The San Francisco call., 1901-10-16

was convicted the InuTOeT Ol
Catherine J. Adams in New York
City and sentenced to death. The court
grants a new trial on a prevailing opin-
ion written by Judge Werner Of Roches-
ter, his principal ground being that the
lower court erred in admitting evidence
as to another alleged crime, the death of
Barnett, and thus merged two issues.
Justices Parker, Haight and Gray did
not believe that the Barnett evidence
should be kept entirely out of the case.
Judges Werner, Bartlett, Wann and
O'Brien concurred in the prevailing opin-
ion and for the expunging of the Barnett
testimony.
The court gave, out a condensed state
ment Of the reasons for granting the new
trial 1t says:
Statement by the Court
Every member of the Court Of Appeals
agrees for the reversal of the judgment
Of conviction of Molineux on the ground
that the trial court erred in receiving in
evidence the declarations of Barnett made
to Doctors Phillips and Douglass that he
had received Kutnow powders through the
mail.
"All agree that since the amendment Of
section of chapter Sc Of the laws of 1880,
by chapter 55 of the laws of 1888, genuine
writings may be received in evidence as
standards Of comparison with a disputed
writing, although such writings may not
be the issue Of trial, but simply a fact
relevant and material to that issue; that
the genuineness of such writings must be
established to the satisfaction of the court
by common law evidence, and when that
is done handwriting experts may compare
the disputed writings with the genuine
writings and give their opinion thereon,
but they cannot select and establish the
standards of comparison and then COM
pare them with the disputed writings.
Admission Of Writings.
"All writings proved to the satisfaction
of the court by a preponderance of evil
dence in civil cases, and beyond reason
able doubt in criminal cases, % by wit
nesses who saw the paper written or to
whom it had been acknowledged; C0 by
witnesses familiar with the handwriting
Of the person charged to be the writer
and who able to testify from their
familiarity to a belief respecting it's gen.
uineness; 90 where the writing is shown
to have been recognized and acquiesced in
by the person supposed to have written it,
or adopted and acted upon by him in his
business transactions or concerns, may
under the statute be compared with the
disputed writing by witnesses. But the
court should refuse to receive in evidence
solely for the purpose of comparison any
writing otherwise prejudicial to the de-
fendant"

Difference of oninion

The only subject about which the mem
bers of the court differ in their opinion
relates to the testimony introduced tend
ing to show that Molineux caused the
death of Barnett by the same method as
that used in taking the life of Mrs.

Adams. Four members of the court
Q Brien, Bartlett, Wann and Werner,
agree that the evidence should not have
been received and the reason for it is
stated in the opinions written by O'Brien
and Werner.
The other three Judges, Parker (Chief
Justice), Gray and Haight, hold that the
evidence is admissible in that the evil
dence in the Barnett case pointing toward
Molineux tends to identify him as the
person who killed Mrs. Adams while at
tempting to take the life of Cornish by
means Of that rare poison known as cya-
nide Of mercury, the Chief Justice and
Judge Gray writing opinions to that effect
Molineux Not Informed.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15-Up to o'clock
this evening Roland B. MoIineux, in Sing
Sing Prison, had not been informed that
he had been granted new trial General
Molineux reached Sing Sing early in the
evening, but it was then too late for him
to go to the prison, as the doors close for
son adhered to his decision not to disclose
the news to the prisoner until officially
notified from Albany.
The warden was asked if he would al
low General Molineux or his wife or Mrs
r. D. Molineux to inform the prisoner Of
the change in the aspect of his case. To
this the warden replied that if the men,
bers OF his family or any one Of them
sought an interview with the young man,
and they were entitled to it, and if they
wished to tell him it would be their privi-
lege The elder Mrs. Molineux did not
call at the prison during the day, as had
been anticipated.

