 NEW BEDFORD, Mass. June 13.-On th, resumption of the trial of Lizzie Border this morning, Dr. Dolsn, the Fall River medical examiner whose testimony about the nature of the wounds inflicted upor Mr. and Mrs. Borden consumed nearly all yesterday afternoon's session, was called te resume his testimony in cross-examinstion Mr. Adams conducting. He said:
 "The marks on the plaster casts were made by Dr. Draper, think, last Friday here in New Bedford. The second time saw MT. Borden's body made g more 1 thorough examination than did at first. I think the effect of repeated blows on the head would be to make it sink more, and the head might have been higher when first laid down. Perhaps I disturbed 1t slightly when examined 1t. don't know what the height of the sofa was; didn't I meaeure it."
 Here an arm chair was placed against ] the wall to be used az an illustration of how the head of the sofa was when MT. Borden lay on 1t last, the door of the court | room leading to the anterooms standing as the door of the dining room relative to the head of the sofa. The witness then placed two coats in the chair and upon these put the plaster cast of MT. Borden in the posi- ton in which the body is alleged to have bsen, with the exception that there was the additional height of @ pillow under his head when lying on the sofa. The witness then continued:
 "Of the ten blows, four penetrated the skull. The second blow, beginning at the nose on the left, was four and one-hslf inches long, and cut through the bony formation of the substance beneath the eye and very slightly through both jaw bones; these bones are comparatively hard. The bones about the eye are not as strong; this four and one-half inch cut did not bi-seot the eye, but the one next to it did, and it was clean cut, indicating 8 sharp edged instrument. In my opinion the claw headed hatchet could have made the cut, and the cut was made from left to right the one over the eye was also from left to right; the latter was even more marked in its features. There were no others hay ing left to right tendency that discov- cred.
 "I have seen the handleless hatchet be- fore. It was before the first hearing, and I never referred to 1t in any way in my testimony. It was with tue others and we (the marshal and D examined it; l don't know whether 1t was done up or not. I consider it, as it appears now, the same in appearance as it was when I first saw 1t; 1t has clean, cutting edge; when I first saw it there were white particles of ashes on 1t.
 The witness then went on to give 8 minute description of the blood spots in He followed with theories about how the wounds must have been inflicted in order to account for their character and the location of the spots of blood in the rooms.
 Continuing, Dr. Dolan said that the blows were made by sharp instrument and some on Mrs. Bo1den were by an as. eailant aatrids the body.
 A juryman was taken sick at this point and 8 recess of five minutes was taken at 1O:15. The prisoner was much affected, and was led from the room.
 At the end of the recess Dr. Dolan was again on the stand but nothing of i'm portance was developed.
 Frank W. Draper, M. D., Boston, testi fed that he had been in practice since 1869 and was medical examiner for Suffolk county and had taken part in 2,500 cases in his line as a state employ. He is also 8 professor at the Harvard medical college. The first he heard of this case was when he was called to Fall River by Dr., Dolan. He assisted at the autopsy; he examined IL &l1 1r and made the marks on the plaster casts. Here the doctor described the wounds, ,as did Dr. Delan. The first wound examined was in vertical direction, 44 inches long, beginning in the corner of the left eye, and crushed in the bone; its direction was ] nearly vertical, or at right angles to the plane of the face; the next wound was l one above the left eyebrow, an open one l which was lost in the eyebrow; the ne x. one studied began in the last, passed l through tho eyebrow and crushed in the cheek bone; it penetrated the cavity of the skull; the next was hash wound only; this was bevelled from left to right; the next was a short cut in the scalp; the next inches in length; it was directed from the front backward; the next went down through the lower jaw; the last but one was immediately in front of the left. ear; the last one was little above
 the left ear, two inches long. vertical ir
 direction.
 A recess was then taken until 2:15, and
 at its close Dr. Drapsr's examination va.
 renewed. He described the wounds in de
 tail, most of them substantially as did Dr
 Dolan. During the description Mics Bor
 den retired from ths court room to avoie
 hearing the gruesome recital and witness
 ing the handling of the skulls which wer
 produced by the government. Witness
 statements relative to the intestines wsr
 substantially the same as that of Professo Wood, and he said there WAS nothing ab
 nermal about their condition. He ws confident it was st least an hour betwse ) Mrs. Borden's death and that of MT. Bor
 den. (Hsre the skull of MT. Borden wa
 produced that Dr. Draper might make more comprehensive statement as to tn
 position of the wounds and their effect)
 He asserted that the cutting length 0 the weapon used was 34 inches (the eizs 0 the handleIess hatchet blads) He demon
 strated this fact by piece of stiff ti which he inserted in several of the cut and showed that 1t was 0 good fit. Tn ) skull of Mir. Borden was much thinne than that of Mrs. Borden. In witness
 opinion the blows could have been give ' by a woman of ordinary strength. (He1
 the proceedings were slightly tnterrupte
 bytvo deputy sheriffs ejecting from th . court room New York artist who refuse
 to obey the sheriff.) In the opinion (
 witnesses the aseailant of Mrs. Borde
 stood over her; the assailant of M
 Borden stood behind him. There was D
 way of determining the direction of bloc
 epatters, and witness could not say as 1 , what the chance might have been of tt
 assailant being spsttered, but thought if l short handled hatchet was used the assai 2 ant would be more or less spsttered. Bloc
 would intermingle with rust on blade sn ]. would wash off less easily than if smes f ed on a bright surface. In this case u : blood would come of before the rust an
 there would be difficulty in detecting tt r presence of blood by chemical test. IT 5 hsndleless hatcher might have caused u 6 wounds in the heads of both people. i. David W. Cheever of Boston, surgeo
 of thirty-fve yesrs' experience, testif, ,, that he believed that Mrs. Borden al; first, the minimum time being one ho1 , and the maximum two hours; the handl t less hatohst, presuming 1t had Q handle a ordinary length, would make the wound hatchet not much smaller, could perha
 have been used, but in no event could t I, maximum of 3A inches be exceeded. T ...9n -orr5 ,,, <ba eide If Mru pord A,
