quate explanation from her ss to how she
spent that time. Then she eaid she brought
the slippers for her father and he put
them on, but the pictures show the boots

NOT HER MOTHER
She first says, and 1t is her own volun-
tary statement to Officer Fleet, when he
asked her If she would give him an idea of
how her mother was killed, and she says
at once: "She is not my mother. She Ia
my step mother"
Take the statements of her bosom
friend, Miss Russell, that she went ont to

she had told others she went to get some
irons and again lead sinkefs. And she

five minutes. gave her all the chance
In the world and asked her to account for
that time, and she said she went up there
and ate pears; there, of all places in the
world, and "she did not feel well and
could not eat any breakfast"
On the hottest part of the day to the
hottest place on the premises, she had
gone to get sinkers. I have seen all sorts
of alibis, but THE is
THE MOST LABoRED ONE
ever heard of. There was 30 little In
common between the mother and the
daughter that it was Bridget, the mother
told about her movements; but the mother
told Lizzie, she faid, about the note.
When did 1t comet How did it comet 1t
could not have come by the front door
because that was fastened, nor by the
back door because Bridget was on guard
and Bridget never had heard of it.
NO NOTE.
There was no note, for don't you believe
that whoever wrote that note would have
come forward in the interests of humanity
This note business was all part of the
scheme. The commonwealth has never
eaid theee people were not poisoned by
prussia acid, but It does not say that was
the first proposition, because there was q
suggestion of q motive in Lizzie going to
the drug store; prussia acid could not be
had, laws are strictly against it, and she
gave 1t up, but not until recognized, not
by her tremulous voice, but by her presence
and her voice. Prussic acid out of the
way, how was the scheme to be carried
outs By pistols No, because that would
make too much noise, and 30 the steel was
used. The fact is apparent that this
woman was attempting to try another
means to do this deed.
REMARKABLE DEMEANoR.
The demeanor of the defendant is re-
markable; while every body is filed with
anguish, she has never yet expressed emo
ton. 1t takes away from the horror we
have of bringing our minds to think this
thing has been done by her. I have never
heard but one expression from her yet
She was annoyed that Fleet should ask her
questions about the fsct of the murder.
We have never yet found the wrap that
covered Lizzie and took the blood from
those bodies; we have not yet found the
Ratchet which did the work. This thing
was conceived in the head of cool
headed, deliberate woman. If your honor
should yield to the eloquent arguments of
my brothers and allow this woman to go
that would not be the end to this matter.
The reward that attends duty done is what
should be considered.
STERN DUTY.
Judge Blaisdell said that all sympathy
should be laid aside, and duty, stern duty,
requires upon this evidence but one thing
to be done. Surprising that q man was
seen in the chamber of Mrs. Borden, the
guest chamber of death, and that he was
in the room of the father when death
came; suppose that man should tell as
many different stories as Lizzie has done
the way would be plain.
PROBABLY GUILTY.
81 find that she is probably guilty"
She was then ordered remanded to tine
county Jail at Taunton for trial at the
November term.
All the witnesses were ordered to rec
ognize for the November term of the
court.
