NEW BEDFORD, June l3-Oficer hyde's
testimony late yesterday afternoon
was wholly relating to having seen Lizzie
Borden and Miss Russell go down into the
cellar on the evening after the murders.
He said Miss Russell appeared to be de-
cidedly nervous, and that, as he saw her
from a cellar window, she shook. Mr..
Robinson tried several times to get wit
ness to look and act nervous as he said
Miss Borden did, but not with very salts
factory results.
Hyde said Miss Russell carried a lamp,
but that her shaking did not jar the
chimney off. Ten or Is minutes later he
said the prisoner came down stairs again
alone and went To the sink for few sec
onds; he could not tell what she did.
The examination Of Medical Examiner
William A. Dolan in the afternoon was
not at all interesting, barring the half
dozen hatchets and numerous integral
parts of the Borden house introduced. un-
Ill Lawyer Adams took hand for the
sross-questioning, which was cut short by
adjournment
Mr.. Adams arraigned Dolan sharply
for not notifying the Borden girls when a
second examination was held at Oak
Grove cemetery aud new facts ascertained.
He also sought to tangle the doctor on cer-
tain admissions made before the district
iourt at Fall River 10 the effect that one
VI the claw hatchets found would have been
adequate to accomplish all the dreadful
work Of the fcnd now so ruthlessly pur-
sued.

The end OF tue wood was fresh. He
soaked the wood for four days in water

Then Mr.. knowlton asked IL this

Professor Wood answered, 1T could
nave been cleansed before the handle was
broken, not afterwards. because the
rough broken ends would have shown
stains Of tie washing solution or blood"
