MRS. RUSSELL DISCHARGED.
she oannot ne Held tor TriaI.e


Eau Claire, Wis, Special, May a.--Judge
Bailey to-day discharged Mrs. Russell, con-
yicted year ago of numbering Bertha Er.
iks0n. The defense withdrew the plea IN
bar and made q motion In arrest OF 1udg-
ment, which raised all the issues Judge
Bailey held that Mrs. Russell had once been
placed In jeopardy and had not waived her
constitutional right against second 1eOp-
ar1y for the same offense, and also that her
most sacred rights had been so invaded by
the district attorney In the telephone epi-
sode that second trial could not restore
them to her, and that the substitution OF an,
other prosecutor however honorable, c0ulu
not restore her to the position she occupied
at the commencement. In closing the Judge
said:
''rhe discharge Of the accused on these
proceedings may excite comment and lead
to expression unfnvoraDle TO the admlnlH-
tration of justice. This cannot be avoided.
1t may be urged by some who have been
anxious Tor the conviction OF this woman,
whether the evidence was suficient or not,
that she mas escaped punishment ON mere
technicalities In the application or legai prlh-
clpleS. Such Is not the case. Her discharge
now saves the county thousands Of dollars.
The court Is frank enough to state that un-
less the evidence given upon second trial
was more substantial In its nature, more
direct and positive than the evidence given
on the former trial., the coHrt would not,
even II tae jury should convict, permit the
YeruIct to stand"
Mrs Russell showed no emotion when the
decision was announced, and walked quietly
out with her lawyers, MesSrs. James and
Quarics, and lady who had sat by her In
the court room. As the four stepped out
upon the portico light-complexioned, elder
ly man OF small stature. confronted them.
He looked harl at Mrs. Russell, made some
remark not distinctly heard and started
down the steps.
"Aou had better be careful how you ad-
dress her., said Mr.. James.
The little man turned around upon the
first step. and with an upward glance and q
say she's clear" Then he walked down the
steps and walked away. .-.
Again 4ur. James remarked, 'sYou had bet.
ter be careful how you address her."
The tile, elderly man was John Jensen,
brother of Bertha EriksoH, deceased.
There Is deep feeling among the friends and
relatives of the dead woman.

To Avoid Wars.

New York, May 9.-The Herald's Paris
cable says: From authentic information
it would appear that the pope is pre-
pairing an encyclical to the European
governments setting forth the inevitable
crisis tn which the crushing military.
changes condemn them, He will call the
attention of the governments to the neces-
sity of introducing the idea of pacifica-
ton into their general policy as well as
the appeasement of the anger of the
working classes consequential upon their
misery. The pope will ask for a resolu-
ton on the question of disarmament,
probably by an encyclical, which may be
the result of an agreement come to in
his interview with the emperor of Ger
many. The governments of Austria,
Italy, Spain, Belgium and Russia are
said to be already informed of the agree
ment referred to above and are willing
to accept it. Russia has made certain
reservations, but it intends, it Is believed,
to adhere to the general decision, in
which case she would be charged with
the mission of bringing pressure upon
France to induce her to join tile other
nations.

New Bedford, Mass, May 9.-Lizzie
Andrew Borden, who has been an inmate
of Taunton Jail ever since August last,
under indictment for the murder on Aug.
4, in Fall River, of her father. Andrew
Jackson Borden, and her stepmother,
Abbie nurfee Borden, was arraigned this
afternoon In the superior court. The au-
thorities sought to keep the arraignment
quiet, and preserved the utmost secrecy.
News of the coming of Miss Borden had.
however, reached this city before the ar
rival, and quite q number of people had
gathered, who looked curiously and In
many cases not unsympathetically at the
woman who stands charged with one Of
the foulest crimes on the calendar. On
arrival at the court house Miss Borden
was conveyed at once through the rear
door to the district attorneys room, and
remained there till 5:15 o'clock, the court
being occupied with the trial OF civil
case Miss Borden was then escorted up
stairs to the court room. For the space
perhaps of a second she faltered, and
leaned against the casing, but she imme-
diately regained her self possession, and
walked with firm step along the aisle
and took her place in the dock. However
great may have been her mental suffer
ings during her Imprisonment, she carried
no outward sign of them. When the rip
pie of excitement which marked her en-
trance had subsidized, the district attorney
moved that Miss Borden be arraigned,
and the clerk of the court, Simeon Bor-
den, Esq, said: sLizzie Andrew Borden,
stand up and she did SO, and looked
steadily Mt him while he read slowly and
solemnly three indictments of two counts
each. Two of them charged her with the
murder of Andrew ]. Borden and Abbie
Durfee Borden, separately, and the third
charged her with the murder of both.
At the end of each Indictment the clerk
asked: Lizzie Andrew Borden, what say
you to this indictment; are you guilty or
not guilty." and to each she replied clear.
ly, calmly and steadily, Il am not guilty.
She did not seem to be stolid or stubborn,
but acted as though she was fully alive
to the gravity of the situation, Andrew
J. Jennings Of Fall River, who hes been
her faithful counsel all through, was
present. Judge Hammond said there
appeared to be no necessity Tor the as
signment of counsel, and told ME-: JenS
nings he could enter the appearance OF

and Nj. @. Adams. The court was then
adjourned, and after waiting moment
