mitted he was present as an EXPERT for
the prosecution and had received IN to
this time $196O. Asked by Former Cow
ernor Black if these facts had anything
to do with the loss of his notes since
the last trial, and his inability to re-
member what was said by Mrs. Rogers
and Cornish. Dr.. Potter said he could not
account for the loss of his notes.
After Police Captain George McClusky
had identified exhibits of handwriting
and told OF his submitting them to ex-
ports, Joseph j. Koch, the keeper of the
letter box place said that in June of
1898 he received a letter signed Roland
b. Molineux asking the cost of pri-
vate letter box. He sent a circular con
tanning his rules and terms to Molineux

expert identified some of MolineuX's
writing and then declared that the so
called Harpstar letter written to Freder-
lex Stearns & Co. in Detroit, was written
by the same hand
Mr. Osborne offered the letter in evi-
Cence and Ex-Governor Black objected on
the grounds that II is incompetent under
the ruling of tae Court of Appeals and
that it tends to connect and accuse the
defendant of chime other than that for
which he is on rial.
