dignantly Denied by Miss Emma Bor-
 den, Attorney Jennings and MT. Morse--
 Felt That the Prosecution is Weakened.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. 1.-The Borden murder case is again the sole topic of conversation. The story published yesterday has influenced feeling in favor of the girl, and it is felt that the govern ment case has been injured. Attorney Jennings, Miss Emma and MT. Morse em- phatically deny all statements regarding quarrels, etc. Mir. Morse is intensely angry and will seek legal redress.
 Bridget Sullivan and Detective Seaver spent some time together yesterday look ing into the minor details. The appraisal of the Borden estate has been completed, but no figures will be given out until the report is submitted to the Probate Court.
 District Attorney Knowlton is in New Bedford. Regarding the publication, he expressed the opinion that the case would not be hurt thereby.
 Mir. Jennings made the following statement to reporter: ''The matter published in a Boston paper relating to the murders of Andrew J. Borden and his wife is tissue of lies.
 II have endeavored to find out about MT. and Mrs. Fred Chase at the number indicated-1S2 Fourth street, Fall River. '"There is not only no such number, but not any within 40 of it. There is no such name as George F. Sisson in the direct ory, nor can I find any person who knows anybody by that name. '"The kernel of the whole malicious story deals with condition which is ab- solutely disproved by things found in the l-rN T 1 be what Miss Lizzie claimed they were. Subsequent events have confirmed iher l claim.'
 Morse says that the whole story is abso- | lutely false, not word of truth in it. | The Reagan story has already been denied | by Miss Emma and Miss Lizzie, and was admitted by Mrs. Reagan to be false to at least six persons.
 l A member of the police force says that the names used in the story indicated are ficticious, but the matter is substantially l true.
 The following are two of the stories re- | ferred to-;
