GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF LIZZIE BORDEN

O NE of the most shocking tragedies that has ever occurred in the New England States was the double murder of Andrew J. Borden and his wife, at Fall River, Mass, on Au- gust 4, 1892. They were killed in their home in Second street. and both bodies had been frightfully mutilated. MT Bor- dens body was found on the first floor, while Mrs. Borden's was found in her own chamber on the upper floor.
 Mir. Borden was a wealthy real estate
 owner, banker and mill man. He had heen seen on the street only half an hour before the tragedy occurred. An inves- tigation was at once started and on the day following an advertisement was in- serted in the local newspapers by the two daughters of the murdered couple, Em-
 ma l.. and Lizzie D. Borden, offering a
 reward of 5000 for the arrest and con- viction of the 1nurderers. The two daugh- ters made their home with their parents at the time of the murder but Emma was away on visit. Lizzie was at home, but claimed sine was in the garden when the murder occurred and the only other per son in the house was servant girl, Bridget Sullivan. The murdered Bordens were buried on August G. Twenty-four
 hours each day police and detectives were working on the case
 For some time many persons advanced the double suicide theory, as the daush- ter in the garden would have heard the murderer if it was case of murder This
 was dispelled by the fact that no weapons were found near the bodies, but later two axes and two hatchets were discovered in the cellar with stains of blood upon them, which confirmed the murder the ory.
 Suspicion was first created against Liz zie Borden, the youngest daughter, when in search of the premises two days later she refused 10 allow the authorities to make an examination of her room. The first indication that there would be an arrest in the case was on August 10 when Lizzie was closely questioned, the answers she gave being unsatisfactory
 She was taken into custody the following day and on August 12 she was arraisnetl at the Second district court room. She was accompanied to the proceedings by
 Rev. E. A. Buck, the Congregational minister, whose church the Bordens at Tended. She pleaded not guilty in voice that rang out clear and audible all over the still room. After the court proeeed- iEgs Lizzie was taken into an ante-room where she had passed the previous night.

and from there was transferred ;o tho Taunton jail
 Miss Borden was given a preliminary hearing on August 25. The case was car ried on for several days On the second day, Bridget Sullivan gave some damag- ing evidence against the accused daugh- ter She stated that there was no stranger in the house and the only occupants at the time of the murder were MT. and Mrs Borden, Lizzie and herself It was brought out that the daughter had told conflicting stories as to her absence from the house to the barn at the time of the crime This preliminary trial was closed on September l, when the venerable Judge Blaisdell directed that Miss Borden be returned to Taunton jail to stand trial murder of her parents
 The final trial was postponed from time to time and did not begin until May $, 1895 in the superior court of the state at the time in session in New Bedford, Mass. There were three indictrlents against her, two of which were for the murder of her parents separately. and the third charging her with the murder of them both.
 The trial was conducted without inter- ruption through the rest of May rad through June up to the 20th. Ex-Governor Robinson of Massachusetts was chief counsel for the defendant, and it was probably through his instrumenta!ity that the prisoner was so easily acquitted Lv the jury.
 = It required only 12 good men and .rue'' to find the prisoner innocent after one hour and 2 minutes deliberation. When the verdict was rendered for fully 60 sec onds there was not a sound, then the crowd of 1000 men and women broke 70 a cry of joy and approval that rang far outside and told the waiting thousands that Lizzie Borden was free woman.
 Lizzie had stood while the foreman spoke. When he had finished she started. stepped forward put out her arms as if she would throw them about the neck of MT. Robinson, and then sank to the floor an inanimate mass of overstruns, ex- iausted humanity
 She left the courtroom and shortly aft elMard took train for Fall River, ac- eompaned by her 0ster, her pastor and many relatives and friends. The recep- ton at home, under the circumstances, was also cordial. The prisoner spent the first night at the home of friend, but the second day she and her sister took up again their residence in their old home on Second street in the house pregnant with dreadful memories.

NO MORE CARICATURE

From the WasHlnBtUH Stdr'
 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, during his re- cent visit to New York. said to New York reporter:
 .'English authors nowadays sell better in America. as a rule, than at home. A sale of 10000 volumes is extraordinary at home, but here sale of 100000 is hardly extraordinary
 "One consequence Of this fact Is the dis appearance from English fiction of the American girl caricature. The American girl in English fiction today is, if any thing, over-fiattered. But in the English fiction of yesterday the American girl was of the type that says:

Liverpool Post and Mercury, August 27- Civilians are often heard birding them selves that in staying at home and help ing the country in it's usual grooves of commerce and industry they are taking almost as serious risks and performing as patriotic a service as the man who sup-- ports his country in the battlefield. It is a plausible argument, and would in deed be an unanswerable argument if risks were really taken and public serv- ice were really performed. There is little sign of either, however, in company direc- tors who withhold from their sharehold- CTS dividends earned and declared before the war commenced, and thus keep out of circulation business profits which in the ordinary course would go to swell the volume of trade, Still less sign is there in certain instances of trading self
 shness--to put it mildly-that were brought to the notice of the chancellor of the exchequer yesterday. It is quite sickening to hear of persons who are quite solvent taking advantage of the moratorium because of the low rate of interest at which bills can be renewed. Such people are enemies pf their country in a double and very contemptible sense, for they not only add to the general bur dens of the whole community, but by refusing to pay their creditors, who. in consequence, are unable to pay weekly

Interesting Data on Bread, Making

"The bread question is so all im- portant at this time that anything bearing on 1t should prove of inter- est said Percy Clark.
 "The price of flour has placed the bakers in very serious and trying position. The flour used for white bread is costing s7 per barrel. My baker tells me that he secured some whole wheat flour in New Orleans at s9 per barrel, He still sells the loaf at 10 cents.
 What I was most impressed with in these times. when the carmine colors of war stain the rich carpets of green grass in the fields of Europe with the blood of prince and peasant. artist and artisan; where the holocaust of War is consuming brains and brawn and splendid manhood, is that the cry for bread is not so great as it would be, but for the vast fields of golden grain garnered in the west. and but for the cotton fields of the south Bread making requires grease, To make grease for the Jewish race, free from hog fat, oil is used--at one time olive oil. Today French bread is made by the bakers for the Jewish trade espe- clally-that is, neither pure lard nor compound is used-with oil, refined cotton seed oil.
 And more: With hog products soar ing, except lard, because of cotton seed oil, the bakers use compound'--part hog fat and part cotton seed oil-for our ordinary bread, called by many names, but all containing the same in : gredients. flour. milk and compound.

 Six months ago l would have been willing to bet that the democratic ms jorlty in the next House of Represen- tatives would be greatly reduced, but now | think it a safe bet that the democrats will win a majority almost as great as that of the present House
 T have usually voted the democratic ticket, but have not been very ar- dent party man in national politics. I voted for Wilson because I had taken part in the primary in MT. Underwood's s behalf, and therefore was in honor bound to vote for the nominee of the party, but I had misgivings. I thought MT Wilson was too much of school teacher to be very much of a Pres ident. But he has been an agreeable surprise. While he is a man of let ters and one of the greatest in the lit- erary realm he has also proved himseif a practical man of affairs. He knows great deal about business, and has made an excellent impression on lead ing business men who conferred with him during the summer.