A good rooster story comes
from Somerset county cor
respondent. Acertain clergyman,
whom we will call Rev. Mr.. Little.
gave one of his parishioners a
rooster, as a slight token of
esteem. In the family was a
bright 4-year-old boy, and he
always called the rooster sBrothsr
Little. One morning the little
fellow saw the rooster coming
toward the house, and he shouted.
"Grandma, here comes Brother
Little"
Grandma never stopped to look
out or make any inquiries, but
started quickly to pick up and set
things to rights about the room.
This done, she asked the boy.
"Where is Brother LittIe?"
''Just gone into the stable"
replied the boy.
Grandma thought she might
have time to change her dress,
and quickly lodged into another
room and in a very short time
attired in anothergown,
but somewhat out of breath,
Again she asked the boy if he had
seen Brother Little.
"Yes," said the innocent child:
''there he goes back to the barn
with the rest of the hens."
Grandma did not say a word,
but sat down for a few minutes
70 rest, aud later she seemed to
enjoy the joke with her grandson,
who looked on wonderingly, as
though he only partly took in the

A ROSE WITH NO THORN J

Speaking of Harry Lehr, who
came to New York poor, but tactfub
and walked right into the -Four
Hundred, this amusing story Is told
Of his first hit. He was the only
outsider at this Four Hundred func-
ton, at which he was introduced to
Mrs. j. J.. Astor, who stood in the
midst of q number Of women who
were enthusiastically admiring .
white gown that she wore.
More to be kind than anything
else, she turned to the young man
from Baltimore and said laughing
ly, ''Does it please you?"
Now, if he had said Eyes" he
wouldn't have attracted her atten-
ton in the least.
Il think it has its defects" he
drawled quietly.
In that moment, II he had done
nothing else, he had made an inn
preston upon one of the leaders Of
society.
~You see," he continued slowly,
while about him there was a gasp Of
CONSERVATION, 'sits lack of color does

Running newspaper, says an
exchange, is just like rusning a
hotel, only different. When a
man goes into a hotel, and finds
something on the table which
does not suit him, he does not
get up and raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his
darnel old hotel. Well, hardly.
He sets that dish on one side and
wales into some of the many
dishes that do suit him. 1t is
different with some newspaper
readers They find an article
occasionally that does not suit
them exactly and, without stop
ping t, think It may please hum
dreds of other readers, make a
grand stand play of their sr-
preme asininity and hasten over
to stop their paper.

A story Of a 'joke" played IN
Vienna upon Mascagni, the COM
poser, is going the round Of the
newspapers in Italy, where It has
created an extremely bad impress
sion.
The distinguished italian was the
guest of honor at a soiree given by
the theatrical artists of the Austrian
capital and expressed regret that he
was unable either to speak or under
stand German, whereupon an actor
of comic parts arose and addressed
him very solemnly, saying:
Most illustrious maestro, you
have given to the world 'Cavalleria
Rusticana, which is . musical
freak"
At this point Mascagni also rose
and warmly shook the orators hand.
"You have no other talent than
that Of self advertisement"
Another efusion on the part Of
the composer.
'1n a word, you are merely .
geniel sausage"
Prolonged applause, 1t which
4ascagni could scarcely master his
emotion.

Pointed Paragraphs.

When puppyism arrives at ma
turity it becomes dogmatism.
Idleness is the refugr of weak
minds and the holiday of fools.
Persuasion indicates strong
will and obstinacy a strong wont.
Lots of men preach charity and
wait for other men to practice it.
The latest definition of a dude
-one who has no business i'm this
world.
The miser makes the most of
everything by making no earthly
use of anything.
The follies of youth are drafts
on old age, the payment of which
is Imperative.
The jealoesy of small indi-
vidual reminds one of a bottle of
ginger pop in a state of rebellion.
The last words of great men
are long remembered, but the
last words of little women are too
numerous to record.
Don't parade your troubles be-
fore the world. Bury them as

offers to dig them up.

TakInr Plcturoa Under water.

Through the Filipino war the cam
era likewise proved of more actual
service than ever before, and 1t was
constantly developed as an instrument
Of daily service to the officers. The
modern electric signals and telegraphy
hardly assumed more Importance in
the Philippines than the camera. But
for that matter electrical and photo
graphic development go hand in hand,
and the two have been combined in
many ways. Rapid electrical photog-
raphy has been used by cur official
army photographers in both the Phil
ippines and in China. Photography
under water has also proved Of serv-
ice to our navy. When the Oregon
was grounded on the rock in the Far
Eastern waters, photograph under
the water was taken to show the ex-
act location of the rock and the nature
Of the wound to the external shell of
the boat. 1t also revealed the exact
nature of her position, so that 1t could
be decided whether 1t would be advis-
able to haul her off by the stern. The
pictures thus taken Of the battleship
will prove Of imperlshable value to
the Navy Department and will serve
as concrete study of marine acct
dents.
Every war correspondent and most
officers carry camera with them
now; but the official photographer Of
each expedition Is the man who is
held responsible for a reproduction Of
everything of value. When the pres
ent difficulties in and about the Philip
pines end, the War Department Mt
will have many thousand
official pictures to file away and pre-
serve. These photographs will eventu-
ally appear in the official war reports
of the whole campalgn.-Colller's

Their slumber Poculiarltles Studied by NJ
Expert.

