The New York Times has received re sponses from 12:2 congressmen replying to its telegram asking if they tavor a re peal of the SiiF.iiMAN' law and what plan of currency issue they prefer. Fiffcy three Democrats and thiity-five Repub licans favor repeal; eleven Democrats, seven Republicans, and eight Populists and Independents oppose it, twenty-six in all, while eight are undecided. If these opinions of about a third of the whole represent the average of judg ment, the repeal ot the act is certain, though the substitute for it which will be adopted, if any, is not to be inferred from the answers. There is no one plan having enough support to indicate prob abilities of congressional action. The replies of the Minnesota repre sentatives, all of whom except Mc- Cleary answer, show a willingness to repeal the Sherman act. Boex favors this, but conditions it on the free coin age of silver at the present ratio, the demonetization of gold, the voiding of gold contracts and the issue of paper money for services rendered and ma terials furnished the government. Flexcheb thinks "the country needs a prompt and decisive financial policy by the administration." It is regrettable that the limits of a telegram precluded Mr. Fletcher from explaining what he meant by this, but if he wishes to show how the administration can adopt any financial policy other than that embodied in the laws of congress, the Globe will gladly accord him all the space he requires. Mr. Baldwin- not only favors the re peal of the Shkkman act, but he thinks congress should be immediately con vened to do it, in which he is en rapport with the Globe, which still remains of the opinion that it is a serious mistake that congress is not now in session. Mr. Reefer evidently does not take his views of finance from Senator Davis. whose eulogy of the Shkumax act we repeated yesterday, for he wants it wiped off the books at once. He com pliments the Globe with an indorse ment of its solution of the silver muddle by the free coinage of silver on the basis of its market value, and he joins us iv opposition to any issue of bonds. Whether tiiis is due to a change of. heart on the part of Mr. Kikfku or is a delicate acknowledgment that he rep resents a Democratic, district and should also represent its views, is, perhaps, immaterial. The wires played havoc with Con gressman Hall's reply, making him say: "Why not substitute [for the Sherman act] free or equal coinage on both motals, your new rates of bull ion value giving honest bimetallism?" —a statement that lacks Mr. Hall's characteristic lucidity of expression. He says that the Shkumax law must be repealed. But it has given a home market for silver, and its repeal may precipitate ruin of the silver industry. The suggestion mangled in transmiss ion, as shown above, was, we infer, the readjustment of ratios to present market values, and then the free coinage of both metals, which is honestbimetallism. Other interviews in the Times and elsewhere make it improbable that a bill making the ratio conform to pres ent values, about :24 to 1, would have support enough to pass. It is already apparent that those who favor this plan foresee the opposition the siiverites will make, and are stisrgestina a com promise ratio of 20 to 1. No compromise of that kind will settle the matter. It will neither give us what we should have, a par value dollar, nor, on the other hand, will it be a cheap enough dollar to satisfy the miners and cranks. It is, of course, the only right thing to do; the only thing the government has the right to do: and it is what should be done if possible. It was only the ap prehension that it could not be carried through congress that moved the Globe to advocate the free coinage of silver on a market values basis. TAKE NO STEP BACKWARD. The Globe is uncompromisingly op posed to the rennposition iof even a light revenue tax on sugar, tea or coffee" or on anything now on the tree list. It believ.es that the path of the Democratic party that leads to permanent success is forward, not backward. Its slow and tentative steps forward became a firm and decided stride at Chicago. The mere promise of this rallied to the party the supporting votes of the progressive element of the voters. They gave it the victory, and they alone. Is any one so deluded as to think that the straddle of 1884, attempted to be forced 011 us again by Whitney at Chicago, would have brought to us the men of whom the Greshams, . the Cooleys, : the Mc- Vkaghs and the Keas are types? It was the spirit of commercial freedom, not of a mitigated slavery, that inspired that fierce denunciation of protection and the campaign which followed it, and his senses are dull indeed who can not see it. The Republicans, the pro tected Interests, have keener perception of the truth of the movement. It is its realization of this that com pels the' Globe to dissent from all these temporizing expedients offered by its contemporaries in its party. This com pels it to dissent from the proposal of its esteemed and estimable contempo rary, the Courier-Journal, to lay an im post on sugar, tea and- coffee, and from its vivacious but somewhat demagogic contemporary, the World, which would make up the deficit by a tax on incomes, laid on those above 510,000, less with a view to just taxation than to catch the approval of the mass of voters whose incomes lie below that line. It insists that the right and the politic course is to call upon the states for whatever sum may be deficient after the revenues of a purely revenue tariff and the internal tax are allowed fur. This meiias, in plain English, the levying of a direct tax for that amount on the states, apportioned as now required by the constitution, according to popula tion, leaving, the states to their local methods of collecting it from their citi zens. It urges this for many reasons. ■In the iirst place, it is democratic and American. It is frank, manly and hon est. It says to each taxpayer: " i"our share of the national burden is so much; here is your receipt for it." It is a step in the direction of a redemption of the implied promise made at Chicago and accepted by the voters who gave ps vic tory that the movement of the party is towards free trade. It is a step away from the infamous method of levying tribute on the basis of what men con sume and exempting their wealth. It will compel the attention of the citizen to the expenditures of congress, and be a check on its extravagance. He will : no longer . measure the efficiency of his congressman by the size \of the appropriation he secures for his dis trict when he sees tire figures in the col umn of his tax receipt under the.cap tion "U. S." increased by the tuxes for needless public buildings and the im provements of dew-fed creeks. It will cost nothing for its coll^iou. The status will use the macliioafy now em, THE SAINT PAUL DAIL3T GLOBE; FEIDAT MORNING. JUNE lfi, 3893. ployed for the collection of their own revenues.

