WEEKS, ’THE COUNISiEL FOR THE DEiPBN^, MADE SEVE.RAL MOTIONS WHEOH WERE DENIED —NEW YORK AFTERNOON PA PERS SAY “iMOLINEUX IS NGT GUILTY,” NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—^At the open-' ing o f the proceedings In the Molinfeux trial to-day, the defense sprung a sur prise by announcing that they rested their case upon the evidence as sub mitted by the prosecution. Mr, Weeks, the counsel for the de fense, made several motions which were denied and then began summing up.. He en,umerated the things the man must have had who sent the poison package to Cornish. Many people, he said, could have had a blue bottle.many a Tiffany box and many could have had manila wrapping paper, but'only one could have had a silver bottle holder purchased at 'Hartdegen’s ^eiwelry store in Newark. It had been proved by the testimony o f Emma iMiller, who made the sale, that the defendant was -not the man who had bought the holder. No man, he said, would ever place his life in the hands of any one else by having the holder purchased for him, and no honest man, who might have been used as a tool, would have re mained silent about the matter.

However, one of the witnesses for the state. De tective McCafferty, is also ill, and was unable to appear in court. Recorder GoH, however, did not al low another adjournment to give the state time to produce this witness. Still another cate of illness affected proceedings yesterday, Mr. Weeks, the defense, announcing that he t not prepared to go on with the immediately after the midd: assistant, tChls, the court allowed, but It is ex pected that the defense will commence promptly this morning. Thus, after 60 days the evidence for the state is ail In, Assistant Distr'et Attorney Osborne having made his opening argument on Monday, Dec. 4. This does not, of course, include the time spent in the securing of a jury. Nearly 90 witnesses have heen exam ined for the prosecution, and Mr. Os- )rne contends that he has proven the case in all particulars. On the other hand, Bartow S. Weeks, leading counsel for the defense, as serts that the state has proven no part of the case, and he will undoubtedly file a iftotU cause of la is not seriously corder will entertain this motion. In : of the defense introducing ience, Mr. Week says that he does 5t to take up, as much time as already occupied.

From the Presidency o f the Standard Oil Co., of Ohio. NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—The Evening Post says: “A report from Cleveland that John Di Rockfeller has resigned the presi dency of the Standard Oil company of Ohio, one of the suibsldiary companies of the trust, gave rise to-day to the impression that he had retired from his position in the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey, now the main cor poration. This is incorreot. Mr .Rock feller has resigned the position in the Ohio company merely', and will he suc ceeded by Vice President A. M. McGre gor, of the New Jersey company. The reasons for the change are said to be partly* because of Mr. Rockfeller’s health, and partly of his desii'c to avoid being dra-wn into future investi gations of the company’s affairs, such as that lately managed by Attorney- General Monett of Ohio.” * - STATE LEGISLATURE.
