WITNESS ACCUSES CORNISH
MRS. STEPHENSON THINKS HE
MAILED POISONED PACKAGE.
Declares Positively That MoIIneux Is
Not the Man She Saw at the New York
Main PostOGce With Package Marked
This Testimony Forward at the First
Trial Failed.

New York Nov. 6-The greatest sem
sation in the second trial of Roland B.
MolineuX, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Adams, came late to-day when
Mrs. Hannah Stephenson, the wife of
a Brooklyn policeman, was called to the
lively that MolineuX was not the man
stand by the defence and testified posi-
who mailed the now famous poison
package at the general postoffice on the
evening of December 90, 1898. Then the
witness partially identified Harry Cor
nish, who was asked to stand up in
court as the man whom she saw stand
ing in front of her in the line at-the
postoffice and holding in his hand a
package addressed to "Mr. Harry Corn
islB Knickerbocker." That was all she
saw, Her identification Of Cornish
was not positive. She said he looked
very much like the man, but hesitated
before replying affirmatively when ask
ed if she did not think he was the man.
The account given by the witness of
her movements on the evening of De-
cember % and her reasons for not ap-
pearing at the first trial were given in
detail
The prosecution on cross examination
brought out the fact that Mrs Stephen
son had suffered from attacks of ner-
vous prostra tion within the last two
years and had carefully read the details
of the former trial. The questions of
the assistant district attorney tended
to show insanity or delusion under hys-
terra.
The witness under questions by the
prosecution said there were three
stamps on the package and when
shown the wrapper with five stamps on
it in two rows. said she might have
overlooked the lower row. Mrs. Steph-
enson was'on the stand when court ad-
journed for the day. Other witnesses
were handwriting experts who all tes-
titled that Molineux did not write the
address on the poison package. A clerk
in drug store testified that he had
sold bromo-seltZer to Cornish, also to
Mrs. Rogers. Miss Miller, a clerk in
the store where the bottleholder was
purchased. testified that she sold the
holder late in the evening. Her evil
dence was corroborated by man who
was in the store at the time. The pros
ecution has held that the holder was
purchased early in the afternoon. Miss
Miller positively swore that the man
who bought the holder was not Moli
neux. The trial will be continued to-
morrow morning.

SENSATIONS In MASON Case
IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES MADE
AT PAWNSHOP

Last Saturday.
ments in the case of Alan G. Mason, of
Mason & Hamlin, the piano manufact-
urers, who is under arrest charged with
the murder of Miss Clara Morton, a
1aundress at the Mclean asylum in
Waverly, last Saturday night, have
been of startling nature. 1t was an
nounced that the watch Of the victim
had been found in a Cambridge street
pawnshop, where it had been pawned
for Sd by a young coIored man, and this
discovery at once led to a general
search of the city for this man by the
entire police force, but without avail.
But later developments were more sem
sational.
When the pawnbroker's memory had
been logged a little, and he had had
time to think over the matter, he re-
brought to his office on last Saturday
night, between the hours of IL and
11:30 by white man, and offered in
pawn. Owing to the fact that it was
after business hours he refused to re-
ceive it. and after expressing disap-
pointment the man departed, taking the
watch with him.
On Monday morning the same watch
was brought in by a colored man, about
twenty-one years of age, of whom the
pawnbroker bought it for four dollars
A burly colored man, evidently a COM
panion of the other, had been waiting
outside the shop while the trade was
being made, and as soon as it was COM
pIeted he entered and took the money
which the proprietor had passed over.
Both men then departed.
Continuing their Investigations, the
officers made another startling discoV-
cry which will have an important bear
ing on the case, to the effect that the
watch of Miss Agnes McPhee of Somer-
willie, another Jack -the-slugger" VIC
time, had been pawned at the same
Cambridge street shop on October 8, the
day after her murder, by white man,
whose description Tailed exactly with
that of the man who brought the MoS=
ton watch to the pawnbroken last Sat
urday night.
The descriptions of these mensis said
to agree to a striking extent with that
of suspect Mason, and the pawnbroker
will be given a chance tomorrow to
identify him if possible. The unexpect-
ed developments to-day have been most
unfavorable to the prisoner, although
his friends still claim that he can fully
establish an alibi. Search for the mys-
terious colored man is being carried on
as vigorously as ever and all sections
of the city are being closely watched by
the police tonight.
Two days ago the state police arrest
ed A. G. Mase, the wealthy business
man ana club member of Boston, on
suspicion of having killed Miss Morton.
After a days investigation the author
ities We're convinced that Mason could
establish an alibi and they announced
that he would be released, but during
the succeeding night, witnesses were
found who positively identified Mason
as one whom they had seen in Waverly,
where the murder was committed on
Saturday night.
On the strength of the evidence yes
terday warrant charging Mason with
murder was issued and he was held
without bail until Tuesday.

CAPT ROGERS AND
THE COMMISSION
Collector is Charged With Vic
lating the Internal Reye.
nue. Laws,

Captain Asa Rogers, collector of IN
ternal revenue for this district, was be-
fore Civil Service Examiner Daily last
week for alleged violation of the civil
service laws. The investigation was made
at the request of Mr.. Ross Hinton, of
Petersburg, formerly storekeeper-gauger
in that city, who was relieved and put
on the waiting list, and his office filled
by Mr.. r. NJ Thomas, Of Amelia county.
Mr. Hinton In his affidavit charges that
the change was made for political rea-
sons. Mr.. Thomas has been in the SER
vice for eight years. having entered 1t
before examinations were necessary.
Prior to his appointment as storekeeper
he stood an examination for the office
and made forty-seven per cent, Mr..
Hinton, whom he succeeded, having made
94.65 per cent. Mr.. Hinton after having
filled the position for two years and four
months, was notified on the morning of
December 31st last that his services
would no longer be needed after o'clock
that afternoon. He states in his affidavit
that when he approached Captain Rogers
and asked the reason Of his discharge,
that Captain Rogers told him considera-
BILE pressure was brought to bear by the
people of Amelia county.
Among Mr.. Thomas supporters was
General, Bradley T. Johnson, who has
an intimate friendship with the Presl-
dent. A few days after Mr.. Hinton
discharge friend Of his recommended
him to the Kanawha Fuel Company, and
this company communicated with Cap
tain Rogers in reference to Mr.. Hinton
and his fitness for the position. Captain
Rogers wrote an exceedingly strong let
ter commanding Mr.. Hinton to the COM
pany, saying he was fly competent to
occupy any position for which he might
apply, was diligent. painstaking. reliable
and heartily recommended him to the COM
pany. This letter Is filed with Mr.. Hin
toms affidavits.
Captain Rogers told Mr.. Hinton that
She was not discharged. but relieved OF
duty and put on the waiting list. and
that he would be given an office the
first time vacancy occurred. Since
that time, about two months ago, a
vacancy occurred, but was filled by an
other who stood the examination since
the first Of this year. Thomas, when
he entered upon his work in Richmond.
although he had been in the service for
eight years. told Hinton she knew abso-
lutely nothing Of the duties, and offered
to pay him whatever he would charge
to stay and teach him for week
The main evidence collected by Hin
ton is to show that he was relieved
upon recommendation Of the collector
for political reasons. Mr.. r. L. Monta-
gue. of this city, is counsel for Mr..
Hinton. The evidence Is now before the
Civil Service Commissioners at wash
tngton and their decision Is expected
Within a short ume. Should it be un-
favorable to Mr. Hinton he Will bring
the matter to the personal attention OF
the President.
Both Messrs. Thomas and dlnton are
