A Terrific Arraignment.
Mr. Moody's arra:gnment was terrific.
lie spoke In natural tone OF voice;
never too loud but at the close the tone
dropptd to whisper. His remarks
were clear, concise, and his carnestness
and quiet eloq aence made them convinc-
ing. But IL must be remem bered that,
awful aud seemingly irrefutable as was
the arraignment. IL was only the claims
OF the government. Real as 1t seemed
and cruel as its effect on the prisoner. II
was only the assertion of lawyer It
was not evidence. aud unless it Is backed
up by absolute proof for every assertion
IL Will not serve To cast shadow
on Miss Borden, much less establish her
guilt IL was Mr.. Moody's duty TO make
his claim as strong as possible. lie ex-
planned that the common nwealth owed it
TO the jury To state its case fully. He
stated Que thing which was new To the
another. The fact he S .atsd was that a
dress had been burned-a dress with
paint all over H." The fact that he

had kept the fan before her face for
fully twenty minutes before 1t fell from

Moody spoke Of the skulls or their

she did not faint then.
The skulls were in valise yesterday
on the table, cut they w re not un-

noticed.
No Friends Present
The absence of Emma and all Of
Lzzie's friends, but Mr.. Buck and Rev.
Mr.. Jubb has caused comment. 1t may
be explained by AN incident that oc-
CURED yesterday. John V. Morse
tried to enter the court room.
but was politely informed that
wit iesses were barred. 1t is also
said that DIR. Wood. who was present for
few nom 'nts, was r quested to wait
outside. Possibly this is che reason wny
Emma is in Fall River instead Of here.
But any one who reads the volumiuous
reports in tue papers of the day will at
ouce understand tue futility OF keeping
the witnesses from the court room DIR.
Dolan, too, sat in the court room all the
morning. Why exclude some and allow
others to enterp
The great question now unsolved is !:
What will Professor Wood say OF the
newly described hatchet Is it rusted
with human blood or waters III with
water did the handle contain blood
stains Answers to these questions are
necessary to the prosecutions claims.
