fcdiwnd routine" business being transacted.
Pritchard delivered a long and carefully
prepared address on the race question in
the tSouth, his remarks being addressed

tion by his -colleagues.

THE DAY IX THE SENATE.
Pritchard on the Xojrro Question
Turner on the Philippines.
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Soon after the
senate convened today a joint resolution,
was offered by Piatt (rep , N. T.), au
thorizing the president to ask the govern
ment of Great Britain to join In the pro
motion of an international commission to
examine and report on the division of wat
ers that are the "bpundaries of the two
countries. It "nas referred to the commit
tee on foreign relations.
Hoar (rep, Mass), chairman of the
judiciary committee, reported back the.
resolution of Rawlins (dem., Utah), for
an inquiry upon polygamy, with a rec
ommendation that the first and last para
graphs of the resolution be adopted. The
report was accepted and the resolution
as amended was adopted. The resoluti6n
as passed reads:
'T what extent polygamy is practiced
or polygamous marriages entered Into In.
the United States or in places where they
have jurisdiction. "What, If any, steps
should be taken or measures enacted for
The prevention of polygamy in the United
States and places over which it has juris
diction." Alien (pop., Neb.) offered a resolution
calling -upon the secretary of the treas
ury to furnish the senate with all the
Information, consisting of correspondence
and verbal communications, he may have
had with A P. Hepburn and other offi
cials of the National City, bank, of New
York, concerning the transmission of the
custom-house of New Tork to the Na
tional City bank. It went over under ob
jection. At the conclusion of the routine busi
ness, Pritchard (rep., N. C.) called up his
resolution relating to the proposed amend
ment to the constitution of North Caro
lina, which, if adopted, It is alleged, will
disfranchise a large class of voters of
he istate. After reading the resolution,
Pritchard addressed the senate, his ad
dress being in answer to that delivered
several days ago by Senator 3Torgan.
Pritchard said the question Involved the
peace and welfare of the nation and the
stability of our institutions. The con
stitution guaranteed to each state- a re
publican government. If Senator Mor
gan's contention prevailed there would
be pure nullification. He said the demo
crats of North Carolina .were attempting
to deprive certain citizens of guaranteed
rights, just as the democrats of Louisi
ana had done. Pritchard said that If
Senator Morgan was right, then the dem
ocratic party ought to have the courage
to propose the abrogation of the 15th
amendment, which gives the negro the
right of franchise. He said the adoption
of the proposed amendment to the North
Carolina constitution would sound the
death knell to the aspirations of every
Zeb Vance democrat in the state. "While
it is claimed that the object of the pro
posed amendment was to secure white su
premacy, said Pritchard, the real purpose
Is to disfranchise thousands of white and
colored citizens, and-thus create an office
holding class. There could be no fear of
negro 'domination in North Carolina, de
clared Pritchard, because the whites out
numbered the blacks by two to one. He
regarded the attempt to amend the con
stitution as an effort to legalize fraudulent
methods of the democratic party.
In the course of his speech Pritchard
said the cry of "negro domination" was
-the answer given to every proposition
made by the republicans.
He was interrupted by Tillman (dem.,
S. C ), who said that little else was to
be expected when the administration con
tinually thrusts negro postmasters on the
privilege of the South.
Pritchard There you have it. If I
should read the ten commandments to the
senator he would cry "negro" back at
me.
Tillman We say nigger In the South,
not negro. Let us stick to the facts.
Pritchard The senator may use what
ever expression he likes. I'll use mine.
Pritchard, on resuming his speech, re
ferred to the smail -vote In the state of.
Mississippi as compared with-the popula-"
tion. ;
Money (dem., Miss) interrupted to ex
plain the point Pritchard had made, when
he. In turn, was interrupted by Chandler
(rep., N. H.), who asked, if an election
had been held in Mississippi last year.
Money replied evasively.
Chancier Well, I wish the senator
would examine and tell us if an election
was held in his state last year.
Money replied that an election was held
5n Mississippi last year, and intimated that
he had replied evasively to Chandler's
question because, as he said, "I am as
afraid of the senator (Chandler) as I am
of a monkey in a powder magazine with
matches. I've been the lcilm of his w It
before, but Pm glad to give him any in
formation I have."
In accordance with notice previously
given, Turner (dem., Wash.) addressed
the senate on the Philippine question. His
discussion took a wide range.
"Neither the stately periods of the
president's message, nor the fervid ora
tory of a senator's address," said he, "can
change the. facts, of history, -vor metamor
phose the proposed course' of action al
ready partly accomplished, which hi olves
a shocking and perfidious breach of the
national faith Into an act of policy, de
fensible on grounds of justice morality
and national duty. Perfidy and bad faith
were involved In the pretensions put forth
.y the administration of either a legal
or moral right to absorb and govern. the
Philippine islands without the consent of
tholr people. The people of those islands,
wore a 3rave, resolute, JTberty-lo lng peo
ple and their struggle ought to win them
the admiration and respect of every mem
ber of the American senate."
Turner thon related thq oft-told story
of the alliance formed between the United
States forces and the Filipinos for the
subjugation of Manilaand the expulsion
of Spain from the islands, and expressed
the opinion that had our army been de
layed for a few weeks, ihe .Filipinos them- I
selves would have captured the city. He
declared that the Filipinos believed they
were fighting" for their independence, yet
I the president's message .set up the claim
