Lizzie Borden Is Calm.
The newspaper men who saw Lizzie
Borden last year remarked how much
plumper and more prepossessing she APP
peal ed than nine months ago. Certainly
she looked in excellent health, and like
any one OF a hundred well-dressed women
one might meet on the street.
She came forward looking straight
ahead with little air of determination,
followed by a deputy sheriff, and both
took seats In the dock; broad, cane-seated
armchairs being provided.
Miss Borden seated herself quietly, still
looking straight ahead. She stood the
stares of the crowd unseeingly-not stole
ally but as one who has nerved herself for
the ordeal She seemed to have bit OF
lozenge betgeen her teeth and swallowed
now and then with visible muscular ef-
fort. She opened and closed her eyes
nervously, and later bit at the edge of
big fan she held-a round paper fan with
Jap figures on il.

blage of jurymen, informing them of the
solemnity of the occasion, and impressing
upon them che necessity of remembering
that they would answer all questions
under oath
