HARRY CORNISH.


how little Molineux ever exhibited ha-
tired for Cornish. There was more mo-
tive for crime i'm church and family
ouarrels, he declared, than in that pre-
scented 10y the state to account for the
death of Mrs. Adams.

built up by the state, take your minds
from the real case as shown by evil
dence," he said. Now, let me tell you
what the real case is:

from Molneux and points to another
person. 1t points to that person as
unerringly as the needle points to the
north star"

Later in his address the former gov
ernOr declared that the evidence point
ed to Harry Cornish. He declared
Cornish had a strong motive for com
hitting the crime and dilated upon the
private life of the former athletic in
structor. In dealing with the evidence
presented against MolineuX he said:
what is tine proof about the bottle?
Emma Miller. the clerk in Hartdegen's
jewelry store. swears that MolineuX
did not buy the bottle holder And a
word about her. ! must offer Il criti-
cism here of my learned opponent in
this case. When she was put on the
stand, the first question h" asked her
was if he had not given her 500. | ask
you if that was a fair question to put
to one who had come across from New
Jersey as voluntary witness. She
said she took the money. but when she
testified she went ahead and told the
truth. Her ferry fares were paid by
the prosecution, but she told the truth
just the same, and she said MolineuX
was not the purchaser.
Here is Mr.. Huff. who came from
Boston willingly to tell his story. He
saw the man who bought the bottle
holder in Hartdegen's store. What d,
he tell you? He described the man the
same as Miss Miller did. He said the
man who bought the bottle holder wore
a red on sandy Vandyke beard; so did
Emma Miller swear that the man wore
a Nandyke beard red in color.
