My intention is not to distort facts, but to find out just how we stand; things that are not in dispute I will not touch, and I trust I will not by a single letter step over the line of proof or deal ‘anjutly with the commonwealth ‘80 dear to us all.” Gov.

After cautioning the jury to disregard certain parts of the district attorney's opening as not proved by the evidence, thé ex-governor pro- ceeded to dispose of certain points of the prose- eution's evidence in detail. Tho only connection between defendant and tho crimes was the blood pot on the al blood. skirt, which was explainable as men- ri . The proposition that Lizzis must have seen Mra, Borden's body when upstairs was unsound, because the body could be seen from only one stair, and there she would not stop and look if sho did not suspect wrong. Lizzie’s statement that her mother had received ® note and gone out was plain if Mra Borden told both Lizzie and Bridget about it, and that they could not believe Lizzie lied ‘about it. Lizaie’s varying statements that she was in the ard and the barn were _reconcilable. ‘he testimony of three men proved that Rubinski saw the — defendant coming to the house from the barn, and there- fore her statement of her whereabouts at the time of the murders was true. When Lizzie spoke about going upstairs for Mrs. Borden she meant the front stairs, because all knew she could not be up the back stairs. as a sheet had been obtained from there. Liazie's laugh- ter on the stairs was immaterial unless guilt was assumed, The ring buried with Mr. Borden shows her affection for him. The custom of locking docrs was not to lock daughters from the parent, but for protection. the defendant committed the crime she would not have given an alarm so soon. The defendant's emotion at the discovery of the crime was not assumed. Family sickness, de- fendant’s conduct before the murders und her visit to the cellar afterward were no evidence of # guilty mind, ‘he burning of the old things was s custom in many houses nnd the burning of the Bedford cord dress was thus explained. ‘The dress worn on the morning of the murder was not changed till noon. ‘The Bedford cord dress hung till Sunday morning in the closet which the officers searched. Defendant could not have committed both murders without changing her dress be- tween them. Matron Ren: story was false. Exports differed as to which hatchet could have an outside assassin might have committed the crime. Reoess was then taken, Scenes in the Court Room, Spectal Dispatch ‘o The Evening Star. New Beproap, Mass., June 19.—The great battle for Lizzie Borden's life is now guing on in the court room. Every inch of standing room is taken, scores of lawsers, especially, why have not attended hefore, gathering today to hear the arguments of ex-Gov.

No two lawyers in this state could be more nearly matched than ex-Gov. Robinson and District Attorney Knowlton. Both are scholars, statesmen, full of years of experience, without fecling ns yet even the touch of age. ‘If their positions were reversed neither would be so strong. Gov. Robinson has the warm heart, the natural eloquence needed to espouse the cause of the detendant. Mr. Kuowlton has the hard bead, the incisive discernment, the remorseless logic, that can best press upon a jury the demand of outraged and violated law more than all. Each. thor- oughly believes in the side he advocates, aud it. is a matter of consci feasional emulation tha cl Ex-Goy. Robinson began speaking shortly after 9 o'clock. The defendant was present and listened intently to every word. As is usually ¢ she was responsive to kind words pathetic references to herself. Gov. Robinson opened with « graphic de- scription of the crime. Ho turned to the jury at one point and said: “Tho finding of Judge Blaisdell of the district court in Fall River, worthy man as he may be, is of no sort of con Sequence here and lias no sort of influonce or obligation over you. We would not be safe if in these great crises our lives hinged upon the decision of a single man ina prejudiced and excited community. No, wo walk away from Fall River, we come down to the broad sea- iff the breezes of the wea and there here is right; hore are you gentle- case, and his The eloquent speaker urged that it was povaieally and morally impenible for Lizzie jo have committed the crimes. He paid a generous tribute to Mr. Kuowlton’s shrewdness by reccguizing his great popularity in the county frou which tho jurymon were drawn, ith his well-earned ‘reputation and bis \ding ai the bur he would have no need for laurels for his fame, and he is one of the last men that would demean himself 0 f it. He stands ubove the hat unthinking people wii | « he walks inio this court room only as | the representative of the commonwealth of Mussachusetts, that is yours and mine and his, and says gentlemen, all I haveto show yous the. case we have against this woman, And if the case I bave had brought to me by the Fall River police is not sufficient, or you have sav doubt about it he will say, if he spenke what ais heart prompts him to utier. For God's sake, say #0 like men, and Bristol county will be the happier and the securer afterward.” Gov. Robinson'secoring of the Fall River police and incidentally of the blue-coated fratesnity in general was appreciated by the audience and nothing elxe, und the blue coat and thé brass buttons cover only the kind of a man that isin such. If you do not get the greatest ability in the world inside a policeman’ coat, you may, perhaps, get what you want, and that is sufficient, but you must call upon him only for such service 13 he can render.” ‘The effect of newspaper criticism on the po- lice force was graphically set forth as follows: “What are the police doing?’ asks the news- papers, and the newspapers, you know are not alwavs right. They are sayin, here, Mr. City Marsbal, these murders were com: mitted yesterday.’ Haven't you the mi a in the lock-up? Get sumebody in.’ ” Gov.

