Germany takes regarding England's rlgh

NR\V YORK , Jon. G. One of the most lin
portant witnesses In the Mollncux Ulal to
day was Charles. 1) . Allan , Mollneux' prl
ate secretory. H was Allan who slKiiri
k'ltcrs for Mollneux per "C. D. A. " H
had studied chemistry and had served In th
laboratory of Mollneux. When asked 1
there were many poisons In the laborator
lie replied :
"Yes , barrels of them. "
Amot.K the poisons he mentioned spo
elllcally were Parlw sreen , chrome yellow
English vermilion , dry arsenic in kegs am
quantities ot mercury.
Allan Identified a letter which he wrote ti
the Studio PubllshliiK company , 1C20 Broad
way , Now York City , signed "Roland U
Mollneux , per C. D. A. ' in one ho wroti
personally. He claimed that Mollneux wai
looking for the names of consumers of dr :
colors.
The letter was written according to In
structlons In the ordinary course of biw
Inert ) , but the significance of the Incldcn
lies In the fact that 1020 Broadway Is tin
address of the Koch Letter Box agency am
It is claimed that It was from this lotto
that Koch learned the address ot Mollneil :
and sent the defendant n circular offering ti
lease n private letter box an offer which I
in clalm d .Mollneux accepted. The wltncs
would not swear that Mollneux over saw th
letter to the Studio Publishing company , bu
he did testify that ho saw n copy of th
magazine sent for on the desk of Mollneil
subsequent to the opening up of the corrc
spondcnce.
Herbert K. T.irbell , loan clerk at the Chan
National bank and a practical handwrltlni
expert. In response to questions testified tha
In his opinion the addrcea on the polsoi
package \\t\s written by Mollneux. Davl. .
C. Decker , paying teller of the Union Squar
bank , entertained similar opinions.
Munllli-iiiit t'lit-Nl Mi-tiNiiremotit.
Frank S. Hunt of Newark , N. J. , testlflci
that the chest measurement of the defendant
fendant was thirty-seven Inches nnd tha
his waist measurement was thlrty-twi
Inches. The evidence Is considered slg
nlficant because of the fact that thes
measurements Indirectly connect Mollneil
with the diagnosis blank furnished by thi
Marston Remedy company , which ns elgnei
"II. C. Darnell. "
One of the most interesting witnesses o
the day was William F. Schafller , a manu
facturer. Ho identified the letter sent b ;
Mollneux to Mrs. Schalllcr. informing he
thai he was lo bo married nexl day ; lha
the marriage was sudden and waa In fac
quite a romance. This particular letter wa
addressed , "My Dear Sadie , " and on ac
count of the high social standing of Mrs
Schalller and the fact thai the district at
torney's plllco obtained possession of th
correspondence In a fashion meat mystcrlou
the Incident has attracled considerable at
tentlon.
Mr. Schafller said he and his wife hot
known Mollneux for four or five years
thai Mollneux had taken tea at his hous
and ho wtvs friendly with Ihe defendant
Nothing was elicited thai would hove i
tendency to throw light upon the manne
In which the district attorney obtained pos
session of leltqrs belonging to the wife o
the witness. Letters from Mollneux t
Schafller were also produced in evidence am
Identified by the witness. Mr. Schaffler ex
plained Iho senlence , "Cornish Is In nnd
am out , " which appears In one of the let
lers ns meaning that the defendanl had re
signed from the Knickerbocker Athletl
club , while Cornish still remained there li
an ojflclnl capacity.
The last witness of the day was Lewis H
Cornish , a cousin of Harry S. Cornish , nls
a cousin of Mrs. Florence Rogers , tin
daughter of the dead woman. Ho testlflei
that Harry Cornish was III when he callo
upon the witness to inform him of th' '
death of Mrs. Adams , und upon cross-ex
amlnation by Mr. Weeks the witness ad
milted that Mrs , Adams became ill whlli
he was paying a visit to her house abon
two weeks before her death. The wltnesi
had concluded his testimony upon thl
point when court adjourned until Monday.

PARIS , Jan. 5. In view of the feeling I
Santo Domingo against' the action of Ih
French consul in prwslns the Bolsemnrc
Caccavclll claim of 280,000 francs , the follow
Ing str.temont of the French pnoltion !
given from a souice whcso accuracy of In
formation H undeniable :
In accordance with the treaty concluded I
ISOS between President Hcureaux and th
French minister to Haytl , the govurnmer
of Santo Domingo agreed to turn over to th
French consul a monthly Indemnity I
reparation for services rendered and dam
ages sustained by families of French citizen
who had been assassinated. In default < i
payment the treaty stipulated thai aetlo
might bo taken agalnsl the Improvemen
company having the concession to collect th
revenues of the Island. Since the assassiim
tlon of President Heureaux the Indemnlt
has been withheld , but on account of the dls
turbanccs following his leath France mad
no Immediate demand for payment. As mot'
than six months have passed without octln ;
and , Santo Domingo showing bad faith In th
execution of the obligations , the French con
4iil , In conformity with the treaty , receive ,
an order to place an embargo on the revenue
of the Improvement company. The exccutlo
of this order provoked disturbances whlc !
