effect. The Globe promises to publish

Fall River Angry.
FALL RIVER, Mass. Oct. 1O.-The
manifest breach of faith on the part of
certain officers connected with the Bor-
den murder cases, by which certain evil
dence has been given to the public, has
created anger in nearly all circles
here. more particularly among the
small cOterie of local newspaper
men who have been favored
with the confidence of the authorities,
with the understanding that some
things should not be printed. Miss Bor-
den has made many friends also because
of the broad publication of indicate
matters which we're purposely sup
pressed at the preliminary hearing. In
the published stories there were many
needless inaccuracies and some new
facts. These. together with some feel
lrg OF indignation, have prompted some
local men to tell what they were asked
to suppress. A local paper srys:
"A great deal Is printed regarding
the family relations which is not new.
1t is evident that somebody who has
been employed by the government in
this case has sold about every secret in
his possession or has given away the
same. The public is at liberty to guess
who the person was, and whether or
not he fattened his pOcketbook by the
transaction. Inasmuch. however. as
paid servant of the prosecution is under
no obligation to hold his tongue. the
paper feels at liberty to disclose any IN
formation which has come into Its pos
session.
Helped Lizzie.
The Fall River Globe says tonight:
A man very prominent in the case
says that the district attorney now has
in his possession the Ratchet with which
the murder was committed. 1t was
quite certain that local officers at work
on the case have given up their hunt
for the weapon. The story telegraphed
some time ago from Pawtucket, to the
effect that Mrs. James Marshall would
testify to having seen a man escape
from the Borden yard by way of Third
street proves to have little foundation
who was with the lady at the time, says
they saw no such person as described.
Tonight the opinion is very prevalent
here that the governments case has
been injured greatly by today'S devel-
opments. Whether Miss Borden IS
guilty or innocent they feel that con-
tinued excitement will tend to make a
fair, impartial trial more difficult than
ever and will tend to shatter
the respect of the proper authorities
among the general public. Both the
district attorney and the city marshal
have well-defined idea who the cul-
prit is. while Mayor Coughin is taking
steps to nave the local officers clear
themselves and to place the RESPONSE
bIllty for the premature publication
where 1t Iightfully belongs"
Names Are Fictitious.
Andrew j. jennings, counsel for the
defendant in the Borden murder cases.
made the following statement today.
1.-The matter published i'll Boston
paper this morning relating to the
murders of Andrew j. Borden and his
wife is tissue of lies. have ell
deavored to find out about Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Chase at the number Indicated
Q9S Fourth street, Fall River). There
is not only no such number, but notany
within fifty Oft. There is no such name
as George f. -SiSson III the directory nor
eani lind auy person who knows any
body of that name. The kernel of the
whole malicious story deals with COLI
dltion which is absolutely disproved by
things found in the cell lar by the prosecu-
ton, and admitted to be what Miss Liz
gle claimed they were. Subsequent
events have confirmed her claim. Mr..
Morse says that the whole story is ab-
Solutely falSe-nOt word of truth in it.
The Reagan story has already been
denied by Miss Emma and Miss Lizzie,
and WAS admitted by Mrs. Reagan to be
false TO at least six persons"
member of the police force says
that the names used in the story are fic-
titlous, but the matter is substantially
true.
Emphatic Denfals.
AT 10 tonight the Borden murders
are the sole topic of conversation in
hotels, clubs and the streets. The story
published this morning has caused re-
vulsion of feeling in favor of the girl.