The Common Branches Not Slighted in Our Public Schools, AN ENGLISH EXHIBIT. A Graphic Representation at the Franklin Bulldigg of the Mental Training of the Children tm the Public Schools af the City—From Big and Little, —_—_.—__. Perhaps now more than any time during the year the attention of the public is called to the public schools of our ity. The last day is near at hand and on Wednesday the schools will be closed for the summer holidays, In the house- holds where there are children attending the Public schools, and that comprises practically all the households of the city where there are children of 9 school age, the topic of raterest is the schoals and the closing exer- cises, The head of the house, who is apt to hand over the responsibility for the education of his vbildren to the school authori- ties at least for tho greater portion of the year, and gives his entirg attention to other matters, is at this season conscious that there is such an institution as the public schools, He gots this ides from the talk bo hears at home from the youngsters, and also his attention is attracted by articles in Tax Stan which, as has been its custom for years past, gives what is going on in the schools. PROMINENT BECAUSE RATHER NOVEL. There are certain picturesque features of modern education which are apt to be written up at length in detail, and it would not be surpris- ing if the hurried man of affairs should get an idea that the sehools were mainly devoted to giving instruction in these specialties, Sach » man is inclined to the idea that a good deal of attention is nad to what is known as manual training. The produets of the carpenter shop, the machine shop, the sewing and cooking school are given 0 deal of prominence, snd uo dunbt come of the childsen te their talk at home convey the impression to paren’ enre that the. training, of thei bands in the main occupation of the public schools. Of course snch an impression could only be made on the casual observer of the methods of tuatraction adopted in the public sahools.| Any one who has an in \t interest in our public schools realizes the relative importance of these useful features, As bas been stated in TaxSrax, an exhibition ned in the large hall'of the Frank- nilding, where may be seen some of the results of the manual instruction given to the children. Manual training is by no means a fad that dominates the public schools, This fact is demonstrated by an exbibition which is Deing arranged in the large room in the same building, which has been set apart for the | Fisch le made by exch pupil ta th . wi ‘made by eac in the Schools in the acquisition of the tures branches which used to be known as the three R's. In former years, and it has not been long ago, either, that was the extent of the edication’ that was given. Now that other branches have been added it is shown that the instruction in reading. writing and arithmetic is not being neglected. In fact, it is claimed that better and more thorough instraction in the English branches is given now than ever before. AN INTERESTING EXUIBIT. What is meant by this claim will readily be seen by a visit to the English exhibit, as it may be termed, which will be ready for inspection in a day or two. Arranged on tables which are scattered around the room are specimens of the work of every child in the public schools. Be- ginning with the first grade and ending with the High School « graphic representation is given by this exhibit of the mental develop- ment of the children of the public schools, ‘The little tots in the first who learn to read and to write before parents realize that they know their letters, bezin at once to express in language their thoughts, Of course they don't know much about hope or ambition or love or any of those nbstract motives which do so much to perplex and complicate lite in after years, and so they are not asked to ex- their ideas on these interesting themes. ut they do know what a peach or dairy is, and 40 they are set to work to say something about these familiar objects. It may not seem much for a child to write thata plum is round and smooth and that if he has four and gives Susie two he will bave but two left. But when it is considered that the child sits down and e1 esses in good English ite ideas about the it or the flower, and thus cultivates the faoulty of writing about what be or she knows, then these little papers with the characters very much | sad down and very round, ond per. haps alittle straggly, perbaps a letter Sepeed out here and there, assume more sig- Bificance. The child kuows what be wants bo say and says it, and then stops. His spell and Writing, tho ability to express ideas, are all involved in this composition. MAY ALSO DRAW. It is amusing to note that they are not satis- fied with the statement that two from four will leave two, but they fre the mathematical formula, which is simple ehough, and further illustrate their theme by drawing a picture of four plums and then of two plums in groups to show the division which would occur in the event that Susie received her share.” They thus begin in the first year of their course to learn to draw such objects as may be set before them. The same ‘tical idea runs through the paper exhibited as the work of the pu in the other grades. ‘The theme, of course,becomes more complex