New Bzprorp, Mass., June 8, 1898.—Dr. Bowen was the first witness in the Borden case today. He isa gentle-speaking man, and his recollections of what transpired when he was called to the scene of the murder proved very cles He did, however, waver when asked whether the dress exhibited in court was the one Lizzie had on when he first saw her. At the inquest he said he thought the dress she wore was a “sort of drab.” ‘Today he refused to be be positive on any- | thing, so that the dress question will have to reston the unsupported testimony of Mrs. Churchill. Lawyer Adams, for the defense, made a neat hit when he drew from the doctor the fact that ; he prescribed for Lizzie immediately after the killizg. He gave her bromo caffeine, on Thursday one-eighth of a grain, on Friday double that one, Saturday, and so on, a double dose every day till after the inquest. Then the colonel made a point “Does morphine give people hallucinations and alter their views and ways of looking at things?” “It does.” “And she was taking this double dose of this poison all the time, even after her arrest?” tively Lizzie bad ou when she saw her immediately She said positively that Lizzie wore on the morning of the murder » light blue dress of calico or cambric, with | darker diamond small figures of biue ground work. ‘Then the district attorney took the dark bine dress with white figures upon it from the trunk. and holding it up said: “Is this the ‘No, Gov.

THE JUDGES TWO TO ONE. Justices Woods and Jenkins Favor Shutting the World’s Fair Gates, While Justice Crosscup Dissents—An Appeal Taken by the Directoms, Cuicago, June 8.—The federal court by a taajority of two to one decided this morning to grant the injunction prayed for by the district attorney to restrain the local directory from opening the world’s fair gates on Sunday. Judges Woods and Jenkins favored the clos- ing of the gates while Judge Crosscup held the contrary opinion. The court room was crowded to suffocation with “closer” and “anti-closers” when the three judges took their seats on the bench. Judge Woods announced that each member of the court would deliver his own opinion. “‘It is a matter of regret that we have not had time to reduce our decisions to writing.” said he, “and each one of us will speak for himself.” In brief’ Judge Woods held that tho gov- ernment was in absolute possession of Jackson park and had the right to make whatever rule it pleased concerning the manage- ment of the fair: that the Sun- day closing rule had not been law- fally repealed, and that it was the duty of the court to grant the relief prayed for by the dis- trict attorney. He believed that an injunction should be is- sued. In the course of his address Judge Woods said: “There is a elaim that the local cor- poration tendered the park to the United States, but the defense prefers # formal denial. It is a question to be decided by the act of Congress inaugurating the enter- prise. The act shows that the logislature and the park commissioners tendered the park to the government, and it is clear that in so fer as it lay im _ their power the legislature and the park com- missioners did make that trade. A constitu- tional amendment was passed enabling Chicago to raise $5,060,000 for the fair. The adoption of that amendment corroborates this position that the government is in possession at Jack- son Park. These grounds have been lawfully delivered to the use of the government.”” Judge Jenkins agrees with Judge Wood on ‘the main point in the world’s fair injunction Preceedings, and he also decides that the in- junctien must issue and the fair be closed on Sunday. Judge Crosscup holds that the fair may be kept open. Attorney Whittaker for the directory, at the conclusion of the décision, gave notice that an appeal would be talen and a supercedeas asked. A motion will be heard tomorrow.

In addition to salaries Of this claim $692,000 in money has actually been withdrawn ‘from the treasury and warrants for more than $2,000,000 are now on their way to St, Louis, where they will be paid on preseniation.

Orders for exports of gold filed in New York earlier in the week, have, it is understood, been can- celled, as on account of the tightness of money there, better rates for money can be obtained at home than abroad.
