MOLINEUY'S WIFE IN FURY Denies that Reasons Al- leged for Her Seeking Divorce Are Correct and Says She Has a Surprise. DEATH - HOUSE QUARREL. (t Is Said that It Was in that Gruesome Place She Deter- mined to Seek Separation from the Man Who Was On the Brink of the Grave, SIOUX FALLS, 8. Dak. 19.— Mrs, Blanche Chesebrough Molineux said to-day: “The reasons which are al- leged to have led me to seek a divorce as told in a New York newspaper and telegraphed to me are absurd. In fact they are infamous. I deny them in toto. “I have a more far-reaching and sur- prising cause for aeeking my divorce from Roland Burnham Molineux, but I @o not now care to state what It Is. It wii] astonish the community when it be- comes known, but perhaps it may not be necessary to offer it as a plea when the heating of my:eult comes up. “That article ts woven together from a mass of incidents, inuendoes and alle- ations made since the tragedy in which my husband figured first started. Sev- eral times within ‘he last awful four years-of my life these statements that are now so carefully gathered have ap- peared in the newspapers, and from time to time Gen. Moilneux or some one of his counsel has contradicted them.” Nov. In the gruesome shadows of the death- house at Sing Sing Blanche Molineux and the husband who was then await- fing the touch of the executioner's but- ton that should cut his thread of life had their quarrel. All tles of affection that were supposed to have existed be- fore that dramatlo meeting were fo! gotten, and it was there that the wife who now seeks divorce first made her declaration of hatred for the man she says she can no longer endure. A remarkable story of the circum- stances is printed in the Herald to-day. Believed Him a Martyr. Up to the time of that scene Mrs. Molineux haa belleved in her husband AS a persecuted martyr and had heroi- cally borne the terrible burdens of the stigmas placed upon her, A straight- forward question, a few sharp and bitter words of stinging reply and the mention of unother woman's name and the pris- oner's wife left the foreshadowing death house with the steel rankling in her heart and whatever spark of love she might have had for him was cold and dead, Throughout the first few years of the tragedy that had almost torn her from her hueband, the world admired Mrs. Molineux's devotion, largely because she had been accused of indiscretions that made her appear to be the sinner that led him to do wrongly. It was also sald that she had agreed to wed Moll- neux after Barnet—the man she had loved—was laid in his coffin, though he had proposed to her many times before while Barnet lived. Then came the death of Mrs. Adams, ‘and slowly the net of evidence gathered by the poljce began to settle upon Molineux's shoulders, The First Shock. Her first shock of surprise was at the @eep interest her husband took in the tragic story of Mrs, Adams's death, but when the terrible accusations began to press him to the wal she witnessed fhe wonderful nerve of the man, so significant of innocence, she had pert confidence In him and prayed that he might be restored to her quickly. She lived with his parents In Brooklyn and suffered Intensely with them during the long wait for the first trial. ‘She abandoned her friends and put the happy world she had lived in behind her, bearing up with wonderful courage the nerve-racking ordeal of having to meet dally the sor@id creatures who fat- tened upon her misery. Then as plece by piece the District Attorney began to patch together the evidence with which to prosecute her husband she learned many taings about his former ilfe she had never heard before. She could not fathom the r peated assertions of the prosecutor that {nyportant witnonses were being paid to remain without ‘he jurisdiction, espec- dally in regard to Mamie Melando, with whom the name of Roland B. Mol- fneux had been unpleasantly associaced, ‘Then came the evidence of the robin's exg-blue note paper and the admission of her husband of having written a let- ter on this paper to Dr, James Burns asking for a certain medicine, presum- ably for the same purpose for which the fictitious Cornish and spurious Barnet Tetters were written, Stick to Me, He Hor husband had sald to her at the “Wery outset of the trouble: “See here, now we are man and wife and you must stick to ine through this.
