that the infection is demoniao enough

The worst feature of the trusts
in their plundering is the fact that,
almost without exception, they
charge their American patrons
more than they do the people Of
other countries. Their prices are
higher ut home because of their
monopoly of the market; while
abroad, where they are met by
competition, they reduce their
charges. If there were any doubt
rs TO their injustice, or as To the
fact that their existence is due to
the conditions prevailing in this
country, and this country alone,
the trusts themselves furnish it by
the lower prices at which they sell
their products in England than i'm
the United States. This fact has
come To- light very c0nspicuOuslv

manufactured goods have incrcas-

MOIineux' Chances.

favorable every day for the grant
ing of a new trial in the Molineux
case. The admission of certain
evidence that it is claimed was not
applicable to the case will be one
of the main points relied on for
the granting of the new trial, and
it is generally regarded if another
trial is granted it will be almost
impossible to convict.
More than twenty years ago al
most a similar case was tried in
Madison county, New York, in
which a woman was arrested for
the murder of her mother. She
was defended by Gerrit A. Forbes,
now a justice of the supreme court
of that state. During the trial
evidence was admitted that the
woman's father had died suddenly,
and it was suspected that he had
been poisoned. The body of the
father was exhumed and arsenic
was found in it. Then it was al
legged that an aunt of the accused
woman had died mysteriously, and
evidence was admitted to show
that she, too, was the victim of
arsenic. The defendants counsel
protested against the admission of
any testimony relative to the faith
er and aunt. He declared it had
nothing to do with the case. He
was Overruled, however, and the
woman was convicted. The case
was appealed, and the higher court
sustained the contention that evil
dence relative to- the death of the
father and aunt was improperly
admitted. There was, therefore, a
new trial granted.
MOlineuX was convicted of pOis-
Oning a woman named Adams.
The state introduced evidence that
a man named Barnet had died
from poison like that given to the
Adams woman. 1t contended that
Molineux had poisoned Barnet as
well as Mrs. Adams. The theory
was that Mrs. Adams was poisoned
by mistake, that the poison she
took was intended for IA man
named Cornish. The death of
Barnet was introduced to show Il
motive for the sending of poison
package to Cornish. The theory
of the state was that MOlineuX got
rid of his enemies by means of a
poison which he knew how To
manufacture. lie poisoned Bar
net, it is claimed, because of his
attentions to the woman MOlineuX
subsequently married, and he
hated Cornish because of trouble
between them growing out of the
affairs of the club with which both
were connected. 1t Is assumed
that Judge Forbes, having taken
the position in the case first above
mentioned, that it was improper
To Introduce evidence To show that
the woman had poisoned her faith
er and her aunt, as well As her
mother. will take the position. when
the MolincuX case reaches the SUI
preme court, that evidence of the
death of Barnet by poison was in
admissible.
