MATRON REAGAI‘I’S STORY DENIED.
Witnesses Assert That the Matron Was
Prevented from Signing a Denial by
IIIaI-shal Hilliard—llfiss Emma Tells of
the Burning of the Paint Stained Dress.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June lit—There
was less of a crowd at the court house at
the res Imption of the Borden trial than
thereh .5 been at any time since the be-
ginning ‘of the trial.
The decision relative to the admission of
the evidence of the Portuguese who saw
the man with the bloody hatchet was in
order the first thing, and after the jury
had been polled. counsel entered into a
ponsultation with the justices upon some
points which the latter desire made more
clear.
Following this the court said it was
clear that the evidence offered on the head
above ref'crred to could not be admitted,
and Mr. , Jennings desired exceptions
noted, at the same time stating that he
would put in writing just what he in-
tended to show. '
Mrs. Mary R. Holmes, a neighbor and
member of the church which Miss Borden
attended, was the first important witness;
She told of her visit to the house when she
heard of the murder and the arrival of Dr.
Bowen and Oflicer Fleet. She proceeded:
“When Fleet came in he asked Lizzie some
questions, and Lizzie said she wished he
wonld be quick about it, for she was very
tired. having answered a great «many
questions. She told about going to the
barn and looking after the lead. Then the
ofiicers proceeded to search the room and
had Lizzie’s free consent, and they made
what I should call a thorough search.”
\Vhen asked if Lizzie shed tears when
viewing her father’s body the witness re-
plied in the affirmative.
Emma L. Borden, sister of Lizzie Bor-
den, was then called and testified as
follows:
“\Ve have lived in the house we now
live in twenty—one years last May. At the
time of the murder Lizzie was possessed
of property as follows: One hundred and
seventy dollars in the l}. M. C. Safe De-
posit and Trust company, $2,000 in the
Massasoit National bank, $500 in the Union
Savings bank, {111 in the Fall River Five
Cents Savings bank, and nine shares of
the Merchanbs’ Manufacturing company
stock.
“My father wore a ring on his finger
given him by Lizzie. She had worn it her-
self before.
and it was buried with him. Ihave an in-
ventory of the clothes in the closet on the
afternoon it was searched, made up about
aweek ago from my recollection. There
were eighteen or nineteen dresses there,
but only one belonged to Mrs. Borden, the
others being Lizzie's and mine. I was
there when the search was going on. Lizzie
and Iboth went to the attic to assist in
opening trunks; 'we never made the slight
est objection to their searches, and told
them to come as often as they could and
make as thorough search as they could.
“The Redford cord dress was made the
first week in May. It was a very cheap
one and plainly trimmed. Lizzie and I
assisted in making it, as we always did.
The dre§smaker made several for us at the
dame time. Lizzie got some paint on this
dress within two weeks after it was made.
That dress was hanging in the front closet
on the day I came home. I said to Lizzie,
‘You haven’t destroyed that old dress yet.
\Vhy don’t you do so?’ It was very dirty,
badly faded, and I don’t remember having
' seen her use it for some time.
“She. had no other dress which she could
have go: on over that dress, because they
were made too'snug. She could not have
had it on under the pink wrapper, because
it would have shown. The next I saw of
the Bedford dress, I was in the kitchen on
Saturday when I heard my sister’s voice; I
logkcd around and saw her with the dress
on her arm. She said, ‘I’m going to burn
this old dress,’ and I said, ‘1 would’ or
‘why don’t you,’ and turned away. I did
uo'thsee her burn the dress. Miss Russell
. was there at the time.”
lVitncss was asked: “What happened
next in reference to this dress, after the
burning? Was anything said by Miss
Russell in regard to this dress?”
“Yes. On Monday Miss Russell came
to us in the dining room and said she had
told Mr. Hanscom a falsehood, and I
asked her what that was for. She said he
asked her if all the dresses were in the
house that were there at the time of the
murder, and she said yes. Then it was de-
cided between us all that she go and tell
Mr. Hanscom she had told a falsehood.
My sister said at the time: ‘Why didn’t
you tell him about it? Why did you let
me do it?’
“I remember the story about the quar-
rel between my sister and I. It was told
me by you (Mr. Jennings) the morning
the story was published. I never'had any-
such conversation with my sister as was
reported. There was never any trouble or
quarrel in the matron’s room between
us while she was there, or anything that
could be construed into a quarrel.” VVit-
ness contended that the relations between
Lizme and Mrs. Borden were entirely cor-
dial. She said that the breach caused by
the giving of propertyto her,stepmother

corned, although it was on Lizzie’s part.
