ONE FOR LIZZIE BORDEN.
The Court Decides to Exclude the
Accused's Statement at the
Inquest.

New Bedford, Mass, June 13.-
Over one half the spectators in court
this morning we're women, and the
second week of the Borden trial opened
with the appearance of increased iuter'
est as the uncertainties of the case are
unfolded.
Miss Borden came into court prompt
ly at 8 o'clock looking somewhat worn
and in answer to an inquiry as to her
rest last night, she replied that she did
not pass pleasant night. The con-
sultation lasted twenty minutes.
After a long argument of counsel
the court decided to exclude the steno
graphic notes of Miss Borden's testi-
mony at the inquest when under sus'
picion and before her arrest. This
was an important point in her favor.
During the argument the prisoner was
affected by an indisposition and was
led from the room. It is the general
belief here that the prosecution has
made a very weak case so far, and it
is said that the burned dress theory OF
the state will be knocked out by the
defense, which will show that Lizzie
Borden bought and used paint a few
days before the murder and that il
was not an uncommon thing to burn
dresses in the Borden household.
= In the afternoon Medical Examiner
Dolan took the stand and identified
the Ratchet taken from the floor under
Mr.. Borden's head, describing the
blood found with each body, that ot
Mr.. Borden's being warm and thai
of Mrs. Borden coagulated.
The blue dress that figured in The
case before, was brought into court
On the waist was one spot of blood,
spot about the size of pin head.
A cast of Borden's head was intr'
duced and handed to the doctor 81
J J that he might explain how the wound
,, were located. One of the wound
/ was four inches long. Another was
I. half inch longer than that The doc

The Remains OF Murdered Man Ex'
humed at Mead Evidence.

Meade, Kan; June 13.-Dupty Sheriff
Boyd, OF Barber county, has been here
after the remains of the fellow Quinn,
who was murdered and robbed OF $1,000
about six years ago. He had the decom-
posed carcass exhumed and placed in a
box. 1t is to be used as evideuce against
the Thompson brothers who are now in
jail in Medicine Lodge awaiting trial
for said murder. The country in western
Barber county was secured for days by
men trying to fiud Quinn's body snc the
search was finally given up. One Depew'
who helped the Thompson boys, and has
been serving Q term in the penitsnaAry'
told the penitentiary officials al nbou'
the murder and whSrs the body could b
found. The evidence against the Thomp-
sons is very strong.
