LIZZIE BoRDEN's DEFENSE.
Close of the Trial at New Bedford
Massachusetts.


Close of the Trial at New Bedford.
Massachusetts.
The prosecution in the Borden case, at
New Bedford, Mass, rested with their
testimony in the shattered condition
that it was left by the skillful cross-ex-
amining Of Ex-Governor Robinson. The
only points of the case for the prosecu-
tion left practically in good shape after
cross-examination were the inconsistant
explanations of Lizzie Borden as to her
whereabouts and actions on the morning
of the murder, the story told by her III
regard to note received on the morning
of the murder by Mrs. Borden from a
sick friend, and the facts in relation to
burning a dress three days after the
murder.
The testimony for the defence was ali
completed by Saturday last. 1t was
directed principally to proving that the
prosecution proved nothing. Several
witnesses testified to seeing a strange
man in the vicinity of the Borden prem
ises near the time of the murder. In one
case this mysterious man was described
as having very white face and strange
look. Two witnesses accosted this
strange man as he sat on the curb opposite
the Borden house, but he refused to raise
his head or speak.
A number of witnesses testified to
Lizzie Borden's grief and agitation after
the murder, and to her being in tears at
tbo f,,porol of bor porontc
Three boys testified they were in the
loft of the Borden barn just after the
murder, and before it was visited by
Officer Medley, who testified that the
dust on the floor was undisturbed when
he examined the loft where Lizzie Bor-
den claimed to be at the time of the
murder.
The most important testimony for the
defense was that of an ice cream dealer
who was passing the Borden house at
exactly the hour Lizzie Borden says she
came from the barn and discovered the
murder, and who says he saw woman
leaving the barn at the time, and go in
to the house. The time was fixed ex-
actly and the testimony remained un-
broken. The prison matron's story in
reference to conversation between Liz
zie and Emma Borden in Jail, in which
Lizzie said aloud: "You have given me
away" was entirely discredited. Evi-
dence was brought to prove that Lizzie
Borden had soiled a dress with paint
while the Borden house was being
painted some months previously, and
that this dress was the one she burned
after the murder, on advice of her sis
ter in the presence of witnesses.
Emma Borden testified as to the
Borden family troubles, and denied that
there was any ill feeling in the family.
she also testified as to advising Lizzie
to burn the paint-stained dress.
Certain sensational statements of a
Frenchman who claimed to have met
man in the woods near Fall River after
the murder covered with blood and with
a bloody axe in his hand, were shut out.
The defense made no effort to explain
Lizzie Borden's story as to her STEP
mother having received note on the
morning of the murder asking her to
visit sick friend. This occasioned some
surprise. Counsel for the defense began
to sum up on Monday morning.

SITTING THE PENSION LIST.
The Searchers Have Revised More Than
900 Cases

The Searchers Have Revised More Than
1000 Cases.
A special force of twenty examiners
has been set to work by Commissioners
Lochren to overhaul the papers in al!
Eases of pensions granted under the Dis.
ability act of 1890. There have already
been more than 1000 cases revised. and
it has been declared that at least % pei
cent. of the pensioners who have been
benefited by Order No. 164 will be drop
ped from the rolls. The figures thus far
secured warrant the statement that the
pensions of 10000 persons, granted un-
der this Interpretations the pension law,
will either be stopped or reduced. 1t
does not necessarily follow that all the
pensioners who are affected by this re-
vision have been guilty of fraud, as the
granting of many of the pensions was
regular under the ruling of Commissioner
Raum, which was reversed by Secretary
Hoke Smith.

Restoring the Treasury Reserve.

Secretary Carlisle has abundant evil
dence that the gold reserve in the Treas
ury will soon be restored. New York
bankers are depositing gold certificates
against the currency demands of their
Western correspondents, and the Treas
ury is therefore meeting these demands
through the Sub-Treasuries at ST. Louis
and Chicago, to avoid payment of ex-
press charges for money shipments in
the reaping and harvesting of crops.

Railroads Are Disappointed.

Most of the managers of the trunk
lines running from the Atlantic seaboard
to Chicago have become convinced that
if there is to be any such amount of
traffic between the Eastern States and
Chicago this summer as was expected to
be the case some very important reduc-
tions in fare must be made. The travel
thus far has been very disappointing.
1t is heavier than it was last year, but
not so large by many thousands weekly
as these managers figured when last fall
and winter they were making prepara-

counting the silver in the vaults, which
the statement shows to amount to $780,

each piece of silver is counted.

Has England a Cup Winner?

There seems to be little question among
New York yachting critics that the
Valkyrie is fast boat. Conservative
critics say sheis at least 80 minutes faster
than the Thistle, which would make her
some minutes faster than the old Volun-
teer In view of this, the critics hope
that no mistakes have been made with
any of the four Yankee cup defenders,
as it looks as though they would have to
meet foeman worthy of their steel this
time.

A Letter Received from the Holy Father
on the School Question.
Cardinal Gibbons has received from the
Pope letter with reference to the school
question in this country. A priest who
is very near His Eminence is authority
for the statement that the Pope sustains
the position taken by Archbishop Satolli
in which the latter urges Catholics to
send their children to the Catholic
schools. At the same time refusal to
do so shall not be considered an offence
against the Church, and absolution will
not be denied those who persist in send
ing children to other educational institu-
tions.

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-12-22

A certain punctilious old gentleman
used to say that no true lady would ever
wear a stocking with a hole in it. The
same idea was voiced by a young girl Of
later generation, who declared that she
never felt like a lady when there was a
button off her shoe. Each put into
words an appreciation of the fact that
more is required than outward correct
ness of appearance to mark the woman
whose innate impulses are all toward
refinement. As the man Of thorough
breeding is to be recognized by his
bearing to his interiors, rather than by
his conduct to his equals, as the good
h~ousekeeper is judged by the condition
of her cellar and pantrieS, rather than
by the state of her p%arlorS, 50 is the
truly refund lady distinguished more by
the unnoticeable minutia Of her dress
than by the general outward effect

More serious sickness is produced by
allowing the bowels to remain in a tor.
pid or partially constipated condition
than from any other cause. In many
instances diseases are produced from
which people never wholly recover.
Dyspepsia, piles and nervous disorders
are three of the most common and most
serious. They are caused by neglect
ing the bowels, and can be prevented
by an occasional dose of St. Patrick's
pills, which always produce a pleasant
cathartic effect, and not only physic,
but cleanse the whole system and regu
late the liver and bowels. % cents per
