BORDEN MURDER TRIAL.
A Ghastly Reminder Of the Terrible
Tragedy Exhibited in Court.

The Criminal court of New Bedford
Mass, in which the famous Borden
murder trial is now being conducted,
opened at the usual hour Oh Monday
morning. The immense crowd of
spectators, which has thronged the
rooms and corridors of the court
building daily, since the trial began,
showed an evident increase of num-
bers, large percentage of which were
women. The second week of the
trial opens with every appearance of
increased interest on the part of
curious public. AS the uncertainties
of the case are unfolded indications
of severe struggle over the admission
of the stenographic notes of Miss
Borden's testimony at the inquest are
plentiful, the same being apparent in
the piles of books visible in the court
room when the case was resumed
yesterday morning.

mOneu INTO the private room OF tne
Presiding Justice for consultation.
Miss Borden came into court at $50
and took her seat within the bar, look
ing somewhat deranged, and in an
swer to an inquiry from Robinson, as
to her Sunday nights rest, her words
and manner indicated that she did
not pass pleasant night.
THE CONSULTATION
lasted twenty minutes. After court
opened and the jury polled, the Off
GERS were directed by the court to re-
tire the jury until they were sent for
pending arguments to follow. Mr..
Moody then addressed the court, say
ing he understood the discussion now
to be opened was that of the admissi-
bility of defendants declarations at
the inquest when under suspicion be-
fore arrest. Mr.. Moody spent three
quarters of an hour maintaining the
admissibllity on authority of principle
and practice, claiming the rule to be
testimony is admissible if voluntary,
and arguing the defendants conduct
and declarations showing the con-
sciousness of guilt to be admissible
even if the defense should claim the
confession should not be used during
the argument. The prisoner was af-
fected with a sudden indisposition
and led from the room by Sheriff.
ARGUMENT FOR THE DEFENSE.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Moody's
address ex-Gov. Robinson, for the de-
fense, argued eloquently that the facts
showed defendants declarations not
voluntary, and then discussed author
tiles which he claimed admitted
testimony only when the facts were
different from those here.
The cross-examination after recess
of officer Hyde developed nothing.
Fall River City records were read to
show the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs.
Borden, and the age Of prisoner.
Medical Examiner Dolan was then
called DR.. Dolan identified the
carpet taken from the floor under Mr..
Borden's head, described the condi-
ton of the blood found with each
body, that of Mr.. Borden being warm
and dry, and that of Mrs. Borden
coajulated. Witness examined the
milk used by the Bordens August 8
and 4, and identified the hatchet
shown him on the day of the murder.
He described the position Of both
bodies when found and the condition
of the rooms where found. The blue
dress that has figured in the case be-
fore was brought In to court. DR..
Dolan said Mr.. Jennings had given
him the blue dress and waist and the
white shirt. On the white one was
one spot Of blood, a spot about the
size of pins head.
A CAST OF MR.. BoRDEN's HEAD
was introduced and handed to the
Doctor so that he might explain how
the wounds were located. One of the
wounds was four inches long, another
was half an inch longer than that.
Miss Borden, when the cast of her
fathers head was brought In, covered
her eyes with her fan. She did not
remove it even when addressed by
Lawyer Adams.
The Doctor took one of the hatch
cts, and with its blade against the
cast, illustrated how the hatchet had
struck the old mans skull.

DR.. III. III. Berh, who began the work
in 1914, and who has been steadily
adding to it ever since. Quite recently
DR.. Behr presented to the academy,

Previous to 1914 DR.. Behr made

By exchanging with other solicitors
he has obtained specimens from all

JUMPING.

The fact is just the reverse. Snow
shoes or as they are called the "ski,"
used in Sweden and Norway, are long,
narrow strips Of wood from three to
four inches in breadth and eight to
twelve feet long, sometimes even long
er. They ought to be one inch in thick
ness at the center under the foot and
gradually beveled off to about quar-,
ter Of an inch at either end In front
they are curved upward and pointed
and they are often little turned up at
the back end too. About the center of
the ''ski" is a loop for the toe made of
leather or other suitable substance, and
band which passes from this around
behind the heel Of the shoe. The OBJ
ject Of this fastening is to make the
ski and the foot as rigid as possible
for steering purposes, while the heel is
always to rise freely from the 'ski'' at
all times
There is no reason why any Ameri-
can boy should not be able to make
himself a pair Of frst-class 1slzi." The
material used is Scotch fir, birch as
well as elm, ash, oak, aspen and
maple. .s~

One great feature of this ski sport,

jumping ninety-nine feet and to have

EAGLE. AND DOG DUEL.

A Fierce Battle in Idaho in Whicn

II saw q battle between an eagle

the hotel was large lot, in which
were number of chickens and big
bulldog. An eagle swooped down up
on a portly Shanghai rooster, but
missed him, and the feathered Nor
mon ran squawking into the carriage
shed, where Towser was taking q
snooze. The bird of freedom was not
inclined to miss his dinner, and fol-
lowed after.

gave battle to the big bird. The
eagle beat him with his wings and tore
him with his claws, and the dog drew
back as though he had made q mis-

He was inclined to force the fight

the dog, fastened his claws into his
back and tried to lift him into the air,
but found him too heavy. Towser
had recovered from his surprise, and
soon had theeagle's head in chancery.

blem of freedom was dead upon an
unpoetical dunghill. He made a game

SILENT, BUT ALERT.

Partisan Detectives Are Not Snowy
and Therefore More Efficient.
Partisan thief-takers are chiefly no
ticable Tor an exceptionally ordinary
appearance, if one may use the express
sion. It is rather disappointing at
first sight to any one who knows de-
tective literature; but to look ordin-
airy and not to be so is obviously q
great merit in the business, when you
come to think of it. One Of them pulls
out of his pocket a specimen OF the
homely instrument which does duty
for handouts among these men.
They call it cabriolet, or more
correctly, igoette, and it consists of
some twenty inches of whipcord, with
a small piece ofwood at either end.
The cord is passed around the prison
er's wrists and twisted together. The
thing is more efficient than might
be supposed, and your true
Partisan thief taker takes q
certain pride in using simple means.
He is great at ready-made and in
genious devices. One plan with a
troublesome captive is to take off one
of his boots, which makes him limp;
another is to unfasten his clothes so
that he is obliged to use at least one
hand in holding them up.
The men make their own ligottes,
and sometimes produce a more for
midable article by using strong wire in
loops instead Of whipcord. But the
real master hand disdains even the
ligoette; he carries nothing whatever,
no matter where he goes. With the
majority OF the criminals his mere
personal influence suffices to impose
obedience, and when ne meets with a
desperate character he prefers to trust
to his good right hand rather than
any weapon of offense.
