it's phases with Mr.. Weeks"
At this point recess was taken.
At the afternoon session the crowd
seeking admission was larger than In
the morning. One of the extra police
men on duty did not know Justice
Lambert and refused him admission to
the court A police captain who was
near identified the justice and a place
was made for him.
When MoIineux took his place again
in the witness chair. Mr.. Osborne
asked him If he had read the Cornish
and Barnet letters. Molineux said he
was not sure that he had read them
or seen the photographs of them be-
fore last Friday. He had consulted
with Mr.. Weeks about them and he
had discussed with Mr.. Weeks the
question as to who could have a feel
ing against Cornish and Barnet.
Did you not suggest Harpster as
being such a MANI
i Il think Harpster's name was men,
toned
did you send for Mr.. HeiIs to talk
to Mr.. Weeks?"
IL did. l thought he might be able
to enlighten us as to any emnities there
might be i'm the club. 1 also wanted
him to convince Mr. Weeks that had
no enemies in the club"
Molineux said that if he had been
able to think of any one with "a COM
mon hostility to Cornish and Barnet,
he would have notified the district at
torney at once. The last time he saw
Mamie Molando was i'm January, 1899.
He knew Robert A. Zeller and saw him
1 Ia, I, n, ~, Ia
did not know whether Zeller had ever
been in New York state since then or
| not.
| did you hear Mamie Molando testi-
fly at the last trial?' asked Mr.. Os-
borne.
| The objection Of the defense was
| sustained as was a second objection,
when Mr.. Osborne tried to get in a
question regarding the statement made
| by Miss Molando that Molineux had
interlaced crescent paper in his desk.
II have ruled that the testimony re-
! ferred to is not admissible here" the
court said, land l do not intend that it
shall be admitted, if can help it,
| The defendant denied that he told lei
| Ter, Miss Melando to Mr. Weeks office
and said that he did not know that she
had called there.
Mr. Osborne succeeded in getting all of
the Mamie Melando evidence at the last
trial before the jury, He asked:
Mr.. Moineux, did you ever hea.'
Mamie Meando say outside of the testi-
mony she gave at the last trial that she
| found six sheets of that blue crescent
crested paper in your desk?'
MolineuX replied: No"
Mr.. Osborne Incorporated in other ques-
tions all the statements made by Miss
Melando at the former trial.
Justice Lambert permitted eX-Gov.
Black to have it noted in the minutes
that counsel read his questions from the
minutes of the asst trial
Mr.. Osborne piled the prisoner with
questions tending to show that he was a
frequent visitor at the Newark police
| headquarters Molineux said he had
visited the Newark police.
Then the prosecution asked about meet
ings with Farrell who is detective.
Mclienux recalled meeting Farrell on tue
DIST Of December 1898, the day the bottle
holder was bought.
Thea Mr. Osborne tried to get Molneux
to say that he had met Farrell and that
| Farrell had said he could swear that he
met MOlineux on the street on the 2lst of
December and that he was not wearing
red heard Molineux said he met Far
rell and talked over the meeting Of Dec;
u, but he would not agree that the rec
beard had been mentioned.
And did you think it was 50 unim-
portant a matter that you did not ask
Farrell how he could identify YOU
1T was not of the slightest impOr-
| lance" said Molneux.
ExGov. Black made frequent objections
while Molineux was being questioned
Mr. Osborne adopted like tactics in get
ting before the jury the statements given
| at the last trial by Farrell.
Molineux denied that President Guild
of the Newark police force, had ever
given money to Mamie Melando on be
half of either Molineux or his family.
DO you claim that you got that blue
Paper with the interlaced crescent, at the
! Waldrof- Astoria? ?" Mr.. Osborne asked.
Then Mr.. Osborne showed him the
mtted he wrote, but the prisoner could
not be got to admit that he wrote the
letter in Newark, although it waspost-
marked there
Moincux did not want to admit that he
could write vertically and when Mr.. Os.
| borne showed him the word "obliSc'
written in this manner by he he still re
fused to concede that he could write
whole letter in that style.
, Mr.. Osborne went back to the troubles
! at the Knickerbocker Athletic club be-
tween Cornish and MoineuX. He took |
the prisoner over the same ground COW
| cred. this morning. eliciting nothing new
| except that the first squabble between the
two was in 1893, when Moiineux conslu-
cred that Cornish was not properly sup
porting his efforts to make a success OF
amateur circus
the old trouble at the Knickerbocker
| Athletic Club and counsel said:
DO you know Of any one in the knick-
erbockcr Athletic Club who had such
cause to dislike Cornish as you had?'
II do not.
The croSs-eXamination was not con-
cIuded when the court adjourned at 5.1o
O'clock until tomorrow morning. The ac-
journment was much against the wish OF
Justice Lambert. An hour earlier. Mr..
Osborne had asked for an adjournment
and Justice Lambert said he would Sit
until the cross-examination OF the de-
PENDANT was concluded.
| 1t was not until 5.15 o'clock when Mr..
Jerome said that it was impossible. to
continue because counsel had been taken
somewhat by surprise in the decision of
| the defence to make the defendant his
| own first witness. II was not until IL
o'clock. Thursday night. Mr.. Jerome said.
| that Gov. Black had told the prosecution
| IF their plans.
Justice Lambert told ex-Gov. Black to
be ready with his witnesses, as it was his
| Intention to sit ali day, tomorrow.