S--:-'v' : ' -■ -. . ** " CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. , St. Paul has a striking Instance in which Christian science has measured arms with disease and lost the battle. Mrs. Jon>" Krey, who died Monday at her home, corner of South Robert and Annapolis streets, was a believer in Christian science, though her fam lywas in the habit of calling in a homeopathic physician in cases of sickness. Her : af fliction was typhoid ' fever, and she placed herself under the Christian sci ence treatment with the utmost confi dence in its efficacy. The Christian science people, therefore, had every advantage; they were not hampered by any doubt on the part of their patient. It was - as fair a test of the power of their treatment as could have been asked. It would seem that. these people can have only to say, as an excuse' for' their failure to cure, that the case was incur able : and that it was Mrs. Krey's allotted' time to die. It would ; ; not answer to say simply that the case was incurable, for their treatment . ema nates,'as they holdout, from a power which can accomplish all things; they must add that it was her time to die in order to present a semblance of plausi bility. Thus it appears that the bul wark of the treatment is in faith and faith alone, for to be au adherent to it one must believe through faith, not actual knowledge, that all who die under the treatment have reached their allotted time of life. Christian science people will tell of the cures by the treatment of chronic diseases which had been pronounced in curable by regular physicians; of peo ple prostrated with the worst forms of rheumatism arising suddenly to walk; of cripples suddenly finding themselves .restored to perfect form, and of various other miraculous cures. Not all of them will go so far as to detail such wonders: a good many will frankly ad mit that consumption. and many other ailings are beyond their power. But the latter are less consistent than those who claim to be able to cure everything,, for the agency they assume to invoke is all-powerful. Though inconsistent, the ones who admit that there are com plaints which cannot be reached by Christian science are admitting the truth. There is no well-authenticated case on record of a cure by Christian science of a case classed ameng the in curables, such as cancer, consumption, etc.; nor is there a well-authenticated instance in which any cure can be proven, without the exercise of faith on the part of the observer or listener, to have been effected by the treatment. It is a well-known fact that a large per cent of the illues3 which physicians are called to treat is purely imaginary. In this class of cases Christian science has a field in which it can do effective work. But wherever a patient fails to recover speedily under the care of a Christian scientist, it is just as well to call in a good physician, who places his reliance upon hntnan science. THE GREAT NORTHERN CUT. The circular of the : Great Northern announcing a reduction of 825 in the fare from Seattle and Northern Pacific coast points, and a material reduction from Spokane and Helena, to St. Paul, is thankfully received by the public; but it would be received with still great er pleasure if it gave assurance that the rates were to be permanent. The cir cular holds out. however, that the cut is made to bring the Northern Pacific to terms which will be satisfactory to the Great Northern. The Northern Pacific is accused of carrying 75 to SO per cent of its business both ways on a second class basis with first-class accommoda tions. Thus, passengers who should pay $00 at Seattle for their tickets to St. Paul secured them for $35. The cir cular announces the reductions from competing points only, indicating con clusively that it is not intended to make reduced figures permanent rates. The Globe does not assume to say that the Northern Pacific is guilty of the charge preferred by the Great Northern, but if it is, why has it car ried so much of its passenger business at the 835 rate ? Because at the ?t>o rate it was unable to secure enough passengers to make it worth while to run first-class coaches. ;It seems clear: that- these two transcontinental lines will not be able to secure enough travel at the |60 rate to pay for the operation of passenger trains, .or, at least, first, class coaches. Very lew people can afford to pay so dearly, and the popula tion of the coast points touched by these roads is not large. The situation is that the Northern Pacific carried SO per cent of its passengers at the $35 rate, and was able to operate its passen ger trains on that basis. It is much to be hoped that both roads will come to the conclusion that $35 will be more profitable than the SCO rate. The ex periment should be tried, and it is i hopad that it will be.

