Men to Make Administration

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 26.-The
most extraordinary event since the Borden
tragedies three weeks ago, occurred to-
night just after the adjournment of the
hearing. Several reporters crowded around
the attorneys for the defence, who showed
the following clipping from the Fall River
Globe:
"wednesday afternoon reporter of the
Globe learned that Matron Reagan had
heard Lizzie Borden quarreling with
Emma, accusing the latter of giving her
away. He went to Mrs. Reagan to have
the story corroborated. The question was
put to the matron:
How is Miss Lizzie conducting herself
now?
She replied: She is very much agitated
and has been since her sister called to day.
She is wringing her hands and walking up
and down like a crazy person.
The reporter then asked what TRANSFERRED
when Emma called, and the story which
the reporter had already heard from other
sources WAS cor1oborated in detail by the
matron. Matron Reagan told this story to
other persons"
THE STORY CoRRoBoRATED.
This article stirred counsel for the de-
tense, and its correctness is denied. The
Globe representative, however, will make
affidavit that Mrs. Reagan oorroborsted
this account, and another newspaper cor
will make oath that person in
a position to know whereof he speaks told
him the same facts, and said they came d.
rectly from Mrs. Reagan. Attorney Jen-
nings was much worked up over the mat
ter, and at the earnest solicitation
of the reporter, seconded by q
of prominent citizens, the lawyer
drew up a form of affidavit, denying
that she made the statement attributed to
her, to be submitted to Mrs. Reagan for
her signature. Rev. Mr.. Buck was dele
gated to take the document to the matron,
but soon returned, saying that she refused
to sign it unless the marshal said 80. Mr..
Buck went to the marshal, who positively
refused 20 allow the matron to do anything
of the kind unless she was placed on the
stand. Mr.. Jennings, who had
Mr.. Buck into the Office, grew
very indignant and told the marshal it was
the meanest thing he had ever heard. The
thanked him and hot words passed
between the two.
PRovoKKs CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION.
There was great deal of warm talk over
these occurrences to night, and they are
being discussed in all circles. Marshal
billiard says he has been making an in
of the case to determine the
merits of the case. and has yet to examine
one officer. AS the matter now stands
Mrs. Reagan has made four denials at diff
ferent times. Two policemen and one re-
porter will make affidavit that what has
been published is substantially true. Not
one of the Misses Borden's friends, how
ever, believe that the quarrel occurred.
FIXING THE TIME.
The first witness this afternoon was
Joseph Shortsleves, a carpenter, who had
worked for Mr.. Borden. He was at the
store No. 90 South Main street, but was
not working, when Mr.. Borden stopped
there on his way home on the morning of
the murder. He fixed the time at 1920 as
nearly as possible. Joseph Mather, who
at the store, was questioned as to the time.
Miss Lizzie Borden appeared to be using
more than ordinary effort to maintain her
com posure, and it was evident that the
strain is beginning to tell upon her won
derful nerve. As she caught Mrs. Holmes
eye her face frightened in an instant.
MoRsE's TESTIMONY.
John V. Morse was next called to the
stand. He testified: Am fifty-nine years
old, and my residence is here. Lived in
Dartmouth two years and in Hastings,
Iowa, twenty years. Am brother of Mr..
Borden's first wife, who died in 1868. Had
been in the Borden house several times the
past year. Went to the house the day be-
fore the tragedy. Dined with Mrs. Borden
and went over to Swansea to Mr.. Borden'e
farm to see some cattle I had purchased
from him. Mr.. Borden was in poor health
at the time, and said that all in the house
had been sick the night before, probably
from poison contained in bakers bread
