MOLINEUX CASE
BEFORE COURT OF APPEALS
One-Time Leader of the Democracy
Vigorously UphOIds the Juds-
ment Reached in Recorder
Gofs Court.

BUFFALO, NJ Y, June 4S-The final
direct verbal plea for another chance be-
| fore a jury for Roland B. Mohneux the
alleged poisoner of Mrs. Katherine J.
Adams and Henry c. Barnett, and the
| first half of the arraignment of the people
in resistance, were heard. by the court of
appeals today. John c. Milburn, repre-
senting Molineux spoke nearly two
hours, and was followed by former Unit
ed States Senator D. B. Hill, whose argu-
ment in opposition lasted until court ad
journed. Mr.. Hill Wall close by noon to-
morrow, and with a brief reply by the
attorney for the appellant, the case will
be submitted to the court.
1t was day of oratory, stirred at times
to the thrilling point with touches of in
vective. Milburns close was vigorous
He began with a direct attack upon the
policy throughout the trial of Recorder
Golf. He charged the latter with favorit-
ism towards Assistant District Attorney
Osborne, whose methods he upheld, and
discrimination against Attorney Barlow
Weeks.
Senator Hill was equally vigorous Az
ter explaining his connection with the
appeal he took up the case and upheld
the guilt of the appellant. He strongly
defended the course of Recorder Golf
and Assistant District Attorney Osborne
and the policy of the prosecution.
MR.. HILLS ARGUMENT.
Starting with the evidence Of the prose
cution as to the killing of Mrs. Adams
and Mr. Barnett, be followed them
through their reasoning and upheld their
policy. He insisted that the consolidation
of the two cases was possible. He held
that the prosecution was within its rights
in showing the relations of Molineux and
his wife prior to their marriage and as
serted that it was the people who had
suffered when the recorder ordered the
evidence stricken out. He said Mrs. Mo-
lneux had called her marriage a ro-
nance. He called it tragedy. Mr. Hill
took up successfully the various mys-
terious letters written under the names
of Cornish and Barnett, and forcefulIy
adjusting them in their places in the
theory Of the prosecution dramatically
proclaimed the alleged guilt of the pris-
oner and insisted that the state had con-
clusively proven its charge He defended
Harry Cornish against suspicion or in
SinuatiOn, and asserted the reliability of
the mass of handwriting testimony Of
fered by the state. .f5
Reviewing the trouble at the knicker-
becker club and connecting with it Cor
nishs denunciation of Molineux and the
Harpster incident. Mr.. Hill proclaimed
revenge as the motive for the plot to XII
Cornish, and then pictured jealousy as
the motive in the Barnett case He pro-
nounced the weight of evidence against
the accused as overwhelming and said
that no defense had been made because
none was possible.
Mr.. Hill did not touch the disputed law
points and will go into them tomorrow.

All Of his savings for a number Of years

the Andrus building, and that in a few
days he was going to move the mines
OF the defunct concern TO the fourth floor
OF that building, so that the thieves who
had been stealing the ore could be ap-
pretended. He had written a long teie-
gram to the Fargo Argus, in which he
asked the editor Of that paper 10 stop

objections by counsel and clear-cut, cold

Both principals went on the stand dur

The story of Barker may not be told
on the witness stand. The court held
that Barker could not testify to his own
state of mind on the morning Of the
Shooting. The object of the defense for
the moment, for which Barker was
called, was to introduce the alleged con-
versation which it is said led up to the
shooting, but at every step the counsel
met defeat. Time and time again they
sought to introduce some evidence tell
ing what took place before the shooting,
but in every case the prosecution OBJ
jected. Then they went straight at the
questioning and sought to bring in the
whole story boldly and plainly, but
failed. Barker was withdrawn from the

FARGO, N. D., June 18.-The disappear
ance of DR.. Z. B. Evans, Of Fargo, three
weeks ago tonight, is more of a mystery
to his most intimate friends than any
body else.
DR.. Evans disappeared from his home

at his bedside, while DIR. Evans was
obliged to return Immediately after the
ceremony to Fargo to take care of his

seven years of age. and had practiced
medicine in Fargo for about three years.
The report that DR.. Evans eloped from
Fargo with a waitress named Belle
Quackenbush. is not credited by those
VINO know DR.. Evans best. The circum-
stances attending his sudden disappear
ance indicate nothing but a. premeditated
elopement or journey. His wife is the
last person with whom he is known to
have communicated. Three weeks ago
tonight he telephoned her that he had
been called to Davenport, neighboring
town to attend a case. That was the
last heard from him
DR.. Evans is a refined young man Of

Following this defeat came another,
when DR.. Evans, of the Morton Plains
asylum, was practically debarred from
testifying because of lack Of foundation.
and had to be Withdrawn. The court
rose as soon as DR.. Evans was with
drawn.
The story Of Mrs. Barker may not be
told now unless counsel finds some way
which has not yet suggested Itself to in
troduce it. The ruling of the court in
every instance was pronounced quickly
and Jersey lawyers were generally Of the
opinion that the exceptions Mr.. Van
winkle filed were not such as would up
set the result If there was a conviction.
The prosecution tried to introduce the
eye taken from Mr.. KeIlers head. It
was presented in a bottle of alcohol, but
was barred out as grewsome ana hav-
ing no bearing on the case.
Dr. Steinser, one Of the doctors who
attended Mr.. Keller, told Of the woun1s
and gave expert testimony that Mr..
Keller was shot from behind. Mr.. Van
Wrinkle tried to get the doctor to admit
that possibly Keller and Barker met face
to face. but the doctor stuck to his state
ment that the shot which was the most
serious was fired from behind.

KELLER ON THE STAND

Mr.. Keller was the last witness FOR the

the questions Of the prosecuting attorney
In so low a tone that his words were
audible to only few persons.
After stating that ne was 40 years Old

since 1886, Mr.. Keller detailed the cir
cumstances Of the assault upon him as
he was going from his home 70 the rail-
way station. He saw no one, heard 70
word preceding the infiction of the
wound in his head. Removing the spec
tacles he wore, Mr.. Keller showed the
scar of his wound and his slghtless eyes.
He said that when he was in bed after
having been shot he remembers the doc
tors prObed for bullets. He continu II:
''I think people were walking about the
room, but could not see any, as I was
blind. Remember being asked II I could
recognize a certain mans voice, but could
not. The voice was loud, rough ar d un-
usual. I mad an idea whose voice it was,
but thought was about to die, and did
not want TO identify the man when 7
was not positive"
He insisted IN a nlild way under cross
examination that the shot which entered
his head was fired from behind. He said
he had spoken to no one and inferen.ially
mao nao no Quarres.
