A Yaqui Indian was hired, but he
backed out as soon rs he heard of their

The party finally bought the sloop
Ella, of eleven tons, and sailed to III
buron, which is about 1875 miles down
the gulf. They sailed around it for thir-
teen days, making two trips inland, one
of eight miles on the Sonora side and
the other four and half miles on the
gulf side.
Whenever they saw any Indians they
made landing. AT first the Indians
were very suspicious, but finally they
consented to do some trading.
The party obtained some of the ma
tives' bows and poisonous arrows and
a peculiar bamboo boat. The Indians
poison their arrows by taking the liver
of deer, allowing rattlesnakc to bite
1t and then dipping their arrows into
the inoculated liver. The Serbs are sup

thlrty-two miles long and eighteen

Roland II. Molineux, who was adj
Judged guilty of murder nearly four
years ago, has been acquitted by Jury
of his peers. The second trial presented
marked differences from the first Judge
Lambert, country Judge, who presid-
ed, displayed singular fairness, good
judgment, and patience, In sharp con-
trast to Recorder Golf, whose attitude
toward the defense in the first trial was
the subject Of criticism, sharp, If not
harsh. Evidence damaging to Moll-
neux, chiefly in the form of letters
which the Recorder admitted, was de-
clared by the Court of Appeals to have
been improperly admitted. In the first
trial the prosecuting attorney had ev-
erything his own way. All the testi-
mony he wished to Introduce was let in.
The State is often Mt disadvantage
in second trial. Some of its witnesses
cannot be found, as was the case in the
second trial of Molineux. His long i'm
prisonment and suffering must have in
fiuenced the jury little. All of these
influences, Of course, operated to secure
an acquittal for him. The court found
1t necessary to reprove Mr.. Osborne, the
prosecuting attorney, whose eagerness
to secure conviction exceeded all rea-
sonable bounds. 1t is possible for a
States Attorney to show too much zeal
in his efforts to send man to the gal.
lows. The trial was conducted with an
orderliness and dispatch which were
creditable to the country judge who was
taken to New York to preside over this
important trial. The courts summing
up of the evidence was admirable No
one can review the whole case with sat
isfaction. 1t has been at once a farce
and tragedy. Murder was done, and,
in spite of great efforts on the part of
the State. the murderer is still at large.
Molineux has been acquitted, but only
after four years in prison and after his
family has been nearly bankrupted. If
he had been n poor man he would have
been hanged. His acquittal is the result
of the unwayering courage of his faith
er, who throughout the struggle retain
ed the best counsel in New York. There
is much room for improvement when it
costs father his fortune to establish
his sons innocence, or when prosecut-
ing attorney suggests that rich man
cannot be convicted Of murder.
