The ACCUSED GIRLS STORY.


When Lizzie Borden was called
upon TO testify she said her father
complained Of being i'll and lay
on the sofa. She adjusted the pill
lows for him. She was preparing
to do some ironing, and as her fat
irons were not hot enough she
went into the barnyard to pass the
time she would have TO wait be.
fore she could use them.
In the yard she picked up some
pears that had fallen from the
trees. Then she went into the barn
for sinkers for her fish line, as she
intended to go to Marion the next
day to fish.
She knew there were sinkers in
alittle box up stairs inthe barn
and she went there to get them.
That was the first time in three
months she had been in the barn.
Up stairs in the barn she ate four
pears. and after looking for the
silkers returned sto the house.

Prescott lArizl Courier.

Prescott (Ariz) Courier.
J. H. Lee came in yesterday from
the American ranch, west of Pres
colt, and related a strange story,
In the mountain crags near the
ranch several families of American
eagles have for years reared their
fearless brood, and have, in the
main, been unmolested, their chief
prey being snakes and other rep
tiles unwelcome to man. In the
same section a species of snake,
known hereabouts as the whip
snake, is also common. These
snakes are of the long, slim varie-
ty, seldom larger than good-sized
walking stick, but ranging in
length all the way from four to ten
feet. They are not considered
poisonous, but, like the beacon
strictor species, wind around their
prey and crush it, and their squeez-
ing powers are said to be somewhat
wonderful. So swift are these
snakes that they disappear, un-
harmed, when struck at with a
stick, like the shadow of a flying
bird.
A few days ago Mr.. Lees sons
were hunting through the forest
near the ranch when they saw a
great eagle, which was sailing in
the air, suddenly dart to the earth,
heard a futter in the brush, a
piercing scream, and the bird rose
above the pine tops, an unusually
long whip snake dangling from his
beak. The eagle held the snake
just behind the head and rose rapid
ly. The snake seemed to be making,
Intellectual efforts to draw it's dang
ling body up to coil around the

but it was evident that a mortal.
combat was taking place, for the
bird would rise and fall and emit
occasional screams, as if In pain,
and in a few minutes was seen
rapidly descending earthward,
turning over and over in his flight
and Tapping one wing vigorously,
the other seeming to be held out
stationary. But nothing could be
seen of the snake. The bird struck
the ground with somewhat of a
thud near the boys, who hurried to
the place, where they found the
eagle with a death grip on the
snake just back of the reptiles
head, while the snake had coiled
round and round its assailant's
body, crushing the bird all out of
shape and breaking one wing en-
tirely.
The boys killed and unwound the
snake, while the dogs went for the
eagle and soon killed it, not, how
ever, before the bird had almost.

When she got there she found her

------7
When she got there she found her
father murdered and summoned
Bridget.
The heads and faces of Mr.. and
Mrs. Borden were so chopped and
hacked that they were beaten
almost out of human resemblance.
IF Lizzie is guilty she must have
killed her father within twenty
minutes and then appeared before
her neighbors without a spot of
blood on her clothing and without
any sign that she had hastily ad-
justed her dress, I'm that time also
she must have concealed 80 effect
lively that it has never been found
the bloody weapon with which the
deed was committed, and she also
disposed of every scrap of direct
evidence that would connect her
with the crime.
Lizzie Borden wore q blue dress
when the neighbors entered the
house and found her father and
stepmother murdered. She wore
a blue dress about the house in
the morning. In two rooms blood
from the murdered ones had spat-
tered and spurted over everything
for many feet around the dead
bodies.
In the minds of the authorities
there never was doubt that the
murderer of Mr.. and Mrs. Borden
was smeared and .splashed with
blood. With the exception Of a
single drop Of blood the size of a
pin head on her white underskirt,
not a speck of blood was found on
the clothing Lizzie worn before or
after the murder.
THEORIES OF THE CRIME.
A lot of theorizing has been
done to try to justify the suspicion
that Lizzie killed her parents. One
suggestion is Chat she stripped
herself, and another that she COW
cred herself with long rubber
garment that protected her cloth
ing. Rumors have been heard in
Fall River that witnesses have
been found who will testify at the
trial that from the street they saw
Lizzie at the window of the room
where Mrs. Borden's body was
found and that she wore what
looked Ike q hooded waterproof.
It is regarded, however, as al
most impossible for Lizzie: to have
completely destroyed such a gar
ment in so short a time.
The time of the death of Mrs.
Borden cannot be fixed so closely
as that of Mr.. Borden. It is the
opinion of medical experts in
Boston who examined the stomachs
of the murdered pair that Mrs.
Borden was killed from an hour
to an hour and a half before her
husband.
That being the case, and Lizzie
the murderess, she must have kill
ed her stepmother aboutten o'clock
and epent the interval between
that hour and the time she killed
her father in calmly attending to
her household duties. Bridget
testified that during this period
Lizzie chatted and joked with her.
It was very plain that the MUIR
ders were not done for money, for
not q penny nor an article of value
was missed from the house. Mr..
B orden wore watch and there
was q large sum of money. in his
pockets, but neither was touched.
Nothing in Mrs. Borden's room
was found out of order, and none
of her jewelry was taken.
Hatchet Found.
