At II 10 o'clock the police wore informed that
man had been stabbed on Second street. AT
A score OF citizens testify to that fact. He
had thirty-1lve minutes in which to 60 to Sec.

for o nap.
He could not have reached tho house before

father was sitting and went to the barn at 10
20 minutes, as she informed ofllcer Harrinx-
ton. her fathers death was known down town
before she reached tho house. 1t Is therefore
argued that she Il ps0rTSet to 81 me time

evident that the Job was done with rapidity
that was incom prehensible. The wounds
prove that the blows fell with n precision that
was appalling. and that they were not driven
home In q wild frenzy.
There is another argument to esta blish the
theory OF Miss Bordens guilt The police
claim that no stranger could have ki! led Mrs.
Borden without an cutlery being made. Mrs.
Borden was evidently standing up when death
came.
There Is some reason. they say. to think that
the person, who was in the room with Mrs;
Borden had right to be there; else she would
have screamed for help. and that scream
| would have been heard as readily as Miss
| Borden's cry a little later.
Inasmuch as the only persons In the house
| who had right to be In the room with Mrs.
| Borden were the servant girl and Lizzie Dor

near as to strike her without giving her a
chance to cry out.
