FALL RIVER, Aug. 22-Marshal Hilliard
sent an officer yesterday afternoon to
Assonet to look up George w. Hathaway,
who was reported to have made certain
statements to Capt. Orrick Smalley Of
New Bedford in which he set forth re-
marks alleged to have been made to him
hathaway by the late Andrew j. Borden
in regard To the way in which his daugh-
ter Lizzie had treated him.
Officer Albert +. Chace drove fourteen
miles and finally found Captain Hatha-
way who denied.
The report in to to: He then detailed
the talk which he had with Capt Smalley
at Craigville on Aug 5, from which it APP
peared that after Capt. Smalley had ex-
pressed his disbelief in Lizzie's guilt and
Capt. Hathaway had expressed his agree
ment with him, he (Hathaway) added
that, however, such a case had been
known as a daughter numbering her own
father in Marshneld. Aud the conversa-
tion in this respect came no nearer Fall
River than Marshfield.
IL any flowers, or other tokens Of affec-
tion, have been placed on the graves OK the
Bordens, il is not known to any one but
the bearer. Whether or not the absence
of such tokens Is significant may, perhaps,
be determined by those present familiar
with the Borden character who say that

of the customary signs of grief, either by
tears, floral decorations or sombre dress

sence of Grape from the front door on

sisters possess that tenderness which COM
monty characteriZes good women, as has
been claimed by their champions through
the local press, they have neither of them

What means the move which John V.
Morse is making In searching for tene
ment in another part of the city for EN-
ma and himself to live in Ii Is reported
that Mr.. Morse has an idea that Lizzie
will be at once acquitted and thinks to ell
gage house for all three to occupy.
A gentleman, who casually asked him
how long he might stay at Fall River,
says he replied that he might stay as long
as ten years. Mr.. Morse as we have been
told, was about to start for Illinois again
when he came hither from Dartmouth OH
the 4th Of August.
The mail which reaches the Borden
house has contained many inquiries and
suggestions and several letters of condo
lence and sympathy with the girls,
among which latter are letters from the
Rev. Eldridge Mix, ID. D., of Wellesley
and the Rev. Michael Burnham, ID. d.,
of Springfield, both former pastors of the
Congregational Church which the old
people used to attend, and the pulpit of
which was supplied to day by DR.. Burn

RATHER MYSTERIOUS.
Edwin Brynes Took Rochelle Salts
and Died.
He LIVED ONLY A FEW MOMENTS.
The Deceased Had Been Intoxicated, hut
Was Endcavoring to Become Sober
Druggist Reeves says He Did Not Sell
any Rochelle Salts to Brynes.

A case of poisoning occurred on Mt.
Pleasant last night that is somewhat
mysterious, inasmuch as there are state
ments made by parties concerned therein
which conflict.
Nevertheless Edwin Byrnes. the victim,
now lies dead at his residence, No. &c
Lisbon street, from the effects of what
was supposed to be Rochelle salts, pur-
chased, according to the victims oldest
sons statement, at j. q. Reeves drug
store, corner of Gladstone and Academy
avenue, Mount Pleasant.
Byrnes WAS about IL years of age, and
for some time past had been out of en-
ployment, having until recently worked
Tor the Western Union and Postal Tele
graph Companies rs lineman.
During this time, it is stated that he
had bsen drinking hard until about a
week ago when he resolved TO quit and
had taken steps to get the stimulants out
OF his system.
About $50 last night as the story goes,
he went to the above pharmacy and their
purchased, he affirmed, five cents worth
Of Rochelle salts of the proprietor. Ii
was shortly before o'clock when he
reached home again.
He did not take the laxative imme-
diately. but apparently in good spirits,
of the children, and then proceeded to
mix up the dose prior to administering i.
to himself,
He drank it and almost instantly was
seized with violent burning In the
stomach and became somewhat convul-
sive, although he retained consciousness.
The oldest son, about 25 years of age, ran
to his assistance, and he was given air
aud wat er. but TO no avail.
This happened on the steps outside the
door. He was taken into the house. and
IN fifteen minutes after taking the drug,
was u corpse. DIR. Stone was summoned
as soon as the danger was realized, and
DIR. Tremaine also later, but neither ar
rived in time TO be of service.
Medical Examiner keefe was called and
DIR. Palmer followed short time after.
Nothing definite could be learned, as no
autopsy was held.
The son was seen this morning and the
above Is substantially the story he told
was the last thing that would enter his
fathers mind.
He says that he was a good man except
that he drank occasionally and in his bus
mess was very successful. The last
words he said were that he had been poi
soned.
He was questioned but there was moth
ing in his answers that would indicate
anything premeditated.
Druggist Reeves was also seen, and he
states that he does not think the man
was in the store at all tnat he could not
have sold the drug, as he had disposed OF
all he had In the morning, and conse-
quently was out of it.
The autopsy which will be held this af-
ternoon at o'clock may develop some
new facts in the case.

