EVIDENCE In TIE BORDEN CASE.
State Detective Seaver Badly Confused on
Cross Examination by Ex-Gov. Robinson.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass. June 1o.--The evil
denoe in the Borden trial to-day was chiefly
corroborative of prior testimony. and not
of great value to either side. Bat one wit
ness was badly confused on cross-examina-
tion, and others admitted several facts of
some Importance to the defense. The first
thing was the testimony of officers Edison
and Mahoney that they tried last night to
search the Borden cellar for the hatchet
handle. about which Mullsly testified yes
terday. but were not allowed to enter.
Edison was carefully crOss-examIncd
by Mr. Robinson as to the search
night after the murders. and stated that
he saw handleless hatchet in Medley's
hands. Lead found in the barn was shown
to the jury by Mr.. Robinson. Witness
testified that detective McHenry was
about the premises shortly after the
murder aud at police heedq quarters q num-
ber of times afterwards. but would not
connect him with the police force. Mr..
Robinson also showed by this witness that
most OF the officers prominently connected
with the case. except Mullaly, were pro-
NOTED since the murders. 1t also appeared
that witness and other officers got over the
barbed- wire fence in the rear OF the prem
ises without dltfic Guilty.
Inspector Medley then testified that he
reached the house at 10 o'clock on the
day of the murders. and within ten min
utes opened the barn door. which was
fastened with q staple and iron pin. He
went upstairs and found the upper floor
covered with dust. on which hands and
feet made distinct impressions. Both win
dOws and the upper door were shut. He
also described his finding of the famous
handleless hatchet. It was covered with
dust. except new break on which there
was no dust. On crOss-examina he de-
scribed particularly tho circumstances and
the way In which he wrapped up the
hatchet when he took lt away. He saw no
loose handle. Detective McHenry was
there. and Medley supposed he was en-.
gagged in the search.
Officer Dennis Desmond, jr, testified as
to the search in the house and the failure
to find dresses covered with paint or blood.
He also eald he saw the handleless hatchet,
but no loose handle and contradicted Med
ley. claiming to have wrapped up the blade
himself.
State Detective George Seaver then testi.
fed to an examination of the handleless
10 its appearance and of the dust on il.
of the dresses in the house. He also de-
scribed the character and location of the
blood spots found in the rooms w here the
murders were committed. On oross-exam-
inatIon he became badly confused. and was
unable to tell the age of the break on the
hatchet handle or about the character of
the dresses which he examined.
The court, at L O'Clock, adjourned till
Monday.

AN APPEAL TO BE TAKEN.

Attorneys for Parker and McAfee VIII Pre-
sent the Case TO the Supreme Court
Joseph Healing. of counsel for defense,
was seen last night and asked if there
would be an appeal taken to the Supreme
Court and attempt made 20 have the case
reversed. He said:
II was OF the opinion during the trial
that there was not enough evidence upon
which TO convict these men of murder in
the first degree and warrant the death pen-
atty. i am still of the opinion that there
was not sufficient evidence introduced
before the jury TO justify them
in returning the verdict they did.
We will take the case to the Supreme Court
and present 20 that court the points raised
upon our objections made during the Trial

THEY WERE GUILTY BEYOND DOUBT.


Hattie Mitchell Knew More OF the Murder
Than She Told the Stand.
Among the witnesses for the prosecution
was Hattie Mitchell. q colored girl en-
ployed by family on North Tennessee
street. She testified that on the night OF
the murder she passed mp North Mississippi
street on the way to her mothers home.
At the corner of Second street she passed
Ed McAfee. at $50 o'clock, and exchanged
greetings with him. Returning half an
hour or more later. she saw two colored
men on the corner of Mississippi and Third
streets. opposite the Eyster store. It was
her i'm preston at the time that they were
John Parker and Ed McAfee. They en-.
tered the store and the shot was fred feV
minutes later.
From the moment of the arrest Of the
men Hattie Mitchell was subjected 20
threats of dire consequences if she testi-
fed in the case. and she has never left the
house after dark without an escort since
her appearance in the Police Court. Hex
testimony was given with great reluctance.
and 1t was evident that she told no more
than she was compelled 20 tell in direct
answer to the questions Of counsel
Onyesterday. after the case had gone to the
jury. the girl admitted to her employer that
she had seen the accused men enter the drug
store. heard the shot fired and saw them run
away, recognizing them both times. She
said: ION the way mp home i saw
and spoke to Ed McAfee at the corner
of Second and Mississippi streets. / was
afraid of him, because some time ago he
had been arrested and my brother Jim was
ened to harm Jim and mem bers of our fsmi-
ly. i did not like to 60 home again alone
for fear of meeting him, SO went out from
my mothers to get neighbor TO accom-
pany me back to my employers. i tried
two. but neither could go. so | took my lit
tie niece, twelve years Of age. We passed
the corner of Third street on the east side
of Mississippi. and saw two colored men
standing on the southwest corner, oppo-
site oysters store. They were
John Parker and Ed McAfeeL JUST
after we passed saw them
cross the street tn the drug store and step
inside. Recognized them distinctly. They
were not inside but few seconds when the
shot was fired and they ran out. Thev did
not run down Third street, as VeDable and
Colvin testified. but ran straight down
Mississippi street to the alley south of Helm.
rich's butcher shop. just north Of Second.
and turned down that alley. running west
ward. l saw them both plainly. and John
Parker anc Ed McAfee are undoubtedly
the men,"
When asked why she had not told this
story on the witness stand. she said: 81
answered all questions asked me. i have
been told by number OF people that IL /
told this l would be waylaid and hurt or
Eilled ~
