den. The change in Miss Bordens appear
ance after her examination was the chief
topic Of conversation at the police station.
Whatever the police may think of the
strength Of their clews, it is certain that the
opinions of Miss Borden's many friends are
entirely of her innocence. This feeling is
gaining more adherents every hour

been since suspicion has been directed to-
ward him. Mss Emma Bordens manner

covering Tie time since he was called TO the
Borden house, a few days before the muir
der B6 incidentally gave some evidence
(which startled the authorities. The nature
Of this would not be given for publication,
but it was learned that today another ex-
animation of the dead bodies viii probably

Hiram Harrington could offer very little
testimony regarding the circumstances sur

Miss Lizzie Borden knew that she wa
