Details of the Crime,

The eldest victim of the crime was Andrew
j. Borden, capitalist Of Fall River. Mass.
who was seventy years old. The other vic.
tim was his second wife, stepmother to the
prisoner. She was considerably younger
than her husband who married her when
Miss Lizzie was about four years old
She was large, feshy woman. There
were two daughters. Lizzie and Emma.
Emma was out of town on the day OF tho
murder. which took place on August 4, 1892.
Emma called her stepmother "Abbie." but
Lizzie did not call her anything to her face
or speak to her at all. She quarreled with
her iive years ago because her stepmother
induced her father to clear piece OF prop
erty OF debt and give IL to his wife's sister.
Miss Lizzie was born in 1860. She and her
sister had $4,000 in cash or In mill shares or
In each form. This their father had given to
them.
At the time OF the murder all the members
OF the family were Ill, and this led to tho
theory that they had all been poisoned. A
drug clerk was said to have sold prussic acid
70 Miss Lizzie but 1t was case OF mistaken
identity, No poison was found in the bodies
OF the victims.
On the morning OF the day OF the murder
MIR. Borden had been on his business rounds
and had come back. Mrs Borden was
dressing to go out. Bridget Sullivan was up
stairs washing windows. The old man went
TO sleep on lounge In the sitting room.
The wife continued dressing. IL she was
not already dead, and Lizzie Borden, ac-
cording to her own story, went out to the
barn in the yard and stayed there thirty
minutes. She passed her father In going
out, and stopped to stroke his head. All this
was between half past ten o'clock and ten
minutes past eleven o'clock in the morning,
In disagreeable side street, "a semi-tene-
nent neighborhood with small shops in IT,
1t was In the heart OF the city, in its business
part
The wife had sent the servant to wash the
down stairs dining-room windows AT four
or five minutes before IL the servant went up
TO her room TO lie down. She had been lying
there ten or fifteen minutes when Miss Lizzie
called to her from down stairs In voice
suggesting alarm or terror. She is reported
TO have seen Lizzie In the kitchen, who said
either Fathers dead go for doctor" or
"Father's hurt so for the Doctor" The
servant will clear up this confusion as TO
what was said.
The servant Bridget Sullivan, went and came
back and was sent out TO get Mrs. Russell.
When she returned again DR.. Bowen was
there and had been preceded by Mrs Church.

SENATOR STAMFORD DEAD.
The End Comes While He Is in Bed and
NoOne Is Near

Senator Leland Stanford died Wednesday
night at his country seat Palo Alto, Cal. He
was in the best of health the day before and
took a drive around his stock farm and re-
tired after O clock. He made no com plant
during the day regarding his health. About
midnight his valet entered his bed room
a'd found his master dead. Lately his limbs
became much affected and a week ago he
was hardly able to move about without as.
sistance. He said he suffered fIom gout, but
that the hot treatment he was undergoing
would cure him. He would have resigned
his senatorship before long, The body will
be embalmed.
The following is n condensed outline of
the deceased Senator'S career:
Senator Stanford was born at Watervliet
Albany codnty. March o. 1924; admitted to
the bar and began practlcing law at Port
to Jane Lathrop at Albany. NJ Y. In 1850 he
removed to California and engaged in min
ing in 1852. In 1860 he was delegate to the
National Republican Convention that nom
mated for President Abraham Lincoln. OF
whose nomination he was an earnest advo-
cate. He was elected Governor of Califor-
MIA in 1861; elected President of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company in 1861 and drove
the last spike OF the Central Pacif, Rail-
road at Promontory, Utah, in 1869. He was
elected United States Senator from Califor-
mia in 1884. He laid the corner stone of
Leland Stanford, Jr., University in 1887,
which he opened ia 1891.
Various estimates from time TO time have
been made of Senator Stanford's wealth. IL
has been placed by many rs high as 500
600, 900, and even $50 000, ,000 and again
there have been those who have leaped all
barriers and placed his wealth at $40, 600, 900.
In these times, and considering his interests
In the Sosthern Pacific system the great
Palo Alto and Vina ranches, his city and
codntry residences 1t is difficult to arrive at
what he actually was worth.
The residence at Palo Alto with its exten-
sive grounds, IS undoubtedly the finest of
its KIM In California and perhaps there is
no country house in America in all respects
30 fine. 1t Is here that the Senator has
spent most OF his ii e since his return from
Washington. In his residence there and in
San Francisco are pictures and statuary
that have cost hundred of thousands of
dollars. He has lived like king Travelled
by special car and with whole retinue of
attendants that has astonshed even the
richest men of the Old World,
Mr.. Stanford made the beginning Of his
great fortune out Of the Union and Central
Pacific, of which he, together with G. p.
Huntington, Fred Crocker and Mark Hop
kins, were the original incorporators,

The attitude Of the bankers who have
signed the bond toward the handling of
the county rnepey is an interesting SUBJ
ject for speculation. They are very
reticent about the matter, but say that
satisfactory arrangement will be
made.
1t is expected that under the new
order of things there will be monthly
counting ef the funds in the hands OF
the banks. There will be deputy treas
urers in each OF the banks, and they
will be treated more in the nature of
sub-treasures than before.
Upon being asked whether banks hav-
ing county money will be required to
give the certificates heretofore required
to hold it as special deposit, those
interested would not say much.
No papers were fled yesterday in the
friendly suit to test the validity of the
treasurer's appointment, alluded to in
yesterday's issue.
