Borden. He had been married twenty
seven years Lived on Second street
twenty years. Did not know how much
father was worth. She did not know
how much real estate her fal her owned.
Adams here objected to this testimony
as irrelevant Knowlton assumed that
everything she said was pertinent.
dams diffarq1 and rIalmQi that snCh
statements were not pertinent to the
question as to her guilt or innoce nce and
should be ruled ont of the court.
The issue is that there was probable
cause for claiming that she killed or
caused to be killed with hatchet her
father; therefore these statements are
not admissible" Overruled.
Lizzie's testimony then enumerated
some buildings, farms and other property.
She had recently decided her rgraudfather's
house back to him. lie paid 5000 for it.

ed him out of the house.
The man said: 81 thought from your
