THAT BLOODY Ak.
Strange Story of the Old
FrenChman.
1T WAS NOT INVESTIGATED.
He Related 1t to the Police, Who
Forthwith Set About Spy
ing Upon Him.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

New BEDFORD. Mass. June 16.-The
Borden trial was resumed this morning.
The court decided not to admit the evil
dence as to the man seen with a bloody
hatchet, muttering 'Poor Mrs. Borden"
This is the testimony given by a Frenchman
named Lemain. who stated that he lives at
Steep Brook. three miles from Fall River
on the New Bedford road, and he is
woodchopper. Two weeks after the mur-
ders be said he was in the woods, when on
the other side of stone wall he heard
voice which kept repeating: Poor
Mrs. Borden! Poor Mrs. BordenW
He got over the wall, and approach
ing the man, spoke to him. This
man brandished an ak in threatening
manner, and the Frenchman raised his
own ak. AS the two stood there glaring
at each other, the Frenchman noticed that
the strangers right sleeve and coat were
covered with blood. and without a word
the stranger turned and went away. The
Frenchman notified the police, who. in
stead of searching for the blood-stained
stranger began ponderous investigation
| into his (the Frenchman's) private charac-
ter and antecedents. The man was seen
again and the police were again notified,
but nothing was done.
Sarah B. Hart testified that shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock on the morning of the mur-
der she passed the Borden house and
stopped ct the north gate and saw young
man standing in the gateway. He was
still standing there when witness drove
away.
Charles S. Sawyer, painter of Fall
River, testified that he was put on duty at
| the side door of the Borden house after the
murder. He was close to Lizzie Borden all
the time. She appeared distressed. Saw
no signs of blood on her.
A number of witnesses were then ex-
anined regarding the story published
about the time of the murder. in which
Police Matron Regan was quoted as saying
she overheard quarrel between the Bor-
den sisters which went far to fix the guilt
of Lizzie. All testified that Mrs. Regan
prom ounced the publication false.
| Emma Borden, Lizzie's sister, denied
that there had been any quarrel between
them. as reported. She said Lizzie was at
outs with her stepmother at one time, but
they had been good friends for three years
before the murder.
Emma Borden further testified that the
dress with paint on it was stained In May
when the painters were working in the
house. She said that she asked Lizzie
why she didn't destroy the dress and
thought she did so. The witness knew of
no enemy her stepmother had.
| Marshal Hilliard was the first witness
called in rebuttal after the defense rested.
| He was asked as to the quarrel in the
matron's room and said ne told the
matron not to sign paper denying the
| give-away story.
This ended the testimony except for one
| boy who will be heard for the defense on
Monday.

I1E IRON HAND.
Local Germans Talk About Kaiser
Wilhelm the Second.

The election returns as indicated by the
cablegrams from Berlin have occasioned
very little comment among local Germans
NJ. Green blatt, the talented editor OF the
California Demokrat, said in the course of
an interview with CALL reporter yester-
day:
'Of course. the returns at hand are un-
favorable to the Government and Indicate
that the Socialists have been making big
gains. VIII ich result was to have been ey-
| pected. L take it that the people of Ger
many voted with the Socialists not that
they are in sympathy with them especially
but because they dislike the army bill. for
1t entails more taxes, and because the
military spirit pervades the country to
such an extent that it has become actually
offensive to the people. The military spirit
OF the Government is too arrogant and the
result of this election will show the Gov
eTnment that the people do not want to
foster the military spirit. The Socialists
however. will not have a sufficient ma
jority in the Rcichstag to enable them to
put into practice any of their wild theories
AS there are something like fifteen politi.
cal parties now in Germany the Reichstag q
will be decidedly mixed. 1 do not think
IL
fact of any serious trouble. The German
people have too much respect for law and
order for that. But the question arises,
What will the Government do? VIII the
Kaiser dissolve the Relchstag? 1 do not
apprehend that he will. 1t would be too
much like child's play after the people
have given expression to their sentiments
at the polls. l think that out of all this
turmoil there will be a compromise. The
Government conld enter into such an
agreement with good grace and will un-
doubtedly be wise enough to take advan-
tage OF the opportunity"
Charles Bundschu of Gundlach g. Co.
said: affairs are doubtless in a critical
condition for the Emperor. l have antici-
pated the outcome of this election, for all

meager description of the robber passed
through Valley Springs inquiring the way
to Copperopolis. Sheriff Gregory of ANA

W. Love visited the house nearest the
place Of the tragedy shortly after o'clock
last night.
Kelly asked Stevens, the occupant: !:
"What has been going on around here?'
He replied: nothing has been the mat

Constable.

