Interesting Circumstances Connected With
the Murder Developed.

FALLS RIVER, Mass, August 2f.-It has
come 20 the knowledge of the public to-day
that Bridget Sullivan had, long before the
tragedy at the Bordon home. confded TO
intimate friends certain facts which
leave little doubt that there
had been constant warfare
going. on in the SecOnd-street house. Mrs.
Borden and her dauR ,ters were on any,
thing but pleasant terms with each other,
although the former tried in every way 10
establish pleasant relations. Lizzie showed
more antipathy toward the elder woman than
did her sister. 1t is supposed that at the
inquest Bridget Sullivan delivered great
deal Of important information of this char
acter and furnished the Government broad
grounds on which to base the theory OF
motive.
Another new feature Of the case is letter
which Lizzie wrote TO her sister Emma the
Tuesday before the murder The first
knowledge Of this letter came out
81 LiZzies examination at the inquest
in reply TO the question. Had you
over noted any suspicious persons about
the house on the day of the tragedy" She
said she had not on that day, but had on
the Monday night before. ana had written
an account of the incident 10 her sister
Emma. Inquiry develops the fact that on
Wednesday Emma did got letter from LIZ
ze in which the latter refers 20 her anxiety
over something which happened on Monday
night. When she was returning home from
a call she noticed man in the back yard
Just as she opened the side gate. He disap-
peared on discovering her. After entering
the house Lizzie wrote she was
so disturbed over what she had seen
that she went to one of the windows in her
room commanding the yard and watched.
She saw "a man who looked like the ono she
had seen already moving about, but it was
quite dark and she could not give any de-
soription of him.
Emma Borden showed this letter to friends
in Fair Haven with whom she was visiting
when she received IL. and then destroyed il.
She says it also turns out that the letter
which LIZZIE Borden sent to her Marion
friends, and which was received by them
on the day Of the murder, was also de-
stroyed because il contained reference
TO something, which, in the opinion of the
young woman to whom 1t was sent. might
in the light OF subsequent events be miscon-
strued. Some OF the speculating ones are
now wondering if that something was not

told her sister was about the Borden house