as the child progresses,’ but there is the same Power to express clearly in good English the ideas that occur on a given subject. There is no attempt made to have the pupils write on something that dovs not come within the range of their daily studies, After a while with this training, when they get out in the world and have some experience with ambition or hatred or the art of war or of arbitration, and if they feel called upon to say something on such themes then the training which they are now receiving to express their thoughts intelligently and clearly will be of great use. But just now all the children kuow principally is what they seo in the concrete. ey know about flowers and fruits and animais, and they are cultivating the habit of express- ing what they know. Wnen a little girl or boy five or six years of age uses the word calyx or Stamen in writing about flowers it is because they are just as familiar with those words as they are with the words cat and dog. PRACTICAL THEMES. It is interesting to follow alonz these tables Just as you wouid watch the course of « devel- oping human life and see the varios stages of progress, They are all us cleariy deflued in these papers as it the children were before you. But the system of trainieg remains the same, and the same practical principle underlies the whole. In every grade the pupils write about that with which they are familiar, and when the work of the Inst year's scholar in the School is reached "the prose in its vigor and strength and the clearness of the thought will rank these efforts ina grade with the writings which grace the pages of our best periodical literature, = That ig ono thing that this exhibition of the work of our public schools is designed to show. Not that it is considered to prepare writers for an entrance in the of our leading magazines, but it is to dem- onstrate that in the schools the teachers are not carried away by fads of manual training or what ‘not, but shat now, #0 it is claimed, better than in the ‘past, the | children are trained in the ‘knowledge of | Ea- glish and are put in the way to the of ‘their motber tongue for the uses of ‘na | _In some of the higher grades scientific studies ars pursued where laboratory work .s done and experiments are made the pupils choose these Subjects for the theme of their essays.

If parents want to know what their children | are doing in schools and don’t want to spend much time in finding out, then the best plas is fo visit this exhibition; and, in short time, e graphic array of mental progress, as well as of eclioul methods will tell thems a they want to | know. Of course, it would not be exactly in | good taste to say that the public schools of ¢ | sity could give an exbibit qual of this, and | soit may be sufficient to say to who are interested in educational methods that it will be well worth their while to visit this ex- hibit. ‘There is nothing to be seen out in Chicago equal to it, and in fact the truth might just av well be known, nothing equal to it can be seen in this country.

Could not sav, but supposed that Col. Ains- worth could detail this supervision, Could have told Mr. Covert or Mr. Sasse to oversee the work. ‘Witness said he knew of no empty rooms in the War Department, Witness said he eu; if Col. Ainsworth had applied to the depart- ment for a competent man to superintend it would have been allowed. Mr. Hanvey asked some questions in regard to the work done in undervinning the present Weather burean building. The building had been underpinned, the witness said, Chief En- gineer Smith being in charge. ‘Smith, be t, was on duty at the bureau. CHIEF CLERK TWEEDALE, Chief Clerk Tweedale was the next witness, He thought the department would have de- tailed a man to oversee the work had the re- quest been made, Engineer Smith, who had superintended the work at the weatner Was a marine engineer, he thought The witness thought Mr. Covert, as auperin- tendent of the building, should have reported any danger to the Ford's building. Covert rior to Engineer Sasse, The witness did not know whether Mr. Covert per- formed any clerical work outside of superin- tending the building. Mr. ‘Tweedale snid that the words in the con- tract “to the satisfaction of the officer in charge of the building” would, apply to either Col. Ainsworth or Later the witnem said that the words were matter of construction, and if Col, Ainswor drew the specification he probably meant bim- self by the words, FRANK E. NOPEINS. Frank E. Hopkins said he was in the hard- ware and eand business. He had sold Dant sand for the work on Ford's Theater, The sand had been of the very best quality of river washed sand, Dant bad told him that the sand aust be of the very best quality, as the work was ‘subject to witnessed crumbled up a bit of the mortar from the building and said at once that he was of opinion that the mortar did not show ny of his sand. The sand be had turnishod was at least two or three times as coarse as the nd which seeraed to have been used in the mortar. Had delivered five wagon loads of sand. Had seen no other sand at the building. 4A8. 