Jury In the Molincux Gaze.
Prisoner Cool.
Few YORK, Feb. 12.-All of the MEM
bers of the jury that found Molineux
guilty Of first degree murder, owing to
the poisoning Of Mrs. Katherine J..
Adams, refused to answer definite ques-
tions as to what had transpired in the
jury room, but one of them, desirous Of
imparting some information regarding
the final proceedings of the celebrated
case, made statement, saying irf part:
If were going TO write as reporter about
IT, l would probably commence by saying the
Jury was unit upon the guilt Of the defend
ant; that one two, or perhaps three Of them,
however, thought 1t well to go through the
case, discuss the various phases of it, and see II
the evidence, beyond most reasonable doubt,
would warrant such a verdict. Understand
this is all under the supposition that am act
ing as reporter and writing about something
! am trying to guess about. I would probably
explain the length Of time the jury was out, by
this: That by the time the two or three par
hcularly interested men, in reviewing the case,
had gone over it with. great care, assisted by
careful notes, and the remaindes Of the jurors
made few comments, nine hours were con
sumed.
HE slept like child" was the way
the warden put it, referring to Mohneux
after his return to his cell from the
court room on Saturday night. Sunday
he arose at the usual hour, took exercise
for one hour in the prison yard, ate the
breakfast supplied by the prison caterer
and read with composure the morning
newspapers, after which he attended the
usual Sunday services.
The condemned man had but one yisi-
tor Sunday, his grief-stricken and ven
cradle father, who has not vet given up
hope, and expects that the higher courts,
which will be appealed to, will free his
son. Gen. Molineux arrived at the
prison about $50 o'clock Sunday morn
ing and remained with the prisoner for
about half AN hour.
During the day young Molineux re-
manned in his cell in murderers' row.

Boston, October ga civil suit which
has been of considerable interest in this
vicinity, was ended this afternoon by a
jury verdict for George A. Ulmer, the
defendant, who was sued for $40, 600
damages, sby his brother, Edwin Ulmer,
because of alleged assault and incarcera-
ton in an insane asylum. The case
hinged considerably on the mental con-
dition of the plaintiff as justification for
the care taken of him by his brother.
Testimony was completed in the case
this morning. Counsel Bartlett made
hs argument for the defendant, George
A. Elmer. The defence consists~in a
general denial and justification.
DIR. Charles P. Vaughn Of Everett WAS
the first witness called. He said he had
seen the plaintiff in Chelsea in June,
1897. Did not remem Der having seen
him before this. Cross-examined, he
testified as to the plaintiffs condition
at the time mentioned.
Mrs. Sarah N. UImer, mother Of both
plaintiff and defendant, said she was at
the home in Chelsea when the plaintiff
came there early in 1897. Plaintiff slept
at the house the night he came. Wit
ness saw the plaintiff leave the house at
this time. No violence was used. Mr..
LAYERS asked the only question in cross
examination: "Is the defendant in this
case supporting you?'' asked Mr.. LAYERS.
He is, - was the answer.
Mrs Eva f. Hartford OF Portland, a
daughter OF Mrs. Wiggin, said she saw
Merrill Place, the temporary nurse or
keeper of the plaintiff, when the la tier
got into the carriage at Portland. No
force was used, she said, nor did she
hear any profanity.
W. Edwin Ulmer, the plaintiff, took
the stand after this, while Mr.. LAYERS
asked some questions. Counsel BARTLETT
interposed a number of objections. The
plaintiff said he did jump off the train
at North Berwick as the defendant has
stated. The plaintiff left the home in
Chelsea because the defendant was very
violent and swore at him.
Miss Eta Buckley, stenographer of
the plaintiff, Mrs. Barron, the sister of
the same, Miss Lizzie A. Seule and Miss
Bibber were all addressed questions by
the plaintiff in rebuttaI, there being
some Contradictions of previous testi-
mony.
: Counsel Bartlett then addressed the
jury. w. Edwin UImer, the plaintiff,
argued his case in the afternoon.

Egypt was pretty thoroughly canVassed
by william j. Bryan today. Fourteen
addresses vera made from seven clock
in the morning, when the first speech at
Salem was delivered, until the train bear

Of Alton at nearly midnight. AT every
meeting the candidate was greeted with
hearty demonstrations. At East st.
Louis, Mr.. Bryan and Governor Roose-
velt passed each other. Governor Roose-
velt addressed a meeting there, while Mr..
Bryan went on to Alton. The whole
south Of Egypt was we'll represented In
Cairo, when the Bryan train arrived.
There had been excursions from the
neighboring towns and villages and the
result was large crowd to welcome the
Democratic nominee. He was driven to
u stand erected near the center of the
city. His speech was devoted mainly to
the trusts, although the question OF a
large standing army and the question Of
Imperialism each receiyedsssome attention
at his hands. Jonesboro was the next
stop and Mr. Bryan spoke at that place
for fif5een minutes.
