THE BORDEN MURDER A Hearing in the CaseBegun at Fall River Today. COLLAPSE OF THE STRIKE. Grand Master Sweeney Assaulted by an Angry Switchman. POLITICALEVENTS OFTHE DAY LIZZIE BORDEN’S HEARING. The Court Room at Fall River Crowded To- day. Fart River, Mass. Aug. 25.—The second district court room never before held such a crowd as that which greeted Judge Blaisdell this morning at 10 o'clock. It was the second day agreed upon for the hearing of Miss Lizzie A. Borden on the charge of killing ber father with an ax. Clergymen, laymen, physicians and more than 150 ladies who were ‘not directly connected with the case were seated and stand- ing in all parts of the room, while inside the rail was an extraordinary crowd of reporters and other newspaper workers. Ladies occupied more than two-thirds of the seats ordinarily occupied by the curious gang who usually tlock into the lower courts. The court took an intermission until 10:20 o'clock, at which time the district attorney said he would be ready to commence. At 10:30 o'clock Mr. Charles J. Holmes appeared with Miss Emma Borden on his arm. Following them came Mrs. Mrs, Holmos and the Rev. Mr. Buck. Mise Lizzie Borden came in last with Marshal Hilliard. Miss Borden's face gave evidence of anextreme strain. She was handed to a seat between her two legal advisers and near a settee on which her sister was seated. The two women sat elbow to elbow, Miss Lizzie at her sister's right hand. Not s word passed between them. ‘e ure ready to proceed, your honor,” said District Attorney Knowlton‘nt 10:31 o'clock. Medical Examiner Dolan was called to the stand ‘The witness testified to the position of the bodies of the murdered couple when found and Yosending their stomachs to Prof. Wood of Harvard College for analysis. Mrs. Borden's body was dressed as you would expect a house- wife to be at that time of the day. It had an old handkerchief about the neck that was bloody. Witness did not believe it was tied in a knot and did not remember Whether it was cut or not. ‘THE SCENE OF THE MURDER. Surveyor Kiernan then took the stand. Kiernan submitted plans showing the interior and exterior of the Border homestes d, with measurements of the rooms, description and measurements of the land, height of fences. location of the barn, &c. He saw blood ‘spots and located them in the plans. *A place in the plans showed where a piece of board had been taken from the kitchen. Attorney Adams sharply interrupted to ask what was meant when witness said “there” and referred him to the plans. Witness gave descriptions of the position of the blood spots. Five feet four inches from the sofa there were blood spots on the picture. Mr. Jennings cross-ex- amined the witness. Witness did not notice the direction, character or shape of blood spots. The blood spots on the picture were difficult to find and could be seen only when the light fell on it from a certain poi The piece of wood he saw in the marehal’s office exactly suited the space where a picce was cut from the door. Witness thought from the appearance of the spot of biood on the door casing that it was thrown | from the sitting room toward the kitehen. Wit- ness gave Mr. Jennings a small sketch of the Piece of wood upon which the blood was seen. Witness—“‘The spot was on the dining room side of {the door casing. I did not form any | theory as to bow this blood might have been thrown from an ax in motion from the inside of | the sitting room. There were two spots, one | three-fourths of an inch, the other an inch | west of the crack. Did not see any blood stains on the ceiling. Idid not put upon the plans the pile of boards in the yard near the fence nor in the hay window of the barn.” Jennings —*Would it be diificult for « man to jump the fenze from the pile of lumber? Mr. Knowlton interposed his first objection on the ground that it was merely a matter of | opinion. ‘The judge sustained the objection and Mr. Jennings reformulated his question, which was | again objected to and the objection sustained. Mr. Knowlton suggested that at noon the wit- ness go to the houseand measure the ceiling and the boards and report later. There was a slight | interruption while the plans were shown to the | judge. | Lizzie E. Borden bit at the edge of a palm | leaf, while Emma hid her face bebind a sjn- ilar articie. Dr.Dolan was called back to the stand and the district attorney asked him to describe the ap- pearance of Mr. Borden's body when the cloth Was lifted from the dead man’s-face. A GHASTLY SIGHT. He answered: “It was the most ghastly thing Tever saw.” Mr. Adams objected to such a de- scription, and the witness