with warrants tending to show that 1e was a frequent visitor Gs the Newark police headquarters. Mclineux said he had visited the Newark police. Then the prosecution asked about meetings with Farrell who is a detective. Molineux re- called meeting Farrell on the Fist ot December, 1898, the day the bottle hold CT was bought.
 Then MT. Osborne tried to get Moli- neux to say that he had slet Farrell and that Farrell had said he could swear that he met Molineux on the street CT the Fist of December and that he was not wearing a red beard. MolineuX said he met Farrell and talked over the meet ing of December 21, but he would not agree that the red beard had been men toned.
 And did you think 1t was so unimpor- tant matter that you did not ask Far rell how he could identify you?"
 Tt was not of the slightest import ance," said Moineux.
 Former Governor Black made frequent objections while Molineux was being questioned along this line.
 MT. Osborne adopted like tactics in getting before the jury the statements given at the last trial by Farrell
 Molineux denied that President Guild of the Reward police force. had ever giv- en money to Mamie Melando on behalf of either Molineux or his family.
 Do you claim that you got that blue paper with the interlaced crescent at the Waldorf-Astoria? asked MT. Osborne.
 q do."
 Then Mir. Osborne showed him r>e Bur net letter, which Molineux had admitted he wrote, but the prisoner could not be got to admit that he, wrote the letter in Newark, although it was postmarked there.
 Molneux did not want to admit that he could write vertically and when MT. Osborne showed him the word "oblfge" written in this manner by him, he still refused to concede that he could write whole letter in that style. Counsel and witness thrashed out again the old trou- ble at the Knickerbocker. Athletic club, and counsel said:
 Do you know of anyone in the Knick- erbocker Athletic club who had such cause to dislike Cornish as you did?'

SAYS THE INDIANS
 DRINK AND GAMBLE
U. s. AGENT ERWIN, IN REPORT TO COMMISSIONER, MAKES sE- VERB ARRAIeNMENT OF RED- SKINS ON SOME RESERVATIONS.

Washington, October s1.-A severe ar raignment of the Indians on the Ponca, Otto and Oakland reservations in Okla homa is made by Agent Erwin, In charge of the reservation In his annual report to the commissioner of Indian affairs.
 The report says: Hardly any of the young Indians. those who have grad uated from the reservation schools as well as those who have attended for number of years, do any work at all It can be set down as a perfectly safe rule that as a class the young educated Indians are the most worthless ones Tn the whole tribe. Nearly all of the work done by the tribes is performed by the middle-aged able-bodied ones. who can not write or speak English.
 'The educated Indian coming from the schools usually gives the excuse that he has nothing with which to work, neith- CT money. implements nor stock of any kind This is true, but I notice they manage to live on their annuities and lease money and buy horses, buggtes, etc., on credit and borrow money from the banks with very little prospects Of ever being able to pay their debts. Any able bodied man or woman is able to obtain work at fair wages.
 Many of the people are addicted to drink, and both men and women are inc veterate gamblers. They have practi- caily nothing to do. Their days are spent in almost utter idleness and vice and debauchery are rampant. The deg relation of these people will continue and increase until they are made to work and live by the result of their la bors."
 As a remedy for this condition of af- fairs the agent recommends that the In- dian children be educated onIy at reser- vation boarding schoolsi further educa- tion being 90 per cent waste of effort and money; that the schools under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma government be established among these Indians. so that the latter can come into constant contact with white children, and that the payments by the government from their trust funds now in the United States treasury be used to enable them to start in farming and stock raising.
 The Ponca Indians, alluded to above, are the tribe from which the Indians at the Alabama State fair, in progress In Birmingham came. There are forty-five of them at the fair grounds, headed by White Eagle their chief. There are about 800 of them in all on the reserva- tion near Bliss, I. T. The Poncas are extremely friendly with the white peo- pie, but are deadly enemies to other In- dian tribes.

MANSFIELD SAYS
 HE DOESN'T CURSE
ECCENTRIC ACTOR THREATENS
 TO BRING SUIT FOR HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A CHICAGO
 PREAcHER-MINIsTER IS GAME.

Pittsburg, October s1.-Riehard Mans he threatens to bring a suit for heavy damages against well known preacher of Chicago because of alleged slanderous statements made by the latter in ser mon last Sunday. in which the divine, the Rev. Dr. George F. Hall, stated that he was reliably informed that the actor cursed and swore because of the fact that theatre buildings are occupied on Sundays for religious purposes.
 The exact words of pr. Hall, which he handed to the newspapers himself were: T am, as I think, reliably informed that at recent rehearsal of his com pany Richard Mansfield cursed and swore because of the fact that theatre buildings are occupied on Sundays for religious such work. Now have never seen MT. Mansfield in any of his plays, and have been thinking of attending some evening, as I believe in the Shakespearean drama and other class stage performances. But if MT. Mansfield feels that way about the use of theatre buildings by Christian peo- pie, ana mas no more ildlluShS thhh to express himself on the subject with pro fanity, then he should not receive sin gle dollar out of the Christian pockets of Chicago"
 Mr. Mansfield in a statement last even ing, declared in the most positive terms that Dr. Halls statement is utterly false. He says that he has the very highest re- spect for churches and church people; he never plays on Sundays, although the provocation to do so is sometimes very great his friends also allege that he never uses profanity. In view of all these things, Mir Mansfield thinks that he has been mallciously slandered, and he de- clares he will enter suit at once against Dr. Hall for islander unless complete and public apology is made.
 The actor has notified his lawyer at Chicago to demand the apology and the demand has been made. The preacher, however, refuses to make any retrac- ton and says that if MT. Mansfield de- sires to bring suit against him on the basis of his remarks 1t would probably be very interesting one.

 Replying to the assistant district at- torney Molineux said he had full charge of Hermann's account in the color de- partment. He told of the chemicals used and said that Prussian blue, English vermillion and red ochre contained com ponents of cynaide of mercury. He fre- quently made experiments with colors. Although he had studied chemistry, he had never heard of cyande of mercury until after Mrs. Adams death, it was an extremely rare poison. He was fond of athletics and knew and had boxed with Joseph Farrell. It was Farrell who testified at the last trial that he saw Molineux near Hartgeden's store where the bottle holder was bought about the time the prosecution alleges the holder was purchased. Asked about Mamie Melando, Molineux said she had access to his room in the Newark factory only when she was sent there. When the de- fendant gave up this residence in New ark he went to the Knickerbocker Ath- letic club to live.
