THE BORDEN MURDER TRIAL.
No Poison Found in tho Victims Stom-
achs-Lizzie's Hatchet Exonerated.

achs-Lizzie's Hatchet Exonerated.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 3O-There were
many surprises in the Borden hearing to-
day, not the least among them being Pro-
fessor E. s. Woods testimony. 1t was
the popular belief that he would show
some traces of poison in the stomachs of the
murdered people and would produce muir
demonstrating ship carpenters ak, hav-
ing blade from five to seven inches in
length. On the contrary, he pulled out
an innocent-looking Ratchet, but firmly
told the court he could not find the slight
est trace of blood on it, nor was it allowed
that such an instrument in the hands of a
woman could inti,ct such CHASTITY wounds.
He also demolished the prussic acid and
other poisoning theories, and the crowd in
the courtroom wondered what was coming
next. Professor Wood looked for stains of
all kinds of poisons. His failure to find
them added much weight to Miss Lizzie's
strong denials that she ever was in Smiths
drug store. The government has already
established that Lizzie was in the hallway
leading into Mrs. Borden's room at 1885
O'Clock, and she has not been able yet to
prove that she was not in the house be-
tween 9:15 and Ills o'clock, when both
murders occurred. The government did
not disguise its pleasure at the positive
statements about time made by Professor
Wood, which were mistaken when the
cross-examination was concluded.
John Dintle's testimony regarding the
possibility of man going over the back
fence after having committed the MUIR
ders. without being seen, drives another
contradictory nail into the defendants
theory that sd he one escaped undecided
in that way. The most interesting testi-
mony of the day to the general public was
that given by District Attorney Knowlton
when he read Miss Borden's testimony at
the INQUEST

BUCKsHOT IN HIS HIP.

Ben Johnson CColoredl From Pierce
County, Sent TO the Infirmsry.
Ben Johnson, a young colored man. was
taken to the barracks last night about II
O'Clock with a load Of buckshot in his left
hip. He arrived on the Savannah, Florida
and Western train from Blackshesr where
be had been the victim of would be assas-
sin. johnson wanted to go to the house of
relative by the name Of Daniel johnson
on Farm street, bat he did not know the
address. The officers st the barracks con.
oluded that IL would be better to send the
wounded man to the Georgia inflrmary,
considering the late hour. and the difficulty
there would be- in finding his relatives
house.
A MORNING News reporter questioned
Johnson, about the shooting affair, but could
draw only a few disconnected facts from
him, as he appeared to be suffering intensely
from his wound. The summary of his state
ment 10 as follow: A man named Tom
Wimberly had had a difficulty with an
other man at Fort Nudge. near
has been working and johnson had ex-
pressed his opinion concerning the quarrel,
and in doing SO had offended Wimberly.
The next day while Johnson was going to
work he was attacked by Wimberly who
shot at him, the first load from his doubles
harreled gun striking johnson on the knee.
johnson states that he then sought
the protection of the foreman of the farm,
who was on his way to the place where the
men were working, but was pursued by
Wimberly who shot again. the load stricking
him in the hip. Wimberly was arrested
and taken before justice who acquitted
him. johnson says that friend of bis told
him that the man would be rearrested and
brought to justice,
There seems to be a mystery about the
affair, and future investigation may develop
an interesting case.

KILLED HER COUSIN.
A Practical Joke Cost Stephen Hine
His Life.

His Life.
Last night about $50 o'clock a colored
woman, who gave her name as Sarah Ham,
ilton, surrendered herself at the barracks.
stating that she had shot Stephen Hines,
her cousin. Upon being questioned about
the affair the following statement was made
by the woman:
81 live in Kingsville at the continuation
OF Montgomery street, about four blocks be-
yond the Belt Line railroad. / have been
annoyed lately by tramps who nave called
at my house and fearing that they would
intrude upon my premises got pistol to
protect myself. Last night man came to
my door and knocked. I inquired who was
there, and received no answer. The man
forced his way In through the door and en-
approached me, thinking that my
life was In danger that 1
fired ct him with my pistol. He turned and
ran from my house and fell when about
fifty yards from the house, Il was disoov-
cred that the mau was my cousin, Stephen
Hines, man who works for the city of Sa-
vannah. in the scavenger department. 1
immediately came to the barracks TO give
myself up and state the truth to the officers
l don't know why he acted In the manner
he did, and regret that 1 shot him. but
was afraid the man was going to murder
me-"
Parties In toe neighborhood of the shoot
ing state that Hines called at Sarah Ham,
ilton's house, and being aware that she was
afraid OF tramps. intended to play joke
upon the woman and entered the house to
brighten her.
1t was q serious joke. however, for it cost
Hines his life. He died in few minutes
after he was shot.
Future investigation may develop some
new features in the case, for Sarah Hamils
ton will have to answer before the courts

NO PRIMARY PROVIDED.

Municipal and County Of1oes Will be
Open for Free Race.
The question for having a primary cleo
ton for democratic candidates for the vari-
GUS offices in the gift OF the people is much
discussed just now. There is an evident
feeling among voters that primary would
be the very thing, but as it Is such an I'M
usual affair there are few who will advocate
il openly.
Chairman Charlton of the democr alto
executive committee, in speaking of the
matter last night, said that it remained
with the people to say whether there should
be primary or not. Since 1879 the de-
mocraoy had elected its officers IN
the usual way, and, although
he favored asprlmary he did not, as chair
man, feel authorized to call one In the
absence of a special expressed desire for it,
This being SO, the election for county and
municipal officers will be an all around one,
in which everybody can engage IL he is SO
disposed.
