A POISONING CASE.
GENERAL'S SON ARRESTED. (united press association.) (by electric telegraph. COPYRIGHT). New York, Maroh 2. Roland Molineaux, a son of General Molineaux, has been arrested here on a charge of poisouing Mrs Kate Adams, and attempting to poison Harry Cornish, physical director of the Knickerbocker Club. The latter boarded with Mrs Adams, and on Christmas Day received a package by post containing what purported to be a bottle of bromo-seltzer, a remedy for headache. A few days afterwards Mrs Adams suffered from headache and took a dose of the mixture, and died in a few minutes. Both Cornish and the medical man who attended the woman tasted the stuff and were taken violently ill. The bottle was supposed to contain either cya* nide of potassium or cyanide of mercury.
