Assistant District Attorney Osborne is not sanguine of obtaining a conviction of Roland B. Molineux at his second itrial on the charge of causing the death of Mrs. Katherine Adams, which is xpeciea lo begin on Monday. Apart from the additional burden im posed upon the prosecution by the rul ings of the appellate court, excluding the " Barnett letters, and other Impor tant evidence used in the first trial, Mr. Osborne finds that some of his most important witnesses have removed to other states and are said to be un willing to again o on the witness stand. "Altogether there are seven or eight such witnesses," said Mr. -Osborne, "who live in New Jersey, Connecticut or fithpr nan not be found JC Ultj " - . or are unwilling to sacrifice tneir nine by" again attending the trial. "I have tjust returned from another witness-hunting trip to Newark, N. J. One of the most important witnesses for the prosecution, Mamie Melando, I can not locate at all. It was she who took care of Molineux's room in the chemical factory building at Newark. Washington, Oct. 2. President Roose velt is determined that the strike and the coal famine shall end simultane ously and at once. He honestly believes there is a very serious famine, and as to the strike he thinks it can be ami cably settled if both sides 'will consent to make the concessions clearly dic tated by common sense and a desire to act the part of honesty and fairness. That these concessions will be made is the president's hope and belief. If he is disappointed in this he intends to take such means within his power as president to force operations notwith standing the fight between miners and operators. The president is terribly in earnest in the matter and firmly con vinced he can find his authority and justification in the statutes as they New Orleans, Oct. 2. Beyond the dis covery that a. large number of wires had been cut in the upper part of the city there were no early morning de velopments in the street car strike. There was evident, however, a feeling that the negotiations between the com pany and the employes would lead to some plan of arbitration during1 the day. The last proposition of the men that they be given an eight hour con tinuous day at 25 cents an hour, these terms to continue in the event that the men prove the violation of the April agreement, was handed to President Pearson at the Pickwick club early this morning'. I he public continues to be greatly inconvenienced by the strike, but fine weather is lessening somewhat their' hardships. Primitive methods of trans portation continue to be employed and several hundred vehicles of all sorts are running to janai street from every NEGRO MURDERER SENTENCED TO DIE section of the city. No attempt to run cars to carry passengers had been made by the company up to 9:30 o'clock. , The Nenv 'Orleans railway's manage ment this afternoon sent a letter to Mayor Ca.pdeviUe, rejecting the last proposition of the strkers to return to work nob: th basis of eight hours at 25 cenW pending investigation of the charge that the April agreement haa been violated. The comnanv Insist that it nifill only consent to the return of the men at the old scale, aereeine to -arbitrife the question of increased pay and reduced hours if it is proven that the April agreement has been vio lated. In its letter the company states . that it has been ready to operate ita cars 6ince Sunday and that if the meo do not accept its proposition this even ing it will proceed to fill their places andoper4te its cars for regular traffic. If the company attempts to run its cars with iiofr-union men extensive violence is certati. Special to the Gazette. Raleigh, N.
