Fall River, Mass, Aug. 4.-This

following is a sample:
"Pay to the bearer in clearing house

New Bedford. Mass, June 21. - The
jury in the Lizzie Borden murder trial
has returned a verdict of not guilty, and
she was discharged from custody. The
prosecutor had briefly but powerfully
summarized his entire argument. claimed
that the defense amounted to nothing,

peal to the jury to decide "s their con-
science should direct. The court then took

tunity to speak She said: II am inno-
lent. but l will leave the cas. in Your

grees of murder. He stated the rresump-
ton of innocence. which was Increased

NEW TRIAL FOR ALLEN

NEW NlAl> folt NIALEN.
Black River Falls. Wis. June 2O.-'The
appearance of Daniel Allen. the converted
Clark county murderer. at the court
house recalls Il very interesting case.
Nearly six years ago he was arrested
with Mrs. Wright. Il ncighbor. and to-
gethcr they were charged with the
death of Mrs. Allen and Mr.. Wright,
and the theory of the prosecution was
that it was done by Il systematic pro,
cess of poisoning. and that the removal
of these people was necessary to the
connubial happiness of Mr.. Allen and
Mrs. Wright While awaiting trial Allen
was allowed all the freedom he desired
around the city. and used to drive the
sheriff's COW back and forth to pasture
nearly mile, and no attempt was ever
made by him to escape. AT the tfia!
Mrs. Wright turned states evidence. ana
Allen was convicted and sentenced 1ot
life at Waupun. 1t was and is thought
by some that she learned that by doing
10 It would clear her, and she thought
it the easiest way out Of it for her. and
that there might and might not he any
truth in her statement.
While awaiting to be transported to
Waupun he found the door of the jail
unlocked one night. and babe good bye
to the city at once. and nothing was
heard from him for about two years,
yyhen he was captured in Washington
Territory and brought back to Waupun.
But friends who believed in his innocence
carried his case to the supreme court,
and new trial was granted. AS the
woman in the case is in Germany, it is
thought the evidence against him without
her will not be sufficient to convict.
