THE BORDEN CRIMES.

Miss Lizzie Not Likely to be Ar
raigned To-day-Attorney Jennings
May Continue as DEFENDANTS Coun-
sel-Several interested Parties Worn
with Anxiety.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 5.-Speaking
of the Borden case tonight, Andrew j.
Jennings, esq , said he did not expect that
Miss Borden would be arraigned to-mor-
row, as has been published. The theory
of the law is that when an arraignment of
the commission of a capital crime is made
defendant besides pleading will also have
voice saying who shall be appointed to
defend her. The appointment is made by
the presiding Judge There is no doubt
that in this case Miss Borden will want Mr..
Jennings to continue to act for her; conse-
quently Mr.. Jennings feels that when Mr..
Pillsbury shall determine the date of the
arraignment he (Mr. Jennings) will, by
courtesy. be notified. Mr.. Jennings be-
ieves that an arraignment will be made
within two weeks at latest.
The unfortunate ending of the life of
Mr.. Tricky has brought to public notice
the fact that some other persons are in
uauSci VI SoiAS W caily SiaNos 90 LILO lo-
suit of the great Borden crimes. The news
of the Indictment, together with the nerv-
Gus strain to which Miss Emma Borden
was subjected before the grand jury, has
made her ill, and yesterday she was almost
completely FRUSTRATED. Mrs. Bowen, who
was not strong on the day the murders
were committed, has been in a highly nerv-
Gus condition ever since, and at times her
friends have been doubtful as to her ability

WASHINGTON, Dec. GA beautiful, blight
sunny day gave an added attraction to that
which usually draws crowds to witness the
opening of a new session of congress.
Senate.
The senate gallery was unusually crowd
ed this morning. The day was bright and
public curiosity was aroused by the fact
that this session of congress is to close
completely the rule of party which
has existed for more than generation.
There were no outward manifestations
of triumph or dependency over the
results of the recent election, and cen
ators greeted each other with the old time
warmth. The attendance Of senators was
large. Among the absentees were Mr.. Ken
ma (dem., W. Vs), still confined to his
house in this city by illness; Mr.. Gibson
dem Lag, dangerously i'll at hot Springs,
Ark. Mr.. Colquitt dem, Ga). who has
tack of last summer to come to Washing
ton; and Messrs. Jones (rep., Nevada) and
Allison rep, Ia.), who are in attendance
as delegates to the silver convention at
Brussels. For the first time in forty-four
years Dennis Murphy, the official reporter.
was absent from his desk at the opening of
the sesson-his absence being caused by
illness.
Vice President Morton called the senate
to order at noon, and Chaplain Butler
opened proceedings with prayer. Then
for Mr.. Edmunds' unexpired term and for
a new term from the 4th of March next
were presented by Mr.. Merrill, and the
oath of Office was administered.
The usual resolution directing the secre-
tary to notify the house of the senate's b.
ing in session and for the appointment of
q committee to wait on the president and
inform him that congress was ready to re-
ceive any communication be might desire
to make, were agreed to; and then Mr..
Sherman rep, O. proposed an adjourn
ment on the ground that, according to the
public press, the presidents message would
not be ready till tomorrow.

Report of the Master in the Arnot
Suft-The Lease Not in Violation of
the States Constftution-Excep
Overruled.
W1LL1AMsPoRT, Pa, Dec. 5.-Hon. w.
W. Hart, the master and examiner ap-
pointed in the suit of Matthias 81. Arnot
against the Philadelphia and Reading and
other corporations interested in the Read
ing deal filed his report to-day. He finds
that the roads owned and operated by the
Reading and Lehigh Valley railroads are
not parallel and competing, and that the
lease of the Lehigh Valley road by the
Philadelphia and Reading is not in VIC
lation of the constitution of Pennsylvania.
He finds further that as the Central railroad
of New Jersey and Port Reading are both
corporations the lease of the Central
to the Port Reading is not in violation of
the constitution of Pennsylvania. The
coal leases are also sustained on the ground
that not more than 80 per cent of the out
put of Pennsylvania is produced or con-
trolled by the Philadelphia and Reading
and the Lehigh. Exceptions have been
filed to the masters report by Messrs. Nc
Cormick and Stanchfisld, who represent
the plaintiff, but these have been overruled
by the master. The case will now go be
fore Judge Metzger, where it will be ar
| gued as soon as possible, and in due sea
son the judge will pass upon the great
| question involved. After his opinion Ii
handed down it will go to the suprem,
court.

ONE OF THE JURORS TALKS.

