streets outside The crowds cheered for Mol

Mr.. Weeks and his eldest son, was caught sight
of walking down the stairs they were surrounded
by mob. who repeatedly called for cheers for
the General He followed all the way up
Centre-st. to the Brooklyn Bridge. where he took
a car for his home Frequently interspersed
with the hurrahs for General Molineux were
cries of Who's the murderer" to which was
shouted the reply, Cornish"
At S:55 O'Clock after five hours and thirty
two minutes of tension and suspense, the cried
shouted Hats off! All take seats!' and all
eyes at once became fixed on the door of the
jury room At $50 o'clock the jury filed in and
took their seats. Mr.. Brown leaning heavily
upon the arm of an attendant and limping pain
fully. Molineux followed quickly, walking fast,
but smiling pleasantly. He shook hands with
his two brothers. At $50 Recorder Golf en-
tered and announced that he had received re-
quest from the jury for the exhibits Of hand
writing both the originals and the enlarged
photographs. The Recorder asked Mr.. Weeks
If he had any objection. and Mr.. Weeks, after
brief conversation with Mr.. Battle, skilfully
picked his way between a refusal and what
might be a dangerous concession by saying:
eff Your Honor is of the opinion that the jury
may legally have them have objection"
No representative OF the District Attorneys
office being present. and therefore no objection
coming from that quarter, the Recorder decided
that the jury might have the exhibits, and d.
rected them in handling them to preserve what
he called "the mastery system of arrangement
devised by the clerk of the court" The jury
promised to do So and filed out again at 91O.
Mr.. Brown had to be lifted from his chair to
his feet by two officers. and was led out between
them. Molineux returned to his cell. At 10:46
the jury sent out a request for two exhibits
which were included in the Recorders first
der but had been inadvertently left out by the
clerk Of the court. The Recorder ordered that
these also be sent to the jury

GENERALMOLLNEUXC CRUSHED
REFUSES TO TALK OF THE VERDICT.
SAYS OF HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAw
"OH! THEY'RE FRUSTRATED"

"OH. THEY'RE FRUSTRATED"
When Tribune reporter called at the home
of General Molineux, No III Fort Greene Place,
Brooklyn, last night, he found the house dark
except for some lights on the second and third
stories. In answer to the doorbell, the General
himself appeared, with a handkerchief in his
hand and his face tear stained.
General I'm from The Tribune" the reporter
said General Molineux seemed to understand
at once the mission. for he quickly replied:
Not even for The Tribune-not even for The
Tribune. which has represented me so fairly.
General. how is your wife and young Mrs
MolineuX?" asked the reporter.
"Oh, they're prostrated!" the pathetic
reply You'll have to excuse me- and the old
man closed and locked the door.
In strong contrast TO the appearance Of the
Molineux home, where all was suffering and
trouble within, was that Of the house next door
where every floor was brightly lighted and a
merry party in progress.

THE TRUE AND ONLY ISSUE.

The true issue and the only issue in this trial
is the guilt or innocence of this defendant. and
you must not compromise the contentious of
counsel, or allow them to enthuse your mind
or distract your attention from that issue
which must be determined by you upon the
evidence and the evidence alone.
The Recorder proceeded at some length to ex-
plain the nature of the indictments found
against the defendant, and also to expound the
law bearing upon those indictments From the
evidence on the case, the Court said, he was OF
the opinion that the acts charged to have been
committed by the defendant would not. il COM
mitted by him, come within the statutory defni
ton of manslaughter in the first or second de-
gree, or Of excusable or justifable homicide, Sc
that unless specially requested by counsel for
the defence he would not charge as TO the de-
grees Of manslaughter as to justihable homi-
eide.
Has the counsel for the defendant ANYTHING
to say?" the Judge asked. turning to Mr..
Weeks.
mo, sir" the counsel replied; nor do we de-
sire murder in the second degree It Is murder
in the first degree or nothing"
Il shall confine myself to murder" the Re
corder continued. "Of course. l should saw in
general terms that the selection of defendants
counsel Of any particular degree of murder 10
be charged TO you is not binding upon the Court
or jury"
The Recorder continued:
If the jury be satisfied that murder has been
committed by the defendant, 1t is within its
power TO determine which of the degrees he is
guilty Of. If, after careful consideration OF
the evidence, they satisfied that he commit
TED murder in the first degree. they should so
declare by their verdict.
But IL they have a reasonable doubt as 10 his
guilt In that degree they must give him the
dement, OK It, and proceed to consider the second
