EXTRAORDINARY
INTEREST IN CASE
Mr. Black Names Cornish as tho
Guilty Tarty in tho Crime for
AVhieh Molincux Is On Trial and
Declares That Motive Points to
Him A Scathing Denunciation.
Assistant District Attorney Os
borne Ridicules the Theory. of the
Counsel for the Defense Charge of
Justice Lambert Will Bo Delivered
This Afternoon,
tj Exclusive Wirs from 'flic Awiciatrd Press.
New York, Nov. 10. The fate of Rol
and 13. Molineux will be determined to
moirow. When court adjourned this
evening, Justice Lambert announced
that bn would allow Assistant District
Attorney Osborne but two hours an J a
half more to finish summing up, which
means that tho court will deliver its
charge and the case will go to tho jury
during tho afternoon.
The court room was crowded to suf
focation when, at the opening of to
day's session, former Governor Black
rose to sum up for the defense. After a
general defense of Molineux, whom ho
declared the prosecution had utterly
failed to connect in any way with the
death of Mrs. Adams, Mr. Black passed
to a scathing denunciation of Harry
Cornish, to whoso guilt, and not that
of Molineux, he declared every circum
stance In tho case directly pointed.
More than half of Mr. Black's address,
which occupied nearly four hours, was
levoted to an analysis of Cornish's con
"luet and testimony and of the testi
mony of other witnesses in a manner
to support bis contention that Cornish's
.actions were not consistent with his in
nocence of the crime of which Molineux
stands accused.
Mr. Osborne based his argument for
the ptosccution, today, largely on tho
testimony of tho handwriting experts,
which, he said, conclusively showed
Molineux to have been the writer of tho
poison package address and of the other
clisrjuted exhibits.
Ex-Governor Black's Plea.
Kx-Govcrnor Black, of counsel for
Jtoland B. Molineux, on trial for the
murder of Mrs. Kathorlne .1. Adams,
without making the formal motion fur
the dismissal of tho indictment, began
summing up the case for the defense
befoto Justice Lambert In the criminal
branch of the Supreme court shortly
ai'tei 10 o'clock today. It was expected
Hun Mr. Black's address to'the jury
would bn finished in less than two
hours, and that Assistant District At
torney Osborne would mm tin for the
State after the noon recess. Kx-Govor-uor
Bl.'iik, however, spoke longer than
hac1 been expected. There Is a possibil
ity that the case may be disposed of by
tonight. Tin- prisoner, his father and
his fl lends are confident that he will be
a f;ee man tomorrow.
The Interest manifested by the public
In lho case was extraordinary. A spe
cial detachment of policemen formed a
hollow square about tho entrance of the
courtroom, and hold at bay Hie crowd
that demanded admittance to the sceno
of tho trial, Many of tho would-be
spectators were stylishly dressed wo
men, and they were among tho most
Importunate, The policemen smiled
stolidly at their demands, and passed
in only those who held cards of admis
sion. Mr. Black repealed with Insistence
that Molineux never wrote tho address
on the poison package. Whatever Moi
iueux was, ho said, ho was not' u fool,
He would not have addressed u package
of poison to a club where his hand
writing was known. "Now lot inn ask
you," said Mr. Hlack significantly to
tho jurors, "If a man were sending a
package to himself would he need to
address It at all? My desk Is full or
envelopes addressed to me. It I were
sending a package to myself could I nut
use one or those'.'"
Mr, Black declared at this point that
lie hud eliminated Molineux from tho
case,
Names Cornish,
Then caino the dramatic portion of
tho ex-go vornnr's address. Ho paused
for a moment, It seemed as though
he had forgotten his promise to Indicate
tho man to whom ho thought tho evl
denco In the case pointed. When finally
he began to speak tho excitement was
intense, Tho spectators hung on the
speaker's words with breathless atten
tion. JSvcry ono In (ho room realized
' what was coming. Mr, Black began by
paying that ho felt it his duty to stato
to tho Jury the whole case as ho saw
it.
"A crime was committed," he said,
"and there was a motlvo for it. Tho
motive points to Harry S. Cornish."
Then he rehearsed Cornish's record,
liow his wife had secured a divorce
from him. how ho had met Mrs. Rogers,
nml how she later was divorced from
her husband. K. Governor Black told
the story In fervid language. Ho turn
ed on Cornish once or twice during his
narration. Cornish was with his father
iui ""'iiiur, and when under the scath-
lug dcnunelatlm 3 i.Mr. tUiu'U, with all
rye 11 riveted on , Cornish betrayed
emotions cither - rmibnnnssmont or
nnnoyanre. Ho ' .iened ami turned
pale. Once ho lau ,j '!.