mo, saw no one"
1t is said that the place where the rob
ber stood could be seen from the porch,
and that man travelling IN the direction
the road agent was seen to take must have
passed in plain view of any one on the
porch.
When told that Guard Tovey had been
shot dead near by Stevens appeared sur
prised, as though it was the first he had
heard of the tragedy. 1t is reported that
Tovey and Stevens had words at ball
given at Jackson three weeks ag o. which
led to blows.
Several persons in jackson say that
1ovey told them that he receive letter a
few weeks ago signed Sharp. telling him
he had better leave the Wells-Fargo ser
vice and get out Of the State; otherwise he
would be apt to be killed. Sharp is the
name of man whose partner, Jones. was
shot dead by Tovey in 1880 while the pai T
we're attempting to rob the stage running
from Carson to B0die. Sharp shot Tovey
in the arm on that occasion. Toyey went
to farmhouse to have the wound dressed.
and in the meantime Sharp returned to
the stage and secured 500 while his part
! ner lay dead in the road.
Some think that the killing of Tovey
was from motives of revenge. The general
belief, however, is that it was for plunder
alone and that if letter of warning was
sent to the victim it was merely blind to
direct suspicion to delpsive channels.
! In conversation with w. w. Scott in
lone yesterday Tovey said that he expected
to be killed; that he was apt to be taken
off at any time on account Of trouble in
! Nevada in 1880.

THE REV. MR.. REAMS.
Hearing of the Extradition Case
at Victoria.
Lucy Rucker Claims to Be Eighteen
Years of Age-fier Father on
the Way.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

VICTORIA, 8. c., June 16-The Su-
preme Court room was crowded to-day at
the adjourned hearing of the extradtion
proceedings against Rev. Alfred Reams of
Merced, CAL. charged with the abduction
of Lucy Rucker. Justice Drake presided.
Lindley Crease, counsel for the prosecu-
tion. applied for a further remand till
Thursday to allow the presence of the
girls father.
Sheriff Warfield of Merced handed Mr.
Crease warrant for the arrest of Reams
in the State of California, and other papers
were also produced.
Taylor, counsel for Reams, did not object
to the adjournment. but stated that Mr..
Yates, the girls counsel. had q writ OF
habeas corpus for the production of Lucy
Rucker at the hearing Of the case. Yates
had gone to the refuge home, where the
girl was confined. for the purpose of serv-
ing the writ upon the matron of the insti-
tuition. Mrs. McCrea, who refused to be
served. Taylor further stated that the
Chief of Police had given an undertaking g
that the girl would be in court to-day, but
she was not present
Chief Sheppard then stated that the girl
was in one of the rooms of the Supreme
Court building
Taylor said he wanted some assurance
that the girl would be present.
Justice Drake stated that he could not
allow any one to interfere with the court,
and he asked Chief Sheppard if he would
be responsible for the production of the
girl.
Chief Sheppard said that newspaper
men went to see the girl to write scandal,
and he wanted to protect her.
Justice Drake replied that when the
order Of the court was made the girl must
be produced, and he advised the Immediate
service of the writ of habeas corpus. The
writ was served a few minutes after the
court adjourned
The prosecution say they are prepared
to produce evidence that the girl is under
16 years of age. Her father is said to have
record of her birth in his family Bible.
but it is claimed no official records can be
prOducad.

PHELPS ON THE RESULT.
Believes the Vote Has Not Been Cor
rectIV Reported.


NEW YORK, June 16. 16.-Ex-Minister Viii.
liam Walter Phelps, speaking of the re-
suit of the German elections, said to-day
THE Social Democrats seem to have
elected number of candidates in Berlin.
This Is not surprising. as Berlin is the
stronghold of that party. 1t would seem
that in the election yesterday very few of
the Liberal candidates have been success
ful.
"On account of the foolish rule which de-
MES the validity of any election unless the
candidate has received majority of all
votes cast am inelir ed to think tsas there
are not so many Social Democrats re-
elected as is reported, but that in the first
election they have received much larger
vote than any other candidate and careless
reporters have announced their election.
in nearly all the districts with which l
am familiar there were at least three can
didates-Social Democrat. Liberal and
Conservative. Even in the Berlin districts
the chances are that the Conservative
candidate would get enough votes to keep
a majority from the Social Democrats and
to require a second election. In this sec
Ond election it would often happen that
the Conservative would withdraw. direct
ing his friends to throw their votes to the
Liberal candidate, and in this way insure
the election of Liberal as the lesser of
two evils.
Whatever the complexion of the
Reichstag which meets on July may be,
it will have little chance to show
what it can do more than to
vote against the army bill. This
Reichstag was called together to vote on
that bill. and elected on that issue. 1t will
be called upon to vote, it will reject the
army bill, and as soon as the president an
nounces the vote Caprivi will rise at the
head of the Ministerial bench, having in
his hand an edict signed by William IL

WHO KILLED HIM
Different Theories Advanced Con-
Cerning the Murder.

1t will be remembered that upon hearing
of the murder of Tobey Warden Aull of
the Folsom prison gave out that it might
have been Sharp, 1.-THE notorious Nevada
robber, who spent nearly twenty years in
prison tor robbing the Carson and Bodle
stage. he having been latterly released"
Warden Aulps information was far from
exact, however. though his theory may be
correct. Sharp was not recently released
from prison. after serving twenty years.

robbery. committed September s. 1880,
on the Carson City-Bode express. 1t is
owing to the death of Sharp's accomplice
at the hands of Tovey that the theory of
revenge is given color.
During four months prior to September
5. 1880, the Carson City-Bodie stage was
stopped no less than twenty times and