that independence was an afterthought,,
founded on the sinister ambition of cer
tain of the Filipino leaders. This asser
ttlon. Turner said, was unfounded, and
he quoted, extensively from official docu
ments! In -maintenance of his declaration.
P "Our action has no parallel In the his
tory oi me oia worm iruiu iue uc&iuiuu&
of time down to the present moment,,r"
said Turner. "I venture to say there is
not one American voter In a hundred who
would not have repudiated the pretension
of the administration as perfidious and
dishonorable, if called on with full knowl
edge of the facts to sanction them In the
beginning and before the present war
began,"-
Turner controverted the president's
statement .that theT Islands -are ours by
every title of "law and equity, because, he
said, the FUplnos have assumed that sov
ereignty by the God-given right of revolu
tion. If the United States has any rights
at all In 'the Philippines, they have been
gained purely by purchase, and cannot,
in Turner's opinion, be fixed in law by
the treaty of Paris, because the Filipinos
were riot -a party to that treaty.
Referring to the speech of Beverldge as
a rhapsody, Turner said-. It lacked the
majestic harmony which can be evoked
only when the nobler chords are struck.
Be maintained .that the Filipinos knew
that the function of a government is to
preserve the life and liberty and -property,
and believes they are abundantly able
to maTntaln such a government. ' '
"Alrea'dy our Philippine experiences are
beginning lo have the' boomerang effect
predicted by the senator from. Indiana,"
said Turner. "There is a primitive peo
ple In South Africa. a. mere handful, pious
and simple, brave and heroic, but careless
of the great wealth lying under their
hands, indifferent to its civilizing Influ
ences and disposed to live throughout their
simple 'lives lif their own simple way.
They -are thc'last'llnk-that'connects; us
with -one of the' great heroic epochs -in
the world's history- A great nation hav
ing racial tendencies similar to our own
has seen the present deplorable condition
of affairs among this South African peo
ple and has determined to Improve and
civilize "them' In the samd way we are
improving 'and" civilizing the 'simple and
brave Filipinos. THey are Hot Succeed"'
lng" so well, unfortunately, in theli self
imposed task as wo are. The Afrikanders
are proving themselves to be worthy sons
of heroic sires. They, are making an he
roic figfttv and, one which has become the
wpnder and ,, admiration of mankind
throughout the world. Because 6f what
we, in common "with mankind, owe to
their blobd, because tney are bravely
fighting'a ruthless invader of their homes
and -firesides, because they are fighting
for liberty to govern themselves and
their affairs in their own way, because
when.fhey go down another republic will
have perished; they undoubtedly carry
with them in their, struggle" the profound
sympathy jof the American people. In
other days our7sympathy would have been
expressed through" governmental chan
nels. But now" the ghost of liberty, mur
dered in the Philippines, stands In the
way. We cannot even preserve a decent
neutrality between this heroic people and
their assailants. It Is yet permitted to us,
however, as individuals, to avert our eyes
and, as these noble men go down to death
and oblivion, to sav to them, as I now
-do, 'Thou last' survivors of a heroic age,
haH-"and farewell!' "
Turner", after a brief legal and consti
tutional argument bearing uppn the status
of the United' States in the Philippines,
made the point that annexation of the
Philippines would debauch the citizenship
of the country.
"The Filipinos," he said, "will have all
the privileges of citizens of the United
States to themselves and their products.
This would be to pauperize the labor of
the country, to put the 10,000,000 under
paid and underfed Filipinos against the
mechanic,, the artisan and the laboring
man. of this land?'
Turner in conclusion said that every
body knew a declaration by congress of
Its purpose to confer self-government on
the Filipinos would stop the war in
stantly, and eloquently urged the adop
tion of such a declaration.
"If we now give them justice, we will
have done more for their mental, moral
and political regeneration and for all other
kindred races than we could do in a hun
dred years of political communion and
association."
Turner was accorded unusual attention
throughout his speech.
The senatepasSed a bill to create two
additional judicial districts in New York
state.'
Depew (rep., N. T.), from the com
mittee on International expositions, fa
vorably reported a joint resolution author
izing the president to appoint a mem
ber of the Daughters of the Revolution
as a representative of this government at
the 'unveiling of the statue of La Fayette
at the ParlsXBPsltion, and to represent
the governments the exposition.
Cockrell (darnMo.) called attention to
the fact Hat IHerewas an understanding
thatQ women should' represent the gov
ernment at the Parrs exposition, the
French government having objected to
women representatives.
Depew replied that he knew of no such
restriction, but Allison rep., la.) said such
a restriction was made.
The .senate, without acting- on the reso-.
Iutl6n, went into executive, session, and at
4:18 R. M. adjourned.
In the Honse,
This was District of Columbia day In the
house. Before the day was claimed for
business relating to the District, some
minor business was transacted. The ques
tion -of a change of reference of the es
timates for the Rock Island and Spring
field armories from the- committee on mil
itary affairs to the committee on appro
priations was taken up. This question In
volved the appropriation for the construc
tion of small arms, and the matter was
held In abeyance pending an attempt to
compromise the controversy. '
The house then proceeded - to consider;
the. District matters. Several minor, bills
were passed. It was agreed that the es-'
tlmates for thB Rock Island and Spring
field armories should be referred to the
speaker for reference, as an original prop
osition. Then, at 12:40 P. M., the house
adjourned until tomorrow.

