New York, Jan. a4--Proceedings in the
MolineuX trial up to recess yesterday
were devoted to taking testimony and
hearing counsel as to whether MolineuX
was an accused man at the time of the
inquest. If he was, the recorder ruled
on Monday, the reading of his testimony
before the coroner would be improper.
Coroner Hart testified yesterday that
MollneuX was not accused until after his
own testimony had been given, and the
recorder permitted Prosecuting Attorney
osborne to read the minutes of Moli-
neux's testimony before the coroner
During the whole afternoon session
Mr.. Osborne continued to read from the
testimony of MolineuX as given be-
fore the coroners inquest, and when
the proceedings were adjourned until
today Mr.. Osborne had reached that
part of the testimony Which concerned
the famous robins-egg blue writing pa
per- Two damaging fiat contradictions
between MolneuX's testimony at the
inquest and the evidence produced in
his trial, exist. This vas the reason
why Mr.. Osborne fought 50 hard to get
the testimony admitted. At the cor
oners inquest MolineuX denied ever hav-
ing used or seen any of the tri-crescent
egg-blue paper. In the trial the Burns
letter. signed by Molineux and written
on such paper, was produced and ac-
knowledged by him.
MolineuX also denied at the inquest
that he had ever sent for patent nedi-
cine by mail. This same Burns letter,
signed by Molineux Is an order for a
patent medicine.
Not all of the testimony of MollneuX
at the inquest was read yesterday, but
such portions We're selected us Mr.. Os-
borne desired to bring before the jury.
Among these We're the relations between
Molineux and Cornish al the X. A. c., and
Molineux's testimony as to the causes
and extent of their differences.
The name Of Barnet was brought out
next. 1t was coupled with that of
Blanche Cheseborough. The time that
Miss Cheseborough lived at Mrs. Bells
was spoken of in the testimony and of
her leaving there and going to Mrs.
Belllnger's.
did you ever visit her at Mrs.
Bellinger's up to the time you Were
married? 2"
"t visited her frequently, but she went
away in the summer"
AT the trial testimony was brought out
by Mrs. Bellinger's maid that Molineux
was not known at the West END ave-
nue. house, and that she had never heard
his name until about week before the
marriage took place.
The next point in the testimony
brought out was the relationship be-
tween Barnet and Miss Cheseborough.
Molineux testified that Barnet often
called on her at Mrs. Bellingers and
that he did so with his (Molineux's) ac-
quiescence. There was no jealousy on
his part toward Barnet, he said.
After adjournment Mr. Osborne said he
had three or four more witnesses to call.
New York, Jan. 24.-William F. Miller,
who conducted the $40 percent Frank
lin syndicate in Brooklyn, has been To-
Gated in Canada, and is under surveil-
lance. This informa tion is given out
by the Brooklyn authorities. The police
decline to state in what city or town
Miller is stopping. Miller was indicted
on Nov. "a, in conjunction with his as
sistant, Cecil Leslie, whose whereabouts
is unknown, for conspiracy in obtaining
money through fraud and misrepre-
sentation. This offense is not extradit-
able, and yesterday a new indictment
was found against Miller for embez-
element. The honor of locating Miller
is credited to Captain Price, recently
brought from the tenderloin to take
charge of the Brooklyn detect" hl-
