but declined to say whether or not the
Analysis was completed. It is generally
believed here that Professor Wood will be

testify as to what discoveries he has made
up to the present time. The defenca Is
also ready to proceed. Mr.. Adams arrived
here at q late hour, and was in consul.
tation with Mr.. Jennings for a long time.
Tonight the question is being very gener-
ally discussed as to whether or not the
assassin was left-handsd. The direction OF

Miss Borden is in very good spirits to-
night and looks forward eagerly to the
examination tomorrow. She has perfect
freedom of the matron's room, but COM
plains little of the noise made at o'clock
in the morning when the policemen are GO
ing to and returning from their beats.
One of the most prominent citizens is
quoted tonight as saying that he asked
Mr.. Borden why he was not spending the
summer at his farm in Swansea, receiving
the reply:
"No, I have had 90 much difficulty In
my family that have not felt like going
away"
Lemay, the Frenchman who reported
having seen q suspicious stranger in the
vicinity of Thomas Thurston's house, in
sists that his story Is correct. Two police
men are stationed at Steep Brook tonight
to watch him.
A woMAN's VISION.
A woman plainly dressed, with short,
dark hair, called at the police station this
afternoon in search of Marshal Hillard.
Failing to find him she returned tonight
and was closeted with him for half an
hour. She refused to give her name and
also declined to register at the Wilbur
house. where she was stopping. She told
the marshal that the was peculiarly gifted

pass down stairs with Ratchet in her
hand, go towards her father, putting the
hatchet in a corner, while she smoothed
the sofa pillow for her father to rest on.
Still later she saw Lizzie standing at the
head of the sofa hacking mercilessly at her
fathers skull. Marshal billiard
says that the woman appears to
be sane. Life-sized photographs have
been taken of the skulls of Mr.. and Mrs.
Borden, showing the position OF the

One-half of Mrs. Borden's skull is broken
in.
REV. DR.. JUBB MAKES A DENIAL.
In statement made tonight by Rev.
DR.. Jubb concerning his visit to Miss Liz
zie Borden at the police station to, day, that
gentleman says that the accounts sent from
here to-day were greatly exaggerated.
There was no excitement or unladylike
action on the part of Mrs. Reagan, the
matron, who simply asked him politely
to retire until she had obtained the nee-
essary permission from the authorities for
him to talk with the prisoner. This con-
sent was easily obtained, but in the mean
time Rev. DR.. Buck called and Mr.. Jubb
withdrew.
