OPINION IN THIS CITY.
The Adjournment IL Unprecedented In
Court Procedure.

The Adjournment IL Unprecedented In
Court Procedure.
The prevailing opinion among the
court house officials in this city is that
the Fall River authorities could not
bring sufficient evidence against Lizzie
Borden To convince the grand jury of her
implication in the crime. The action OF
the jury in adjourning until later date
for a further consideration of the case is
pronounced unpre -edented Ia the annals
of court history and gossip, AS far as
memory serves them. To some the theory
that the adjournment was taken To allow
the district attorney au opportunity
to gather evidence sufficient to
impicate suspected accomplice. is con-
sidered plausible. while others take no
stock in the theory. A grand jury 10 uu-
like petit jury. Persons on a jury Of the
latter class are not allowed To talk case
over, or xpress any opinion in regard TO
IL. A grand jury, however, has that
privilege, and every particle OF testimony
that comes before them Is thoroughly dis
sectsd aud discussed consequently as the
hearing nears It's close the bent of the
Jury in favor OF or against the accused is
evident To the attorney who has charge of
the case, anu he knows pretty woll before
a question is put To vote what the feel
ing is. This being the case, IL seems i'm
probable that an adjournment for the
purpose of strengthening the chain OF
evidence against a person would be taken
il the chain was already strong enough
to warrant the fudiDg of an indict-
ment.

The Republicans have worked hard
during the past two weeks 20 give the
city an efficient mayor during the coming
year and they hope that the people have
seen the points in the situation clearly
and voted for Mr.. Watson. OF course the
partisan vote of the Democrats went for
Potter.
The morning was such a fine one that
voters got out early and the various poll
ing places were visited by many citizens
before o'clock. 1t was good day all
around aud no one can make any excuse
il he stayed away from the polls. The
greatest excitement was in the Second,
Sixth and Tenth wards, where there were
hard fights.
The reports from the wards to-day
show that the vote is very small all
around and people did not take as much
interest in the election as they should
have done. In some districts the vote
was about the same as at the last city
election.
