Branch l5T Meets Tonight and Money
Will Probably be Forwarded.

Branch 457 OF the Iron Hall will meet
this evening at 62 Westminster street.
when action will be taken as to what
methods will be adopted for arranging
the financial affairs OF the order In this
State The cooler headed members are
strongly in favor Of forwarding it's funds
TO the receiver at indianapolis. and from
all that could be learned by ~ representa-
tive OF the NEWS IL can be safely said that
this will be done, as the officers or the
branches do not want to place themselves
In any position that will give them any
trouble In the future.
A number of the members OF Branch
451 called on their accountant. Anson l..
Rice, this morning, TO paw their assess
ments, but found that he was off on va
cation. They were told not to pay any
assessments until little later on. as they
have until the lst OF October TO pay anv
assessment that may be due AS yet no
attempt has been made TO ask for any In
junction or to have n receiver appointed.
And what is done will be done with the
best of legal counsel.
Learning that Mr.. Somerby had sent
out circular containing plan for re-
organizing the order. A NEWS reporter
went to the Deputy Supreme Justice to-
day TO ask IL the circular could be pub
lshed.
When the reporter opened the oslc,
door the deputy looked up and said u
have nothing for you"
Seated by the deputy was a man read
ing Somerby's circular.
Have you received circular from Mr.
Somerbys" asked the reporter.
NO" said tht deputy.
The reporter altered the question
"Haye you circular which was sent out
by My Somerby?" was asked.
Not looking up the man went on read
ing the circular.
The question asked by the reporter was
answered In the Affirmative but he was
directed to the accountant II he desired
to be informed as to it's contents. The
deputy would not allow the eyes of the
reporter to rest on the contents OF his cir
cular, and, as the accountant was out oi
town. his circular could not be obtained.
And the deputy would not talk.
The aversion Of the members OF the
order in talking about Iron Hall matters
the deputy not being alone in being un'
willing TO converse. naturally leads one
to the reflection that they feel bad"

BRIDGET's RECORD.

The Defense Looks Up Her Newport En-
ployers, but Finds Little of Interest.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 29.-The hear
ing in the Borden case was resumed at
1855 today. The defence has been ac-
lively engaged In Newport, learning
something regarding Bridget Sullivan's
career In that city. Detective Richards
and Attorney Phillips looked up her rec
ord there, but found nothing OF impor-
tance, except a rumor that she has very
hot temper. She worked In two places
besides the Perry House, as she stated on
the witness stand. The purpose Of the
inquiry is to determine how reliable her
evidence Is, also to learn II she would
become SO much provoked that she would
qurrrel seriously with Mr.. and Mrs. Bor-
oen. 1t is believed here that Miss Sulli-
vans character Is above reproach. A
search into her career, while In this city,
shows that Miss Sullivan is a very good,
truthful woman. Her past employers
speak very kindly Of her. and say she was
always devoted church member. Her
unshaken testimony has done much to
establish the strength OF the case OF the
government. --------
1t seems to be generally allowed that
the government has q strong case.
duced to warrant binding over Miss Liz
zie until the next grand jury. The hear
ing has by no means ended, however, az
Prot. Wood is yet to be heard on the
character OF the blood spots on the cloth
ing, axe and other articles taken from
the Borden house. The defence now
proposes to call a witness who will show
that much of DIR. Dolan's testimony is
unreliable.
Ex-Medical Examiner Dwelley has
been close listener to the trial, and 1t is
understood that he will be called as an
expert on the part OF the defence, to re-
but much OF the testimony that has been
given. The defence claims that there are
large holes In the governments expert
Testimony, and some unooked for deni-
ais are expected. Miss Lizzie received
.here usual visitors yesterday. She read
some bib.e passages selected by Rev. Mr..
Buck. The day was long to her, because
she had no sewing or other womanly oc-
cupation to take up her mind.
The officers who now guard the ap-
prosches to tho matron's room, are pre-
venting the unsccmly disturbances TO
which the prisoner was subjected. Mar

WHAT MORE DOES BRIDGET KNOW
The Defence Tried to Find Out and Was
1Bafffed.

FALL RIVER, Aug. 29.-The State is
keeping back its strongest testimony
During Mr.. Adams cross-examinatlon of
Bridget Sullivan Saturday, the audience
was continually being puzzled by his APP
parently desperate efforts TO find lead
some vh here in her answers TO his often
trivial questions. What Mr. Adams was
after was that part OF Bridget Sullivan's $
testimony at the inquest which District
Attorney Knowlton carefully avoided at
the examination.
There was something Mr.. Adams knew
that perfectly we'll. and no attorney ever
rnade a braver. better fight to bring IL out.
But he could not stir the immobile Brid-
get one iota. At one time he was very
near striking at the truth, but the girl
never wavered. That was wnen he turned
up the unexpected point about the type
written document which District Attor-
ney Kuowlton showed TO Bridget after
the adjournment on Friday Did Bridget
read it 4? No. Did AR knowlton reat it
to herr Yes. What was it about Brid-
get din't know.
What, she had no ideas No, none in
she world. Well, hope Bridget was
trictly honest about tha {. She said that
what Mr.. Knowlton read To her about
half dozen words. On the contrary it
was about half a dozen questions put to
her on the inquest with the answers she
gave 10 them. These questions and an
swers contain the very substance and
marrow of the prosecutions case.
Now you can see why Mr.. Adams was
so anxious to get 1t. What the SIX ques-
tions are is secret which Mr.. Knowlton
is carefully guarding for the grand jury.
The shrewdest guessers are as much in
the dark as Mr.. Adams was when his
fruitless cross-examination ended. II is
only admitted that they are of vital i'm
portance.
or the stories that have been printed
about Bridget Sullivan's testimony there
was one that during the time she was up
stairs in her room, she sat at her window
commanding full view OF the back yard
and the barn and she swore that Lizzie
Borden did not go to the barn as she said,
nor enter the back yard Another was to
the effect that either when Bridget came
down stairs in reply to Lizzie alarm or
before that she saw Lizzie with the bloody
axe.
1t is possible that Mr. Adams suspects
the nature Of the information which is
withheld. but is debarred by the rules of
procedure from verifying the suspicious
by any leading questions. He could not
ask Bridget Sullivan if she saw Lizzie
with an axe or il she was looking out of
the window, because none of these things
had been brought out In the direct exam
ination.
