to Thursday-How the Accused Woman
Was Brought to the City-still Perfect
" Self Possessed.
FALL RIVER, August 22-Miss Lizzie
A. Borden arrived here from Taunton
Jail at 1856 o'clock this morning. She
sat in the middle Of a regular passenger
car on the way from Taunton and at
tracted no attention until she was half
way over to this city.
1t was then noised about the car that
she was the girl who is charged with
killing her father and is suspected Of
killing her mother. Some of the passen-
gers passed and repassed her seat, but
she sat with her face turned towards the
window and her blue veil was drawn
closely over her eyes. She did not show
the slightest trace of suffering and did
not in any degree mind the attention she
was attracting. She stepped from the
train in this city assisted by Rev. Mr..
Buck and was escorted to closed car
riage by Detective Seaver and City Mar
shall Hilliard.
The carriage was driven by circuit
GUS route to the Central station, where
Miss Borden was handed over to Matron
Russell and taken to the matron's room.
Her sister, Mrs. Brigham, Attorney Jen-
nings and Attorney Adams were in wait
ing to receive her and they talked to-
gether some time. There were not
great crowds around her, but several
policemen were on duty
To Hold Curious People Back
from the platform and police station
door.
The court room was crowded inside
the rail at o'clock. Back Of the rail,
where strange crowd of rough faces is
usually seen, there were ladies in plenty,
and all were arrayed in fine clothes.
Among the many who were present were
Aldermen Beatie, Brady and McLaugh
lin, Rev. John Brown, Michael Burnham,
P. w. Lyman, Drs. Leary, VIM.
Collins of Haverhill, S. I. German, Judge
Henry Carter of Haverhill, Lawyer Bragg,
fee, Mayor Coughlin, Benjamin Cook.
There were 80 newspaper workers with
in the rail. Three of them were ladies
Among the men were five artists, who
were busily engaged in sketching every
thing from the CARPET to the ceiling.
Bridget Sullivan and Mrs. Russell were
on the scene early. District Attorney
Knowltoaiappeared at 1.54 o'clock and
went into the Judges private room. The
Judge followed shortly afterward. Brid-
get Sullivan has grown very pale since
the day she was first seen by the Associ-
| ated Press reporter. She was dressed in a
suit of goblin blue trimmed with white
lace, and she remained for some time in
conversation with Lawyer James L. Cum
mings.
The heat in the room began to make
itself felt early in the proceedings and
gave evidence of
Weary Hours to Come.
City Marshal Hilliard was resplendent
in a handsome new uniform with fine
shoulder straps. DR.. Dolan, DR.. Bowen,
Superintendent Connell, Justice Lovett
and crowds of female witnesses began to
file in until standing room was hardly
obtainable.
The City Hall bell had hardly ceased
ringing the hour of two when Judge
| Blaisdell entered from his room and went
| up to the bench. AS he walked along
each of the 800 persons in the room arose
and remained standing until he bowed.
John V. Morse entered the room after
| the Judge was seated, and ex-Congress-
man Robert T. Davis followed him close
| ly. Attorney Phillips was the first law
yer to appear at the table set apart for
| the defence. City Physician Kelley and
! his wife were shown to seats occupied by
other witnesses, seats usually occupied by
| prisoners. As one looked around the
court room, filled as it never was filled
before, it was noticed that large pro-
! portion of the guests present were women.
Some were old, some were young, but all
were curious to the last degree. They
strained their necks and worked nervous
| ly as each person connected with the case
appeared.
| Mrs. DR.. Bowen and Mrs. Churchill sat
| in the witnesses seats and both were cry
| ing bitterly. Attorney Jennings appeared
| at 2.18, and he was scowling as though
! indignant at the curious crowd that bent
their eyes toward him.
At ten minutes of three District Attor-
| ney Knowlton arose and said: IF it
please your Honor, there are some things
used as evidence in this case which are
| wanting at the present time. They are
| the clothing and various parts of the fur
nishings of the rooms where the murders
occurred. They are now in the hands of
| experts and they will not be here tomor-
row or next day, nor probably the day
| following. Consequently we have
agreed with the defendant council to ad-
journ this hearing until Thursday if it
meets your Honor's approval
| An adjournment until Thursday was
| then ordered.
| Miss Borden did not make her appear
ance in the court room, a fact which
greatly disannointed the many who mad