4. CONNOR. Jas. A. Connor, a reporter on the Post, said he had interviewed Mr. Covert the day after the inquest, Had asked him who was responsible for the work done on the bi Covert had said that Col. Ainsworth was y in charge. Witness had interviewed Col. Ainsworth also and Ainsworth bad said that the contract had given to Dant, not because he was the lowest bidder, but because he was an expert. Covert had also srid that the clay foundation to the building was ensily sufficient without rock. Both Brown and Covert bad told wit- ew tbat the order about running down staire been giver ger of the building. MR. TWEEDALE RECALLED. Mr. Twoedale was recalled and in answer to Mr. Warner said the feeling among the clerks geverally in the War Department was in oppo- sition to going to the records and sion building. He thought this arose from the feel- ing that a large decrease in this force was im- minent. Did not think it arose from any feel- ing against the head of the bureau, Had heard of clerks who made charges against Ainsworth, but thought these clerks were in the minority. Witness knew personally little about Mr. Pot that the highest aim of a public school course is | tor's dismissa’. Some papers were given Mr, Tweedale, who read them. The papers showed that Potter had | standing above the average. Another paper | showed the statement as made by the War partment that Potter was discharged for inefti- ciency, and the inquest at this point adjourned ‘until 2 o'clock. After Recess. This afternoon the first witness was Mr. J. M. Wheatley dealer in cement, in business with Mr. Cammack. He considerd the Rosendale cemeut sold to Mr. Dant was first-class of its kind, It was & magnesium cement and slow in hardening. Could not tell from locking at the specimens from the Ford's building how much cement there wasin it. ‘The mixture was bad, but he could not tell whother there was any cement or lime in it. The usual vroportion for mixing Rosendale is 0 ve part of cement to two of wand, Such a proportion would be much barder than the specimens, ‘Ibis would depeud somewhat on whether it was the first or second setting. In three months Rosendale would set as bard as Portland cement. After twenty years’ rience he did not know that fresh coment was tier than old cement, Witness did not think there was a general knowleage of cements among builders. As a rule, builders want the cheapest article they can secure. Would think that Cumber- land cement would have been better for this purpose, but at the end of three months the two would be equally strong, but the magnesium sets slower. Good cement after setting well should bear @ pulling strain of forty pounds to the equare inch. He did not care even to guess ax to the strength of the crumbling specimens submitted to him. Frederick Loftus, ason of the man who was killed and on whom the inquest was being held, told of the last time he saw his father and how and when he was removed from the ill-fated stracture, DR. SCHAEFFER. Dr. Sebaeffer was uext called. He gave bis professionas a medical man and late or alleged deputy coroner of the District. He told of identifying the body of Mr. Loftus, who bad | met his death instantaneously. Dr. Schaeffer told of « further examination be had made Yesterday at the cemetery. He described the wounds on the body, which was still recog- izable. The body bad evidently been under » large mass of masonry, and, as the neck was fractured, it was probable that he had been enffocated or crushed | to death by au immense weight. STEPEEN DATES. ‘Stephen Bates, a clerk in the ill-fated strac- | ture, was next sworn. Admitted that he bad | signed paper in favor of Col. Ainsworth. | Did not know anything particular about the | excavations, but told of u conversation be had had with Mr. Sasseas to the foundation of the piers. ‘Mr. Sane said that the carth was strong enough | for a foundation and ho himself bad no fears of the safety of the building. If he bad had he would not have been afraid to go direct to Col.

Mr. Bates was then shown the original petition, which he also recognized, as well as his signa- ture. BUTLER FITCH. Mr. Butler Fitch was next called. He wasa clerk in the Ford's Theater. On the Monday before the accident he saw the unsafe condition and at once asked for | five days’ leave of absence. He did not say much about this, for he would have been called au nlarmist, and if the building had | not fallen he wouk! have been disciplined and called a coward for his fears. All talk about their | being warned not to run down stairs because it was unscemly so todo was the merost non- sense. It was a physical impossibility to ran | down stairs crowded as they were. reason | was that the officicls knew that the buiiding was unsafe. He did not ray anything about this because he was under the ban for the criticisms he had on the system of the office, and it was necessary for him to walk pretty straight. Col. Ainsworth was not the sort of man to encour- age any advances from his clerks. Witness had never spoken to him himselt. Ever since they had been in the building there were repairs going on all the time, and apparently Col. Ainsworth took charge of all ty details, ‘The sanitary arrangements of the building were very bad. In the opinion of the witness there was much hard feeling against Col. Ainsworth in the oftce. Only fifty out of 500 had signed the in favor o! insworth, and many of see had done it under « ‘This closed the testimony in case and at 2:50 o'clock the jury retired to aroom in the hotel to consider their verdict.
