Charge of Murder.
I THE TESTIUOHT OF THE EXPERTS
ill Declare That Molineux Addressed

fftm York, Fob. 28. Itnlond Hurnhnm
Ijulinetis, son of General bMlif Moli
1 bpiix. of Brooklyn, wan arretted last
,jht charged with murdering Mrs.
UathiTiue J. Adams, in this city on
Dm-. '2S, 1S!N. He wus locked in
lb,. Tombs prison. The arrest followed
Ibe verdict of the coroner's jury ac
cusing him of the crime. While the In
quest Tal inm the death of Mrs. Adams,
it also went into the circumstances ot
tbe ilcath of Henry 0. Harnet, of the
Knickerbocker Athletic club, who was
noisuned by a powder received throned
tbp mails, as was Mrs. Adams. The
cases are bo closely connected that they
cat) scarcely be considered separately.
The proceedings of the tinal day of the
inquest were sensational in the highest
decree. The case had drained along
monotonously, witnesses being examined
ROLAND n. MOLINEUX.
for the sole purpose, as it seemed, of
contradicting llarry Cornish's testimony
ia minor details or of eliciting sug
gestions as to a motive that might have
led Cornish to commit the crime. The
DCWSpapori from the beginning had
stuck to Molineux as the person most
to he susiMfcted, but the prosecuting of
ficials apparently never harbored such a
thought. The examiner was kind ami
gentle when Molineux was ou the stand,
gruff and severe when dealing with Cor
nish. The curtain rose on the last act of the
melodrama yesterday afternoon. A shop
keeper who rented private letter boxes
swore positively that Molinenx was Ml
patron, using the name ot "II. 0, Bar
net." It was proved long ago that bot
tles of medicine had been sent to that
letter box. Then the handwriting ex
perts were called, and one after another
declared that the bnnd that wrote the ad
dress on the poison package and forged
the names of Harry Cornish and H. C.
Barnet to letters sent to drug firms or
dering powder medicines was the hand
ef Roland B. Molineux. The experts
were absolutely certain in their identifi
cation of the penmanship! and would
make no qualification of their state
ments. District Attorney (Jardiuer then
Hummed uj the case, directly accusing
Molineux.
The jury lirought in a verdict charging
Molineux with the murder, ami he was
at once arrested and committed to the
Tombs without bail.
Molineux is a member of the New
York Athletic club, tind was, until his
quarrel with Harry Cornish, n prominent

fhe jury deliberated three hours and a
hif. and then returned with a verdict
adding Molineux responsible for Mrs. I
Aims' death. The coroner imnu-di- :

QUAY TRIAL AGAIN POSTPONED.
This Time tha Prosecution Objects to
Proceeding With the Case.
Philadelphia, Feb. L'S. The trial of
the Quay conspiracy case has been post
poned nntil April 10. The announcement
was made iu court before Judge Beitler
by District Attorney Rothermel. No
OQMf bad the change been made known
than it was asserted that the cause for
halting the case wus uu astounding dis
covery affecting the jury panel. Officii la
in the district attorney's otllee declined
to discuss this, beyond stating that (hen
was only reason why the trial should
not go on, the prosecution being entirely
In readiness to proceed. Kumor had it
that a case of iniicrsonatioi bad been
detected, but concerning this no definite
information wus obtainable.
After court adjourned Mr. Botherniel
said in reply to nn interrogation: "While
I will say nothing whatever about the
cause which induced me to Continue the
case, except what I said iu court. I can
state that the entire subject was submit
ted to Judge Beitler and approved by
him before I made the application for
p istpoucnicnt."
Senator Quay's counsel had this to
say: "The fact of the matter is that
there is nothing whatever in the case.
Our experts have examined the books
and documents. They are mutilated,
false and I fraud upon their fa.ee. We
are prepared to prove conclusively thai
the entries implicating Senator Quay and
his son were made six months after
the alleged conspiracy had been consum
mated and the fruits, if any. hail been
reaped. The commonwealth must ad'
nut this. Their own experts will testify
to it."
Mr. Bothermel denies that the books
have been mutilated.

BRAZILIANS TO BLAME.
Forced French Boundary Commis
sioners to Act In Keif Defense.
Kingston, Jamaica, Peb. 28. Further
advices from Cayenne, capital of r reach
Uuiana. say that auuitional French
troops have lieen dispatched to Counaui,
because the governor received inforniu
tion that a strong body of Brazilians
was proceeding up the river. It is pre
sumed that the French troops went to
meet them.
Every effort is being made to suppress
oMciul news about the situation between
the bellicose boundary commissioners and
! their forces. . But advices received from
j fugitive settlers say the present state of

from which the Brazilians hastily
withdrew and removed their camp, in
the collision a few men were killed asd
some were wounded on both sides.
The camps, it appears, subsequently
sustained n watchful peace, while await'
ing instructions. The natives are said
to he preparing to join in the fighting if
hostilities are renewed, which is enusint
the foreign settlers to flee from the vis
turbed district, abandoning their prop
erty.

London, Feb. 28. The Standard's cor

The fitu from which he has suffered have

i quite possible that the disquieting re

It is now known beyond question that
the men composing this expedition expect
to do some fighting in Central America,
lieports as to their destination have
been conflicting, both Guatemala an I
Honduras having been mentioned, but
men who are leaders in the adventure

their real destination is Nicaragua. The
men enlisting have been assured that the
invaders have good backing and have
been told that capitalists of national
prominence arc furnishing the money to
equip, trans port and arm the expedition.
The men are said to have been promised
rewards in lands and concessions.

work on a railroad.

Durham Investigated the affair, but
when the band started south they both
declared they bad discovered nothing
to warrant the arrest of the alleged in

ington authorities fully. Dr. U. hi.
Heath, consul here for Honduras, has
also notified his government and the
Honduras consul at New Orleans of the
movement.

Textile Council representatives, held
yesterday, the final proposition to the
operatives was a complete restoration of
the wage scale prior to the cut down of
Jan. 3. 1896, The cut at that time was
one-ninth in all departments, which
meant a decrease of over S2(.(HK in the
weekly payroll of the mill workers of the
city. The restaratiou will date from
April 8 next. The offer of the manu
facturers included a clause requiring the
endeavors of the local labor leaders to
bring about the adoption of a sliding
scale at the convenience of the manu
facturers ntid operatives alike. The
restoration, however, was not made con
