THE. BORDEN CASE.
Less Of Crush to Hear the Testimony
Yesterday.
iBy telegraph to the Dispatcn.I

IBy telegraph TO tho Dispatsn.I
Nrw BEDFORD, Mass, June 10.-There
was less of q rush to-day than there has
been yet, the weather being warm and
muggy. and the uncomfortable condition
of the courtroom being too little attractive
in view of past experience TO Offset the
drawing power of listening TO common
place evidence.
Miss Borden took her seat at s:55 within
the bar and looked quite fresh and rosy
and more interested in her surroundings
than has been apparent heretofore. .,
Yesterday she fingered her fan and used
il AZ expressing her thoughts and feelings.
To-day ner smelling-bottle had the promi-
nent place within the grasp OF her fingers.
and she toyed with the little glass stopper
somewhat nervously az she furtively
glanced about under the brim Of her black
lace hat.
The first witness called was Lieutenant
Edison, of Fall River, who at the time OF
the Borden tragedy was acting sergeant OF
police.
Edison testified to an Intellectual attempt
last night to search the Borden cellar Tor
the Ratchet handle sworn to by Mnliaiy.
On REORGANIZATION he declared that he
took part in the search OF the cellar after
the murder and said he saw no loose
Ratchet handle.
Mr. Robinson brought out the fact that
7 early all the Fail River ponce prominent
in this case have been promoted since the
murder except Nullaly, VINO yesterday
coptradicted Fleet.
The prisoner closely watched the exami-
nation by the Jury of the box and basket
containing lead found 10 the barn. >. -,
Officer Benjamin f. Mahoney was called
and corroborated Edison.
Officer Medley was called and TESTIFIED
TO finding the baru-door fastened. and on
entering seeing that the dust upstairs had
not been disturbed. The barn windows
and doors upstairs were closed. His OK
animation was made within ten minutes
after reaching the house. He described
his finding the handleless Ratchet covered
with coarse dust or ashes except on the
new break. lie saw no handle there,
On cross-examination Medley said Nc
Henry was engaged with him on the case.
The prisoner leaned forward and anx-
iously watched the witness as he said that
il was more than likely he consulted Mar
shal billiard about this case when Nc
Henry was present.
After @ recess OF five minutes. at 1l'0I
Officer Dennis Desmond testified TO ind
ing handleless hatchet. contending that
the dust on il was very much coarser than
any other dust in the cellar.
State Detective George L. Seaver testi-
fed 10 finding the handleless hatohet
covered with course dust. giving more
positive evidence than the other officers.
He also described the examination of the
dresses and the blood spots found IN the
house.
Seaver's examination was concluded al
1925.
On cross-examination he said he could
NOT tell within three months as TO the
time when the break in the Ratchet handle
was made.
Governor Robinson also examined the
witness carefully as to the dresses searched
and confused him about them, which
amused the prisoner greatly.
The court then adjourned until Monday

the amount for the surveys of public lands
to 100000 The amount in the bill a.
passed by the house was only $10O. .O0o The
senate committee on appropriations
adopted an amendment in the committee
increasing the amount to 500, 600. but in
the senate Senator Squire first offered an
amendment increasing the amount to
$450. 600, which is the same amount as was
appropriated for last year for this purpose.
The chairman of the committee at first
raised point OF order against Senator
SQuire's amendment, but similar points Of
order had been waived previously during
the evening. so Senator Blackburn re-
quested unanimous consent to waive the
point Of order in favor of Senator Squire's
amendment This was done. and Senator
Allison, chairman of the committee. see
ing that Senator Squire was about to move
IN amendment Immediately offered to ac-
cept his amendments. provided he would
reduce the amounts from $45O,00O to
$l0O. 600, as the latter was the amount esti-
mated for surveys this year by the land
ofhce. Senator Squire accordingly changed
the amount in his amendment to $780, 000,
and it was adopted.
