Figured in Molineux Case.

Justice White of the New York Supreme court at Buffalo last week

granted a divorce to Mrs. Florence E. Rogers from Edward F. Rogers, thu3 confirming the report of the referee. Mrs. Rogers is the daughter of the late Mrs. Kate Adams, and a distant cousin of Harry Cornish. Roland B. Molineux was found guilty of causing the death of Mrs. Adams by poison, which he was accused of sending to Cornish at the Knickerbocker A. C.,* New York city. Cornish had a room In Mrs. Adams’ apartments in West 86th street, New York. Mrs. Rogers lived there, and was there on the morning her mother died, after finding the dose of cyanide of mercury. Mrs. Rogers and her husband have been separated for some time, she living in New York, he in Buffalo. When she brought her suit she applied for alimony. One of her lawyers stated, pathetically, that she had to “live in a New York hash house,” while her husbanu* dwelt in luxury at the Iroquolse hotel. It was shown, however, that Mr. Rogers paid his wife money for her support, although he lived apart from her.