She knew of no enemy her stepmother had
in the world. 'j“I never have seen the han-
' . dleless hatchet, and I don’t know anything .
about it. I don’t remember ever seeing
but one hatchet, and I can’t describe it to
on. ' - - .
y“No interview whatever took place be.
tween Lizzie and me as stated by Mrs. '
Reagan. I only remember Mr. Jennings
saying when he came in that he would like
to see my sister at once. I don’t remember
saying anything in particular. There was
nothing but ordinary conversation.”
Mrs. Mary A. Raymond, E dressmaker
of Fall River, testified: “I have done dress-
making for Lizzie Borden at her home. I
went to the house the first week in May,
1892, and was there three weeks. The Bed
ford cord dress I made first because Lizzie
needed it. The painters were painting the
house when Lizzie was wearing the dress,
and she put it on as soon as it was done. I
'saw the dress after it was ‘painted.’ She
could not get that dress on under any other
dress.” _
Mrs. Bowen, wife of Dr. Bowen, testified
that there was no blood on defendant or
on her garments when she saw her the day
of the murder.
Mrs. Brigham was recalledand testified
that by experiment in the Borden house
she found that a, person standing, in the
upper hall could not see a person lying in
the 'guest‘ room, where Mrs. Borden was
found. and that the front door spring look"
was not sure to work unless the door was
shut hard. ~ .
Miss White, the Bristol county court
stenographer, read parts of Bridget Suli—
van’s testimony at the inquest in which
she swore that Lizzie was crying when she
first saw her after the murder, and part of
Fleet’s testimony contradicting a. state-
ment made by him at this trial.
Here the defence rested, at 3:15, and the
government asked, for fifteen migutes to
prepare for the introduction of testimony
in rebuttal. '. .
In rebuttal Refus B. Hilliard said he
first heard of the quarrel matter, and went
to see Mrs. Reagan at her home about 9
o’clock that same evening. Continuing
the witness said: “The next afternoon at
the close of the hearing Mrs. Reagan came
to my Office with Mr. Buck, who had a
paper in his hand. Mrs. Reagan took a
seat outside the rail. Mr. Buck came in-
side and showed me the paper, stating that
Mrs. Reagan was willing to sign it if I
would let her. I glanced at the paper and
then ether and said, ‘If you sign this you
do so in direct opposition to my orders.’
Then I told her to go to her room and at-
tend to her duty. There was a gentleman
and lady there besides. I think they were
connected with some paper. He was
asked if in any way he had sought to have
Mrs. Reagan say or do anything in this
matter which was not correct, but the
question was objected to and excluded.
This closed the evidence on both sides.
The chief justice then addressed the
jury, saying that all the evidence was in,
but that it was necessary owing to the im—
portance of the case that the counsel have
reasonable time to prepare the arguments.
Adjournment was then taken until Mon-
day.
FEARS OF AN OUTBREAK.
Striking Poles at Tonawanda Threaten
Trouble—The Military Ready.
TONAWANDA, N. Y., June lit—Not a
stroke of work is being done on the lum-
ber docks here and serious trouble is mo-
mentariy expected. An excited crowd of
fully 800, mostly striking Poles and union
lumber shovers, throng the entrance to
the bridge leading to Little Island. The
situation is so threatening that the sheriff
has ordered the Twenty-seventh Separate
Company to be in readiness for immediate
action. About half of the Poles went on
the island, intending to go to work, but
they were threatened by the others and
gave up to their comrades. All have now
demanded their pay. Deputies are now
guarding the entrance to the bridge and
will let no striker over. The strikers are
.uneasy and show signs of fight. A meet-
ing was held yesterday, attended by 300
Poles, but the proceedings were secret.
Squads of Poles and strikers are patroling
the streets. An outbreak seems imminent.
Tonawanda saw the beginning of the
rioting yesterday, and only the quick re-
sponse of the soldiers to a call for help pre-
vented bloodshed. It is a. curious factor of
’ the case that the present trouble, although
fomeuted and urged on by the Union Lum-
ber Shovers, who have been locked out all
the season, is occasioned by the Poles from
Buffalo who had taken their places. It is
not felt that the danger 'of bloodshed is
over by any means. -
Mrs. Cleveland's Trip to Buzzards' Bay.
