court house was crowded to repletlon
again to-day, a majority OF the specta-
tors being females. DR.. Bowen, the nrst
witness, stated nothing new In the
direct examination, except to deny that
be had ever said Mrs. Borden died OF
fright or in faint
Cross-examiHed by Adams the fact
came out that the witness had provided
morphine for the prisoner to allay ner-
vous excitement, first In ordinary doses;
afterwards In double doses, continued TO
the time of her arrest and afterwards
in the station house and before the ex-

Bridget Sullivan was recalled for re-
REORGANIZATION. She testified that
she saw Lizzie In tears when she called
her down stairs just after the murder,
and denied she had ever stated so, as
shown by her testimony in the prellmi-

Nothing new developed in Mrs.
Churchill's direct examination, but in
the cross-examination she said that LIZ
zie was so pale and excited after the
murder that her appearance attracted
the witnesses attention from the house.

witness to all appearance. Then he
walked back 20 the table.

"What was it?"
'A handkerchief.
"Where did you find it?"
"I found it lying littls way from
Mrs. Borden's feet-between her feet
and the window"

Then came the answer that caused
the prisoner TO look as II she was about
to collapse.

covered with blood"
That's ALL" said the District Attor-
ney, as II it was an every day matter to
produce bit OF evidence like that.
During the time that the handker-
chief was talked about the prisoner

other hand. When Ex-Governor Robin

ask a question about the bloody hand
