MOLINEAUX DIES IN SANATORIUM Was Central Figure in a New York Murder Mystery Nearly 20 Years Ago. New York, Nov. 2.—Roland B. Moli- neux, central figure fn a famous mur- der mystery which < was generally known as “The Molineux case” near- Iy twenty years ago, died today in a Long Island hospital. Member of a Brookiyn family of culture and social standing, Molineux, a son of the late Gen. Molineux, was arrested after Mrs. Kate Adams had died from drinking poison contained in a headache potion. It was alleged that the poison was sent in a silver container as a Christ- mas present by Molineux to a fellow club member who hboarded at Mrs. Adams’ home and who was a rival of Molineux in the courtship of Blanche Chesebrough. Before Molineux was brought = to trial in November of 1899, he married Miss Chesebrough. Denying suilt of murder, he was convicted and was sent to the death house at Sing Sing prison. There he spent several years while eminent counsel conducted a le- gal battle which ended with his ac- quittal on a second trial. Subs: quently hig wife divorced him. Molineux suffered mental break- down from overwork in writing The Man Inside, which was produced in 1913 as a play. Failing fo show im- provement in a sanatorium he was re- moved four years ago to the asylum which he’ died this morning, with his second wife, who was Miss Mar- garet Connell, and their child at his side.

Years — Question of Pension For Long and Faithful Public Servant—Reformers Also Aféer Lieutenant Jeffers —Tax Collector Must Be Named—No Action Yet By Purity Committee. (Special to The Bulletin. ) New London, Nov. 2.—The retire- ment of Georze Haven as captain of police' is liable to be a matter to be considered at the regular meeting of the court of common council at the session Monday evening, if all reports published and otherwise are based on {ruth, and thcy probably are. It is understood that the caotain is ready to retire, but the pay that goes with his retirement is no more than that allowed a patrolman and is inadequate for his support. The friends of th captain, and they are leglons, have hope that the council will be at least ae liberal in this case with the public money as it kas been in the past in raising the salaries of already over- paid- city officials. Captain Haven is deserving of liberal treatment by the which can be bestowed by the action of the city's represen‘atives in the council. Captain Haven was born in New London some . seventy-two years ago snd- has always been a resident and Lefore his entry in the police depart- ment was very active in republican politics. This fact should be borne in mind by the republican majority i2 the council, some of whom. do not even know that in the days that have gone Captain Eaven was a hard and zealous worker for the success of the republican pa gt After being cap! of the police for nearly thirty years, a bunch of citi- zens of more or s prominence have formed opinion that he is not the man for the place, and never has been, that ke is lacking in executive ability_and in the enforcement of discipline. Such opinion from such a source is but to laugh. When President Lincoln first called for troops in the Civil® War, George Haven, then a boy not fifteen, was among the firat to enlist in the first. company from his native eity and here he gained the rudiments o discipline and realized that to a'm- mand it was. necessary to be able to obey commani. When this first com pany was mustered out of service this eame George Haven, still a vouth, en- listed in the First Connecticut Cav- alry regiment. v:ith honor and credit tc his city, his state and his country, and has in his possession documentary proof of his efficiency as a true sol- e, When the war ended and George Haven was mustered out of the m tary e of the United States, and n work in a foundry, his abil- ty as a soldier and disciplinarian was. recognized by his fellow towns- men who formed Company D, Connec- ticut State Militia. He was asked to jcin the company, and he did. He rose to the captainc and for many years was active in the state military service, in positions that reguired ex- ecutive- ability and the enforcing of discipline. He became mapor of the Third regiment, Connecticut National Guard. Lieutenant Colonel and then colonel. His executive ability and his skill in enforcing - giscipline alwavs heing recognized in each step of his acvancement in the old Third regi- ment. His military career did tot end there, He, by reason of his known qualifications to command men, was made brigadier general of the entire Connecticut National Guard, and to this day is conceded to have been thc ablest brigadier commander the state cver had from a military standpoint. His ability was further _recognized nd he.was calied to the highest mil itary pesition in -the state, the adj tant general. And with such an in- cisputable record, this bunch of men vho are posing as police Jepartment reformers. actually. intimate that Fo- lice Captain.Haven, who has com- manded the extire soldiery of the state. lacks tlie qualification to com- niend the poiice force of sthe city of New London But inuendoss and aspersions aside, (he captain is not as voung as he used to he and would not object.to honor- able retirement with adequate pay that he is entitled to by reason of Ilong amd fafthiul eervice. He did ot retire under fire when he risked his iifc for country. and he is not of .the ort that would -retire' under