went on: “The first wound commenced at the angle of the nose on the left side, cut the cheek, lips and chin. The next wound commenced at the frontal bone over the eye, cut the bone clean in | two parta, broke the cheek bone and ebattered | the jaw boue. One of the other cuta showed on the left side of the face. Almost over the ear was a crush wound one and a half inches wide and four inches long which literally smashed the skull. ‘There were ten wounds in all m the face and side of the head, ail of them parallel. Nearly all of them were dvep and cut through the bone. A week after the murder Isaw all the vital organs of the de “What caused Mr. Borden's death?” Witness-—"He died from shock.” ‘The witness then told a story of the blood spots found in the room, saying the side of Mr. | Borden's head und face were cov- ered with blood. ‘The shirt was bloody and the back of his clothes soaked. His head lay not on the arm of the sofa, but im the angle. ‘The blood was not clotted, but fresh and still oozing from the wounds, and the blood stil warm. This was at 11:43, when witness ar- rived at the house. Witness described the various blood spots at length. There were spots on the ceiling, pic- tures, doors and wuil paper. ‘The wounds were made by a sharp instrument, probably by an ax or a hatchet. Witness said’ the wounds could be made by any person of ordinary strength | using moderate force. MADE WITH A SHARP INSTRUMENT. Continuing \Dr. Dolan said: There were eighteen wounds on Mra.

Grand Master Sweeney Examined by the Arbitration Board. Borrato, N. Y., Aug. 25.—At 10:25 this morn- ing the state board of arbitration resumed its hearing into the causes and circumstances of the late switchmen’s strike. A few of the re- cent strikers were present as spectators, Their counsel, Mr. Hynes, took his place and besides the reporters no one else was present at the opening save Mr. Sweeney, who was sworn as & itness, and proceedings began. Mr. Sweeney stated that he had received, at his home in Chicago, notice from the Buffalo switchmen that the railroads here had notified them that the men would in fature be worked upon a per hour basis, and they requested Presence here. Mr. Sweeney camo and ordered the formulation of grievances and ntation. ‘This course having failed, Mr. Sweeney visited the railruad managers in- volved. The Lehigh and Reading system had refused to treat with the switchmen’s repre- sentatives. Mr. Sweeney saw then Mr. Layng of the West Shore, who took a negative position at the out- set and maintained it, Mr. Walters of the Erio would give no definite reply, and Mr. Bell of W. N. ¥. and Pa. road referred’ Mr. Sweeney to officials of the road. id the New York Central refuse to, confer with the representatives of your order?” asked Counsel Hynes, “Thad no reason to know, because I do not represent any men on the Central system.” ‘You mean it is a non-union road. This effectually disposes of repented state- ments that the union had been boneycombiny the Centrai with its men. Chairman Purcell asked how it came that m ack at Rochester, nsion Bridge and Niagara Fails. jose men offered their moral support; that’s why those men struck,” was Mr. Sweenty’s revly. - “You did not send any men or delegation to those points to get men out?” asked Mr. Hynes. “No, I did not.” was the reply. It will be remembered that when a partial strike was inaugurated at Suspension Bridge it was claimed by the Central that a party of Buf- falo strikers appeared in the yard at the bridge at 3 o'clock a.m. and urged out four men. Mr. Sweeney was to name the roads where mon struck for cause and he raid the Lehigh Valley, Buffalo Creek, Frie, Central and West Shore. The sympathetic strikers, he said, were from the Lake Shoro, Nickel Plate, W. N.Y. and Pa., Buffalo, Roches ter and Pittsburg and D., L. and W. ‘The hear- ing then adjourned until 2 o'clock. : ae SOME MEN TO BE TAKEN A Question That is Worrying the Buffalo Strikers Today. Burrato, N. ¥., Aug. 25.