While Commander Sears was on the
Stand Captain Lenity asked his age,
but the court, nfter quite n prolonged
consultation In retirement, decided
that the question was not admissible.
It held, however, that the time of
service could be Inquired into.
Mr. Kayner sought to secure the In
troduction of a brief report of the bat
tle of July 3 which Commodore Schley
prepared for transmission to the sec
retary of the navy. It was stated that
Commander Sears had taken this dis
patch ashore to be cabled to the sec
retary, but that It never had readied
that olllcial. The dispatch was ruled
out. on the ground that as it was not
received It was not an olllcial commit
ideation. It was not read In the court
room, but the following is a copy of it:
"Spanish squadron came vat of San
tiago harbor this morning, July It, at

ALBANY, Oct. Ki.-Roland B. Moli
neux gets a new trial. The court of ap
peals has handed down a decision re
versing the Judgment of coinlctlon ol '
murder in the first degree against htm
and granting him a new trial. I'ot ,
months Molineux has been In Sing ;
Sing prison awaiting death under sen j
teiic' for the murder by poison of Mrs.
Kntherino J. Adams. This case wait
argued before the court of appeals nt '
Buffalo on June 2S, David B. Hill ask- I
lng the court to confirm the lowcl '
court's conviction of Molineux, while
John G. Mlllilllll nt ttnn'fitii iiimenred I
for Molineux, arguing for a new trial.
' All the members of the court fa vol
granting Molineux a new trial, the
opinion being written by Judge Wernel
and being about 25.000 words long.
The only subject about width the
members of the court differ in their
opinions relates to the testimony In
troriuced tending to show that Moli
neux caused the death of Burnet by the
same method as that used in taking the
life of Mrs. Adams. Four of the mem
bers of the court, Judges O'Brien, Bart
lett. Vann and Werner, agree that the
evidence should not have been receiv
ed, and the reason for It is stated In
the opinions written by Judge:) O'Brien
and Werner.
The other three Judges. Chief Judge
Parker. Gray and Haight. hold that
that evidence Is admissible In that the
evidence In the Barnet case pointing
toward Molineux tends to Identify him
as the person who killed Mrs. Adams
while attempting to take the life of
Cornish by means of that rare poison
known as cyanide of mercury, the
chief Judge and Judge Gray writing
opinions to that effect.
Molineux was placed tin trial before
Recorder Johu W. (iolT in part 2 of the
court of general sessions on Nov. 4,
lS'.rj. The trial lasted more than three
months. The verdict of guilty was
rendered on Feb. 14, l'.inn.

tenced to tile in the electric chair at

house at Sing Sing prison that same
day. A stay pending an appeal was

ANTIPATHIES OF DOGS.

V rsons who are fond of dogs cnni'ot
fail to notice whnt very odd antipathies
they take. A pug dog owned bp nn up
town man showed the grentt -t aversion
to bags of charcoal, purchased by the
owner in winter tocoiisrrve the hent of
the fire. 1 f one of 1 hese bags as placed
across thp threshold of a room the (log
would bark antl spring at It with the
greatest ilemotistrat ion of ferocity of
which n dog is enpab; but he would
Hot touch the offending object.
The production of the charcoal l)Bg
was found to be a much more effective
punishment and mentis of restraint
than the severest whipping.
A man who heart! this story told an
another, says the Philadelphia Record,
conerrnlng his Gordon setter, which
manifests the most extravagant terror
at the tight of n bicycle pump. At the
approach of the pump he will scurry
away, barking shrilly in the wildest
t xeil enietit. At times he will become
so infuriated as to leap toward it, but
he always turns tail before actually
touching it, and the sight of the pump
will subdue him when all other meth
ods of correction fail.
