Miss Borden is the most intimate friend
Of Lizzie. She had had conversation
with Lizzie on the return OF both from a

IL z too remote.

question was argued before the judges.

by this conversation fixed hostile feel
ing ,xisting between Lizzie and Miss
Hannah.
At that time she said that she regretted
that sue was about To return home be-
cause she had such a pleasant time, aud
she did not want TO return To an unhappy
home.
Mr.. Moody said ordinarily such re-
mark would have no signiicance put
after a long trip from home 1T Is to be
expected that there would tie natural
desire To get home.
Mr.. Robinson objected as the testi-
mony Was TOO remote, aud he cited the
case OF Abbott VS. state where similar
testimony had been excluded even though
IL had described an act or vloleuce on Alb.
bott's part.
+ The court decided that as the evidences
was 80 ambiguous, referring neither TO
the father or mother or to both together,
that 1t was not competent and would be
excluded,

Chagnon house aud could see the whole