THE ELECTION OF CLARK
ANOTHER LEGISLATOR SATS
WAS OFFERED A. BRIBE.
HE
President ol a Helena Bank Noticed"
Ko Unusual Financial Activity' '
at the Time.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. The senate
committee on privileges and elections
held but a brief session today, on account
of the non-appearance of witnesses. Pi ev
ident Smith, of the Montana National
bank, and Representative Murray, of the
Montana house of representativeSj .were
the pnly , witnesses, on the stand,, Mr.
Smith's testimony was immaterial. Mr.
Murray testified that he was offered $10,000
to vote for Senator' Clark by persons
whom he considered representatives of
that gentleman.
When the committee, began Its session
today ex-Senator Faulkner informed tjie
committee that the Ector letters had .not
yet arrived. He said they had leftJButfo
last Monday night, and were expected
here today.
The first witness of the day was A. L.
Smith, president of the Montana National
bank, of Helena .Evidently the purpose
of calling Mr. Smith was to show trans-
uuuuiis ior im; uu.uk involving tseuuuu
Clark or members of the last Montana
legislature. Mrlt Smith could recall the
names of only a few members who had
accounts at the bank last winter, and"
these had, he said, been depositors at the
bank for several years He also said that
neither Clark nor Wellcome had trans
acted any business In the bank "during the
list session of the legislature, except that
Clark had opened an account with the
bank just prJ6r'lothe close of the ses
sion,. He-had then given, .him. a personal
check for $50,000, and he had neyer drawn
rupon the account since. Smith said the
bank kept no record of $1000 bills passing
through it, and he did not remember but
one or two cases, which cases were
not connected with the legislature or the
senatorial contest. He also said his bank
and the bank of Clark & Bro., of Butte,
exchanged business,
Patrick , Murray, of the Montana leg
islature, from Butte, testified that he had
several times been approached and his
vote solicited for Clark for Senator. He
detailed the particulars of two interviews
with a Mr. Gallick, a supporter of Clark,
who had on both occasions held up his
hands and spread out his fingers, and
thumbs, saying that he (the witness) could
have that for his vote if cast for Clark
for the senate. JBe said George Casey had
come to him to buy a piece of mining
ground which the witness owned, but that
the condition of the sale was that he
should vote for Clark for senator. He
had refused all the propositions because
Clark had opposed the election of the
ticket on which he made the race for the
legislature He had not been employed by
Daly for 14 years, and was under no ob
ligations to that gentleman.
At this point the prosecution announced
that they "had no more witnesses on hand,
and the committee adjourned until tomor
row. The Missing? Witness.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 22. It has devel
oped that John Murphy, of Butte, Mont.,
the missing witness In the Clark sena
torial Investigation, at Washington, was
in this city last week. He was at the
European hotel, paying his bill and pre
sumably leaving the city Saturday. While
here ho discussed the Clark case with the
hotel clerk.

