FALL RIVER, Mass. Aug. TN looking
over the Borden mansion for possible
| clues to the double murder one place was
left unsearched yesterday by the police,
but tonight the officers said there was not
the slightest danger of any change in the
surroundings by leaving the matter over.
| Tonight or tomorrow this particular
spot will be searched. To-day City Mar
shall billiard submitted to long interview
with the Associated Press reporter. Of
the spots of blood said to have been found
on the axe in the custody of the police last
| night he said:
II do not know whether these spots
were blood or iron rust. They were of a
| character that might be taken for either,
but until the Boston chemists pass an
opinion it would be folly for me to speak
AS I told you yesterday, we have four
axes IN our possession. Two are
such axes as farmers use, one
is an ordinary chopping axe, the other
is what call shingle axe. There may
be spots of blood on either or all of these,
but to- night I cannot say there is the
slightest evidence on any of them. There
is nothing in the Westport clue which you
reported yesterday. 1 sent men to chase
To but off
doubtful point had been cleared up de-
| cided there was no man travelling to New
Bedford from this city under Suspicious
circumstances. Yesterday there was re-
port current that men had been seen escap-
ing over a fence back of the Borden home
stead. That may have been the case, but
the closest scrutiny of my officers has fail
ed to disclose any evidence to show that a
man sat on the barbed wire fence picking
pears at II o'clock Thursday morning
All yards in the vicinity have been
searched most carefully, but no
trace of unusual occurrence was discov-
cred. I have three or four wires out now
and may find something later on. At this
| moment can say there is nothing to con-
meet any members of the family with the
murder. We can reach a certain point,
but thenceforward things will not match
and we cannot make them. A great deal
| has been said about the fact that 10 ar
| rests have been made up to this time
Those persons in the house have practical
| ly been under arrest the past few days. If
1 were asked to give candid opinion why
arrests should not be made I would
say that with the present evil
dence nobody could possibly be
| held. 1t would be folly for US to place this
family behind bars when 80 many outside
clues are yet to be looked up. We had Mr..
Jennings with us during the search, as the
result of my own request. He is the
acknowledged counsel for the family. We
believed he should be about while our in
vestigations were being made. Mr.. Morse
and all the family went about the house as
usual while we were looking around. If
you ask me if 1 have anything really new
in this whole case I would say no, but of
course you know have many things in
hand. Anything may happen at any mo-
ment."
