CORNlSH'S CHEMICAL FRIEND
shows How Easily MOiineux Could
Have Made the Poison

New York. Jan 3.-In the trial Of Rol-
and B. Molineux for the murder of Mrs.
Katherine ]. Adams, the most interest
ing testimony today was that of John p.
Yocum, chemist and a warm friend Of
Harry Cornish. He said that any chem
ist could make cyanide OF mercury, the
ooison which is alleged 10 have caused
the death OF Mrs. Adams. He had made
it himself and the process was easy He
took Prussian blue and yellow oxide Of
mercury, boiled the mtogether, filtered
the mass and the preci pitate contained
cyanide Of mercury Stih other drugs re-
ouired were what is known as dry col

REACTION N STOCKS
Railroads and SpeciaIties
Close at Losses
OF ONE TO THREE POINTS
Berlin the Financial Worlds
Storm Center.

New York. Jan. 3.-The stock market
was unable today to resist the factors
working towards reaction and closed at
losses both for specialtles and in the
railroads, running from l to points. De-
preston was manifest from the opening
in sympathy with the earlier declines in
London, but the declining tendency was
resisted. A number of the industrial
stocks advanced in a somewhat excited
manner in the first hour and induced a
sympathetic hardening of prices all
through the list. Consolidated Gas jump
ed points on the report of its absorp-
tion of an electric lighting company and
incidental advantages in the local gas
war. American Tobacco rose an extreme
8 points and the Continental Tobacco
shares were strong. Sugar showed a dis
position to continue its advance, and
some of the iron and steel stocks main
tained yesterdays show of strength in
the group. Later in the day there was
vigorous upward movement in New
York Central, with slight sympathetic
response In other Vanderbilt stocks The
isolated points of strength in the mar
ket however, proved entirely insufficient
10 sustain prices IN race OF the constant
dribbling of sales for foreign account and
these for local account which were SEN
timentaliy influenced by the weakness
abroad. A rumor circulated that Lady
smith had capitulated to the Beers. The
effect was significant of what may be ex-
pected from the security market in case
of further reverses TO the British arms
in South Africa, for traders who were
long of stocks hastened to take their
profits in face OF the possibility involved.
The later news of the day made II clear
that the real source Of the days weak
ness was Berlin. Selling from that center
in London and of American securities IN
New York was on a large scale. IL was
based on the weekly return Of the Ger
man Imperial Bank. which showed a loss
sof $10,500 600 in cash, a loan expansion in
face OF this drain OF Sl2. SO000o. and an
addition to the notes in circulation OF up
wards of $39,000.0O0 was an exhibit Of
pressure for credits in Germany which
served rather to startie the financial
world The effect was not apparent, how
ever in the Berlin discount market and
sterling exchange advanced at Berlin, in
spite of further decline in interest
rates in London. Berlin exchange in
New York, however, rose a sharp frac-
ton. The stocks which were strongest