Many men In the house classed as non

commit themselves before they have seen
the report of the committee. Some or
those who are opposed to action at this
time, -Bill, when confronted with the ne
cessity of getting on record, vote for tno
bill. It is said that at least four-fiftbs
of both houses 'will vote for the measure.
Senators who express no decided prefer
ence, one "way or the other, are, largely
administration men, who will be Influenced
in their votes by the desire of the presi
dent and the administration leaders. The
knowledge that President McKinley la
anxious to see the canal bill passed by this
congress, will," It Is believed, insure the
votes of these" senators? for the measure.

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Pop'e Leo XIII "Warmly Praises
Its
Work.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. Archbishop TCeane,
whorls engaged in Increasing the endow
ment iof the Catholic university at Wash
ington, says the pope warmly praises (the
work of the university. In an Interview
the archbishop says:
"Pope Leo XIII expressed the import
ance of the proposed university,'' for
he knew full well that xhe intellectual con
test of the future v. Ill be, not, as hitherto,
one of sectarlaa controversy, but a great
struggle between Christianity,, and agnos
tlfMsm fnr tho vmtrni nt thp world's Intel -
lect He knew that.the struggle was to bej
fought-out, and especially In the unlveijsl-'j
ties of the world. Therefore he- said he
wished a university of the highest order
to be established In America, and he
wishes that established :n the capital city
of our republic, "in' order that it might not
bo local, but national in its character and
Influence. ,
"For five years th university had only a
department of divinity. To this were sent
tfte picked young clergymen of thecountry
for post-graduate divinity studies. This1
school of divinity aimed at further devel
opment, so as to make the Catholic clergy
of the future the most thoroughly culti
vated body of men In the United States. I.
r,Foui yeaTs; ago departments for laity
w,ere opened. They comprise schools uf
letters, philosophy, mathematics, physics,
chemistry, etc. In a word, the organiza
tion of the university now lacks only a
school of medicine for its completion. There
are several professorships already -endowed
hut there remain 15 more not endowed, vlt
Is for the accomplishment of this work
that'-I have been recalled from Rome by
the bishops of the'JJflited. States. The as-suran-cesraay'glyeh
tne make me feel
confident that before the end of two years,
which I am consecrating to this task,
nearly $1,000,000 will have been added to the
endowment fund.
"Nearly every one feels sorry that the
number of our colleges la under the risk of
being temporarily diminished by the de
cision ot the gradual elimination of classics
'from the colleges, hitherto conducted by
Christian brothers. This occasions only
temporary difficulties. The number of col
leges will be Increased and their excellence
will not be Impaired, but enhanced as time
goes on. Ways and means will surely be
found.
"The Intellectual, outlook for 4he .next
century has its dark side, but the bright
ness in it predominates. The 19th century
opened under the influence of the sneering,
atheistic policy of Voltaire. It closes with
"Voltaire buried in the contempt which his
superficial sneering deserved. The 20th
century opens with agnosticism as the
chief enemy of Christian religion. Agnos
tlclsm does not sneer, and It is far more
respectable than Voltaire. But it doubts.
It says, 'I do not know.' It Is a philosophy
of not knowing. It acknowledges Itself ig
norant concerning all those mighty prob
lems which affect the welfare of'manklnd.
"Ignorance can never be the guide for
the human race. The philosophy which
says 'I do not know' can never meet the
requirements of humanity. It Is folly to
boast of knowledge when one has no light,
but it is worse folly to close one's ees to
the light and say that all Is dark, when
flight Is abundant for all those who, have
ees to see."