A Returned American Gives Out Some That Are New and Interesting. parrots Cheap Enough to Eat, and Fruits to He Bought for Small Change. J H. Weinrath, of Brisbane, Australia, "was in the city yesterday en route to the world's fair, where he will visit /with relatives whom fte has not seen for the past twenty years. "I arrived in the city this morning over the Canadian Pacific line, and I will leave this even ing over the Kansas City route," he said to a reporter of the Globe. "1 have been in Australia for the past twenty years, and this is my first trip to the 'States' during that time." Mr. Wein rath is the insurance inspector of the South British Company of Australia. He had in his possession a dozen par rots, several other birds and a quantity of curios from Australia. One of the curios was a snuff box or match box made of a native bean and mounted in silver. He wore a watch charm of native gold hammered into proper shape, and in every pocket be carried something queer. "It seems so strange for me to see the prices charged for the most common fruits in this country," he said. "In Australia we can purchase bananas for about 10 cents per bunch, and those large pineapples, for which the people in this countcy pay 25 cents, we buy in the market, and much finer ones than are seen here, for 15 cents a dozen. These parrots which I have with me I paid 25 cents apiece for, and they will sell for at least SlO apiece in Chicago, if I care to sell them. I expect to give them to my brother and his friends, however. I have not seen him for twenty years, and he was only a boy then. Ido not suppose that I will knovv hiiu. "Australia is one of the best coun tries in the world for a young man to co to for the purpose of making a fort une. There are millions of acres of un improved property there, which has nevar been explored as yet. The sheep rsising industry is oue of the principal industries of the country, and the gold mines are a larire portion of the valuable industries. I know a man who has made a large amount of money out of the killing of kausraroos. He ships the hides to England and America for the making of shoes, and he eets a bounty from the crown for the killing of the animals. These animals have multiplied to such an extent that they completely overrun some parts of the continent, and eat more of the grass in the sheep pastures thau the sheep them selves do. They eat large quantities of grass, and I have known of instances wher*} the sheep have been unable to get enough to eat where ihe grass was in the best of condition. The clumsy marsupials would gather in droves and drive the sheep away. Of course, you have heard of the rabbit plague, which has caused so much trouble to the farm ers of that country. The rabbits were brought to Australia in small numbers, and it is supposed that they found the conditions such that they multiplied much faster than In any other country. '•They are killed by the million, but there does not seem to be any decrease in their numbers. At some seasons of the year the farmers and bushmen organize for a rabbit slaughter and the little pests are killed in immense num bers. No one takes the trouble to save their skins or their meat and the dead bodies can be found In all parts of Aus tralia. The hunters kill them with clubs and stones, and it is rare that powder.and shot are wasted upon them, unless there is a large bunch together. "Some of the most prominent business men of the country have been convicts who were sent to Australia by the gov ernment. They became good citizens, and it was these men who developed the country. Some of them were natural criminals, but the better class of convicts have kept them out of the. way. Now and then we will hear of soinsof the bushrangers who still com mit depredations, but they are very few. I am very much enthused over my adopted country, and thiuk it is a good plan for a young man to so there." WORK AN»» r.,.,.iSURR. Druggists Evince %Vistloni in Do- in«j Their Business. The Minnesota Pharmaceutical asso ciation closed its annual session at Lake Minnetonka Wednesday night with a reception and ball at the Hotel St. Louis. There were a number of ladies from this city present who, together with the druggists from other parts ot the state and their wives and friends, put in an enjoyable time. Duriug the day an excursion of the lake was made by steamer, which was much enjoyed. The business meetings of the associa tion were interesting. Dr. L. A. Hard ing read a paper on ''Chemistry and Its Relation to Pharmacy." He also read a paper on "Glycerine Suffusotines" that was very interesting, and drew out favorable criticism and discussion. The association also discussed the duties of the druggists to their clerks. The past work of the pharmacy board was also discussed and universally commended. A discussion as to the place of holding annual meetings developed the fact that it was the general-sentiment that a lake resort is preferable to a city for the meetings. Acting on this view, it was decided to hold the next meeting of the association at Lake Minnetonka, June 12 and 13, 1894. The officers elected for the ensuing year are: President, J. ti. Stiles, of St. Louis Park; first vice president, L. Trauteiuan, Wabasha; second vice president, Johu N. Gayner, Rose City; secretary and tieasurer, Cnarles T. Hel ler, of St. Paul, who was chosen for" the third term. The executive committee is composed of F. 11. Haiuert, of Minne ano is; 11. P. Barclay, of Stillwater.and W. A. Frost, of St. Paul.

