The double murder of Andrew j.

did in the arrest of his youngest daugh =

inal episodes of the century.
The circumstances surrounding the as
;sassination of Borden and his wife, who
was Lizzie's stepmother, were such as to
hand, upon a motive. Borden was rich
and pious, aged seventy.six years, a man
whose probity was equal to his thrift.
He had not led a pubic life, he had no
known enemy who it could be conjec-
tured would go to the extent OF killing
him, much less his wife, and when the
mutilated bodies of the couple were dis
covered, In their own house, shortly be-
fore noon on August A, the police and
the public were utterly at a loss for a
motive, and in the intense excitement
that overwhelmed the community they
turned to ore another in helpless aston
ishment and horror.
The body of Borden was found on a
velvet sofa in the parlor of the house.
His head had been literally hacked to
pieces. There were seven long gashes
on his face and skull, some of them an
inch and half deep through the flesh
and bone. In the "spare" bed chamber
on the second floor was discovered the
body of Mrs. Borden, who was sixty
seven years old. There was at first no
sight of blood and the momentary sup
position was that heart failure had oc-

HOMESTEAD STRIKERS CLAIM TO

A RCMoR THAT THE FIRM WILL NEGOTIATE

The Homestead strikers are elated over

official Of the Carnegie Company had stated
that the company was meeting with such
poor success in running its plant with non
union men that In three weeks the firm
would be ready to come to an understand
ing with its old employees. Il was stated
that great amount of material was being
ruined every day.
It was reported in Homestead that the
Carnegie Company had placed large block
of its Homestead real estate on the market

also the work of grading and laying out
streets on this tract was stopped last week
and created much discussion as TO the proba-
BILE cause. Secretary Lovejoy denied the
report, but admitted that they expected to
sell some of the real estate in lots later on.
The nOn-union men in the Homestead
works are daily growing bolder. Wednesday
evening fully 300 OF them came out of the
works and ate supper at the various res
taurants in the town. They we're divided in
squads of about q men each, and were ac-
cOmpanied by coal and iron police. Further
than being called scabs and blacksheep by
number of small boys, they were not modest.

20 old employees returned to work Tuesday.

had given 1t as his suggestion that they
had been poisoned. Mr.. Borden told
Bridget that ne was feeling all right, and
she went up to the third floor aud washed
the windows.
According to Lizzie Borden she slept
late that morning, and did not get up
until Mrs. Borden had gone out, as she
thought, in response to the note from
the neighbor. On going down stairs
Lizzie passed through the parlor and saw
and spoke to her father. Supposing her
mother was out, she went into the yard
and entered the barn in search Of piece
of lead, from which to cut 'sinkers" for

Mr.. Borden was killed and the time
when she call Bridget Sullivan. There
was absolutely no stain Of blood on Liz
zie's hands or clothing when the officers
took possession OF the house.
The first theory of the police was that
murderer familiar with the place had
concealed himself in the house aud had
taken desperate chances for the plunder
that might be at hand This view was
relinquished when it was found that
nothing had been taken. The police
next turned their attention to the theory
that the murders were family matter
and had grown out of the efforts of one
of the girls to secure half interest in
the estate, valued at $500, 900.
At the outset there were several false
clues on which the police worked, sew
eral parties being arrested on suspicion,
but each one established an alibi.

CORBETT WHIPS SULLIVAN.

came in the 2ist round. Corbett had the

Both the men were stripped all the way up

A slight survey served to make it
equally plain that the murders were both
committed unexpectedly so far as the
victims were concerned. Borden's body
was reclining ON the lounge, the legs
were resting easily On the floor, the left
arm lay on the hip, the right was folded
across the breast, the eyes were closed
and the features were unmarked by any
expression of surprise or apprehension.
The attitude was one of repose. The
features Of Mrs. Borden were not drawn
and there was absolutely no evidence of
"a struggle.
There were, SO far as yet known, but
two persons other than Borden and his
wife on the premises when the murders
were committed. These were Bridget
sullivan, q domestic, and Lizzie Borden,
the youngest of the two daughters. The
Older daughter was visiting in another
town.
The first alarm was given by Lizzie
Borden, who ran out into the yard and
called for help. A neighbor responded
and the police were telephoned for.
When they arrived they were told the
following story;
The elder daughter had been visiting
for some time in Far Haven. At 8
O'Clock that morning Mrs. Borden re-
ceived note asking her to call on q
friend who was i'll. She left the house
and shortly after her husband followed

uu or near the premises before or after
the tragedy. and with the seeming i'm.
probability that a stranger could have
lurked iu the Borden house without de.
lection by Lzzie Borden or the servant,
that the police fell back on the theory
that the assassin was some member Of
the household who knew the premises
thoroughly.
So much having been settled to their
satisfaction the police proceeded to look
for their victim. Their attention was first
drawn to John V. Morse, cousin of
Borden, living in neighboring town.
Morse was a sort of horse trader, had
recently come from the West and was
known to have been at the Borden home
several times, and especially on the
morning of the murders. He was
shadowed and questioned by the police,
aud several OF the Borden relatives came
out and aired their suspicious in relation
to him. but he convinced the police Of
his innocence. Morse was undoubtedly
in and about the Borden house shortly
before the tragedy, but there was no
evidence of auy sort discovered against
him. and he was not arrested, although
he was under surveillance for several
days.
Lizzie Borden was suspected chiefly by
reason Of certain discrepancies between
her statements to the police as to the cir
cumstances under which the bodies OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Borden were found.
Bridget Sullivan was involved In several
of the earlier of these discrepancies, but
the police decided that she was victim
of bad memory aud abandoned all sus.

examination disclosed the fact that death
had been caused, as in the case of the

heavy sharp instrument on the face, neck
and head. In the case of both there was
found deep cut into the brain.
A circumstance, which was not at

remarkable absence of blood from the
