THE BORDEN MURDER.
Reports in the Boston Globe Adverse TO
LiIzie Borden Denied.

Providence. K. l., Oct. 13.-Priyate
Detective McIIenry, the authG of the
story published in the Boston Globe re-
garding the Borden case, is now ell
deavoring to show to the Fall River
authorities that he was working in their
behalf. and that his intention was to
trick the Globe reporter. lie alleges that
he felt that the reporter was playing Il
part. and that he was trying TO fInd out
Inst what the reporter was up 10, ana
Tor whom he was working, intlmating
that the evidence in the case which the
newspapers man was to buy was TO be
communicated to the defense IN the
Borden case.
McHe.ry says: MY only object in
leading the reporter off on a wild goose
chase was to see if the surmise held by
me and others was correct. and, IN order
that the paper he represented might not
be led into error. ] explicitly cautioned
him not to publish anything without CIV
ing me twenty-fOur hours notice. Having
obtained all that ] wanted from him it
was my desire to tell him when be gave
me the notice | required that he had
better not publish the story, as 1t was not
true. Instead Of notifying me as he
promised he rushed the story into print,
and the result is that the paper he re-
presented was fOolishly caught by the APP
plication which was intended solely TO
find out just where the reporter stood,
and how far he was aiding the Govern
ment or defense in his detective work
McEienry denies having received any
money from the Globe man.

is fair. and is an imitation Of the new
distinctive distributed fibre paper used
by the Government. the fibre being imi-
tated in blue and pink ink by the use of
a pen. The face of the note bears a
light impression. which gives the number
ing. though good, heavy appearance.
The portrait of General Grant is poor,
the nose being broad and fiat. The let
tering, with few exceptions, is good, and
the small seal excellent in workmanship
and color. The green on the back of the
note is very light, and has a blue tinge,
and the geometric lines are so untrue and
indstinct that little scrutiny reveals
the false character of the note.