Badly Needed Renovating. In speaking: of the shortag» in the city's part of the court house and city hall fund, a member of the commission said yesterday the rooms in the building which had over, cleaned, painted and decorated needed it badly, and for this reason the work had been ordered. He was of the opinion that the matter would be adjusted without any trouble, as there was about $12,000 at present in the fund raised for the completion of the building, and the bills for the work could be paid from this amount. Supreme Court Routine. The following cases were considered by the supreme court yesterday: State of Minnesota, respondent, against James P." Ahem, appellant. Argued and submitted. Alfred J. Dean, respondent, against Fred E. Goddard, appellant. Continued by stipulation of counsel until October term. Joseph Dade, respondent, aeainst iEtna Insurance Company, appellant. Argued by appellant and submitted by respondent Saved From Drowning. James Barrows, a man who liveron the West Side flats, narrowly escaped drowning in the river yesterday through the overturning of his 3kiff. He was rowing in the middle of the current when his boat struck a snag and went over. He drifted for some distance down the river and was finally rescued by a neighbor who rowed out into the river after him. The only damage sus tained was a ducking in the muddy wat^r. THE BORDEN CASE.

According to the Berlin correspon dent of the London Standard, the prob lem of smokeless combustion of coal seems at last to be solved by a newly patented process which is exciting an immense sensation in Germany. The patent lias been taken out by a com pany, which has already made contracts with a large uuinber of commercial and industrial concerns— among others with the North German Lloyd, the Hauiburg- Americau Packet company, Schichau and the Vulcan works at Stettin— for the introduction of its new system of nring. In the construction of their new firing apparatus, the. patentees haya departed from all the methods hitherto em ployed. The coal is no longer burned in lumps, but is reduced to powder by means of the ordinary contrifugal mills. The new system, which is called "auto matic and smokeless coal-dust firing," is extremely simple. At the place where hitherto the coal was introduced iuto the tire grate, that id to say. at the furnace door, there is a movable pear shaped apparatus.consisting principally of a tire chamber lined with tire brick. One aperture of this hollow pear opens, in the direction of the axis of the boiler, into the mouth of the hitherto employed furnace, from which the fire grates, "fire bridges, etc., have been removed. The opposite aperture of the hollow pear is intended to. admit a current of air. By means of an ingenious automatic contrivance, coal dust, supplied through a funnel placed above the current of air, i 3 continually conveyed into the current of air and "thence iuto the lire chamber, where it is immediately brought into combustion by means of the small fire which in placed there. When this has once taken place the coal dust conveyed by the current of air continues to burn in one regular, in tense flame. The current of air which brings the coal dust into the apparatus is regulated so as merely to convey the dust thither, whereas the further supply of air necessary for combustion is sent into the zone of combustion at right angles and in radiating jets. By this arrangement the coal dust and the air in the zone of combustion are intimately and thoroughly mixed, whilst the speed of the current which introduces the coal dust is diminished. It will thus be seen that the combus tion of the coal which this mathod pro duces is extremely thorough, for each particle of fuel floats in the air and is brought into contact with the oxygen necessary for its combustion, so that it is totally consumed the moment it enters the sphere of combustion. The proof of its being totally consumed is seen in the fact that not even a trace of smoke is perceptible. With the pressure of a finger the supply of coal dust and ot draught can be perfectly regulated, and thereby an equable generation of heat secured. Among further advantages of the new system of firing _ may be mentioned the diminished wear and tear of steam boil ers, the absence of fire grates and fire bridges, the ability to start or to stop the fire instantaneously, the absen.ee of heaps of cinders and ashes, and the avoided necessity for high chimneys. It is further claimed that this method of firing is suitable not only for steam boilers, but also tor all kinds of heating, welding, smelting.: and burning proc esses, that it can be '. used in all sorts of manufactures, and that by it not only ordinary coal, but also brown coal, char coal, turf powder, etc., may be burned. : \ De Oro Leads.