At tho aftornoo ."HHlon Mr. Black
traced Cornish's ' on after Mr.".
Adams'' (lent It:
"Wore Ills actions tt Vo oC an honest
iimnV" he asked. ""o dld he not go
home and help Mrs.' Jgors In her
trouble? No lio wanted to pose. Ilo
showed himself tn his chemist friend,
Yocimi and then went to bed in Yo
cum's loom In the club. Then ho called
In live friends to tell thorn how Hick bo
was. What else did ho do? Ho stayed
away from tho Adams' Hat until after
tin funeral. He never dared to face
that dead woman."
Kx-Gnvorncir Black declared tho ease
against Cornish far stronger than the
case against Moliiioux.
"Kvery fact in the ease." ho said,
"points to Cornish and nothing except
thi! testimony or the handwriting ex
perts points to Molincux."
Mr. Ulaek closed at 3.2."., having
spoken throe hours anil fifty-five min
utes. Attorney Osborne's Address.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne,
in opening for the prosecution ridiculed
tho theory of tho counsel for tho de
fense that the death of Mrs. Adams
was the result of a deliberate design
by Cornish, and argued that it would
be absurd to suppose that Cornish
would go down town to mail a package
to himself.
"It Is not disputed by tho defense,
Mr. Osborne went on, "that tho three
Cornish letters and the poison package
wrapper were in the same handwriting.
Well, look at the corner Governor
Black has put himself in by trying to
show that Cornish is the criminal.
Cornish must have taken the address
from some parcel, and have got the
writer to write throe letters for him
and signed 'II. Cornish' to them. That
writer would own Cornish body and
soul, and could hand him over to the
law for conviction and electrocution. It
is not reasonable to suppose anything of
the sort.
"If Governor Mack's assumptions are
true," Mr. Osborne said. "Cornish, with
out any necessity for doing so, handed
over to tho authorities the only means
of tracing the crime to him and his
associates, the poison wrapper, the
poison and the silver holder. Is that
a fair reasoning'.'"
Mr. Osborne touched on Governor
Black's charge that tho prosecution had
suppressed the evidence of the envel
opes found In Molineux's desk.
"Now I am not hurt at that charge."
ho said. "Governor Black did not mean
that personally, and I took it in a Pick
wickian sense. Ho did not mean that
any mure than he meant wo suppressed
the envelopes of tho Cornish letters. Ho
knows that wo never had those envel
opes. The envelopes taken from Mol
ineux's desk were given to tho defense
and tho other letters we suppressed
were marked for Identification in tho
last trial and eliminated from this trial,
because the defense thought wo had
enough handwriting exhibits without
them."
Referring to the statement made by
Mr. Clack that Cornish did not attend
tho funeral of Mrs. Adams, and daro
not face the dead woman, Mr. Osborne
read from tho minutes to show that Mr.
Cornish visited tho Hat before Airs.
Adams' body was removed, and that
ex-Governor Black had refused to let
him tell on tho stand why he was ab
sent from the funeral. Then counsel
.contradicted ex-Governor Black's con
tention that Cornish was shamming
sick, and read the evidene" of tho doc
tors who attended Cornish In tho
Knickerbocker Athletic club, who said
thoy found him suffering from an Irrit
ant nolsciiing.
The insinuation that n motive for tho
murder of Mrs. Adams could be found
In Cornish's feelings for Mrs. Rogers,
tho prosecuting attorney said was not
worthy of consideration. All tho evi
dence, ho said, showed that Mrs. Adams
and Cornish wore on the best of terms,
and ho added that there was nothing
against Mrs. Rogers' character except
tho Insinuations of the defendant's law
yers, Counsel went on to say that he would
ptovo tho state's side of tho case with
out recourse to any old woman who
saw some handwriting for a moment in
the dark of a winter's evening and rec
ognized It again after a period of four
years. The stato, ho said, hnil no re
markable coincidence- to present like
tho testimony of Martin Huff, who hap
pciicd into tho Newark store Just as tho
iiottle-holder was being sold, nnd who
two years later found himself working
side by side with tho brother of Gen
eral Molincux,
The Question of Motive. .
