The Borden Trial.

Court came in at 8 o'clock promptly
and the District Attorney continued his
argument, in the course Of which
he said: "It affords satisfaction to
our reasoning to have discovered that
there were unfortunate conditions IN
that family from which we can suspect
even the malice existing. The malice
was all before the fact, the wickedness,
the ingratitude had gone on under
that roof for many, many years" Af-
ter arguing to show that no one but the
prisoner could have killed Mrs. Bor-
den he continued: at may be that
Lizzie Borden did not plan To kill her
father. She came down to meet that
stern old man who loved his daughter,
but who also loved his vic, and the
one man above all who would know
who. killed his wife. He knew too
much of the family relations, and she
did not dare to let him live. There
was no escape from the crime but to
complete the bloody work. The sec
ond murder was not planned, but was
done as a wicked and fearful ncccssi-
ty."
At lao thc..court resumed its session and
the defendant was given an opportunity to
speak. She said: Il am innocent, but l will

the coroner's jury in the Ford theatre
disaster case has brought in verdict
holding Colonel Ainsworth, Contractor
Daut, Superintendent Covert and En-
gineer Sasse responsible for that disas-
ter. And yet all OF the men referred to
are experienced in their line of work,
have always been found competent
and efficient, and constantly and
without hesitation subjected them
selves to the danger of the same
accident that befell the other peo-
pie employed in the building. The
sober and experienced but unframed
engineer of steamboat might just as
well be held responsible for injuries IN
flictcd by the bursting of the boiler IN

coroner's iuries are not the only people

THE ILLINOIS legislature signalized
the closing days of its session last week
by passing compulsory education bill
And vet Illinois poses as liberty low
ing State. In a country that processes
to allow its citizens to do as they please
so long as they do not infringe upon
the rights of others, that man should
be compelled to send his children to
school against his and their will Is
a grotesque paradox. Majorities rule,
but such rule is infinitely more cruel
and infinitely less reasonable, than that

FRAUDULENT PENSION CLAIMs.-A.
D. Albert, the supervising pension ex-
aminer for the southern district, has
made report to Commissioner Loeb
rem as to the progress so far made in
the investigation into pension frauds at
Norfolk. The investigation was begun
May last; and up to this time fifteen
arrests have been made for violations
of the pension laws, and before the in
vcstigation is concluded some time next
month, it is expected that fully twenty
additional arrests will be made. The
report shows violations of nearly all OF
the pension laws, and include perjury,
making false claims, false certificates
and aflidavits and taking illegal fees.
The principal offender is said to be w.
r. Drllry, pension attorney at Nor
folk, who procured IA large proportion
of the applications for that section upon
false evidence. Drury is now serving q
term of one year in the Norfolk city
Jail for making a false claim for pen
sion. His term will expire next De
cember, when he will be Immediately
rearrested and tried upon several other
serious charges, the punishment for
which will be a term in Albany peni-
Tertiary. A calculation made upon the
basis of 167 cases recommended to be
dropped from the pension rolls shows
that fraudulent pensions granted to
Norfolk claimants under the act OF
June 81, 1890, aggregate s54,0A. Nor
folk county claims not allowed and
pending have been recommended for
rejection, amounting to about 100000.
