ATTORNEY MOODY TALKS.

Murder VIII lie q surprise.


Murder VIII he q surprise.
FALL RIVER. Mass. May district
Attorney William ii. Moody of Essex
county. who has been engaged as assist
ant attorney in the Borden murder
trial, is in the city, and Is working inces-
sanity on the evidence. He states hat
the Cover IN mt is at a disadvantage &c in
the case on account or the inability of
til attorney general to take charge.
The amount OF evidence to be submit.
ted by tic prosecution Is very great aud
is of "A different character from what the
people generally suppose. IL would be a
breach of confidence TO say in what par
ticular the evidence will be surprise to
the public. but it is safe to say that evil
dence which was not put in at all In the
preliminary hearings will b. the maiu
evidence in the trinl which will begin ut
New Bedford next Monday.
Mr.. Moody said that no was quite sure
that the story recently published to the
effect that Miss Borden's nina was Civ
ing way under her long confinement was
utterly false.
The close resemblance OF the Man
chester and Borden murder cases will
undoubtedly have u tendency to aid the
counsel for the defence la the latter.
Iaasmuch as jury must be made UP
OF men who are but human they cannoC
help drawing a comparison ia returning
their veriict.
The people in this city make deal OF
comment on this point aud the counsel
for the government has teen forced to
take IL into consideration though they
vill not admit that they regard the fact
with alarm. District Attorney w. III.
Moody today said:

THE PROGRESS OF THE FIGHT
How the Political MIDDLE in the Assem-
bly, Looks.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.


NEWPORT, June 1-Yesterday's scene
in the general assembly was a repetition
of that of the preceding day. At the end
of the reporters table sat Mr.. honey
surrounded by books on all kinds of law
except that of Rhode Island. Next to
him on the right sat DR.. Garv,n, aud on
his left sat George I. Brown. 1t required
all three to keep the unruly members
in their places and quiet. Time aud
again some member OF the house would
get up and rush at Mr.. Honey with an
idea too big for his head, only TO find
Mr.. Honey had considered the point and
that the steering committee had decided
what to do.
Nevertheless there was a point to be
considered in the present situation Of the
house. 1t has or tau'zsd, but it has not
yet notified the senate that it is ready
for business. Now, the question arises,
will action he taken before that notifica-
tion be legal? The sen tie. notified the
house when it was ready to- act, but the
house has failed TO do so. Many Demo
Gratis think all such action illegal, and
are Of the opinion that il will ali need to

and say that the Senate's notification
covers the legality OF both houses.
The Democrats at Sea.
The city has given up its holiday attire
and returned to its accu, stoned course of
quietness.
The politicians still ars on hand and
the vital ques ion Is how long will they
stav. The Democrats are all at sea as TO
a. l.., Lxv..n nr - Al
first lieutcnants of Colonel Honey said to
the News correspondent that he had no
idea how the deadlock would end. He
and many OF the Denocra Is sill cling to
the notion that the senate might ce de
from it's determination aud accept the in
vitation to go into grand committee.
That their hopes are unfounded is at
tested by the position Of the Repu hlican
party. The adjournment OF the senate

All OF the Republicans regret the revo-

Democrats. They would have preferred
even TO have gone into grand COMMITTEES

that the state should be disgraced by
such an open violation ot the laws.
