Miss Lizzie Borden came In leaning on
the arm of the Rev. 4. A. Buck.
Lizzie looked rather pale, but her fea-

she showed no signs of the great mental

"No. Lizzie; / only told Mr.. Jennings
what he ought to know for your defence. "
"That is false You have given me
will not give in one inch, never I! never
THAT is all care to say to YOU"
In a voice embittered with suppressed
passion, Lizzie A. Borden yesterday after
noon, in the presence OF her attendant,
Mrs. Reagan, the police matron. is said
to have thus addressed her nearest and
dearest relative, as with a violent wave
of the hand she turned her back upon her
sister, with whom the conversation just
narrated had taken place.
With tears In her eyes and voice choked
with sobs, Miss Emma left the room, and
tnen the accused, overcome with emotion,
fell PROSTATE on her bed.
The circumstances that led up to this
conversation between the Misses Borde n
are alleged to be as follows:
Mr., Jennings has been frequent caller
at the -ntral station, and his interviews
with Miss Lizzie have not apparently
been so satisfactory as he desired.
Wishing, as counsel for Miss Borden,
to be possessed of information that he did
not have, IL Is understood that he called
ut the Borden house and had u talk with
Miss Emma.
sity OF his becoming at once acquainted
with such facts in the case of which she
might have n direct or indirect knowl-
edge, as had not yet come to bis ears.
1t is understood that Miss Emma Bor-
den then told Mr.. Jennings all that she
knew or surmised rs TO the Borden muir
der
Becoming possessed of this informa-
ton, Mr.. Jennings called at the Central
Station and asked to see the prisoner
lie was shown at once TO the ma ron's
room, and was allowed the attorneys
customary privilege of seeing his client
alone.
Upon his entrance Mrs. Reagan imme-
diately departed, and for a considerable
length Of time the two were together.
Then Mr.. Jennings came out, and the
attendant returned to her charge, whom
she found more nervous and troubled
than previously.
In a short time Miss Emma was an

made the compromising remarks above

departure Rev. Mr.. Judd presented him

voice, aud was very positive and earnest
I'm his manner. Mrs. Reagan was i'm the
room, but did not hear much that was
said.
Then came City Missionary Buck, who
also appeared TO be In disturbed frame
OF mind. Mrs. George Brigham also put
in an appearance, and after her came
John V. Morse.
Whether their calls were the result OF
request from Miss Emma and her
friends or whether their presence so close
ly following the outbreak between the
sisters was coincidence can only be con-
jectured. The story has made sensation
and caused the feeling that Lizzie will
break down.

tive In detective work, and Is said to have
been employed TO much advantage by the
government.
That the services of secret workers
from ont of town have been secured and
utilized successfully during the past ten
days Is admitted. What Mr. McHenry
has obtained in the way OF evidence is
said indirectly TO relate TO RHODE IsI-
AND senator, from whom 1t Is understood
eviden CO against Miss Borden has been
Forthcoming. The nature of this infor-
nation can be only surmised. 1t is
thought Miss Borden may have sought
legal advice in PROVIDENCE as to property
interests and the laws governing inheri-
lance and the making of Wills.
1t Is understood among the subordin-
ates in the police department that Bridget
has said she saw Lizzie in the cellar of the
Borden house at the place were the axes
were kept just prior to the murders.
There are other important things that
she will tell about, notably the girls re-
lations with the old folks. She tells a
story OF domestic discord among the Bor
dens, the like of which has not been
printed in the newspapers as yet

in the rear with dingy windows covered
with webs and dust. Could they but
speak, the weary public would soon be at
rest, and the case would be en- ded.
The night before the trial was spent in
a state of nervous anxiety by the accused.
Her stolid indifference Is giving way un-
der the fearful strain put upon her, and
it is doubtful IL she will be able to resist
the crucial tests to which she may be
subjected during the next few days.
1t would require n mind OF extraordi
nary strength To hold up SO long as she
has, and it will give color to any plea of
insanity IL she continues to Withstand the
evidence which the government is sup
posed to have IN its possession.
