Buffalo. N. T.. June 1s.-Before the Court
OF Appeals to-day. arguments were made
for and In opposition to a new trial for
Roland Burnham Molineux. who stands
convicted Of having poisoned Mrs. Gather
Inc Adams. causing her death. John G.
Milburn argued for Molineux, while ex-
Senator David b. Hill appeared for the
State and opposed the granting Of a new
trial.
General Molineux. father of the con-
victed man. sat throughout the argument
and listened as though fascinated. while
tears trickled down his cheeks. while Sena-
tor Hill. in a direct and convincing way.
presented the peoples side of the case.
Mr.. Hill was in splendid voice. and carried
his auditors away with his powerful plea
for the death Of the old soldiers son.
Mr.. Milburn asked the court for an extra
hour in order that he might complete his
case The request was granted. and Mr..
Milburn. addressing the court. said:
He never once wrote in his natural hand.
He wrote with kinsley's pens and paper and
at kinsley's dictation- Kinsley rejected

Mr.. MilbUrn.
Handwriting Experts Denounced.
Mr.. Milburn ridiculed the phraseology of
the handwriting experts. He referred con-
temptuously to the phrases pen pressure
and pen habit" He declared the experts
had a psychology all their own. "kinsley
was not a proper Witness" he said. This
case rests on Kinsley and his fellow experts.
The manufactured specimens of handwrit-
Ing obtained from the defendant were i'm
properly secured and used"
Mr.. Milburn spoke for fifteen minutes On
the statute governing the admission Of
handwriting. weaving his argument Oh the
statute word genuine" which Il applied
to the sort of evidence to be admitted. "Can
the sort Of testimony adduced at the Mol
ineux trial be called genuine exhibits
he asked.
Says Trial Was Not Fair.
There can be 10 comparison betwe. IN dis

ineux did not have a fair trial. In my twen-
ty-five years experience have never had
occasion to speak in this manner before.
The Recorder. from the beginning to the
end of this case. acted as an active partici-
pant in the prosecution. He conducted the
trial. not only making suggestions TO the
District Attorney. but putting witnesses On
the stand himself.
TIE District Attorney was allowed the
widest latitude; while Mr.. Weeks was
called Gnprofessicnal ard his conduct repre-