Their s1umber Poculiarltles Studied by an
Expert.
The pecullarltles of wild animals
during the hours Of slumber have been
made the subject Of investigation by
one Of those geniuses who are always
on the alert for matters of general in
formation. He close the Central Park
menagerie as his place Of study, and
has reported his discoveries to the
New York Evening Post, In the main
as here related.
There is nothing odd or peculiar
about the sleep Of the lions and tigers.
In captivity they show the same in.
difference to danger that they mani.
fest In the jungle, and by day or night
win slumber through an unusual
tumult, unmindful or unconscious Of
the noise. Their sleep is commonly
heavy and peaceful.
Bears are also heavy sleepers, but
less disposed than lions and tigers to
slumber in the daytime. Grizzly bears
usually curl up under the rocks; but
sometimes they crawl up to the very
top Of the rocks, and with front paws
spread around the iron cage bars, go
to sleep in what seems an uncomforta-
bic and perilOus position; but bears
never release their muscular grasp Of
any object when asleep.
The black bears will curl up among
the branches of tree when they have
the opportunity, and go to sleep in this
peculiar position. The polar bears
show a popularity in the selection Of
their sleeping places. They choose ono
particular corner of the cage for that
purpose, and invariably seek this out
for the nights rest.
The high-strung, nervous animals are
the most interesting to watch at night
They usually belong to the hunted
tribes, whose lives are In constant
danger In the forest, and they possess
such high developed nervous system
that they really sleep with one eye
open. The slightest noise will Instant
ly awaken them.
The prairie wolves merely seem to
close their eyes for an instant, and
then open them again to see If all is
quiet. Many vain attempts have been
made to photograph these animals by
fash light and without exception the
camera has revealed the fact that one
eye at least was partly open.
The day-sleepers in the menagerle
are for some reason the heaviest
slumberers Of all and when they close
their eyes in early morning they seem
almost as stupid as IL drugged This
is in marked contrast to the light night
sleepers, which on the approach of
danger are instantly awake and on the
alert

Vacation Schools,

Sixteen years ago a physician, DR..
VIM. N. Barrlnger, then superlntend-
ent Of schools at Newark, N. j., pro-
posed, and the citizens Of Newark ac-
cepted, the plan OF vacation schools.
Since that time one city or community
after another has followed the ex-
cellent example, until now there are
probably a score or more In which 1t
is in practical working. Nature study,
cooking, wood carving, bent-iron work,
drawing, painting, basket weaving,
cane-seatlng, athletics are some Of the
subjects taught. The womens clubs
have been most active in encourage
ment Of this progressive movement.
Physicians will certainly help to make
1t general, and see that proper athlet-
les and physical culture are parts of
the programme. Such schools, right
ly managed, are surely great proven
tives OF disease and helpers in estab-
fishing a high grade Of healthful life
Coupled with the vacation Fairgrounds
they constitute a powerful sanitary as
well as moral influence for the better
ment of the lives and bodies of the
coming generatlons.-Amerlcan Medi-

Widening London Bridge.

Twenty years ago 1t was estimated
that 100000 persons crossed London
Bridge daily, 10000 on foot and the
rest in vehicles. With the growth Of
population these number have almost
doubled, in spite Of the relief afford
ed by the building of the Tower
Bridge, half mile down stream. 1t,
has, therefore, become an urgent mat
ter to increase the capacity Of the old
er bridge and 1t has now been decid-
ed to accomplish this by means Of
granite corbels which will carry the
footways as projections over the water
on each side of the bridge. This will
increase the width of the structure
from ffty-three and a half feet to six
ty-fve feet The present solid parapet
will be removed, and an open balus-
trade will take its place, an alteration
which will compensate to some extent
for the extra weight Of the new cor
bells. There are already two tube cleo
trio railways beneath the Thames, and
a third is in process of construction;
but the relief to traffic on the bridges,
although 1t must be great, is not per-
ceptible.- Chambers Journal.
