NEW BEnrosp, June M-Li.xie Borden,
who has been on trial here ssnce June ),
on the charge Of having murdered her
father. Andrew ]. Borden, and his wife,
her stepmother. was acquitted today.
AZ the opening of the trisl this morning
District Attorney Knowlton resumed his
argument in behalf Of the com monwcalih.
He addressed himself 10 the motive for the
murder, pointed out the enmisy Of Lizzie
toward her stepmother as sufficient
motive for her murder, and said that her
killing necessitated the killing Of her
father. He was stern man. who knew Of
the enmity and loved his dead wife, and
the only way for Lizzie TO possibly escape
punishment lay in killing her father. This
theory was the only one which would con-
s,stently account for the double murder
taking place over period of an hour and .
half between the acts. The speaker contin-
ued, arguing that the silk dress produced
by the defendant was not the dress worn
at the time Of tho murder. The two YER
sions Of the burning of the defendants
dress were irreconcilsble. and continued,
referring to the statement that Miss Lizzie
was in the barn At the time Of the murder:
In al your convsesatious have you ever heard
OF an attempt to create an alba which WAS more
stroinlng than the circumstances OF this ouef

mented On the old ana dussy condition OF the
barn and the fact that kecn-eyed people found
no traces OF person having been there. How
she could have avoided getting blood on her
clothes the jury could not answer. because they
were neither women nor murderer IL was .
singu lar thing that this dress. after being kept
30 long. was burned on that particular sunday.
Lizzie Borden had been told ON Saturday night
that she would be accused OF the crime and the
next morning she burned the dress. Mra Re-
gan never denied the ''you-givc- me- away" story
under oath. Tho prosecution did not claim
that they introduced the hatshet with which
the murder was committed. IL was shown that
the hstchet had been vet and had been rubbed
in ashes. and that the blade fitted almost
miracuiously into the holes in the skulls He
declared that the stofy OF the quarrel between
, the Borden sisters, a. told by Mairon Rcgan aud
afterwafd denied BY her, wss true. he said the
production of the ha,chet was no part OF the
states case. He closed with an eloquent sp-
peal to the jury.
The court then took . recess and on re-
assembling tho defendant was given an
opportunity to speak. She said:
am innocent. but will leave my case In
you. hands and with my counsel
Justice Dewey then charged the jury:
He defined the different degrees Of murder,
stated tnst the presumption Of innocence WAS
increased By the defendants character. and
there must BE- . real and operative motive Tho
judge further charged the jury TO weigh tho evi-
dence. to zee whsshsr the defsndants psfma-