Defense Introduces Witnesses Who Saw a Man Around the House. Contradiction of Some of the Witnesses of the State. New BEDFonD, Mass., June 15. — The tenth day of the Borden murder trial opened with a big crowd in attendance. Miss Borden was overwhelmed with floral offerings this morning, and ap peared in excellent spirits, despite the seeming disheartening significance of yesterday's proceedings. The first wit ness called was Charles 11. Lawton, a New Bedford druggist of twenty years 'standing, and he wasjfol lowed by other druggists, who were questioned as to the character ami uses of prussic acid. The defense vigorously contested every point of the government's testi mony looking to the prisoner's attempt to purchase prussic acid. Preliminary evidence was introduced under objec tions and exceptions. Druegist Lawton testified that he unew of no other than medicinal purposes for which prussic acid is used, and Daniel Hathaway, analytical chemist, said it is unsuitable for cleaning furs and very volatile, while Dr. Dolan said that its vapor is very poisouons. Finally, after consul tation, the justice announced that the preliminary evidence did not come up to the proffer by the prose cution, and excluded the entire evi dence of attempting purchase of prussic acid. After introduction of ex hibits, the commonwealth rested its case and a recess of fifteen minutes was taken. During the recess, the prisoner talked earnestly with Mrs. Fessenueu, of Boston, the only lady who has spoken to her in the court room. The Di-l <■)!•»<■. After the recess Mr. JenniußS opened the case for the defense. He said they would show the previous spotlessness of the prisoner's character, and the absence of intent, purpose, or opuor tunity. The prisoner sat with her face buried in her hankerchier during counsel's plea. After dis tinguishing circumstantial from direct evidence and illustrating the dangerous character of circumstantial evidence, he said every link in the government's chain of evidence must be proved be yond a reasonable doubt, including mo tive, wespon, exclusive opportunity and intent. The defense would show the relation between father and daughter which excluded motive for killing him, and the motive to kill the mother alone wouid not be enough, for the government claimed that the same person killed both. Ho claimed that the weapon had not been connected with the defendant. Exclusive oppor tunity would be negatived by showing that other people were around at the time of the murder; tnat others entered the barn before the otticer who testified that its floor was covered witli dust, and that the burned dress was covered with paint, and was not worn on the day of the murder. On the sub ject of <'ircimiK(uiitlal Evidence Mr. Jennings addressed the jury thus: "You are not to say how this mysteri ous murder was committed, but to say by whom. You are simply to answer as to this defendant, to say you are satis tied beyond a reasonable doubt that she is'uuilty or innocent, and a reasonable doubt is a doubt for which you can furnish a good reason. I want to *ay that there is. not one par ticalof direct testimony against Lizzie Andrew Borden to connect her with this crime; it is wholly and absolutely circumstantial. It is not for you to unravel the mystery of how these people died, but to say whether this woman did the deed or not. Unless by the evidence you can tie this woman, to the bodies of the murdered persons you must let her go tree. We contend that with the evi dence thus far produced there is no motive shown for this woman to do the deed. Y^y will find that a motive as one of the links in the chain becomes of tremendous impor tance. The government's chain is that whoever killed one killed the other, and where they have assumed to show a motive for the killing of her own mother, there is none for the killing of her own father. In Measuring the motive you have got to apply it in this case as between the irirl and her own father. Tne blood which was shown on the axes lias disappeared; the claw-headed hatchet lias disappeared from the case. The attempt lias been made here to surround this house; to completely shut it in; but we shall show you that there were others about that House on the day of the murder. We shall show you that Med ley's cake-tvalk in the barn existed in his own Imagination and that peoplu were in that barn and all over it before he went there; we shall show you that Lizzie, was in the barn just as she said she was. We shall show you that this dress was soiled with paint gotten on it early in March, and that it was burned there in broad daylight with windows and doors open, officers and other witnesses about. We shall show you that she had on the very dress she says she had on. the one I Kave to the officer myself. We shall ask you to see, in view of the presumption of inno cence, which the law says you shall consider, that no blcod was found upon her, and to consider the relations be tween father and daughter." During