AERIAL GAMBLING .
DEN FOR GERMANS !
Berlin GameSters Plan a Monte
Carlo In Balloon.

Berlin. Owing to the increased strin-

laws, some ingenious managers at
Frankfort and Dresden have launched
the following idea. which frees the
gambling dens of any police domicili-
ary visits. ..., .-.,... &C.,.
A company has been formed by these
enterprising gentlemen. and an old
Zeppelin dirigible balloon is to be pur
chased by them. In the interior of
the gondola of the airship a gambling
room will be arranged. and gambling
will take place there at several thou
sand feet up in the air. This will
make the gambling absolutely free of
police interference, as laws do not
foresee the possibility of Of aerial gam
bling. .a... .
The scheme is eagerly discussed in
German gambling circles. and it is un-
derstood that conference of the lead
ing police projects Of the largest cit
les in Germany will be summoned to
Berlin to determine what measures
shall be taken to meet the emergency.
The question raised is whether the
police will be allowed to shoot down
any airship which is used for illegal
purposes.

Silence Of Twenty Years Broken
In Sensational Case.

Fall River. Mass.-Miss Emma Bor-

when she declared her positive belief
In the Innocence Of her sister, Miss
Lizzie Borden. who was tried and ac-
quilted in 1898 Of the charge of mur-
dering their father, Andrew J. Borden,
and his second wife "
Her statement is the first one of a
public nature that either sister has
made regarding one of the most nota-
BILE murder mysteries in New England
Eight years ago Miss Emma Borden
quit the mansion where she and her
sister were living and made her home
with friends This move caused an
estrangement. and since then the two
women have not met or communicated
with each other
The Borden murder was the sensa-
ton Of twenty years ago. and, although
the authorities did everything they
could to untangle the mystery. it never
has been solved.
Andrew j. Borden was we'll to do
but miserly farmer of Fall River. He
lived with his wife and two adult
daughters, Lizzie and Emma. On
Aug. 4. 1892. he and his wife were
found in their home in separate rooms
murdered apparently by some heavy,
sharp instrument presumably an ak
The police Of Fall River produced
evidence that Lizzie was the only per-
son who had been in the house during
the day. Mr.. Borden left an estate of
about $500O00, and she stood to profit
by his death. 1t was shown that once
she had made an attempt to purchase
prussfc acid. She was arrested and
put on trial.
The trial was at New Bedford and
lasted sixteen days. The girl was ed
ucated. with. a sincere personality.
and, while Qo direct proof was fur
nished against her. the state present
ed q strong circumstantial case. The
Jury acquitted her after an hours de-
liberation. =
The ten months intervening between
the murder and trial only served to
deepen the mystery. Borden had a
good reputation for probity. No enc
mics were found. and no cause why
any one should murder him was ascer-
tained. s K
