River, setting forth in detail new and start
ling evidence for the prosecution in the Bor-
den murder case which,, it says, is in the
hands Of the police and is to be given by

standing over the dead body Of Mrs. Borden.
Others, it is said, will testify to having
overheard a quarrel between Lizzie and her
father on the night previous to the murder.

formerly Of Fall River, is, it is said; the at
torney consulted by Lizzie Borden about the
property rights in a fathers estate should a

and went to, bed early; but, when they
returned to school next day, Frank
knew his lesson perfectly, while Rob-
ert pleaded that he had had no time
to learn it.
'How did you find time, Frank"
asked the master.
II had ten minutes before dinner
yesterday, sir, a quarter OF an hour
going back to school, and as much
before cricket. Then I looked over
my lesson and went to bed, and took
ten minutes before breakfast this
morning to make it perfect"
(Which makes an hours prepara-

minutes, the hours will take care of
themselves"
1t is needless to say that Robert
