the Grand Jury.

Break Down the Testi-
mony Of DR.. Dolan.
A High Government Official
Believes L lizzie Is Guilty
Of the Crime.
Arrest Of an Accomplished
Forger Who Had Out
Witted One Detective.

ALL RIVER, Mass. Aug. 2S.-Ihe
nearing III the Borden ease will be re-
sumed at 1915 tomorrow morning. The
defense has been actively engaged in
Newport today learning something re-
garding Bridget Sullivan's career
Ill that city. Her past employers
speak very highly of her and say she
was a devoted church member. Her
mistaken testimony has done much to
establish the strength of the case of the
government. 1t seems to be generally
allowed that the government has
strong case. Enough evidence has now
been introduced to warrant binding
over Miss Lizzie until the grand jury.
The hearing has been by no means
ended, as Prof. Wood is yet TO be heard
on the character of blood spots on the
linen, AK and other articles taken from
the Borden house. The defense now
proposes to call witnesses who will show
that much of DR.. Dolan's testimony is
unreliable. EX-Medical Examiner d.
w. Ely has. been an active listener to
the trial, and it is understood he will be
called as an expert Oh the part of the
DEFENSE to disprOve much of the testi-
mony that has been given. The defense
claims there are large discrepancies in
the medical testimony, and some devel
Opments are lOOkedfOr.
The day was long to Miss Lizzie be
cause She had 10 sewing OF other WON
anly occupation to take up her mind
Inc officers who now guard the ap-
proach to the matron'S room are pre-
venting the unSeemly disturbances to
winch the prisoner was subjected
Marshal billiard will not give out a
statement regarding his Investigation
into the truth of Matron Regan's stories
about the sisters quarrel.
Believes Lizzie Guilty.
An official who stands high in the
government cOunsels was asked this
morning his opinion concerning the
guilt or innocence of Lizzie Borden. He
said in substance: IL have no hest
tatiOn i'll saying that | believe her
guilty of the crime" Being pressed
for the ground on which his
Judgment was based, the official
said 1T was largely founded on the evil
dence of Bridget Sullivan at the exam
nation yesterday afternoon, although
developments at the private examina-
ton which resulted in Lizzie's arrest
were strongly condemnatory. The
official said the crime must have
been committed by some one
who was FAMILIAR with the ar
rangementS of the house, with the move
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. Borden and of
Lizzie on the day of the murder. The
appearance of Lizzie at the back
door when Bridget Sullivan went
into the back yard in the MORN
Ing. and her inquiry of the SER
want, were suspicious circumstances
hG,r Y
disappeared from sight and sound,
while Bridget was washing the outside
windows OF the house. She was not
Oeen by Bridget again around the rear
OF the house, and this would
Give Time for the Murder
of Mrs. Borden to have been committed.
The noise made by Bridget in washing
the windows would have deadened to
her ears any sound which came from
the upper rooms of the house. The de-
paiture of Bridget TO the upper
rooms soon afterward placed her
out of the way while the MUIR
der of Mr.. Borden was ac-
complished. 1t is now thought that tine
examination of Lizzie will occupy at
least three days next week.
With regard to the refusal Yesterday
of Marshal Hillyard To allow Matron
Reagan 10 sign paper stating that no
scene had occurred between Lizzie and
her sister Emma, the Globe says Marshal
Hillyard said this morning that, aside
from the fact that Matron Reagan is a
government witness, he would not
allow her to sign that paper because
she had admitted to him that she had
spoken about the scene which she had
witnessed between Emma and Lizzie,
and in signing that paper she would
have compromised herself. The Globe
adds: THE talk which Matron
Reagan had had with the city
marshal was contrary and in
direct opposition to the spirit and in
tent Of the contents of the document
which the lawyer for the defense had
prepared and had asked Matron Reagan
to sign. The matron told the marshal
the story as she remembered it, and if
she had signed the document she would
probably have subscribed to a false
statement and this statement could not
have been corrected for her name
would have been attached to written
