and twice placed on trial for his life, for the niurdt-r of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams. But thirteen minutes sufficed for the jury to reach a verdict of acquittal at the close of the second trial. The verdict, which was confidently anticipated, was greeted with an instantly suppressed outbreak of applause. Molineux was apparently as unconcerned as he had been throughout the trial. His aged father, General Molineux. was deeply affected, aml could with difficulty respond to the greetings of friends who pressed forward to offer their congratulations. When the freed prisoner appeared in the street he was cheered by a great crowd.