the opening Miss Burden cov ered her tearful eyes with her hand kerchief. Martha Chagnon, a pleasant little French girl, was the h'rst witness for the defense. She is a daughter of Dr. Chagnon, whose yard is in the rear of the Borden yard. On the night pre ceding the Borden murder, Miss Chag non said she heard a noise at about 11 o'clock at night. It Sotiuded Like Poundiug on the Border; fence, and lasted five minutes. Marion' Chaijnoti, mother of Martha, confirmed her daughter, but the purpose of their testimony was not disclosed. Charles N. Clifford and Uriah Kirby both 9wore to having: seen a strange man on the stops of the hitter's house, near fy.ie Borden residence, at 11 o'clock the night before the murder. Gifford said the man would weigh be tween ISO and l'.w pounds, lie seemed asleep. The witness spoke to the man and his hat fell off. The witness then went into the house. The man did not seem to have been drinking. He never saw the man be fore or since. Kirby testified that lie called out to the man who was on the steps without getting a reply. Ills hat was pulled down nearly over his eyes. The witness shook him and finally left him there. The mysterious personage said nothing and did nothing. Mark Chase, of Fall : liiver, a former member of the police force of that city, swore that about 10:50 a. in. of the day of the murders he saw a buggy standing in front or the Burden house. In the carriage was a man with a brown hat and black coat. He had never seen the man or, the bugsy before. . Dr. Ben jamin F. Handy, of Fall River, testified., that he went by the Borden house ou the morning of the murders at 9 and 10:30. "I saw a medium-sized young «»an, very Pale In Complexion, with his eyes fixed on the sidewalk, passing slowly towards the south; he was acting strangely: in consequence of his appearance I turned in my enr rioge to watch him as he went by ; I have a faint idea that 1 had seen him before." Mrs. Delia S. Manley. who lives on Second street, stepped up against the railing, and, in answer to a question by Mr. Jennings, said she was familiar with the street and the grounds about the Borden house. She was passinc tho Borden house with Mrs. Hart, when she saw a young man at tired in a suit of white standing by the Borden gate. That was about D:4o. She had not aoticed the young man when she first came along. In an swer to questions she said that there was nothing peculiar about his clothing. George T. Borden, a relative of the de fendant, testified that he entered the house the day after the mur der, finding the doors unlocked. Walter P. Stevens, who, at the time of the tragedy, was a reporter for one of the Fall Hiver dailies, was called to the stand by Mr. Jennings. His testimony was the most important for the defense that had come out up to this time. He went to the Borden house on the morn ing of the tragedy in the regular course of business. He went through ihe grounds and out to the barn. Contradicted .Yledley. "While I was in there,'' he said, "I heard three persons walking about in the upper part of the barn." Policeman Medley, it will be remem bered, has sworn tbat there were no traces of footsteps in the dust on the floor of the barn loft when be went up there to make an investigation to ses if there were any traces of foot prints. The witness said that he did not see Medley about, and remained ir the barn only a moment or so. Herman Kobinski, an ice cream peddler of Fall River, was called. He said he went bj Hie Borden house In his wagon on the morning the murders were committed. "What did you see".'" "I saw a lady come out of the barr and go to the stairs at the north side ol the house." "How did she go." "She was walking slowly," said tin witness. "She wont in tinder the stair.-." "Did you see her (to into the house?' "1 don't know about that." Robinski said it was not the servan; he .-saw. He could not tell bow sh« was dressed. Mr. Knowlton asked aboul where he had seen the woman. He waj some distance from the house, lie -aid Her back was toward the bam. Ther Robins tci caused something of a sensa tiOD when lie answered these questions Tula niallalejr. "Did you say anything to anybodj about this?" "Yes." "Whom:"' "Policeman Mullaley." '•What dnl you toll him." "1 told him all about It." "Did you tell him what time it \va: when you saw the woman." "Yes." "What time was it." "It was utter 11 o'clock." "How much after." lie was not sure about that, but hi knew it was aftei 11 o'clock, kobinsk said he had sold things to Bridget Sulli van aod knew her face. Two boys then testilk-d that they visited the Bordei bam just after the murder and walked all around tin.' loft. The jury retired at 4:48, while counsel argued the admissibility of evidence of Joseph L. >iay, who found, a man covered with blood near Steep brook,. Auk. 10, wht talked about the Borden murder. The question was reserved until morning and the court adjourned. i» Tiiin ii»e Weapon 1 Fai.i, RIVKR, .Mas-;.. June 15.— Lasl niuht a son or C. U.
