FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 9.-The follow

teotiye SesSer: u
The inquest into the Borden murder BE-
fore Judge Blaisdell began at 10 O'Clock b
m. District Attorney Knowlton conducted
the examination. Bridget Sullivan and
nMiss Lizzie Borden were questioned sep
arately. The examination of neither wa
concluded. This inquest adjourned until
| 10 a. m. Wednesday. Nothing was de-
veloped for publication. The meagre re-
port was all that was given out officially
regarding the four days proceedings of the
inquiry. After adjournment Bridget Sui
Ivan was taken from the Central station.
She was accompanied by Officer Doherty
| and went to No. 80 Division street, where
| she has relatives. She has hardly eaten OF
slept at the Borden house since the tragedy.
District Attorney Knowlton told her that he
regarded her as the most important wit
ness in the case and promised to allow her
to go on her own recognizanGe until the
trial, if one takes place, provided she would
not 20 away without first acquainting the
city marshal. While the principal parties
at the inquest were at dinner Bridget, or
s'Maggie'' as she was called at home, was
placed in charge of Matron Russell. whose
| lips are sealed. The girl told the whole of
| her story to Mrs. Russell, often saying she
could not tell all before, as there were SO
| many men about. At 2 o'clock while
| Bridget was walking upstairs to the
| court room she was crying bitterly.
Miss Borden was not examined very
closely. owing to two causes. The first
was the advent of Attorney General Pills
bury, who went upstairs at the Mellen
house without registering. He sent for
Mr.. Knowlton, who, with Marshal billiard,
| Medical Examiner Dolan and others. went
to the Mellen house, where they remained
in consultation with Mr.. Plllsbury for
| about half an hour. About 4:30 p. m.
Professor W God, the Harvard chemist, DR..
Mackenzie of this city and DR.. Dolan
| Joined the other officials at the Mellen
house. Attorney General Pillsbury started
for Boston on the 4;50 train. Before
going he declined to say anything about
| the murder case. After his departure
| there was more secrecy than ever
| among the authorities. The analysis
of the stomachs has not been completed
yet and probably will not be for some
| days longer. It is said DR.. Wood was
| called here to assist, if possible, in giving
| some information which would justify tlae
| officials in serving warrants. At the pres
| emit time the officers are in great doubt
about how to proceed. An officer who il
| very close to the head of the department
said he had no doubt of the ultimate arrest
| of some one in the family, but which one
| journment of the inquest Miss Borden was
| taken in a carriage to her home on Second
street, accompanied by Mrs. Bingham and
City Marshal Hilliard The servant girl
| will not be required to sleep in
the Borden house again. Her nerves are
| greatly shattered. Tonight at 7:30 a
rumor gained credence at the station that
| bloody axe had been found at South
| Somerset in q house occupied by some
Portuguese farm hands. Policemen were
| sent to investigate the case and have not
returned. The members of the family are
saying hard things concerning relations
between the Misses Borden and their STEP
mother. One woman has found much
| fault because the casket in which Mrs.
Borden's body was encased was 30 plain
also because one of the young women wore
| flowers in her hat at the funeral.
Hiram Harrington, Mr.. Borden'a
brotherin ls., whose nb, stEoIg state tate
about as surprising as those sent out from
Hartford denied o-night to tho Associated
| ing against the two girls. At various
times, he says, he befriended them and he
had never in any way quarreled with them.
| He and Mr.. Borden had frequent differ
ences of opinion and latterly they had moi
been on speaking terms. On the night pre-
ceding the funeral he and Miss Lizzie had
short conversation, which WAS moi
friendly on the young woman's part.
HIS FACE LOOKED CHASTITY.
To-night's News says: CDR. Handy fur
nishes q very suggestive hint as to thu
probable murderer of Mr.. and Mrs. Dor
den. He says that about 10 a. m. on Thurs
day he saw a man standing on Second
street, little south of the Borden resi-
dence, tfe man having such terribl.
| unusual appearance as to attract his
attention. The stranger was CHASTITY whit
and seemed very much agitated. Hi
eyes were particularly wild. He wore
small black moustache. The doctor coult
certainly identify the man he observed
as he was 30 struck by his des
perate looking character that he turne'
around his carriage and gazed q
J him for a considerable time. Lat
this evening the police began to put som
credence in this rumor, as it was said tina
, man answering this description was see
by Officer Hyde about the same time. OF
fcers Doherty and Harrington ran dow
the Beiant story. It appears that on
Thomas P. Walker, tailor workin
for2 John Carey, owed Mr.. Borde
a months rent for q house o
Fourth street. When, asked to pay Wake
used threatening language. On the day c
the murder Walker worked steadily fror
| in the morning until 12 and could nc
possibly have been near the Borden home
stead"
