Her Favor - Feeling Against Inspector
Hanscom and Counsellor Jennings.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 11.-This
morning it cannot be said that the police
have any substantial clew to the muir
Theories are plentiful, but reliable evil
dence is wanting.
Last evening State Detective Seaver
handed the following bulletin to the
represent atives: ''The inquest was con-
tinued at 10 o'clock to-day. The wit
nesses examined were Miss Lizzie Borden
John Y. Morse, Miss Emma L. Borden,
DR.. S. w. Bowen, Adelaide B. Churchill
and Hiram e. Harrington. Adjourned
until 10 a. m. Thursday. Nothing devel-
oped for publication"
This was all that was given out after
examinations lasting four and a half
hours. The principal witness was Miss
Lizzie Borden. The change in Miss Bor-
denis appearance, after her examination,
is the chief topic of conversation at the
police station. Whatever the police may
think of the strength of their clews, it
is certain that Miss Borden's many friends
believe her innocent.
Prof w God, the analyst, appeared at
the station early, in company with Medi-
cal Examiner Dolan. Shortly after the
inquest was resumed the two men were
admitted and were behind closed doors
about twenty minutes. When they reap
peared they were followed by a couple of
policemen carrying trunk contain
ing bloody clothing and other evidences
of the crime
When Mr.. Morse came from his exam
nation he was as calm and collected as
he has been since suspicion has been di-
rected toward him. Miss Emma Borden's
manner has been less disturbed than any
of the witnesses.
DR.. Bowen told straightforward story,
covering the time since he was called to
the Borden house, a few days before the
murder. He incidentally gave some tes-
timony which startled the authorities.
The nature of this would not be given for
publication, but it is learned to-day that
another examination of the dead bodies
will probably be made at Oak Grove
Cemetery.
Hiram Harrington could offer very lit
tie testimony regarding the circumstances
surrounding the murder.
1t is now generally admitted that a
great deal of hope is being placed in the
accuracy of analysis and the examination
of the blood on the clothing. A few days
ago this was not the case, the poison
theory and other clues being talked of as
| of secondary Importance.
Bridget Sullivan, the servant girl, die
not leave her friends Tuesday. An Officer
| who visited her found her in much hap
| pier and more contented frame of minC
| than Tuesday when she was FRUSTRATED
| with nervousness and grief. She talks
in the most affectionate manner of the
| deceased woman, the stepmother of thu
| girls.
There is a strong feeling current ir
| police circles against inspector Hanscom
| and Mr. Jennings, counsel for the family
1t is alleged that the former is endeavor
ing to build back fires to destroy the
theories of the police and that they are in
| spring clues that will tend to blind tn,
| actual facts preceding and succeeding the
| murders.
| The police have again become active il
| the search after evidence and one or two
| details in regard to the missing letter
| said to have been received by Mrs Border
are again being sought by the officials.
District Attorney Knowlton is working
under the direction of Attorney Genera
| Pillsbury and it is said that the form o
complaint and possibly all warrants will
be submitted to him.
Much credit is being given in police
| circles to the work of DIR. Dolan, who ha
| pract ically neglected renumerative bust
ness since he was called on to act Off
cially. The only complaint against hin
is that his tongue will not wag to othe
than official inquisitors
Miss Borden was asked some nerve
shaking questions and when she came
from the police station her face was tea
stained and she was very much upset
| There was great difference between he1
appearance before and after tn
examination. The servant girl is KEEP
under the eye of a policeman at hel
brother-in-law's house and she was not
allowed to go free as was intimated las
night by Detective Scaver.
