THE MOLNEUX TRIAL
Prosecution Now Striving to Show
Motive For Murder.
JOHN D. ADAMS A WITNESS.
Former Secretary of the knicl<er-
booker Athletic Club Testiies to
Quarrel Between the Prison.
rand Harry Cornish.

New York, Oct. 23.-Quarrels in the
Knickerbocker Athletic club, which the
prosecution in the Molineux case claims
furnished the motive for the alleged
attempt to poison Harry Cornish, the
athletic instructor and which resulted
i'll the death of Mrs. Katherine j.
Adams, were testified to during the day
by John ID. Adams, former secretary
of the club.
The quarrel between Molineux and
Cornish, according to Mr. Adams, grew
out of Il circus which MolineuX man
aged He complained that Cornish, in
stead of assisting him, as was his duty
as salaried official of the club, was
interfering with his plans. Mr.. Adams
demonstrated with Cornish, who de
clared that ne was helping MolineuX
all he could,
The name of Barlow S. Weeks, now
counsel for Molineux, was brought into
the case by the Identification by Mr..
Adams of letter published by Cornish,
in which he denounced Mr.. Weeks, who
was then il prominent official in the
Amateur Athletic union. In this letter
Cornish said:
Il have got it in for Weeks. | con
slider him as far Eelow me as one man
can be with another. | shall never
let up on him until l get even.'
Declared 1t an Outrage.
Mr.. Adams testified that when Moli-
neux saw the letter he declared it was
an outrage for any member of the club
to have written it. Later he said at a
dinner at the New York Athletic club
he informed Molineux that, as result
of letter written by Cornish, the lat
ter had been forbidden to use the club
stationery.
AS ii result of this letter, Mr.. Adams
said, Cornish was forbidden to take his
meals in the club dining room, and his
room at the club was taken away from
him. Molneux insisted that he ought
TO be discharged, and intimated that
he would join another organization if
he were not.
In the course of Mr. Adams testi-
mony Mr.. Osborne got the defense to
admit that Il letter written on egg blue
paper was written by MolineuX. Mr.
Osborne was about to hand the letter
to the witness to be identified when he
suddenly turned to Mr. Black and
asked:
is this conceded to be in the hand
writing of Molneux" tt4fo
There was silence for a moment
while Mr.. Black turned to Mr. Weeks
The latter arose and said, 1T is con
ceded by the defense that this letter
was written by Roland b. Molineux."
The importance Of the letter depends
upon the fact that one or more of the
letters sign II. Cornish are writer
on this sort al paper, asking drug com
panieS for cNstain remedies

Will LEAVE SHANGHAI
Powers Agree to Withdraw Troops
From That Chinese City.
OPEN DOOR POLICY EXTENDED
Secretary Hays Recommendations
Followed I'm This Respect, and the
United states viii Benefit
Equally With Europe.

Paris, Oct. 23-From authoritative
sources the correspondent learns that
France. Great Britain and Germany
have concluded an agreement provid-
ing for the military evacuation Of
Shanghai by their forces. The nego
tiations have also brought about an I'M
portant extension of the open door pol
icy. as urged by Secretary Hay. The
agreement affects not only Shanghai
but the entire Yangtsekiang valley,
which the powers are seeking to de-
velop for commercial purposes.
| The date of the evacuation is still
open. but a leading official of the for
eign office expressed the belief that it
will undoubtedly be accomplished by
Jan. 1. About $4,000 troops will par
ticipate in the evacuation, each power
having furnished about an equal num-
Der of troops since the Chinese crisis
became acute.
France initiated the negotiations, as
it was felt that there was no further
need for maintaining a military estab-
lishment at Shanghai. The first stages
of the negotiations resulted in an
agreement OH two points. The first was
favorable to the evacuation: the second
was that in case any power Intended to
resume the military occupancy of
Shanghai the other powers We're equal
ly entitled to resume occupancy.
Commercial Agreement.
! Germany then proposed that China
| be asked for assurances of equality of
treatment of the powers China gave
these assurances, and the officials here
say this branch of the agreement
amounts to an extension of the open
door policy in the Yanktsekiang re-
! gion. ~
! Although the nature of the CONNER
| cial equality is not specified, the agree.
ment is that the military and other
rights of the powers shall be on an
equal footing.
| The United States is not direct par
! ty to the negotiations, but has been
| fully advised of the intentions of the
three powers. At one stage of the ne
gotiations Secretary Hay advised For
eign Minister Delcasse, through Am
| bassador Porter, that the United States
! government was in full sympathy with
the plan and hoped for an early agree
ment on the subject. The officials here
say the United States shares in the
benefits of the agreement as to equality
of treatment.
The date Of the evacuation of Shang
hal is expected to be settled in few
days.
