WILL REMAIN LOUISVILLE.
Democratic Legislators Not Ready to
30 10 Frankfort

Louisville Feb. 10-The collapse of the
peace negotiations through Gov. Taylor
rejection of the Louisville agreement,
and the latters action in calling off the
London Legislature and partially with
drawing the troops, have left the fight
over state offices divested of many OF its
warlike features, but in a worse legal tan
gle than ever.
The receipt Of the news from Frankfort
this afternoon was followed Immediately
by a gathering of the Democrats leaders.
At this conference were Senator Black
burn, Gen. Castleman President Carter
Of the Senate, Speaker Trimble and 9TH
ers. At its conclusion Gov. Beckham sent
to the Legislature a a,message reciting the
failure Of the peace negotiations and the
conditions existing at Frankfort as seen
by him and recommending that the
Legislature continue its sessions in
Louisville as he could not guarantee their
personal security nor protect them from
unwarranted Interference at Frankfort.
Acting upon this suggestion. the Legis-
lature decided to remain in Louisville for
the present and both houses adjourned to
meet at the Court House Monday at noon.
1t is probable a joint resolution which
was offered to-day will then be adopted,
calling for the appointment of committee
to investigate the conditions at Frankfort
as far as they affect the safety of the
legislators
The members do not accept Gov. Tay-
lors action in ordering away part of the
troops as restoring order under which they
may return TO the Capitol. They say they
would feel safer with the militia there
than with the irresponsible armed noun
taineers who for weeks have been gather
ing about the state buildings" left TO
menace them.
The positions are irreconcllable and
while they are maintained, a clash can
only be deferred
The Democratic Legislature held two
sessions to-day, with quorum in each
house. At the first some minor legislative
business was disposed of. At the second
Gov. Beckhams message was read.

cries.
Confident II WIFI stand

Regarding the verdict, Assistant District
Attorney Osborne said:
Il am confident that the verdict will
stand. Upon the presentation of the case
as furnished me by the police department
there could not have been any other YER

Barlow S. Weeks, Molineuxs counsel,
would say nothing about the verdict.
Harry Cornish said
I do not see how any twelve men could
near the evidence given and render any
other verdict. | cannot say anything else
about the verdict, and furthermore will

Verdict Great Surprise.
The announcement of the verdict of
guilty was received in the uptown dis
tricts and about the clubs apparently with
great surprise. Many of the club men
seemed to be staggered by the announce
ment and it was the main topic for dis
cussion for the night.
During Recorder Gcffs charge 10 the
jury, which was quite lengthy and in great
detail he stopped and asked Lawyer
Weeks if he wished him to define the vari-
Gus charges of mansaughter and murder.
Mr.. Weeks answered that he did not that
it was murder in the first degree or moth
ing. Without defining the crimes of man
slaughter and murder, Recorder Golf con-
tinued by saying:
"If you think a witness has testified
falsely you are not compelled to reject all
of his testimony; you may reject all of it
or only part as you deem proper You
may find a verdict of murder in the first
or second degree, but you must not use
your power capriclously."
The recorder went over the indictment
and its several counts and then said:
"If you find that Molineux sent the poi
son, he is just as guilty as if Cornish had
died instead of Mrs. Adams"
AS the jurors were leaving their seats,
Recorder Goff called them back and said
he had forgotten to comment on one thing
which counsel had done. That was the
appearance in court of the family of the
defendant. Gen. MoHneux," he said, Il
want you to remember, is not on trial"
1t is said the trial has cost S20O.O0).