WASHINGTON, J une 17.——It is impossible
to ascertain definitely at the Executive
Mansion whether the president will accom-
pany Mrs. _Clrveland to Gray Gables cot-
tage, Buzzards’ Bay, Mass, next week.
The president himself has not yet decided.
The probabilities are that he will not go.
Mrs. Bissell. wife of the postmaster gen-
eral, will, it is understood, make the jour-
ney with Mrs. Cleveland. It is just possi-
ble that the president may make the trip
all the way or only go as far as New York
city. The president does not expect to join
her at Gray Gables for any lengthy stay
until the middle of July.
Gettysburg Vandals Resume Work.

stant interference. The matter has been
Teferred to the proper officials for an
opinion as to the right of the government
to interfere.

his own police and is now under their pro-
tection. He also says that the Indians still

Ford’s Theater Contractor Threat-
ened withInsanity.
THE GORONER’SFINQUBST RESUMED.
All the Evidence Points to the Belle!
That the Disaster Was the Result of
instntes. an Afflicted Father.
WASII:NGTON,June 17.—Contra.ctor Dant,
who was doing the work which resulted.
‘inthe collapse of Ford’s theater, is in a
serious condition, and it is feared that his
mind will be affected by the disaster.
Ever since the accident he has been a. sick
man, his malady attacking the brain
rather than the body. Once or twice he
left his residence with plans of wOrk he
had underway, but was compelled to re-
turn to his home. ' W'henever spoken to
about the calamity he would break down
completely and cry like a child. His con-
dition the past three or four days has been
so serious-that the doctor has prohibited
his leaving the house and denied the pres-
ence of all save the members of his family.
The subject of the accident is positively
prohibited. Mrs. Dant said that her hus‘
band was very despondent, and that the
accident preyed upon his mind to such an
extent that she feared permanent injury
would result. The report on the street
was that Mr. Dant had gone crazy.
AT THE CORONER’S INQUEST.
Inspector Entwistle Declares That Im-
perfect Material Was Used. .
WASHINGTON, June 17.—The usual crowd
was in attendance when Coroner Patter-
sOn began the second day’s inquest over
the bodies of the victims who were killed
in the Ford’s theater disaster. Thomas
. C. Entwistle, inspector of buildings for the
Districtof Columbia, testified that at the
request of the jury he had made an inspec-
tion of the ruined building, and it was his
I opinion that the mortar used had too
much sand and not enough cement, and
the brick work was badly done. The great
trouble with the work was in not having
some expert to attend to the whole matter.
Mr. Sasse, the engineer of the theater
building, was recalled and asked to pro—
duce the plans which he drew for the elec-
tric lighting plant; which he did, with ex-
planations.
Augustus Davis, a builder, and an un-
successful bidder for the eleCtric lighting
plant work. said he thought the plans, for
the work were such that no man could
form from them an intelligent idea. of what
was wanted. He had told Captain Thorpe,
chief of the supply division of the war de-
partment, that the work was dangerous.
Nothing was contained in the specifications
that provided" for supporting "the upper
floors during the excavating work. In his
Opinion no reasonably intelligent man
would have attempted to do the work
without ,shoring. He said he had told
Contractor Simms before Captain Thorpe
that if the contract were let to some d—n
fool he might 'pull down the building.
. William G. Covert, superintendent of
L the/old theater building, was called. At-
torney Thomas told Mr. Covert that he
had been called to see if he wished to make
a statement, and Mr. Covert declined the
offer. He. had nothing to do with the
work, he said, and, in fact, knew nothing
- about such matters.
testified that'any man in his right senses
would not have done such work asthat be.
1 5w neath the theater without shoring, that a.
competent draughtsman should have
drawn the plans, and that an expert should
have superintended the work, according
to custom, the jury adjourned at 4:20
o’clock, until today, when _it_ ’is expected
1 the inquiry will be concluded. '7 '
. Among the victims of the Ford’s theater
disaster was the son of John A. Daly, an
ex—soldier from. Pennsylvania, employed
as a watchman in the interior department.
Mr. Daly was discharged some days ago,
but ‘ when Secretary Smith learned that
young Daly had been killed in the theater
'wreck, and that the family might suffer
by reason of the father’s dismissal, he im-
mediately orderedhis reinstatement.
