aries monthly as far as the funds would
allow, which, last year, was about two
1ifths one-ffth being paid for each of the

money would be borrowed if it was not in
the treasury, but Commissioner Glenn

MOlineux Case.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19,-The unexpected
happened today in the trial of Roland
B. MolineuX, and the prosecution did
not rest its side of the case as conflden-
TALLY expected yesterday by Assistant
District Attorney Osborne. Court ad-
journed until Monday, after the prosecu-
ton had proceeded to gather up the fag
ends of the case, one reason for the delay
being the desire of the state to have

medical firm sent book to Barnet ct
Heckmans letter box agency.
Hickman had testified that Molineux
had rented box in Barnet's name, and,
after he had done so, had made some cor
rections with a pen to letter he had
in his hands. The prosecution thinks II
it can prove that two different kinds OF
ink were used, it will have conclusive
proof that Hickman was speaking the
truth.
This course of procedure was suggested
by question asked by the foreman OF
the jury Of the witness on the stand.
DR.. Douglass being recalled, some pas
-at-arms occurred between District
Attorney Osborne and DR.. Douglass, al
though the medical man appeared as a
witness for the prosecution. In his for
mer hearing DR.. Dougless testified that
his patient, Barnet, had not died from
cyanide of mercury poisoning. However,
Mr. Osborne scored a point by showing
that a powder had been sent through the
mali to Barnet.
