DEA CON OFFERE D RELEASE. the Family of M. Abeills Desire to Pre- vent His' Suit for Divorce. PARIS, Aug. 12 ——It is stated that Edward Parker Deacon was offered release from prison on condition that he would leave France forthwith, never to return. Mr. Deacon wro‘e to me prefect of Nice refus- _ ing to accept the altar.

Abeille. They would like to expel Deacon from the . country after his term of imprisonment, but is they have no ground for such action it is feared that it might call forth a moron- strance on the part of the American lega- tion. Therefore the attempt was made to induce Deacon himself to go as a condition of being liberated. - x The Abeille family and their influential connections are busily engaged in endeavor- ing to prevent Deacon from having any fur- ,ther opportunity to air his grievances, and have, it is said, succeeded in completely gaining over the highest authorities of the- republic on their side. On the other hand, the. sympathy of foreigners, bothin Paris, N ice and elsewhere, is strongly with Dea- con. Mr. Deacon’s suit for divorce will come up on Sept. 23, and there is every in- dication that it will be sharply contested.

Medical Examination May Direct Suspicious from the Family. ANOTHER AUTOPSY MADE. The Evidence Thus Far Points to II Member of the ‘Housohold ‘us '7‘ Guilty Flirty—What Superintend- ent Byrnos Thinks About It. FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. l2.—The Bor- den inquest was resumed this morning. Charles Sawyer, who guarded the door of the house while Ofler'Allen ran to the Central station, was the firstwitness. He testified that he ran to the house when he saw Mrs. Russell running, and that he was with Ofiicer Doherty and a United Press reporter when Dr. Bowen discovered that Mrs. Borden did not die of heart disease. Officer George Allen was called and testi- fied to having seen Mr. Borden lying on the sofa stabbed, as he supposed. His story added no new light to the crime. Mrs. Perry Gifford was being examined at 19 .o’clock. . Last night Ofiicer Harrington went to ' Boston to identifya suspect answering a description of a. “wild looking man” seen last Thursday morning by the doctor as he was driving by the Borden house. The sus- pect was not the man. The police have also run down a. suspect who boarded the New Bedford train’at Mount Pleasant and rode into the city. He proved an alibi eas- il . y Three Claws Being Run Down. . Marshal Hilliard this morning submitted toaninterview. In answer to a question asto whether or not the police had given up all hopes of locating a murderer outside of the Borden family he said the question was nonsensical, but he would answer by saying that three clews were already being run down and none of them would in any way implicate a member of the household. He said he had not been stinted in money nor men by the city government because of political complications. He was not hunting clews personally, be- cause the district attorney required his presence at the inquest. But the detectives worked most of the night and reported to him, and he was willing to say that close medical examinations and their results would be a feature of the case and that it might turn out that suspicion would be di- rected from the Borden family. It has been proved that the suspected poisonous milk drank by the Borden family was all right when it was taken from the Borden farm and brought to this city. Members of the family in charge of the farm drank it, and they were affected in no noticeable way. Points to a Member of the Household. Mrs. George Whitehead, a stepsister of the deceased woman; Mrs. Tripp, a neigh- bor, and Miss Russell, who was placed in charge of the household, .were examined as to the relations of the members of the family. ,The deposition of Mrs. Hiram C. Harrington was also taken. The inquest was then adjourned until 2 o’clock. The evidence thus far points to a member of the household as a guilty party, and rumors of 'an early arrest are very prevalent. This forenoon’ Medical Examiner Dolan visited Oak Grove cemetery and made further autopsy. , A second autopsy was held in the ladies’ waiting room at Oak Grove cemetery this morning. Mrs. Borden’s body was ex- amined first. The new fact discovered was a bruise on the back near the left shoulder about the width of an ax and shaped like the head of an ax. It gives another clew to the exact position held by Mrs. Borden when the deed was committed. 'At 2:10 the examining physicians were at work on Mr. Borden’s body. The physicians who are at work are Dr. Draper, of Boston, and Medical Examiner Dolan and Drs. Leary and Cone, of this city. Superintendent Byrnes' Opinion. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—“N ow in the Bor- den afiair a. great deal has been made of the fact that in the examination Lizzie Borden has made several changes in her story—for instance, as to where she was when the murder was committed and the time she was absent. Would it not be 'natural for an innocent person, placed under such strict surveillance as she, to become confused and make misstatements?” was asked Superin- tendent Byrnes. “W,hy, for that matter, I frequently find proof of innocence in a confusion of state- ments,’.’ answered the superintendent. “It is next to impossible for a person who has not rehearsed a. story to repeat it verbatim. In questioning accused persons here at police headquarters I regard it rather as a proof ,of guilt than of innocence if a man tells us a story twice in precisely the same way. It shows that he has rehearsed it. On the other hand, an innocent person is sure to makesome variation in it. “Such has often been my experience. Frequently, after hearing the story of an accused person, I have turned the conver- sation into another channel and then' re- turned to it and made some excuse to have the story repeated. I have often in such cases found that the two versions varied remarkably, yet I have also found that the persons tellin'g these conflicting stories were innocent. Therefore, in the case to which you refer, I should not regard‘such discrep- ancies in the witness’ statements as any proof of guilt.” First Rain in Three Years.

The gathering of the mob at Memphis caused the quick delivery of King to the prison authorities. Cleveland’s Letter. NASHVILLE, Aug. 12.—Among the docu- ments filed with Governor Buchanan in reference to the H. Clay King case is the following: GRAY GAnLus, Bowman‘s BAY. July 2!. Mrs. E. X. White: . DEAR MADAM—I sympathize ‘with you deep- ly and sincerely in the conviction of your uncle. Iknow but little of the facts in his case. but confess that my slight information on the sub- Ject led me to suppose that enough of mitiga- tion would be shown upon his trial to reduce the grade of offense below that of the highest known to our law. , I have been so moved by your appeal that I have seriously considered whether there was not something I might do to help you. I am forced to the conclusion, however, that I ought not to interfere by applying to the governor for the mitigation of the sentence pronounced upon your uncle. Such an application on my part Would be based only upon the sympathy which I feel for you, and my experience teaches me that such a consideration ought not to con- trol executive action in cases of this kind. Notwithstanding this, I feel that there are circumstances in you: uncle‘s case which ought to appeal strongly to the pardoning power, and I earnestly hOpe that such representations may be made to your governor as will avert the ex- ecution of the death sentence which has been pronounced. Very truly yours, Gnovnn CLEVELAND. Governor Buchanan’s Statement. A reportor saw Governor Buchanan this morning and asked if the governor would give his reasons for commuting Colonel King’s sentence. “With pleasure," said the governor, “and I will do it briefly“ First I thOught that King should have had a change of venue. Amdavits to the eflect that Juror Smith had communicated with outside parties and expressed an opinion about the case were filed with me. These affidavits could not be introduced in the court of record because it was too late. “The action of Juror Mustin and of the jury in going to Arkansas to deliberate upon the case had their weight, too; the dissension of the supreme judges in the de- fense of partial insanity; the pleadings of his wife and children and the most promi« nent men of the country, besides the hun- dreds ( 3 letters and petitions—those were my reasons for commuting the sentence. “I am responsible for my action,” said the governor. “I thought I was doing right and acted according to my belief.” He, then handed to the reporter a petition for the commutation signed by twenty-six United States senators and congressmen. Harry Kernell’s Mind Unbalanced. New YORK, Aug. 12.—N6WS comes from Asbury Park that Harry Kernell, the noted Irish comedian, has become mentally un- balanced, to the great concern of his rela- tives and friends at that watering place.
