The Election in The Ninth.
(Roanoke Times.)

(RoanOke TimeS.)
The Democrats of the State who are
opponents of a system smattering of
fraud in elections. are patiently await
ing the final result of the canvass of
the Ninth Congressional District From
ton of Judge Slemp seems beyond ques-
tion. The majority of the people Of the
district have declared at the polls in his
favor, and he is therefore entitled to the
seat In the next House. There may be
some few Democrats of the State who will
countenance technical proceeding to de-
feat A1r. Slemp, but the majority will
never do so: nor do we believe it will
fnd favor with the State organiza ton.
We are not sitting in Judgment on the
returns and should the final result count
n favor of Judge Rhea he should have
it; but we shall certainly not give coun-
tenance to anything that smatters OF
fraud. The day for that is past in Vir-
:gria. Under the new regstrato the ne
gro vote has been eliminated. and there
is no longer an excuse for fraud. It is

ton that every voter is an intelligent
one, thoroughly competent 10 pass upon
the merits or dement's of the respective
candidates, and if 4 majority of the voters
Of the Ninth Congressional District have
expressed preference for Slen'p. the
press of the State should enter a unani-
nous protest against any movement
looking to his defeat. And while the de-
feat Of Judge Rhea is very much to be
regretted, it is matter of small moment
compared with the matter of dealing out
exact justice to the white people of the
Ninth District. In the vernacular OF the
colored brother let US tote fair

The Case OF o1oIIneux.
Baltimore American.)

The Nolneux case on trial in New
York is about to go to the jury. and in
anticipate of the verdict it may not be
uninteresting to the public to review the
evidence.
The case was, naturally, one of those
in which conviction must be secured by
circumstantia evidence The prosecu-
ton, after determining to put Moiineaux
on trial for the murder of Mrs. Adams
knew it could not adduce any direct tes-
tmony. It had to stake its case on cir
cumstantial evidence, and to win it set
out to build up this sort of wall around
the accused:
That he had motive for murder.
That he had the power to kill Mrs.
Adams in the manner in which she was
killed.
That he might have bought the bottle
holder.
That he might have mailed the poison
package on the day and at the time
when it was mailed.
That he might have written the address
on the poison package.
This method was that of making sus.
picion so strong in the minds of the
jurors as to cloud and eclipse facts and
thereby prompt verdict Of guilty. 3,
this means MolineuX's conviction was
secured at the l4rst trial, masses of ex-
traneous evidence being then introduced
to bolster up this fabric of suspicion.
ALI this extraneous testimony. oral and
documentary, has been excluded from
the present trial, and it is possible to see
the salient points In the case clearly.
Neither the attitude of the prosecutic,.
toward MolineuX, nor Its methods. have
changed 1t has tried. as it did before.
to convict upon circumstantial evidence
Its attempts have been parted in this
manner:
Motive.-It has been shown that the
only motive Molineux could have had
fos numbering Cornish (who, the prose-
cution contends, was the person aimed
att was hatred growing out Of idle quar-.
rel al a club, a quarrel which took place
months before the alleged crime.
Power to kill.-The prosecution en-
deavo-ed to show that cyanide of r:er-
curry, the poison used. is very rare.
that 1t cannot be purchased, and that
only analytical chemists. ike Molineux
have access to it. The defence answered
this by proving, by five witnesses, that
cyanide Of mercury may be purchased a!
any drug store in New York and by any
body who is disposed to inquire for It.
The Bottleholder.-The testimony given
by those who sold it, that A1oineaux did
not, purchase the bottle-ho1der was most
positive. and remains unshaken.
Mailing the Package.-The poison pack
age was, according to the postmarfAs, mail
ed atsthe general olice. New York.