Interviewed by a Globe Reporter
How the Indictment Against Lizzie
Borden wa Secured.
BosToN, Dec 5.-The Globe this after
noon prints en- interview with one of the
members of the grand jury which had be-
fore it the case of Lizzie Borden. The
juror is reported as saying that the attor-
ney general and the district attorney in
particular, were 30 much worked up over
the abuse and utilization to which they
were subjected that they sent for Andrew
J. Jennings (of counsel for defense) and
asked him to put in the evidence for de-
tense, and he did 30. ''Mr. Knowiton sat
back and took no part in the matter, but
left 1t to the jurors to ask questions"
1.-THE government witnesses" said the
juror, "were reluctant and acted as if they
wanted to bslieve Lizzie Borden innocent.
The witnesses for defense, however, came
in, testified freely and handled truth care
lessly, to say the least.
eat the eleventh hour the friends of Liz
zie A. Borden came up penitent or con-
soience-stricken and told that which
clinched the case in the minds of the jur-
ors. 1 think the district attorney was sat-
isfed he could get the Indictment without
the admissions made by the defense"
In speaking of threats that had been
made, the juryman said: "Why, during
the recess taken by the jury, when was
at Hargraves' mill, heard a man, who did
not know was member of the jury, say
he would be one man who would kill the
| jurymen. When I made myself known
and told him if anything happened to any
of the jury he would be the first man to be
looked after, he then weakened aud apollo
gized, saying he did not mean anything
We found bill against Lizzie A. Border
/ the day before we came in" said the jury
man, "and the next morning, when WI
were considering another case, the dis
| trict attorney read us lette
which he had received from Brsttleboro
VT, which was to the effect that the bes
thing he, the district attorney, could d.
was to let Lizzie Borden out and give he
her freedom and lock Bridget Sullivan n
in one cell and John V. Morse in another
and ending: Now if the jurors find bill
against Lizzie A. Borden look out TO
White Caps The district attorney go
lots of letters about the case, and after tn
recess it was reported that the friends o
Lizzie said they might as we'll tell all the

vOLUMrNOUs EVIDENCE.

Professor Briggs Submits an Enor-
nous Mass of Documents-Charge
Outrageous Conduct - Or. Birch
opens for the Prosecution.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The trial of Profess
sor Briggs for heresy was resumed to-day.
Colonel McCook offered additional evidence
on behalf of the prosecution. Mr.. Briggs
submitted his evidence. 1t was even more
voluminous than that brought against him.
He offered the whole of the holy scriptures,
King James version, and also the Hebrew,
Greek, and revised English versions. He
also put in the whole of the standard of
the church and the whole of the inaugural
addresses in all it's versions. The doctor
said he would read only extracts, though
he reserved all his rights. After reading
for perhaps fifteen minutes, DR.. Briggs
offered as additional evidence the
confession of faith, edition of
1850, the minutes of the session
of Westminster assembly, 1914 40; all the
records of the Presbyterian church in
America; all the minutes of the presbyieries
between 1744-1S92; DR.. Schaff's creeds of
Christiaudom and several articles publish
ed in the Presbyterian Review and a score
of other works. These documents were
offered in evidence, DR.. Briggs explained,
in SO far as they bore upon the case.
When Professor Briggs had concluded
reading from his evidence Colonel MoCook
| the testimony he had read in conformity
with the "book." Professor Briggs replied
that the "book" did not provide for admin
istering any oath upon the submission of
mere documentary evidence. He then, with
i some heat, said:
''I fully realize the purpose of the prose
cutien; they want to get the advantage of
cross-examinstion before l have submitted
my own oral evidence. This is the most
outrageous course of conduct 1 have ever
heard proposed" Applausel.
Colonel McCook did not think 1t was an
outrage to get Professor Briggs to verify
his own statement.
Moderator Bliss decided that Professor
Briggs distinction between oral and docu-
mentary evidence was well taken. The
decision ELECTED loud applause and some
Misses, both from the body of the hall and
the galleries.
The moderator warned the visitors in
the gallery that they must not applaud.
Colonel McCook offered an exception to
the moderator's decision and he moved
that the decision be accepted as that of the
presbytery. This motion was carried by g
large majority.
DR.. G. w. F. Birch, chairman of the
prosecuting committee, opened the case
for the prosecution. He began the read
ing of a long document, the first part oil
which was devoted to the history of the
, case. DR.. Briggs cut the artery of Presby
| terianism.
When DR.. Birch had arrived at tn.
"charges" it was decided to take a recess
until tomorrow, at the O'Clock limit wal
nearly up. Tomorrow charges I. and II
will be taken up.
