little
Minister" This comedy has been
the success of the century, while
this may seem to be very strong
assertion it is borne out by facts.
1t is the thing nowadays if a play
meets with any kind of success at
all and plays for any length of time
in New York or large cities to an
nounce phenomenal runs. but in the
case of The Little Minister which
was seen for 300 nights in New
York, and at every performance by
audience that crowded the theatre
to the doors, it is an assured fact
and one easily to be ascertaincd.
The same success has followed it
since it was seen in New York, and
the business everywhere has been
to the capacity of the theatres. The
company that will produce tine
co re ly here is one OF MIR. Charles
Frohman S and is in all respects Il
most capable one, capable of por-
traying the very difficult charact-
ers so beautifully drawn by Mr..
Barrie. who made the stage adap-
tation of his book. That our thea
tre-goers are going to appreciate
the opportunity which, is to be given
them, and that the theatre will be
crowded during the engagement is
shown by the interest already
manifested, and by the inquiries as
to when the sale of seats will he

Keen nut kindly pen in satiriIing
fads Of everyday lie, but In
none OF them has he been happier
than in the satire on politics "a
Texas Steer" which comes to the
Opera House OH Wednesday night.
In this comedy, from the tuneful en-
trance Of the plantation darkies, as
they come singing through the
Texas chapparel, to the final exit
OF the committee down the back
stairs, ard out through the alley
where they dump the garbage from
the Arlington Hotel kitchen. in
Washington, d. c., one laugh ne
situation follows another, and each
stroke Of wit becomes wittier, and
interest in the fortunes OF the Brand
er family never fingers nor flags
for a moment, while the frailties of
our system of politics are held up
to view in most humorous man
ner. Mr.. Hoyt has interviewer into
"a Texas Steer" pretty little

ishness to intrude among the laughs
while tear startling pathos has also

tide setting so strongly towards
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT brought
within his reach by reason of his
p litical position, that he is unable

matter of course things that would
have shocked him before his advent

of his state is so eloquently couched
In words, so noble that it stands
out a pathetic appeal for his hilar-
ious fellow citizens. The company
that will present Mr.. Hoyts most
successful comedy on this occasion
is one of the best that has ever been
seen in it and the engagement
promises to be the laughing event
Of the season.

CHILDREN OF TIE GHETTO.

" CHILDREN OF THE GHETTO.
! Mr.. Zangwill's play "Children of
fhc Ghctto,' which comes to the
Grand Opera House Saturday night
has probably attracted more gen.
ira attention throughout the Unit
I'd States and England than any
play that has been produced dur
ing the present generation. AS a
literary production the most schol-
arly critics have conceded that it
lis play that has never been equal
ed. While Mr.. Zangwill has sought
10 depict life in the Jewish quarter
pf London, he has made his play
extremely realistic to Americans
Tor in the large cities Of the United
States there Is almost an exact
counterpart Of what ID known in
London as "Petticoat Lane" the
historical thoroughfare OF the He
brew quarter. The Hebrew locality
In London is as distinctive a fea.
lure of that city as what Is termed
Ahe "French Quarter" Of New Or
Means In this country. Mr.. Zangwill
has given In his play afaithful por-
krayal Of the scenes, customs and
beculiarities Of tho section about
which he has written and made it
fairly breathe with action, and life
Il it really exists there. The COM
pany presenting the play has sell
nom been equalled in the United
States. The same cast that pro-
Ruced the play in this country and
10 England will be seenin this city.
THE identical wealth which has
been recognized as a distinctive
geatare of the play will also be used
here. 1t requires two cars of more
than ordinary size to transport the
necessary stage accessories. The
Company is headed by Wilton
Lackaye an actor whom the people
recognize as the leading exponent
Of highest class dramatic art.
Some idea may be gained as to the
volume of interest that has been at
tracted to this play when it is
known that more than $4,000 columns
Of the usual length and breadth of
an ordinary newspaper have been
printed about il. This does not in
Guide what may have been written
about it from an advertising point,
but written by persons who have
seen it. 1t deals with a subject
heretofore untouched by any dra-
matte author and therefore it has
attracted unusual attention. 1t is
q play that everybody should see.
1t appeals to no sec $ and to no par
ticular race of people, but it is bas-
ed upon the religion practiced by
one OF the most ancient races Of the
world. While it is written upon a
high literary plane its simplicity is
one of it's greatest points. 1t re-
guires more than forty people to
present the play as Leibler a. Co.,
are doing it.