Corning to tho question of motive,
Mr, Osbonii) went on to show that
Molincux had attempted to injure Cor
nish uvea utter Molincux hud loft tho
club and cited as evldenco of the en
during nature of Molineux's III will,
tho Schloffer letter written nearly a
year after his resignation 1'ioin the
Knickerbocker Athletio club, and the
Jotter about Harpster, Cornish's friend,
sent to Stoa.ms and company, "wo
find," ho went on, "that Molineux Jiad
tho motive nnd wo find that he had
or could hnvo had the poison. Ho
was experimenting In the manufac
ture of ship paint and ono of the uses
of cynnldo of mercury Is for tho man
ufacture of ship paint," x
As to the purchase of tho bottlo
holder, Mr, Osborne snld that Molincux
was dally In Newark, and knew the
Hartdcgen storo well, whom he had n
friend, Arnold. Why then, ho asked,
did not the defense cnll Arnold who
hud refused to come here for tho pros
ecution. Taking up tho evidence of tho hand
writing experts, .Mr. Osborne said tho
testimony of David H. C.'nrvalho, the
oxpert called by the defense, proved
his contention; that Molineux wrote,
tho poison package wrapper, Car va lho
sald the wrapper address was not dis
guised sufficiently to hide tho charac
teristics of tho natural hand of tho
writer.
"By whom do t convict Moliiioux of
that writing'.'" It" demanded. "Out of
lho mouths of bis enemies'.' No. nut
of the mouths of his friends. Two
bankers of Newark who know Molin
cux and his writing, and who had no
enmity towards Moliiioux, told you
they worn sure Molineux wrote thus",
disputed writings. I am satisfied to
let that portion of tho accusation
against Molineux rest upon tho testi
mony of Carvalho."
Mr. Osborne declared that, no man
could avoid seeing tho likeness be
tween the characters In tho conceded
writing of Molineux and tho poison
package wrapper. IW argued that lho
writer dared not entirely hide his hand
or use printing characters or a type
writer or fear of defeating his object
by arousing the suspicion of lho recipi
ent of tho package. The sender of Hint
package had to use a pen, "He found
himself having to decide," counsel
continued, "between tho scylla of
doubt and tho charybdls of his own
Identity."
At fi o'clock Justice Lambert, an
nounced a suspension of tho proceed
ings until tomorrow morning.
Mr. Osborne said It would take hint
three hours to finish his address, but
Justice Lambert said he would allow
him only two nnd a half hours. That
will take him to the time for adjourn
ing for lunch and the afternoon ses
sion will bo started with the charge
of Justice Lambert.
FIRE ON THE NEW
EAST RIVER BRIDGE
The Construction of the Bridge Is
Damaged to the Extent of Half
a Million Dollars.
Br Exclusive Wire from The Aswcitted Press.
New York, Nov. 10. The new East
river bridge, in process of construction
between New York and Brooklyn was
damaged to the extent of half a million
dollars by a fire that raged S33 feet in
the air on the summit of the great
tower for four hours this evening, on
the Now York side. Three men who
were at work on top of tho tower are
reported to have fallen Into the river.
Owing to the enormous height of tho
tower it was impossible to reach the
fire with any apparatus and the flames
after devouring all tho wood work on
top of the tower seized on the timber
false work of the two foot bridges sus
pended from main cables, burning away
the supports until nearly a million feet
of blazing lumber fell with' a mighty
splash and hiss into the stream. Tho
fall of the foot bridge carried away
scores of the lighter cables and guys
which trailed in the water, rendering
it necessary for the police to stop all
traffic up and down tho river.
The fire started in a toolshed and
from this spread to the great timber
framework. Within five minutes after
the first discovery of the fire, tho whole
top of the tower was in a blaze. Then
the footbridges fell, carrying with them
tons of bolts, rivets, nuts and tools.
At that moment the Brooklyn tiro boat
was just, below the bridge and a heavy
steel beam fell on her breaking her
rudders and sending her drifting help
less down the stream. Pound steamers
and all other up-river navigation was
stopped. The fire was the most spec
tacular conilagratlon that has ever
been seen in New York.
NEW CUBAN RAILROAD.

bed Is naturally In a bad condition,
but thousands of men are at work
ballasting the track.
The completion of this railroad Is
the greatest Cuban achievement, of

LABOR UNIONS DENOUNCED.
President Eliot Believes They Are
Opposed to Education.
fly llxrluih'i: Wire fiom 'flic Associated I'irtt.
Boston, Nov, 10, Before the Koonnmlo
chfb of Boston at their banquet tonight,
President fillol, of Harvard, denounced
the labor unions of tho country as op
posed to tho education of young men,
and what he termed "their light against
tho development or manly Instincts,"
In closing ho characterized the strike
breaker or "scab," as he called him, "a
good typo of tho Amerlruu hero,"
The principal objection to the labor
unions, from tho educator's point of
vlow, he said, was their objection to
young mon becoming competent me
chanics, and that they do prevent this
Is evident from lho fact that nil unions
attempt tp limit the number of appren
tices employed In any union. Tho right
to labor is considered the most sacred
right of the American citizen.
