When the sneezing and run

been checked; when the sore
ness in the throat and chest and
the STIFFNESS in the head were
gone, you thought you would
have a chance to get some rest.
Oh, No! Grip will not let go
his hold on you so easily. You
are filed with aches and pains
in your bones, in your chest,
in your spinal cord and in your
brain. Your nerves are weak
and irritated, you cannot sleep,
your appetite is gone and you

stir such as the courtroom had not re-
Gently seen. There was large attend
ance, made up in great part of women.
The line of seats at the defense'S table
was filled for the first time. Mrs.
Blanche Chesebrough Molneux. wife of
the defendant, and Mrs. General Moli-
neux, his mother, We're present. and the
prisoner upon his entrance welcomed
them with demonstration of affection.
AS soon as the court was ready to hear
him Attorney Weeks moved to strike out
exhibit l, the diagnosis. md to direct the
jury to disregard it as incompetent Re
corder Golf denied the motion. He how
ever. directed the jury to disregard ey-
erything i'll the diagnosis but the hand
writing and the measurements.
Mr.. Weeks then asked that the prose-
cution be directed to declare on which in
dictmcnt it would elect to go before the
jury These indictments are the murder
of Mrs. Adams, assault upon Mrs. Ad-
ans. attempt to poison Harry Cornish and
assault upon Cornish. The court denied
this motion also.
Then Mr.. Weeks sprung his sensation.
Argument by Osborne.
At first there was hush. Then came
torney Osborne then made an argument
to the effect that he was entitled to go
to the jury on any of the counts of the
Indictment. The recorder asked Mr.
Weeks to read his motion again.
The motion was to the effect that the
prosecution be directed to rely on some
one of the counts. Mr.. Weeks said that,
in his opinion, Mr.. Osborne had really
made an election to go to the jury on the
count that the murder of Mrs. Adams
was committed while the defendant was
committing "A felonious assault upon Cor
nish. The defense had accepted that
view, and in justice, Mr.. Weeks said,
the prosecution ought to be restricted to
this count. Recorder Golf, however, still
denied the motion.
Mr.. Osborne asked that the court in.
struct the jury to disregard DIR. Frazer's
testimony on the measurements he made
under the microscope. This the court
did and also instructed the jury to dis
regard the testimony of Rachel Green
the colored woman. who testified that
the defendant and his wife had, before
their marriage, lived together as Mr.. and
Mrs. Chesebrough. Mr.. Osborne had fail
ed 10 show, he said, that it was relevant
MIR. Weeks then proceeded to sum UP.
Mr.. Weeks emphaticalIy denied that
the people had proved their case. He
said the prosecution Ind not proved that
Molneux sent the poison package. 1t
was not proved that Molineux had pur
chased the bottle holder.
Mr. Weeks spoke convincingly. Mr..
Osborne was too greatly surprised by
MIR. Weeks action to follow closely all
the points made.
Molineux himself was radiant, but his
wife and mother We're in tears. Even
the audience was moved by the words OF
Mr.. Weeks. When Mr.. Weeks shouted

forsee andsfortel them. Already the
city is involved in costly litigation, grow
ing out of this legislation. The Oxy-
Hydrogen case has been pending for ten
years, and during greater portion OF
that time has been in the hands of spe-
cial counsel. The Wilmington City
Railway Company has case pending in
which it seeks to have action of the
Street and Sewer Directors set aside; and
it is asserted will have suit against the
city growing out Of the same action. The
Wilmington and Brandywine Springs
Railway Company had a similar suit in
court, and has apparently been able to
slip out of it to allow the city to hold
the bag and pay the score. 1t is asserted
that one object of the grant made yester-
day to the Universal Light, Heat and
Power Company is to completely shut
the Oxy-Hydrogen Company out of the
streets of this city and make COM
pletely valueless large and costly
plant, shat, because of the action
of the Street and Sewer Directors,
has been idle for ten years. That
this company's rights must be ultimate
ly respected and guaranteed, is beyond
dispute; the responsibility for the loss en-
tailed must be fixed and the injury done
repaired. The apparent way to bring
this about is by litigation. That has al
ready begun, and it is a case in which
the city is defendant. It's defense will
doubtless be costly, and the loss of its
case must greatly increase that cost. In
this respect the legacy left the city by
the Street and Sewer Department is not a
pleasant one to contemplate. Adding to
the unpleasant features of this con-
temptation are the increased evidences
of the coming OF vast and far reaching
monopoly, in which the existing railway
companies, electric and gas companies,
will consolidate-will pool their interests
against the people Of this city.

RESTS ON STATE EVIDENCE
Declayes, in Summing up Evidence

His Client is the

New York, Feb. 6.-Shortly after the
spening of the Molineux trial the defense
sprang great surprise by resting its
case on the evidence taken by the state.
Attorney Barlow s. Weeks, for the de-
fense, stated that the prosecution had not
proved that Roland B. Molineux murder

After very careful consideration of
the evidence in this case" said he, 1--WE
believe that the state has failed to make
out case, and We rest the case on that
ground"
