MAS, MOLINEUXTO VE IN BROOKLYN, She Spends the Day in This City Packing Up Her Effects at the Murray Hill Hotel and Returns to Her Husband Late This After. noon, ; ; Justice Lambert Makes a Withering Reply to the Statement of Harry Cornish that the Charge to the Jury Was Prejudiced se Favor of the Defendent. Mrs. Roland B. Molineux, loaded down with pasteboard boxes and packages, left the Murray Hill at 4 o'clock this afternoon ina cab. She |she was going to Brooklyn to join her husband. F “T came over here to-day to pack up,” she said, “but I had so a do that I could not complete the work, and will have to come back to-mar- row. I shall then move my effects to Brooklyn, I don’t know where we ere going to live or what we are going to do. I have been too busy to think about anything but my own happiness and the vindication of my ‘husband.’ Mrs. Molineux had been at the hotel since noon arranging for her de-\ parture, She drove over from the home of Gen. Molineux in Brooklyn in a closed cab and was cordially greeted. and congratulated by the employees and many of the guests of the hotel. RESULT AS SHE EXPECTED. Mrs. Molineux was asked “What do you think of the result of the trial?” “The result?” she asked, beaming with smiles. “Why, the result! Tae result is all over. it was just as [ had expected and for what I hoped.” © “How do you feel about it?” “How would any woman feel whose husband has Just been acquitted of such a vharge. I don't know how I feel. I feel too good to talk.” ‘Where are you going to live?” “Oh, I dgn’t know. We'll live anywhere so long as we are together,” “Then the estrangement is at an end?" “If you call it an estrangement--yes.” “What are your plans for the immediate future “I have no plans, I don't know what we will do. We have only tdiked it over in an informal way and nothing has been decided.” The elevator ceme and whisked her away to an upper floor, Between floors she had the elevator stopped and called down to a bellboy: ned “Have the keys to my room sent up and tell the clerk to:come ap. e want to see him.” CROWD WATCHES THE MOLINEUX HOME. * Crowds surrounded the Molineux homestead in Fort Greene place to day, constantly growing in size as the afternoon advanced. It was evident that young Mrs. Molineux was the object sought by the later arrivals, . a her failure to return caused a report that she was not coming back. } This report was discounted at 4.30 o'clock, when a truck drove up and a small trunk lke the one taken away by the young woman in Se was unloaded. The driver sald that he got the trunk in Manhattan, but would not way that it came from the Murray Hill Hotel, where Mrs. woe jeux has boarded. At 4 o'clock, Molineux, dapper and smiling, descended the steps of ic ‘father’s house and walked down the block to his aunt's home, No, 133 Fort Greene place. He remained at Mrs. Burnham's for thirty minutes and then returned home, remarking to Policeman John Mcfherry as he entered through a long line of spectators: i “You seem to be having a pretty busy day, Mr. Officer.” JUSTICE LAMBERT SCORES CORNISH. “It 1s the hit bird that flutters,” was the way that Justice Lambert re- plied to-day to the criticiam that Herry 8, Cornish made of his charge te the jury at the Molineux trial. Cornish had said: “I congratulate the Judge on his plea for the prisoner.” Continuing Justice Lambert said: “T really think that I should not dignify this man with eny reply. £ will take no action against him for criticlam of the Court. Why should I? Of course if the matter were brought before me officially that would be different. The press has been particularly accurate in this trial. Byvery- thing has been recorded as it actually happened, so that I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the quotation of Cornish, A TERROR IN THE FUTURE. “I repeat the question, why should I dignify his criticism with @ reply, especially as I might be called upon some day to try him for the crime that Molineux was accused of? “Anything that Cornish can say, or will say, is of no importance to He was brought into the case prominently by ex-Gov. Black. “If a man had dropped out of the sky to try this case—a man who had never heard of Cornish or Molineux—he would find as much legal evidence against Cornish as there was presented to me against Molineux, “My charge was fair and impartial. I have been praised by the press for the manner that the trial was conducted and I wish to say that there are dozens of Justices throughout the State with more legal talent and more brains than I have who would have done the same as I did. “Just to show what a pure, innocent mind ex-Gov. Black has, and how simple he is to the ways of the world, when that jury sent in word that it |had reached a verdict within a few minutes after the case had been given. to {t, Mr. Black turned to Weeks and said, ‘If this is a conviction I want you . to make d motion for a now tria! immediately after the foreman makes the: | announcement.’ ‘Not on your life,’ “He knew what the indications were. suid Weeks, laughing. Any child would have known | that it was an acquittal, but Black's innocent, unsophisticated mind couldn't comprehend (hat victory was at hand. is “I repeat, that Cornish is not worthy of reply.” SELLS TWO PLAYS.