—Now that the switchmen’s strike is off the question is worry- ing the men who went out whether the rail- roads will take them back. It was given out last night that on several of the roads an under- standing to that effect had been arrived at. Arbitration Commissioner Donovan is quoted as eaying: “Thad interviews with the super- intendents of the principal roads involved and requested them in the event of the strike being declared off to give employment to as many men who are out on strike as possible. The super- intendents of the Lehigh and Erie assured me that they would do so. Iam not certain about BACK. the Central, but on the other roads where the strike was sympathetic the men will all be taken back without question, Tam sure, except such as have vio- Inted the law and forfeit confidence of their employers by riotous conduct. On these assurances I recommended to Mr. Sweeney that the strike be declared off. Our interview followed the conference which Mr. Sweeney had with Messrs, Sargent, Clark and Wilkinson. | Mr. Sweeney was at firstioth to give up, but after laboring with him for two houre he at Inst consented if he could get the acqaiescence of the local switehmen.”” From other sources it was learned that the Lackawanna people will probably’ take back all their old men. Superintendent Fertneil of the Lehigh Valley when asked if he would take the cld men back replied: “President MeLeod’s circular issued a few days ago holds good now. Init Iam given discretionary power. On our road about | against capital or competing labor euch orgent- seventy-five or eighty men struck. There are now about twenty-five vacancies, We shall look around and see who the men are who have kept away from the yards and have mado no disturbances. These men stand a good chow of getting back.” General Superintendent Bartlett of the Buf- falo, Rochester and Pittsburg said: “We have men engaged and on the way to take the strikers’ places and will have no vagancies, We may take back some of our old men, but it would hardly be consistent. We granted our men everything they asked for, but it seemed they were determined to strike. When they went out I discharged them and told them plainly that they had not acted fairly with the road.” General Superintendent Cunniff of the Lake Shore said: “The relations between the men and the company have always been pleasunt and I regretted that they saw fit to leave the service of the company. | We now have eighty- five men at work. When they were employed it was with the understanding that their plac It would be unfair to these men to discharge them to make room for former employes. ‘They will give us a full force.” General Agent Kniblee of the Buffalo Creek roud is reported as having decided to take back tie men on his road. as the work is such that it requires men of wide experience to handie the work of that road. ‘TROOTS PREPARING TO LEAVE. It is probable that within the next forty- eight hours the troops will be on the homeward march. An order was sent to the commanders of the varions camps early this morning giving directions about how to proceed about breaking camp. ‘There seems to be no chance of a grand military parade here, such as was proposed. Gens. Porter and Doyle think the scheme is not feasible. They do not want to ask the men to | go through a bard day's marching after their trials in camp, aud in the second place the m: jority of the troops will take trains at th Tespéctive camps without coming into the city. ea SWEENEY ASSAULTED. GRAND MASTE! A Savage Striker Vents His Anger on the Head of the Order. Borrato, N. ¥., Aug. 25.—At 11 o'clock this morning Grand Master Sweeney of the Switch- mon’s Union was set upon by Arthur Quinn, one of the striking Nickel Plate switchmen, and brutally assaulted. Mr. Sweeney and seventy- five awitchmen had been attending the investi- gation ordered by the state board of arbitration and had left the hall and were standing at the corner of Swann and Main streets. Quinn ap- roached and told Sweeney he was responsible Yor'the loss of bis job. Before Sweeney had time to answer Quinn dealt him a fearful blow on the head and followed it up with several sledgehammer punches in the face. Sweency fell to the sidewalk and then Quinn kicked him soveral times, Several bystanders interfered and pulled Quinn from Sweeney. Quinn was followed by an sugry mob of strikers. Quinn threatened to kill them if they followed him nd they stopped the chase. Sweeney walked toa drug store and bathed his face. He was unable to tell whether his nose was broken by the force of the blow, but the chances are that it has been. He told a reporter he did not know why Quinn bad hit him, but supposed it was because he had lost his job by the failure of the strike. Mr. Sweeney said it was the first time in the history of the order that he had beon assaulted by @ striker or any member of the switchmen’s organization. He had often heard threats against him, but he had never been touched by a man who was disappointed over the outcome of a strike. The assault, he said, was most cowardly and unprovoked. Quinn has not yet been arrested. ‘The quick covering of Quinn and his rapid isnppearance is construed by some observers as an evidence that the assault on Sweeney was premeditated.

