New York. Nov. 13.-Roland r Mol
neuA' : iilSi day of absolute freedom III
four years WAS spent quietly with his
family at his fathers home. in Fort
Greene place. Brooklyn. Dull skies
and drcary weather placed no clcld
Oh the home where the sunshine of IA
name made clean shoile clear and
bright for the first time in years.
The enthusiastic crowds which surged
about The MoiucuX home when the
freed man returned after his long ab
sence We're not present during the day.
bur calls of friends With cougralula
lions and messages of good will ex
pressed in towers and in notes were
frequent.
1t is MolineuXs intention after a few
days enjoyment of his bone TO engage
in business in this city He may be
come a member of his fathers firm or
he may decide to accept one of the
many business offers that have been
made to him through his father since
it became certain that he would be nc
quilted. He has not yet decided wheth
or he will 20 away for a trip or remain
in his fathers home until he and his
wife resume housekeeping.
The first inimation pf Moineux's
plans came from Joseph Bell, a deputy
who was thrown much with the pris-
oncr and who talked with him often
during his stay in the Tombs.
No Idea of Leaving the city.
HE told me" said Bell. that he had
no idea of leaving this city to begin IA
new career elsewhere. He said he was
too old to begin life over again and
that he felt that it would be much more
to his credit to stay right here and live
it all down. His feelings OH this sub
ject are very strong.
1T may surprise you, toe, to know
OF acquittal until the last day or two
of the trial. He insisted that he was
being bounded by powerful enemies
and that they would stop at nothing to
send him to the chair. Even just be
fore the verdict he expressed some
doubt of the result
Molineux. who seems ov ,rjoyed with
the verdict. will only say:
Il have been able to bear the trials
and hardships during the past four
year, that l have rested under this ac-
cusatiOn because knew that was in
nocent am rejOiced to have been
able to go home to my mother with this
fearful stain removed from me and
with the satisfaction that she could
greet me with the knowledge that
had been declared innocent
Il cannot think of the future. as my
heart is too full Of joy to recall any
thing but the safe deliverance to my
family. 1t is a satisfaction to know
that my fathers trust in me has been
indicated by the verdict Of the jury
which set me free. God be praised for
all.'
what the Trials Have Cost.
The enormous cost of the two trials
has not been accurately figured out as
vet. but the expense to the county will
foot up more than $3.50, 900. or this
great sum was paid to handwriting ex-
perts upon whose testimony MFR. Os-
horne largely relied for conviction.
Estimates of the sums expended by
General MOlineux in defense Of his son
vary all the way from $50. 900 to 5000.
O00, but it is believed by those who
have given the matter careful thought
that the smaller sum ia more nearly ex
act. 1t is believed that the cost has
seriously crippled the dnances Of the
| old general. who has never been rated
| as man of great wealth. 81 much OF
his time has been devoted to the inter
ests Of hfs son that he has been forced
to neglect his business and this has
| been costly
One man who is feeling bitter as a
result of the trial is Harry Cornish
who was savagely attacked by forme,
Governor Black in his closing address
tn defense Of Molineux. Cornish. after
declaring that Justice I.ambert's,
charge to the jury was biased in favor
Of Molineux. said in answer to re-
porter's questioning:
II am going to show up the methods
employed from the first stage of the
investigation of the death Of Mrs
Adams. These disclosures will open
the eyes of the public-startle the com.
munity. Now don't get that down
wrong | don't mean to say that
have bundle Of new facts which
might tend to bring out some clews Us
to the murderer which have been slept
over. not that. mean just this
the methods engaged at the beginning
OF the investigation Of this crime are
not known to the public. and when
they are paraded the public will be
astOunded."