fire at tlc present'time. So it might be just as well for the self-appointed bunch of police reformers to draw their sled. und not attempi to besmirsh the good name of a long-time faithful and com- petent police captain. This' same reforme bunch is also after the scalp of Lieutenant Thomas | Jeffers, the dean of -the. police force «nd perhaps - the most active officer that ever donfed.the blue before he taken from patrol duty and as- sizned- to night duty at the desk. He has to his eredit some of. the most otable a1Tests and there is record of capturing three almost world-re- nowned, crooks at a time and single- hamded. The bunch intimates® that hoth the captain- and the lieutenant sre incompetents, and they are work- ing every string with.an influence to sound the death knell of these two. veteran officers. What: 1s this all about? Has the bunch men of their choice to take charge of the police department. and for ‘some special pur- pose?. It may be that .the present captain. and lieutenant are not taking ovders from those who have consti- tuted - authority .to" give them. orders, that may hurt the few who seem desirous to usurp the general manage- ment of city affairs, and without the advice and consent’ of the couft of common ’ council. Tt has Deen hinted. Fowever. that the bunch. ~has a majority of the council with ‘them, and that therefore they can name even n-- the future head officers: of the .p%=e force. If there is any member of ihe police foree, from, captain .to sudernumerary who has’ refused to do. Wis duty, of course it'is time for retirement. but the majority of the people of New London. '~ mot of the court of com- mon - cor, % sourians. Another impartant matter that will be taken’'up at the meeting of the court of common council will be the appointment- of a tax collector to fill the vacancy caused by the untimely death of Charles B. Douglass, a po- sition that carries with it the sub- stantial salary of $3.000 a year. It is understood . that there are several pussy-footed aspirants for the place, but it 1s ‘not believed that any of them kas had any more than a lick and a promise, and - that’ don’t amount to much from - the. average member of the New London court of common council. Ask any man who-has ever scught office within the gift of the council for verification. The office of tax’ collector is & good job and ought to-be filled by.a man.quealified for that sort of work. - There: are plenty of o:?un‘ % t “!rl;)m. end a ome o be con- sidered. Stnce the ' death ot . _Douglass, Frederick. C. Birrvw'.,"‘;hrk- to T "I bodrd of assessors has been acting as collector. By reason collector’s office and the fice being contigous, and imate friends, besides knowledse of the work, fits Mr. Bur- rows well for the office of tax col- lector. It would be a job that could be worked in with the present job of Mr. Burrow: nd without disadvant- ce to the general public. The® right man_ could readily render the double service, that is a man of row’s calibre. The salary of the clerk of the board of assesso: $1,800 and that of tax collector $3.000, a total of $4,300, a salary none t city official at the present I of living. If there is to be n idation perhap: Mr. Bur would prefer his present position to which e has just been elected for a term of three years, for that of tax coilect at a higher salary, the appointment being at the whim of the court of common council annually. The purity committee has m-# nce election and given duc con- deration to many reform matters. talked over several matters of public interest that they have pian- ned to reform, but up to date have not acted. True the talk resulted in an attack upon the captain and lieuten- ant of police by the newspapers, hased on statements, some of them, that are not true. Fault was found with the police for alleged inactivity in the enforcem of the liquor laws, but it a rare day in court when some violator of the liquor law or some law nearer to the preservation of morality is not hefore the police curg. The police force Is rtainly doing duty, as it never did before This is not attributable to the ses- sion of the purity people, but rather to the cooperation of the prosecuting d partment with the police. The days of lenier in the police court in these cases seems to have passed, and the convicted get a full measure of punishment. Weth the police department now on fighting edge, backed by the prose- cuting force, s to be the time of all for the combined purity committee and the volunt from the liquor dealers, the I mate dealers, to get busy and clean up the places of prominence where the liguor laws are defied seven days a week, every day of the month. If e purity committee does not happen > know the names and numbers of these offenders. the blanks can be filled out readily by the committee of saloonmen. That is if all oen- cerned in_the proposed movement are sincere. The raiding of a kitchen bar room here and there surely helps in the clansing procs but only on a small scale. It that charge true, that some law violators in this regard have police protection? This can hardly be so. for some of the places have been actuall ed and the of- fenders penalized but in such o way that the liouor license was not jeop- ardized, and jail sentence was taboo- ea. Conditions have chanzed ce Pitt Wheeler drove a dray in New London. Perhaps the milienium i wear and the chro: licuor law lators in the city are abont to walk the plank.
