THE BORDEN CASE.
Opinions Expressed in Portland As to Her
Guilt or Innocence.

The Boston Journal has been inter
viewing police authorities and lawyers
in the various cities of New England as
to their opinions of Lizzie Bordens
guilt or innocence. This is what the
Journal gets from Portland:
City Marshal Henry S. Tricky SAYS
that in his opinion Lizzie Borden will be
acquitted, not only because she cannot
be justly condemned on the evidence
presented but because she is, guiltless of
the crime. The marshal has been con-
fined to his house by illness for week
and has had opportunity to study the
case.
Hon. Josiah H. Drummond, one of
Names leading jurists, says that in his
opinion Lizzie Borden will be cleal ed
and that no testimony has thus far been
adduced that a jury can conscientiously
receive as proof of any crime on her
part. Regarding her innocence, Mr..
Drummond was not prepared to state an.
opinion. He said that reading the testi-
mony offered at trial can scarcely
afford all the light that presence in the
court room can.

How the Thief Must Kick Himself.

Herman Stone, the pawnbroker and
jeweler, was looking over lot of unre-
deemed pledges yesterday when he
found something which made his hair
fairly stand on end. About year ago
a young man called at the store of Mr..
Stone and said he desired to borrow
some money from the Office on some per-
sonal property. The property consisted
of valise, an overcoat, suit Of cloth
ing and a gold watch. The amount
loaned on the. goods was $45, and the
man who secured the loan said that he
would call in the course Of few days
and redeem the property. The goods
were placed in the vault and have re-
manned there undisturbed ever since.
When the musty old satchel was taken
out Of the vault yesterday it was found
to be in the same condition as it was at
the time it was placed in the room for
safe keeping. The clothing had been
made into separate package. The va
lise was broken open, and inside was
found red leather belt considerably the
worse for wear. The belt was taken
out. and in handling it was noticed that
it was very heavy and had little pockets
along the side.
Mr.. Stone took the belt out into the
front room of the store and opened the
pockets. Out rolled gold pieces, double
eagles, to the number Of 81. They were
as bright and shiny as the day they were
taken from the mint, and they looked as
though they had just been taken from
the bank. The coins were all of the
same date, 1890. The money legally be-
longs to the finder unless some person
from whom it was taken, as it was APP
parently stolen, proves his property

Successful Opening of the Commencement
Week at Gorham.
The Gorham Normal School had very
fine day Sunday for the first of the exer-
cises of the graduating season. A beau
tiful June morning, perfect in sky and
air, gave life, joy and vigor in mere liv-
ing. The sermon before the graduating
class was by Rev. Mr.. Reynolds, in the
Congregational church. A union SER
vice of the two churches was held, Rev.
Mr.. Strout Of the Methodist church con
Quoting the preliminary service in most
impressive and happy manner. The SER
mon was on the law of Christian devel-
opment ''that he who will be first in the
kingdom of Christ shall be last of all
and servant of all.'' The thought was
finely wrought out and eloauently and
impressively delivered, The music, un-
der the direction Of Mr.. Hinkley, was
very fine. The school occupied the CEN
trail part of the church, and seemed fully
attentive to the service. The church
was we'll filled.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the exer-
cises are to be continued in accordance
with the programme previously pub
lished. On Tuesday evening, Rev. DR..
Fem of Portland delivers an address be-
fore the alumni, and poem written by
Mrs. Kate Stone Cook, graduate of the
school, now living at Warren, R. l., will
be read by Miss Kilby, of the graduating
class.
An important meeting of the board of

for school purposes in the near future.

M1DAIR MONEY ROBBERY.
The Woman Aerialist Held Up at
the State Pair Grounds.

Mrs. Romig, nee Hazel Keyes, the
female balIoonist who has been giving
exhibitions at the State Fair grounds
was brutally robbed Of $40 IS Sunday
evening at $50 o'clock. Her
coat containing her purse with all the
money on her person was violently
torn from her by q fOOtpad who was
evidently acquainted with her move
ments and lying in wait to accomplish
the crime.
Mrs. Romig, the victim Of this dss-
tardly assault, had left the balloon in
care Of her husband to go to the pavll-
ion building to change her clothing
The cars had all left the grounds with
the crowd and the place was nearly
deserted. Just as she came out of the
building q low, stout, hesvy-set,
smooth-faced man came up behind and
sprang upon her, saying: II have just
been laying for your He seized her
by the collar Of her dress and coat,
threw her backward upon the floor,
tore her clothing 10 his effort to get of
her coat, which be succeeded in doing,
and ran away.
He rified the pockets and threw the
oat away about 50 yards from where
be left her. Mrs. Romig screamed but
got no assistance and no further
violence was attempted. She saw a
man standing about 100 feet away and
called to him to catch the thief bat be
paid no attention and was apparently
a confederate on guard, as he ran in an
opposite direction from which the thief
had taken and both had disappeared
10 the darkness. In response to her
cries her husbOnd came as quickly as
he could to her rescue but not In time
to stop the thieves, who had escaped in
the timber near by.
A crowd Of men started in pursuit
but it was impossible to follow the rob
bers. Mrs. Romig was evidently robbed
by some one familiar with her babit
and movements and who had seer
where she carried her purse. Severa
men who had helped hold the balloon
while it was being inflated resemble
The robbers and it is barely possible
may be overtaken by the police. Mrs
Romig arrived from the fair grounds il
rhe city about eight o'clock last night
She was considerably excited ant
showed signs of having been pretty
roughly handled, bet in all showe'
great pluck under the circumstances.
