charge Of Mo|ineux.
Cla ms Prosecution Has Not Sufficient
Grounds to Ask Conviction.
mot'on Denied and the Defence Will
Open. Today.

New York. Oct. 30.-Counsel for tbe
defense in the Molineux trial moved
TO-DAY, that the. court direct the Jury
to acquit the defendant on the ground
that the evidence was insufficient .Jus.
tice Lambert denied the motion.
EX-Gov. Black in moving Moline,y.s
acqulttal, said the evidence given was
not sufnclent to warrant Il conviction.
that there WAS no evidence that tba
defendant ever had in his possession
cyanide of mercury or the bottlehoIder
IN which the poison was sent: that
he did not mail the poison package
and that there was no proof whotever
connecting the defendant with tho
crime charged.
Al the close of Mr. Blacks areu-
ment Justice Lambert said:
VIII deny the motion for the pres-
eht ana VIII hear all the evidence"
Nr. Black then asked the court ia
permit him to make his opening adj
Dress 10 the jury, tomorrow. and JUS
tee Lambert acquiesced. declaring
court adjourned until tomorrow.
Mr.. Black said his opening address
would be very short
After the adjournment Mr.. Black
was asked If Molineux would take the
stand in his own behalf.
There is strong likelihood that we
shall call Mr.. Molineux," he said, but
nothing has been decided
