to have q confidential chat with his client.
Lizzie talked freely and the ex-governor looked
quite happy and cOntented when the interview
closed and the business Of the day began.

by two bits OF testimony which NAV prove of
grave importance. Police Officer Allen testified
that in his search of the Borden house he found
lying at the feet Of Mrs. Bordens body in the
front chamber q colored handkerchief with
squares Of black lines in it, which was badly
torn.
The handkerchief, stained and rent. was held

OF wearied disgust passed over the face of the
prisoner.

Ratchet was covered with heavy dirt or
ashes, white ashes on the blade upon

dust was Of ashes, very fine. Other tools In the

NEW ORLEANS, June 9.-Yesterday morning
a crevasse occurred on the lower coast, forty
miles from the city, on the left bank, but from
reports received it was about fifteen feet wide,

Some new hight has been thrown on the situ-
alton in the La Fourche district by Gen. N
Whitehead. planter in that section. who
reached the city today. All the way from Thi-
bodaux to Bayo Bleu the country was settled
by small farmers who had cultivated their
places and had good crops upon them. No e1-
tensive plantations were to be found in the
stretch of country referred to, but it was gen.
orally settled with large families on all Of the
places. -.. 81.
These people have lost nearly all they had
from the overflow and are actually in need Of
assistance in some cases.
A large amount of territory on Bayou Terre-
bone Is now under water and here also people
have lost heavily. Many have been driven from
their homes to seek the high lands, and the
planters who, are out of the water will be called
upon to take care of them.
Gen. Whitehead has twenty-five cabins on his
plantation and they are all crowded with refu-
gees from the overlooked district.
