President Spencer’s telegram fol

Knoxville, Tenn., October 31.—J. S.
B. TbompdSh, Atlanta, Ga. —Dear Sir:
Referring _to our conversation of yes
terday 1 have looked over the plots
and papes relating to the property in
Atlanta and have consulted •>, it;-. (he
officers of the Central of Georgia rail
way company on the subject of the
possibility of locating a satisfactory
union depot on the site discussed, at
tae intersection of Mitchell and Madi
son streets. Instructions have been
given to the engineers to proceed at
once to make the necessary surveys of
the ground and tracks in order to sub
mit to architects at the earliest date
liossible the necessary information to
prepare preliminary plans for such a
station.
Piease aid the engineers in this
matter in order that wofk may be done
and decision reached as promptly as
practicable. Yours very truly,
ASM GEE SPENCER,
President.
The plan of President Spencer and
the other railroad officials interested
contemplates the construction of a
$6110,000 passenger depot on the
Mitcnell street property.
It is designed to make the station
the property of a company separate
from the railroads, but in which the
railroads shall be the shareholders.
All of the roads entering the city
will be invited to come into the new
Station as pan owners, sack paying
|an amount proportionate to the extent
to which it uses tae property, which
iis usually based on the number of
j trains per day entering and departing
from the station.
I There is no question that the Cen
tral and tlie Atlanta and West Point
will enter the new station on these
terms. And it is believed all of the
railroatTs entering the city will find it
to their advantage to accept this pro
posal and join in me new station. As
soon as plans have been decided upon
proposals, will be to the otuer
roads by Mr. Spencer looking to tuts

PROCEEDING OF
MOLINEUX TRIAL
—*—
FIRST WITNESS ON STAND FOR
THE DEFENSE WAS THE AC
CUSED MAN.
LARGE CROWD A1 COIRT
Ex-Senator Black Spoke Less Than
. Five Minutes,‘Declaring the Ac
cused Man Innocent.
New York. Nov. 1. —The defense
opened today in the trial of Roland B.
Molineux, charged with the murder of
Mis. Katherine J. Adams, and soon
after the opening of court, former
Governor Frank S. Black announced
that the first witness for the defense
would be the accused man. This
marked a departure from the course
of Molineux’s lawyers at the first trial.
The crowd which thronged the crim
inal court IBdlding today probably was
the laigest ever seen there. The reg
ular police force on hand was not
large nough to control Hie situation
and extra police were sent from near
by stations to aid in preserviugtorder.
Men and women were forced out of
the building In large numbers, hut
notwithstanding 200 persons more than
could be seated managed to get into
the trial room and considerable con
fusion resulted. When Molineux was
brought into court it was found thai
someone had removed his customarv
chair, and also that of his father, and
both had to stand until chairs ware
borrowed from another court room.
As soon as the jury was polled, for
mer Governor Black began his opening
address. He kept the promise lie
made yesterday, and spoke for lass
than five minutes. He declared the
accused man innocent of any connec
tion with the crime, and promised to
chow to the satisfaction of the ju ■•*
that Molineux nevor wrote any of th<
IneriminAting letters, or the address
on the poison package. When he fin
ished, he called out:
"Roland B. Molineux, take the wit
ness chair!”
Replying to the first question of his
lawyer. Molineux gave his -age at 33
years, told the date of his arrest and
the length of time he was in the Tombs
and in Sing Sing prison.
He said he took a course in chemis
try in Cooper Union after he left
school. When he was 16 years old
he went to Utah and Mexico. He
was co-respondent in a divorce suit,
anti it was thought better that he
should leave the city for awhile. Ho >-e
turned to New York a year later ant
got employment, in his father’s firm,
Devoe, Reynolds &. Cos., paints and vol
ors. He continued with the firm uti
tH he went to Newark as superinten
dent of the color factory of Morris,
Henman & Cos. He was a member
of the Knickerbocker Athietie club
for two years, resigned in 1897, when
he went to the New York Athletic
club. Hewas a member of the gov
erning board of the Knickerbocker
club.
Molineux said he did not approve of
Cornish's management of ihe booths or
of the gj mnasiitm. He complained
about the horizontal barr he had In
use. but vornish did not carry out his
directions. He made formal complaint
about Cornish because he thought Cor
nish had spoken disrespectfully about
Mr. Weeks, the president of the New
York Athletic club. Molineux said
he presented this matter to the author
ities of the Knickerbocker club, fit
no action was taken on this
complaint. Witness stroke to Cornisr
directly about the matter once o
twice.
Former Governor Black then an
nounced th* close j>f his direct exam
ination.

PRICE FIVE CENTS,
GREAT DAMAGE
MAT 8E RESDLT
TWELVE-INCH MAIN . PIPF. ON
MANSFIELD STREET CAUSE
A BIG CAVE-IN.
HOLES ARE OVERELOWING
A Force of Hands Are Hard at Work
and May Repair the Break Before
Any Considerable Damage is
Done. ;
There is a serious break In the sew
er pipes on Mansfield street, about
50 yards from the pumping station,
and, unless the force of hands now at.
work succeed in getting it repaired
at once, it *tnay be necessary to cut
off the entire southern portion of the
city from tne use of their sewers.
It seems that there has been a
weak spot In the large 12-inch pipe
for some time, and yesterday morning
the ground caved in and it was seen
that the pipes were broke In several
places. The eave-in covers about il6
feet of ground, and is the most seri
ous mishap to the system since it was
established.
An engine was secured and a force
of hands began work immediately in
an effort to pump away tne water, so
that the pipe could be repaired, and
the work was continued at, last night.
'Die pipe which has bursted effects
the entire city, south of Mansfield
street. and last nlphi all of tne large
holes of the sewer were almost over
dowing with the water used for flush
ug .Jiy people In that portion of the
city.
However, as soon as a connection
can be made and the engine gets to
pumping successfully, everything will
oe alright so that anew main pipe
"an be laid. The city officials wired
for the pipe yesterday and it will be
here as soon as possible.
The News is requested to ask the
people wno reside Bouth of Mansfield:
street to flush their sewers with a
uasin of water anad use as little as
possible until the break Is repaired.
Just what caused the large pipe to
oreak is not known, but it seems that
t has been out of order for some
time and the cave-in yesterday was
due to the fact that the pipe had been
oroko for a day or two and the large
.ole was overflowing.
BLOCKADE THE STREETS.