COURSING IK CHICAGO.
r Humane Society Puts an End to the
Practice,
CHICAGO, Jan. 22. The Times-Herald
says:
"That coursing is doomed in Chicago
was emphatically made manifest yester
day." At the acknowledged headquarters
of '-the .enthusiasts, men- and dogs .Had
gathered, the jackrabbits Imported frojn,
Wichita, Kan., at an expense ' of $2 '5n
apiece, were there, and all that was nec
essary was to start the game going. But
the agents of the Illinois Humane, Society
and blue-coated officers detailed by the
city came also. And there was no cours
ing. "The coursers came early and brought
their hounds, eager for the chase of the
festive jackrabblts. It was all to no
purpose. Two detectives sent by the Hu
mane Society "were on the- ground early,
and hobnobbed "with the bluecoats detailed
thither by tlie city authorities. The ukase
promulgated against coursing a week ago
was evidently still in force. President
Jqhn J. Shortall, of the Humane Society,
had this to say today of the action of
the organization in stopping the coursing:
' 'We sent out officers to arrest any per
sons who might attempt to have cours
ing. We have no quarrel, nor has the
stater of Illinois, with any person who
destroys mercifully life that he owns,
but to tonture an animal to death Is for
bidden by the laws of Illinois. It is certainly-great
torture and an unnecessarily
cruel act to cause the death of an ani
mal through the agency of the teeth or
claws of any other animal set on simply
for so-called sport It Is a lawless, de
moralizing s,ort of- entertainment, and
ought not to be countenanced.' "

OPINION OF A LATE RESIDENT OF
JOHANN ESBURG.
Fritz Slosentlinl, a German, Says the
Burghers Are No Match, for
the Britons.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. FritzMosenthal,
for 35 years a resident of South Africa,
a member of the Johannesburg Relief
Committee of '58, which ."was con
cerned In the Jameson raid, all of whom
were apprehended and were compelled to
! nav "fines of 52000 each, and who is also
- a gold mine director, has arrlved-ln this
city from ' Germany. Mr, MosenthaIr al-
though a German, has a rather poor opin
ion of the'Boers, and says they are cow
ards. Speaking of the Boers as a people,
Mr. Mosenthal said:
"The Boer has no personal courage. He
will fight when he Is under cover, but In
the open, man to man, he is no "match
for ther the Briton or any-other white
antagonist.
"The Boers do not, as a class, possess
any education and do not wish to possess
any. The moment a Boer beepmes
changed from the simple, farmer, fo the
city resident and. his -financial condition, la
enhanced thereby, he becomes a Britlshi
subject and renounces the Boer tradi
tions. "Personally, I believe that the war sit
uation now centers in the district around
Ladysmlth, and I believe that the British
will gain a decisive victory soon, in
which case the trouble will virtually be
at an end."
Regarding the Delagoa bay situation,
Mr. Mosenthal said that in case of Its
being closed "by England, which has the
first claim un it by existing treaties' with
Portugal, there would be no Inlet or out
let for Boer munitions of war, the dis
tance from' points In the interior being
entirely too great to admit of sending
supplies of any kind from that direction.
Regarding the right of franchise de
nied to the British previous to the decla
ration rof hostilities, Mr. Mosenthal .said
It wasquite true that Kruger had offerett.
to'the Uitlanders" a franchise after five
years, but always with the reservation
that each case should he passed on by the
older citizens- of the commonwealth. Mr.
Mosenthal vsalf thai, while it vwas gener
ally .believed that OomPaul was wealthy,
there ,was no -means of knowing just how
rich he Is.
Mr. -Mosenthal left South Africa in Sep
tember, some time previous to the declara
tion of hostilities.
DEFENSES OF JOHANNESBURG.
Great Battles of the War May Be
Fought There.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. "Even If they are
driven out," said Samuel Stockton, of
Johannesburg. Tvho is in this country
waiting for cessation of hastllltles, last
night at the Waldorf-Astoria, "I do not be
lieve that the Boers have as yet fought
the great battle of the war, or even that
this fight will occur In the mountain
passes Into their country. Not even
Lalng's N.ek Is more impregnable than
Johannesburg, or, rather, than Johan
nesburg can easily be made to be. I do not
know that it would be strictly correct to
say that Johannesburg is naturally de
fended, and yet her impregnable condition
is not due to any effort or intent to. make
her so, but has come accidentally and as
an Incident to the mining that has been
carried on there.
"The Rand belt of mines stretches for a
full 30 miles between Johannesburg and
the Invading force, at Intervals of be
tween a quarter and a half-mile apart.
At each mine are tailing heaps that Is,
the mounds of ground-up fock and debris,
from which the gold has been extracted.
These mounds of tailings, which are of
tremendous height and breadth and much
resemble in size and contour waste piles
outride anthracite coal mines? In Pennsyl
vania, are each especially impregnable
natural forts, while the short distance they
lie apart, with cannon mounted on them,
would make it absolutely Impossible lor
the British to penetrate between.
"On the other hand, they cannot be bat
tered down, and to attack them with ar
tillery would be simply to waste ammu
nition, .for the shells would be lost. Let
them explode In any part of the mound,
the shifting slag would Immediately fill
up the hollow thus made, and the pile
would be as before. Absolutely no ad
vantage would accrue to the attacking
party. Just to give you an Idea of how
great a -quantity of these tailings there
must be, take the following calculation:
"There are mills with; say, 5000 stamps
In the Transvaal, which have been running
steadily for five years. They, or a large
part of them, have really been running
longer, but for the sake of. argument wo
will put It at five years. That means there
are sufficient tailings adjacent to Johan
nesburg to construct a fortification a) feet
wide by six feet In height from that point
to Cape Town, and eVen further."
NOT A FILIBUSTER.
British Ambassador Thongrht
He
Found a Boer Expedition.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Only one complaint has been registered
at the state department that a filibuster
ing expedition was organizing in this coun
try for the purpose of proceeding to South
Africa. The complaint was filed two" days
agovby the British ambassador, who gave
the state department notification of the
impending departure of a vessel from
Philadelphia, laden with an armed expedi
tion in the Interest of the B&ers: An In
vestigation, by, the treasury department
disclosed that the vessel was a sea-going
tug with about sufficient coal capacity to
carry it from Philadelphia to the Dela
ware breakwater and back again.
Though the British .ambassador under
stands that many men have been recruited
in , this country for service in the Boer
army, he has found it Impossible to stop
the practice, as the American neutrality
laws cannot be applied to unarmed men
leaving the United States, no matter if
their destination may be the Transvaal.
It would Jiot be surprising to the officials
if the British government were also ob
taining recruits here, but this, as in the
case of the Boer agents, cannot be. estab
lished. Boers May. Soon Sue -for' Pence.
LONDON, Jan. 2fr The correspondent of
the Times at Lourenco Marques, tele
graphing yesterday, says:
"Tews from the republics 13 extremely
meager,- but, It is reported that Pretoria
is much perturbed. This Is confirmed from
different .sources, and today It Is even
hinted that the Boers are about tb sue
for peace. This Is lmprqbable until they
have played their trump card, n the shape
of an appeal for Intervention. It is, aa un
doubted fact that they are bitterly dis
appointed at the apparent apathy of the
Continental powers." v