President F.llot's objection to the
labor unions, was, he said, that tho ob
ject of tho union seemed to bo to work
as few hours as possible, produce as
little as possible during that time and
to rccelvo as much money as possible
for the service given. This attitude
was in 'effect nothing more than a
constant fight against the development
of manly Instincts. Ho said ho hail a
profound contempt for any man who
did not choose to labor every day Just
as long as his strength would permit.

PERRY HELD TO BAIL.
The Negro Who Pawned Watches
Taken from Claia Morton and

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Boston. Mass., Nov. 10, George L. O.
Perry, tho negro who admits that he
pawned tho watches taken from Clara
A. Morton and Agnes McPhee, who
were murdered In Wavetiy and Somer
vlllo last month, was taken to court;
today.
After a conference between the stato
officers and Judge Charles Almy, Perry
was ordered held ns a witness against
Mason. His ball was fixed at $1,000.
It is understood that the decision to
hold Perry as a witness Instead of ar
raigning him as an accessory, was duo
chiefly to the fact that as a witness
Perry can not only glvo testimony
against Mason, but can bo forced to
tell of his own movements and every
relation he has had with others during
tho tlmo tho ussaults have been com
jnltod in Cambridge, Somorvlllo and
other suburbs.
Undt'f an arrangement made by
Judge Almy and tho police, both Ma
son and Perry will appear In court
tomorrow, It is believed so compli
cated has the case become that both
tho commonwealth and tho defense will
ask for another continuance In order
that they may hnvo time for continued
investigntlon.
Tho Cambridge police are now
strongly of tho opinion that thorn is
another necro who knows something
of tho wholo case, particularly about

AN INCENDIARY"
RECEIVES A BULLET
Deputies, Guarding the Home of
People Who Have Been Perse
cuted, Fire with Effect.
Special to the Scrantoh Tribune.
Plttston, Nov. 10. An unsuccessful
attempt was made at an early hour
this morning to set fire to the old Lu
zerne house building on Philadelphia
avenue, near the West Plttston depot
on the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad. The incendiary was
discovered In the attempt, and although
he made good1 his escape, it is thought
he carried with him a bullet from the
gun of ono of tho deputies who have
been on guard at the house. The build
ing is a large three-story ono and was
originally erected for hotel purposes. At
present three or four families occupy It.
During tho strike a couple of the fam
ilies boarded a number of non-union
men and deputies who were working at
the Exeter colliery, nearby. The occu
pants of the building have been placed
on the blacklist and have been threat
ened on several occasions, and given
much annoyance. So much so, that
during the encampment of the Klghth
regiment at Duryea, one company was
sent to West Plttston night and day,
with explicit instructions to give pro
tection to the inmates of this building.
Even since the close of the strlko these
people have been subjected to petty an
noyances, and two deputies have been
stationed in tho vicinity every night.
At an early hour this morning tho
guards discovered a man with an oll
can pouring kerosene on the side of tho
building. Ho fled immediately on their
approach, but one of the guards fired a
shot after him.
The incendiary was evidently hit by
tho bullet, for when the shot was fired
bo uttered a groan and dropped to his
knees, but quickly arose and continued
his flight in tho direction of a hill close
by, wtiore several persons weie seen
awaiting him. The deputies were afraid
to give chase.

APOLOGY FROM
MAJOR MILLAR TO RETIRE.
He Plau3 to Quit the National Guard
in a Few Weeks.
Major W. S. Millar, assistant adjut
ant general of the Third brigade, yes
terday nnnounccd his Impending retire
ment from the National Guard after a
continuous service of over twenty-live
years. Tho major said that ho will re
tire within a few weeks and will not
wait until the retirement of Brigadier
J. P. S. (Joblii next summer.
"I havo given the best twenty-live
years of my life to tho service of the
state," said ho, "nnd I fori that 1 have
earned a rest.' My retirement will be
absolutely final and J will never- enter
the gunrd again. My service has
caused mo the loss of much valuable
time and lias occasioned the expendi
ture of a very largo amount of money
for which I have received no adequate
return. Altogether too much politics
has crept Into the guard within tho
last few years and I fear that It will
have a very bad effect before long."
Major Millar's record in the guard Is
an enviable ono and represents a long
and faithful service. Ho enlisted ub a
private in Company B. of the City
Guard, on Aug. 14, 1S7V, was made ser
geant on March 81, 1ST!), and was elect
ed second lieutenant on Nov. HO, 1881.
On July 2", ISS.i, be was chosen adjut
ant of the newly organized Thirteenth
regiment, which place he hold until
Oct. 28. 1S90, when lie was appointed
Inspector of the Third brigade, with
the rank of major. He held this posi
tion, despite several attempts at res
ignation, until 1S09, when he was ap
pointed assistant adjutant general on
General Gobln's staff, a position which
he now holds.
