Roland B. Molineux Will Get a New Trial for Sufficient Ileason.

TOO MUCH INFERENCE

Entered Into Judgment of Trial -a.. Court Says New York Court of Appeals.

On the Ground of Insufficient Evidence a New Trial Is Granted.

Albany, N. Y., Oct. 1(5.- -The court of appeals has granted a now trial to Roland it. Molineux. Molineux was convicted of the murder ot Catherine 3. Adams in New York city and sentenced to death. The court grants a now trial on a prevailing opinion written by .Judge Werner of Rochester, his principal ground being that tho lower court orrcd in admitting evidence as to another alleged crime, the death of Rarnet. and thus merged the two issues.

The court gave out a condensed statement of tins reasons for granting the now trial. It says: "Every mom ber of tl-| court of appeals agrees for the reversal of the judgment of conviction of Molineux on the ground that the trial court erred in receiving evidence, the declarations of Itarnet, inade to l)rs. Phillips and Douglas, that he had received Kutnow powders through the mail."

After summarizing the theory of the prosecution that the murder of Mrs. Adams was the result of a plan devised by tin5 defendant to kill Cornish by means of a rare and deadly poison concealed in a powder in common use as a remedy for trilling ailments, the court says: "Throughout the length and breadth of the testimony relating to the death of Harnet there is not a suggestion of a fact which throws any light upon the intent with which poison was sent to Cornish or which serves to support or strengthen the inferences as to intent which may be drawn from the evidence tending to show that the defendant sent the poison to Cornish."

Further on the court says: "Assuming Barnct to have been killed by the defendant, the crime lias its own separate motive, intent and plan. It is equally true of the crime charged in the indictment. The mere fact that the two crimes are parallel as to the methods and means employed in their execution does not serve to identify the defendant as the poisoner of Mrs. Adams unless his guilt of the latter crime may be inferred from its similarity to the former. Such nn inference might be justitied if it had been shown conclusively that the defendant had killed Barnet and that 110 other person could have kiled Mrs. Adams. But. no such evidence was given. The evidence tended to show that the defendant had the knowledge, skill and material to produce the poison which was sent, to Cornish. But he was not shown to be the only person possessed of this knowledge, skill and matter. Indeed, it. is common knowledge that there are many such persons. Therefore the naked similarity of these crimes proves nothing."

Queer Case of Imnacy.

Denver Colo., Oct. 10.—Miss Minnie E. Knox, daughter of a former wealthy business man of Denver, has been declared insane in the county court and ordered contincd at the county hospital. The investigation as to her sanity was made at the request of the treasury department at Washingicu, on account of many abusive letters that had been received there from Miss Knox, demanding money and •uggestiug changes in ,tlie methods of the department.

Mis* Stone's Captors Sci'k the Interior of Mncadonia. Sofia, Oct. 10. It is suposed that the brigands who captured Miss Stone have withdrawn into the interior of Macedonia in the direction of Nevrokop. Former members of the Macedonian committee, who were arrested on suspicion of complicity, denied before a magistrate any knowledge of the affair.

The parents of Madame Tsilka, the Bulgarian teacher who was captured with Miss Stone, have received another letter from their daughter, urging the stej) already taken, namely, stopping the military pursuit, because the brigands threaten the prisoners with immediate death in the event of danger to themselves. The writer says that she and Miss

.Stone

are hidden

in a subterranean retreat, and are treated courteously. She also says the only means of securing their release is to pay the ransom demanded.

Uncle Sain Means Business. Coustatiuopie, Oct. 10.—The United States government will insist that Turkey immediately make good any deficit in the subscriptions for the ransom of Aliss Stone and also refund the full amount subscribed. The Russian government, has repeated its expression of a desire to assist the United States government by all practical mean's in rescuing Miss Stone. The oilier powers are equally solicitious, bur. Russia is the best able to bring the necessary pressure to bear. Messrs. Baird and Haskell the missionaries, have not yet succeeded in getting into touch with the brigands or opening negotiations. The belief is growing here that the Bulgarian and not the Turkish government is responsible for the retention of Miss Stone, whose capture was committed with the conuivance of Macedonian agitators, if not with that of the higher authorities. The attitude of the latter towards brigand bands is most susppicious and very different from what it was during the time of Stainbuloff.

liriguiuls Assassinate Five. Vienna, Oct. 10.- Pastors Diuikroff and ZirkolV, with three female mission workers, have been killed by the baud that kidnaped Miss Stone.

THE BIG STORE

Louis Bischof, Pfoptietot.

Some articles in great demand at times

are neither servicable in quality or coloring. We always say so if you ask our opinion and we know. We merely supply the demand without recommending the purchase.

Buying more and selling more than

other stores, we are always able to show more variety. You can nearly always find just the color, size or style you thought of, or, perhaps, something newer or prettier that you hadn't thought of here. You don't have to take something "that will do" at this store. We said "you oan nearly always" find what you wish here. Sometimes even we disappoint you because we have been disappointed, or because you have waited too long in the coming for it. Come early in the season and come often. Keep in touoh with this store and you will be abreast of the fashion. You get the benefit in larger assortments to select from.

Selling both wholesale and retail we

sell more goods and turn our stock faster, thus enabling us to show the latest novelties a) fast as they come from the mill or the custom house. You get the benefit in always finding the newest stylish stuffs in all lines here.

We Have More Light and More Room.

Our store being larger and lighter we

are able to display our goods better and you can buy them in a well lighted room. No danger of finding shoddy goods when you get home because you couldn't see them here. Every iloor and every foot of this store is light enough to tell qualities.

All prices are marked In plain figures.

They are so low we are not afraid competitors will see them and sell lower, and we are not afraid you will find them lower elsewhere.

One price to everyone. No danger of

you paying more for an article than your neighbor. If reductions are made for any reason the reduced price is marked in plain figures and all may buy it alike.

We guarantee everything we sell and

wrap all goods in paper bearing our guarantee. Any article may be returned within a reasonable time and if not damaged by the purchaser the purchase price will be cheerfully refunded. Anything may be exchanged that don't fit or suit. We don't want you to keep anything that is not perfectly satisfactory to you.

You can have a bill of sale for anything

you buy so you can check up your purchases when you get home, and if any mistake occurs we want you to tell us of it, that we may rectify it. We realize wo are only humans and all humans are likely to make errors. These are advantages you enjoy at this store, and not ail stores are as liberal and study your interests so well.
