LIZZIE BORDEN ACQUITTED.

The end of the most remarkable
criminal trial in recent years was
reached yesterday with the acquittal of
Lizzie Borden for the murder of her
parents. The result is not surprising
to those who have followed the case in
the newspapers but unfortunately,
whether guilty or innocent, circum-
stances will not remove suspicion from
the woman in the minds of very many we'll
meaning people until the author of the
murder is discovered. Tho theory of
the prosecution that the crime must
have been committed by Lizzie Borden
because suspicion could attach to no
other person was very we'll for a starter,
shown that she had any connection
whatever with the shocking affair. The
public at large will be satisfied with the
verdict since under the conditions nc
the conviction and punishment of Liz
zie Borden, unless the case is ''proven
beyond a scintilla of doubt" as Col.
Nolan would say.
The case now reverts to the original
inquiry. Who murdered the Bordens?
At the present time We accept the con
%clusion of the Jury that 1t was not the
daughter and the greatest criminal mys-
terry of the ago is left for the detectives
to solve. 1t is surely q field to inspire
the genius of all followers of the great
Sergeant Cuff, the hero Of the search
for the moonstone. In this connection
we remember that the theft Of that ia
nous diamond was traced to a mar
whose character was as irreproachablt
as that Of Lizzie Borden. However, the
most striking feature of the Fall River
murder is that it was not done for rob
berry but for reasons as difficult to de-
termine as the identity of the authors
and the discovery of one probably
means the discovery Of both.
