An Expensive Trial.

New York, Nov. 12.-It is estimated
the two trials of Roland B. MolineuX
for the murder by poison of Mrs. Kate
B. Adams December 2S, 1898, has cost
more than any other for a capital of
fense in any country where the Eng
lish system of Jurisprudence is in
vogue. The cost to the county of New
York in the first trial amounted to
s250000. expended in various direc-
tions, largely in fees for handwriting
experts, who were brought from dis
tant states, and for detectives who en-
deavored to have Molineuxs move
ments from his fifteenth birthday to
the time of his arrest. The defense
expended about $4,000 in the first
trial, and it is estimated that the total
on both sides for the two hearings will
foot up nearly 100000.

Horn, there has been filed in this
court information charging you with
murder in the first degree. You have
been duly arraigned and tried. and n
verdict of guilty returned against you
Have you anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon you?"
Il don't think | have, SIR" was the
calm reply of Horn, after few sec
onds' hesitation.
THE court has no discretion in the
matter. 1t is ordered that you, Tom
Horn, be taken from hence to the
county Jail of Laramie county, there
kept in close confinement until Friday,
the 9th day of January, 1903, on which
day, between the hours of 8 O'Clock
a. m. and O'Clock p. m, you will be
taken from thence to a place conve-
nient thereto and hanged by the neck
until you are dead"
Horn Immediately stepped over to
where Sheriff Smalley was sitting
Judge Scott motioned to remove the
prisoner and Horn started from the
room at brisk walk. followed closely
by the sheriff and spectators. Reach
ing the door of the sheriff's office. Horn
found it locked. and made some remark
to the sheriff that he guessed. he was
locked out.
Horns attorneys stated this evening
that the battle for his life would be
continued as long as there was any
thing that could be done in his behalf
AS the Supreme Court will probably
not consider the case for several
months, Horn will be granted stay OF
execution, and even though the court
does not grant new trial Horns exc
cution will not occur before next
spring.

oSGooD'S POSITION.
Reasons He Gives for Retaining Con.
troll of the c. r. & I. Co.

New York, Nov. 12.-Stockholders
oil the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
received a let,er from j. G. Osgood,
chairman of the board o. directors OF
the company, to-day, requesting that
proxies be sent to him and his asso-
ciates, j. l.. jerome and ,. A. hebler.
instead OF to Messrs. Hawley, Harri-
man and Gould
One of the points made by Mr.. Os-
good is that Mr.. Hawley represents
the Colorado Southern railway, Mr..
Gould controls the Missouri Pacific
and Denver & Rio Grande systems,
and Mr.. Hartman the Union Pacific
system. The company, he. says. has
friendly relations with these compa-
nies, but also with the Atchison, Rock
Island and the Burlington roads. A
domination of the company by the
Hawley- y-Harriman-Gould party cannot,
he says, fail to antagonize and injure
its relations with the Atchison, Rock
Island and Burlington.
One of the points made by Mr.. Os-
good is based upon the earnings of the
company in the last four months. His
statement shows that the net earnings
of the four months of the current bust
ness year, June 80, 1902, to October 81,
1902, were s747,341; for the same pc
riod last year, S413,011. or an increase
of 1894 $3.50. which is about eighty-five
per cent.
Mr.. Osgood estimates that the COM
pany will earn this year SO 900 900,
sufficient to pay interest, and a divi-
dend on the preferred stock of Sl,300,-
600; seven per cent. on the common
stock of S1,6S0000, leaving a surplus
Tor depreciation and sinking fund Of
$4,000
Further on Mr.. Osgood states that
he has agreed to accord Messrs. Haw-
ley, Hartman and Gould a minority
representation, but will not concede a
majority. He says it would be fatal
to the best interests of the company.
He opposes the granting of majority
representation, on the score that the
control is sought by railroads which
ought to be its allies, but now want to
be its masters.

A dying patient RECEIVERS through
the interposition of humble German.
Chicago. Nov. 16.
Some weeks ago DR.. G., a very
reputable and widely-known physi-
clan, living on c. Street, was call
ed to attend a very complicated case
of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the
house he found a man about forty
years of age. lying in prostrated
and serious condition, with his whole
frame dangerously affected with .ae
painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient, but the man continued to
grow worse. and on Sunday evening
he was found to be In very alarm
ing condition. The knees and elbows
and larger joints were greatly innam-
ed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the
patient could be turned in bed, with
the aid of three or four persons. The
weight Of the clothing was so painful
that means had to be adopted to keep
1t from the patients body
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be Of no avail, and left the
house, the members of the family
following him to the door, weeping.
Almost Immediately the grief stricken
ones were addressed by an humble
German. He had heard of the despair
of the family, and now asked them to
try his remedy, and accordinglyO
brought forth bottle of St Jacobs
OIL. The poor wife applied this rem
edy. The first application eased the
patient very much: after few hours
they used 1t agair, and. wonder of
wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improv-
ed the patient, and in two days he
was well and out. When the doctor
called a few days after, he was in
deed surprised.
