New York Poisoning Case.

THE CASE DISMISSED. New York, April 14. The sensational poisoning case in which Kolaud Molineux, the son of a chemist and superintendent of a color factory, was charged with 'laving poisoned Mrs Kate Adams and attempted to poison Harry Cornish, has come for trial before one of the New York Judges. The circumstances of the case were these : A young man named Harry Cornish, of New York, received by post a bottle containing a beverage known to the Americans as bromoseltzer, and put it by. One night Mrs Adams, whose house he was staying, felt the need of a refreshing drink, and Cornish's bottle of bromcselizer was offered to hrr. She dmik it, and died from the effects. lhe\ cause of death was found to have *"" been poisoning with cyanide of mercury. Circumstantial evidence pointed to Molineux, who had had a quarrel with Cornish, they having been fellow-members of the" Knickerbocker Cub. It has been stated that a strong web of evidence was woven around him, but that powerful social an<J political influence would be exerted in his favor. The public excitement over the case has been increased rather than diminished by the fact that the Judge has dismissed the ease.