REV". I. V3LLARS, pastor M. E. Church,

to say that for a year I suffered the most

touched a point where my friends were
very much alarmed. Seeing the serious
nature of the case, I yielded to the solici

THE GREAT POISON CASE
PROSECUTION IN THE TRIAL OF
MOLINEUX WILL CLOSE TODAY.
Attempt to Trace the Tiffany Envel
$ ope to the Prisoner Me,dlcul
Experts on the Stand.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. Assistant Pros
ecuting Attorney Oaborne announced at
the close of today's session of the trial
of Roland B. Moli.1eux that the prosecu
tion would close tomorrow.
The only new testimony Introduced to
day was that of M. M. Dodd, a clerk In
the stationery department of Tiffany &
Co., who stated that Mollneux had an ac
count with the firm In 1893. This ev.dence
Is' considered Important, because a Tif
fany envelope was found In the package
of poison sent to Harry C. Cornish, and
the box In which the poison was In
closedVw as t a. Tiffany box. ,
Dr. .Henry P, Loomfcr. the. expert chem
ist ..wha performed the autopsy on the
body of Henry C. Barnet, testified that
there was no evidence that Barnet had
died of any disease; that If he had died
ot diphtheria evidence of the disease would
have been found In the body. Witness
had no doubt that Barnet died of cyanide
of mercury poisoning.
Dr. James C. White", a diphtheria expert
In the employ of the board of health,
who has seen between 2000 and 3000 cases
and several cyanide of mercury poisoning
cases, testified that Barnet could not have
died from 'any cause except cyanide of
mercury poisoning.
Dr. Frank Ferguson, a pathological ex
pert who made an examination of Mrs.
Adams' body, testified that she died of
cyanide ot mercury poisoning.
Dr. E. S. Potter, who attended Mrs.
Adams, testified to the circumstances of
her death.'
The cross-examination evinced a desire
by Attorney Weeks, for the defense, to
show that Harry Cornish, who say3 ho
'drank some of the poison, was not really
taken sick,"' as he claimed to be.
William Williams, a colored servant, tes
tified that he was formerly employed at
172 West Seventy-fifth street, where Mol
lneux is alleged to have lived with Blanche
Cheseborough, under, the name- of Mrs.
Cheseborough, before he married her.
Williams Identified Mollneux as Mr. "Chese
borough. The court refused to permit the testi
mony of Mollneux at the coroner's in
quest to be used against him.