AN UNPROvEN ASSERTION.
Somebody Said that Dalton Was
Only to be Arrested by Parker.

Early yesterday morning Chief Of Police
Child sent out circulars to the several sta
tions in the city calling for statements
from every member Of the force, as to
whether or not any one of the mem-
bers made statements referring to the ar
rest of Dalton. as claimed by q local pub
lication.
The claim made was that the officers
had received instructions from Detective
Parker not TO arrest Dalton IL he should
be seen, but to notify him at once, and to
allow him and him alone to make the
arrest. The chief very rightly became
incensed at such allegations and caused
this circular to be issued.
Eacn officer subscribed his signaeure to
the document aud all answered In the
negative, denying that any such state-
ments mad been made bv them. With
the exception of those officers on fur

PREPARATIONS FOR THE HEARING.
The Second Act in the Borden Tragedy is
beginning.

Beginning.
FALL RIVER, Aug. 22.-The prosecution
in the Borden murder case will open its
case at 9 o'clock this afternoon in the
Second District Court room before Judge
Blaisdell
There has been considerable activity
about Police headquarters to-day, and
officers have been about the city hunting
up witnesses and notifying them to be on
hand to- morrow.
Lawyer Jennings, counsel for Miss
Lizzie Borden, has retained Melvin q.
Adams of Boston as his associate in the
conduct OF the defence, and 1t is proba BILE
that no great headway will be made in
the way of presenting evidence to-day, as
it is Drophesied that the defence will
again take up the issue raised by Mr..
Jennings at the time the defendant was
arraigned. over the question of Judge
Blaisdell sitting at this hearing and n
legal sparring match will, as conse-
quence, follow.
Miss Borden will arrive here from Taun-
ton at lao and will be brought direct ia
the court room. She will remain in the
building until the hearing is ended and
she listens to the decision on the evidence
for and against her. Miss Borden will prob
ably sleep in the matron's room. Mrs. Rea.
gan aud Mrs. Russell will look after her
comfort as Mrs. Wright has done during
the past nine days.
1t Is generally conceded that the hear
ing will last during the greater part OF
the week. The government will probably
put DIR. Dolan on the stand as its first
witness, although New wsdealer Cunning
ham; who first1 notified the police of the
crime, may be asked To testify at the out
set, in order that the time of the commits
sion OF the crimes can be fully deter
mined.
1t is expected that the direct examina-
tion OF DIR. Dolan will occupy the whole
Of the afternoon, aud as he is regarded as
the most important witness for the gov
ernment, hi : cross-examination by Attor-
ney Jennings will take up nearly all day
Tuesday.
Bridget Sullivan has been most success
full la keeping her own counsel since the
inquest. She has not said anything inn
portant to reporters. Her remark that
"she didn't wonder that the police ar
rested Lizzie Borden" she did not mean

had said her conversation apparatus re-
fused to move. IL was rumored To day
that she had told friend that she had
heard Mrs. Borden scream on the morn
ing of the murder, but The truth OF this
startling statement could not be traced
TO any reliable source. Her examination
will be a very long one.
The defence has so far summoned but
three government witnesses, Chief Hill
lard, DIR. Dolan and DIR. Bowen. Others

summoned "a the testimony OF the Tow

The question OF time and the probable

expects TO show revenge asa motive. The
governments case is about all prepared,

o'clock this morning TO conduct Miss
Borden to Fall River. and she was at

she wished to appear in court. and the
Rev. Mr.. Buck spent the hour previous to

Lizzie.
About 10 o'clock the three men and
Miss Lizzie entered carriage and drove
to the ceptral station mt Taunton and
timed tkG3 progress so well that when
they arrived there at 1925, the train they
desired to take was already in.
Lizzie was the same carefully gowned
young woman she has always been. Her
brown hair was dressed in roll on the
back OF her head and surmounted by a
dainty blue bonnet, trimmed simply with
ribbon and 5rall flowers of the same hue.
A plain blue serge gown with train,
and with close fitting bodice of this sea-