The Prohibition Candidate the First in the Field. Ixpraxapoxis, Ixp., Aug. 25.—The letter of acceptance of John Bidwell of California, can- didate for President on the prohibition ticket, has been given to the Indiana papers for publication. Following are extracts made from the paper: “The liquor trafic is an ‘enormous incubus upon the nation, amount in cost and cor juences to the annual sum not lees than two billions of dollars—four times the amount requ to pay the annual ex- mses of the national government, even under The recent expensive administration, but it is not necessary further to enumerate,sosuffice it tosay the liquor traffic is a standing curse; to public health, the political source of untold fitical corruption, crimes, diseases, degrada- ion and death; a public nuisance and a public immorality; in a word it isan unmit and ‘measureles “Woman suffrage- humanity let not free, enlightened ai tian America longer injure and degrade women. by withholding from her that which is her inalienable right, that which will ele- vate American womanhood, that which will en- large her usefulness; that which will impart to her greater ability to the helper and co-worker with man under all circumstances and con- ditions; that which alone will make woman man's equal before the law and place in her hands the most efficient weapon with which to defend her rights and protect the home. I allude, of course, to that priceless heritage, the ballot. In doing this Americans should lose no time. If we lay England will take the lead in the emancipa- tion of women.

The legal rate of interest on money should be made low and reasonable for the benefit of all classes, oc- cupations and industries and be uniform in all tho states. No man ought to be compelled to Pay exorbitant interest because he is Poor. If his security is doubtful ex- acting from him a high interest will not increase his ability to pay. As a matter of equity all who honestly and promptly py should have the benefit of the legal low rates of interest.

These laws so inimical to American labor and the best interests of all, if not purposely corrected have doubtlessly been kept in force for partisan considerations—for fear of detriment to partisan interests— till our country has become the almost daily scene of riot, lawlessness and bloodshed and not infrequently on such o scale to portend, if permitted to go unchecked, the possible subverision of all authority. Tho discord betweon capital and labor can- not safely be allowed to continue. No mat- ter what the cause it is impossible to remove.

Prize Drilling Today in the Camp at Kansas City. Kansas Crry, Mo., Aug. 25.—From the noise on the streets last night it would be supposed that the Pythian knights would not be in good condition to go through the exercises of the day with any pleasure to themsclves, but at Camp Shaw this morning eversthing was early | The | astir and the campers were ready for the prize drilling. which begun promptly at 9 o'clock. irst drill was a battalion drill and this was followed by regimental and di- vision drills in the order of seniority on entry. ‘The drilling today will continue un- til late in the afternoon, and tonight there will be a grand military display at the park, in which the third regiment, N. G. M., and Pythi- ans will participate. At 9 o'clock the Supreme | Lodge of Pythians went in session at their hall and the Pythian Sisters started on an excursion to Leavenworth, where they will be entertained by the local lodges today, returning this even- ing. ‘The session of the Supreme Lodge will be devoted to a further discussion of the ritual. ‘The supreme meetings of the Pythian Sister- heod were resumed at the Y.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Cuanveston, 8. C., Aug. 25.--The political situation here is very close. The primary elec- tion which takes place next Tucaday is to settle fight within democratic ranks. The conven- tion which is to nominate a state ticket will consist of 320 delegates. At the last election ‘Tillman and his faction had nearly 300 of these, The campaign which closed on 20th inst., however, has developed unusual strength on the part of the conservative democracy and the executive committee of that win; is out in an address today in whicl they claim that the opponents of Gov. Tillman will surely elect 180 and possibly 186 delegates The address says: “We are happy to state that this political hypocrisy will meet its merited fate and the quiet, determined democacy of our state, who have nothing at heart but tho rod of the party and the prosperity of South rolina, will administer to these undemocratic alliatices and their selfish promoters a fitting rebuke on Tuesday next. ‘The issues are plain. The republican party boldly announces to the American people as its leading principles the protective tariff and the force democratic party appeals to the American people in behalf of a reduction of tariff bur- ns to the needs of the government for reve- nue and demands that bod grad shall vote without the interference of the federal govern- ment and the United States marshals.” ‘The Tillmanites profess to be equally sure of the electio: The vote will be very close.

Atzanta, Ga., Aug. 25.—Everything in quiet with the Georgia military and there is no dan- ger of acall to arms. From the latest informa- tion received from the coal mines in Dade county it appears that the exditement about the ‘Tennessee miners _attack- ing the _stockades and _ liberating the convicts originated in a discussion in Ten- neasee as to the possibility of sucha course being taken by Tennemes miners. Reporte received from Tennessee indicate that the minera no such intention, and that the move was never seriously considered.
