that we never had those envelopes. The envelopes taken from Molineux's desk were given to the defense of the other letters we suppressed were marked for Identification in the last trial and emanated from this trial because the de- fense thought we had enough handwrit- ing exhibits without them.'
 Referring to the statement made by MT. Black that Cornish did not attend the funeral of Mrs. Adams an dared not face the dead woman, MT. Osborne read from the minutes to show that Cornish visited the flat before Mrs. Adams body was removed and that ex-Governor Black had refused to let him tell on the witness stand why he was absent from the funer- al. Then counsel contradicted Ex- Governor Blacks contention that Cornish was shamming sick and read the evidence of the doctors who attended Cornish in the Knickerbocker Athletic club who said they found him suffering from an irritant poisoning.
 insinuation Unjust. The insinuation that a motive for the murder of Mrs. Adams could be found in Cornish's feelings for Mrs. Rogers, the prosecuting attorney showed that Mrs. Adams and Cornish were on the best of terms and he added that there was noth- ing against Mrs. Rogers character except
 
 yers. Counsel went on to say that he would prove the states side of the case without reserve to any old woman who 1 saw some handwriting for a moment in the dark of a winters evening and recog- nized it again after period of four years. l The state. he-said, had no remarkable l coincidence to present like the testimony i of Martin Huff, who happened into the Newark store just as the bottlehoSer | ait c0ld xVb " found himself working side by side with the brother of General Molineux. Com ing to the question of motive MT. Os- borne went on to show that Molineux had attempted to injure Cornish even af- ter MolineuX had left the club, and cited as evidence of the enduring nature of Mo- lineux's ill-will, the Scheffler letter, writ ten nearly a year after his resignation from the Knickerbocker Athletic club, and the letter about Harpster, Cornish's friend sent to Stearns & Co.
 We find" he went on, that Molineux had the motive and we find that he had, or could have had the poison. He was experimenting in the manufacture of ship paint and one of the uses of cyanide of mercury is for the manufacture of ship paint

 As to the purchase of the bottleho1der, MT. Osborne said Molineux was daily in 1 Newark and knew the Hartdegen store well, where he had a friend, Arnold. Why, then, he asked, did not the defense call Arnold, who had refused to come here for the prosecution.
 Taking up the evidence of the handwrit- ing experts MT. Osborne said that testi- mony of David H. Carvalho, the expert called by the defense proved his conten- ton that Molineux wrote the poison package wrapper.
 By whom do I convict Molineux of that writing?" he demanded ''Out of the mouths of his enemies? No! Out of the mouths of his friends. Two bankers of | Newark who knew Molineux and his writing, and who had no enmity towards Molineux told you they were sure Moli- neux wrote those disputed writings. I am satisfied to let that portion of the ac- cusation against Molineux rest upon the testimony of Carvalho'
 MT. Osborne argued that the writer dared not entirely hide his hand or use printing characters or a typewriter for fear of defeating his object by arousing the suspicion of the recipient of the pack | age.
