Crowded by Spectators. Most OF whom

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 9.-About
one half Of the spectators in the court
house this morning were females. So
persistent have they become in their
attempts to get in the court room that
barrier of stout boards has been built
across two trees at the entrance 80 that
only one person may pass in at a time.
Miss Borden evidently appreciates the
situation, since she remarked to Deputy
Sheriff Kirby, one of her guards in the
dock, as she glanced about and saw the
swarm that in some Of the houses in the
city the housework must be neglected.
la number of instances the same faces
are seen on the women's benches every
day.
Miss Borden was in her seat at s 45
this morning and her counsel were on
hand about the same time. She con-
versed with Governor Robinson until
court opened and appeared very much in
earnest about something.
At the opening of court the district
attorney said he had received a letter
from Everett M. Cook, the Fall River
bank cashier, In which he stated that
one Of his answers TO a question when he
was on the stand was Incorrect and he
begged to be allowed to change it.; on
the stand he said Miss Borden had no
account in the b. NJ. G. Durfee Bank; in
the letter he corrected it by saying she
had and that the balance on August A
was SIP 20. The correction was al
lowed TO stand
The first witness called this morning
was Assistant Marshal Fleet, and his
cross examination by Governor Robinson
was resumed. Governor Robinson made
a sldllful and long examination Of Officer
Fleet and disclosed the fact that other
hatchets than the handless hatchet were
found In the box by the chimney and
that there we're piles of ashes in the
room. The handless hatchet was found
on the witness second visit 10 the
cellar on the day of the murder. Witness
also admitted that the search in the
house that day was not very thorough.
Governor Robinson led Fleet into q
, contradiction of yesterdays testimony
, that the broken part of the hatchet handl,
was covered with ashes like the blade

Causes OF the Disaster.
Connected accounts as to the cause of
the accident are now partiallyobtainable.
The excavations which were the imme
date cause of the collapse were being
made at the instance of the War De
partment, for the purpose of putting in
an electric light plant As already
stated, the insecurity Of the building had
been repeatedly reported. For a long
time past, whenever a heavily loaded
wagon has gone by, the building seemed
to sway backward and forward, as the
clerks describe the sensation.
Eighty Clerks Jumped.
When the first rumbling warning of
the approaching collapse came, the
clerks on the third floor, to the number
of eighty or a 100, rushed to the
windows and jumped for the roof of
small building adjoining the north
west side Many of them escaped
in this way. George NJ Arnold,
colored clerk appointed from
Virginia, was seen at third
story window
He was warned not to jump but de-
spite the protestations of numbers of
people he climbed out and, lowering him
self from the sill, let 60 He fell upon
covering at lower door and slid off
into the cobble stoned alley, striking on
his head,
Instantly Killing Him.
His head was mashed to Jelly and the
cobbles for a distance of several yard S
were spattered with blood.
One Of the bravest and most daring
incidents connected with the calamity
was performed by a Tcolored boy. 10 or 20
years Of age, named Basil Lockwood. As
soon as the floors collapsed and the dust
cleared away, realizing the danger of
those at the rear windows, who were
climbing out and calling for aid he
Climbed Up Large Telegraph Pole
AS high as the third story and lashed a
ladder to the pole, putting the other end
in the window. By this means ten OF
fifteen were assisted down the ladder in
safety.
There were 47j clerks in the bureau
A portion of them were employed in the
annex and in the prin ting office. Thes,

The question Of the responsibility of thu
ccident is of course already earnestly
discussed
Assistant Secretary Grant was one o
the first officials to visit the scene of h
disaster and Immediately gave orders b.
telephone and mounted messengers tC
the officers of the department to render
all possible aid.
Secretary Grant Appalled,.
General Grant said to reporter
speaking under pressure of great emo
ton: Il am appalled, at the magnitud
of the disaster. It is impossible for IN
to say anything as to the cause Of tn
accident for know nothing of the con
dition of the building"

three hours before the mass of debris ca
all be cleared away and tn

of the building still remains a gre
mass of wreckage which has not yet beel
explored and its position is such as t
leave no doubt that several bodies wi
yet be found beneath it.
When the crash came there were SUI
posed to be in the building 496 clerks
