BARRELS OF POISON.

One of the most important witnesses
was Charles D. Allan, MolineuXs private
secretary. 1t was Allan who signed let
ters for Molineux, per sc. D. A." He
had studied chemistry and had served in
the laboratory of Molineux. Asked If there
were many poisons in the laboratory, he
replied
YES barrels Of them"
-- Among the poisons which he men
toned specifically were Paris green,
chrome yellow, English vermilIion, dry
arsenic in kegs and quantities of mer-
curry.
Allan testified to a letter which he
wrote to the Studio Publishing COM
pany, 1920 Broadway, New York city,
signed "Rolald B. Molineux. per c. D.
A." as one that he wrote personally. He
claimed that Molineux was looking for the
names of consumers of dry coiors. The
letter was written according to tnstruc-
tons, in the ordinary course of business,
but the significance of the incident lies
in the fact that 1920 Broadway is the
address of the Koch letter box agency,
and it Is claimed that it was from Ehis
letter that Koch learned the address of
Molineux and sent the defendant cir
cular Offering to lease a private letter
box-an offer which 1t Is claimed Mo-
lineux afterwards accepted. The witness
would not swear, however, that Molineux
ever saw the letter to the Studio Pub
fishing company, but he did testify that
he saw a copy of the magazine sent for,
on the desk of MolineuX, on the opening
UP Of the correspondence.
w. B. Mitchell, loan clerk of the Chase
National bank, and practical handwrit-
ing expert, in response to questions, tes-
titled that, in his opinion, the address
on the poison package was written by
Molineux.
David c. Decker, paying teller Of the
Union Square bank, entertained similar
opinions.
The handw riting expert testimony of
the day was wound up when Paying
Teller Savers, of the Shoe and Leather
National bank. again appeared on the
stand aid was cross-examined by Mr..
Weeks. a cross-examinatioll which. how
ever, failed to shake his belief In the
guilt of MolineuX.
The last witness OF the day was Lewis
Fl. Cornish ii cousin of Harry s.. Cor
nfsh. also a cousin of Mrs. Florence Rog-
ers. the daughter of the dead woman.
He testified that Harry Cornish was Ill
when he called upon the witness to in
form him of the death Of Mrs. Adams,
and upon cross-examinarlon by Mr..
Weeks the witness admitted that Mrs.
Adams became i'll while he was paying
visit to her house about two weeks
before her death.

Stand-His Testimony Adds Little

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-First on the wit

Molineux, was Paying Teller Gilbert D.
Sayers, of the Shoe and Leather bank.
who was being crosS-eXamined by Mr..
Weeks when court adjourned last evening.
He was, however, excused until this after
noon on account of a pressure of business
at the bank.
Frank S. Hunt. of Newark, N. j., tailor,
who made the suit of clothes for Molineux,
testified that the chest measurement was
thirty-seven inches and his waist meas
urement was thirty-two inches. The evil
dence is considered significant, because of
the fact that these measurements indirect
ly connect MolineuX with the writing on
the diagnosis blank furnished by the
Marston Remedy company, which was
signed III. C. Barnet"
the day was William Shelter, a manufac-
turer Of cosmetics He identified the letter
sent by MolineuX to Mrs. Shelter inform
ing her that he was to be married next
day; that the marriage was sudden; that
it was quite a romance, in fact. This par
ticular letter was addressed my Dear
Sadie" and, on account of the high social
standing of Mrs Shelter, and the fact
that the district attorneys office obtained
possession Of the correspondence In a
fashion most mysterious, the incident has
attracted considerable attention. Mr..
Shelter said that he and his wife had
known MolineuX for four or five years
that MolineuX had taken tea at his house
and that he was friendly with the de-
PENDANT. Nothing was elected that would
have a tendency to throw light upon the
manner in which the district attorney OBJ
tanned possession of letters belonging to
the wife of the witness.
Letters from Molineux to Shelter were
also placed in evidence and identified by
the witness Mr.. Shelter explained the
sentence Cornish is in and l am out"
which appears in one of the letters, as
meaning that the defendant had resigned
from the Knickerbocker Athletic club,
while Cornish still remained there in an
official capacity.
Howard A. Adams. son of the late Mrs.
Adams, testified in details concerning the
incidents which occurred at the Adams
home on the day of the murder. He az.
serted emphatieally that his mother did

1t Emanates From Chinese Officials
Two Foreigners Escape

London. July 13.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
the following story, regarding the
position i'll Pekin, emanates from
Chinese official sources:
The two remaining legations-the
British and Russian-were attacked
in force on the evening of July 8,
Prince Tuan being in command. The
attackers We're divided. Prince Tuan
commanded the center, the right
wing was led by Prince Tsai Yin, and
the left by Prince Yin Lin. The re-
serves were under Prince Tsin Yu.
The attack commenced with
artillery fighting, which was severe
and lasted until Z o'clock III the
morning, by which time both lega-
tions were destroyed and all the for
eioners were dead. while the streets
around the legations were full of the
dead bodies of both foreigners and
Chinese.
On hearing of the attack Prince
Ching and Gen. Wan Wen Shao went
with troops to assistance OF the for
eigners, but they were Outnumbered
and defeated. Both Prince Ching
and Gen. Wang Wen Shao were kill
ed.
Two foreigners are said to have
escaped through the gates, one with
a heavy sword wound in his head.
Prince Tuan, in celebration of the
victory, distributed 100000 taels
and huge quantities of rice to the
boxers.

Lincoln on Mckinley's Policy.

The republican national platform
promises to the people of the Philip
pines 1.-THE largest measure of self
government consistent with their
welfare and our duties.
Abraham Lincoln disposed of this
specious plea, used in his time, as it
has been in every time, by the apol-
ogists OF government without the
consent of the governed. In the
course of one of his famous series OF
speeches, replying to Douglas, the
hrst Republican president said:
These arguments that are made,
that the inferior races are to be treat
eel with as much allowance as they
are capable OF enjoying; that as
much is to be done for them as their
condition will allow-what are these
arguments? They are the arguments
that kings have made for enslaving
fhe people in all ages of the world.
lou will find that all the arguments
mtavor of kingcraft were OF this class /;
that they always bestrode the necks
OF the people, not that they wanted
TO do it, but because the people were
better OH for being ridden. Turn it
whatever way you will, whether it
come from the mouth of a king, an
excuse for enslaving the people OF the
country, or from the mouth OF men
OF one race for enslaving the men OF
another, it is all the same old ser
pent.
