District Attorney Knowlton Sums Up For
tho State Judge Dewey's Charge to
the Jury Favorable to the
Defendant.
New Bedford, Irme20. At the open'
in'g of courtfthere'was as many people in
the room as at any time during the ses
sion. Among the pecularities of the
morning was tho receipt of a box by
Governor Robinson, sent from Pennsyl- $3,878 as compared with

tion of the Order,
Detroit, June 20. The grand lodge
Benevolent and Protective Order o:
Elks began its business sessions. The
i lodge, was called to order in Philhar
monic hall at 10 o'clock a. m. by Grand
Exalted Ruler Hay. Grated Esquire
Joseph W. Williams organized the grand
lodge and then the committee on creden
tials presented its report. The annua,
address of the exalted ruler' followed
The readmission of the ,New York lodge
was then brought up under a suspension
of the rules. The report of Grand Sec
retary Allen, submitted to the. grand
lodge showed the membership up to
March, 1893, to be 21.&42, divided among
264 lodges. This is an increase in mem
bership of 3,950. Grand Treasurer
Beechel's report showed a balance of
a balance of
vania, in which was a handleless hatchet.
The true inwardness of the gift was not
apparent and tho box was not removed
from the janitor's room. Court came in
at; 9 o'clock promptly and District Attor
nt;y Knowlton resumed his argument.
He said: "Because the lips of those who
do know aro sealed in death wo do not
know but that some new phase had come
np in tho family life, adding to the feel
ing of malice and jealousy existing in
this woman. No suggestion could be
made by that poor man as in favor of his
wife but would fan tho flames into un
quenchable fire. There may be that in
this case which shown that Lizzie An
drew Borden did not plan to kill hei
father, and I hope so. But it was not
Lizzie Andrew Borden who came down
those stairs to meet her father, but a
murderess, transformed from the tics of
affection to the most consummate cruelty
ever known. Sho camo down to meet
that stern, old man, who loved kisdaugh
tcr, but who also loved his wife, and the
one man above all who would know who
killed his wife, and when she came down
stairs, sho came to meet Nemesis. He
knew too much of the family relations
and she did not dare to let him live. Tho
cecoud murder was not planned, but was
done as a wicked and fearful necessity.
Mr. Knowlton reviewed at length tho
evidence as to the handleless hatchet and
discussed its beariusr on the case. The
prisoner watched him fixedly during his
argument. The prosecutor briefly, but
powerfully summarized his entire argu
ment. claimed that tho evidence of tho
defense amounted to nothing, and closed
at 2:15 with an eloquent appeal to tho
jury to decide as their consciences should
direct. The court then took a recess
until 1:43. At 1:15 the court resumed
its session, and the defendant was given
an opportunity to speak. She said: "I
am innocent, but I will leave my ca3e in
your hands and with my counsel.
Jndija Dewey then charged the jtrry.
Ho tola tuem to disregard the previous
hearings and defined the different de
grees of murder. He stated the assump
tion of innocence which wjis increased
by tho defendant's character. There
must be a real and operative motive.
Tli9 jury then retired.

Dresses at St. August la e.
An extract from a letter from St. Au
giiatine says that the girls are dreams in
their bright costumes, the skirts made
short and full and kept in shape as much
by the many runted akirts as by the stiff
half lining, and a skirt that more than
touches the floor is an exception, even
for dinner or during the evening; I have
noticed that with many of the. best
dressed girls each has one especial color
which appears in every costume she
wears. A young widow from New Or
leans, who receives more attention than
four of tho prettiest girls put together,
wears pale gray on all occasions. Her
dresses are superb, yet no one there has
seen her in the same one twice-
Recently she was a picture in a frock
of Iieavy pearl gray satin striped in
finest lines of black. The skirt was full,
without trimming, and cleared the
ground on every side. A short, round
waist opens in front over two""full frills
of exquisite cream lace. One superb
Black Prince rose nestled in the lace, aid
another was worn in the' hair,, which
coiled high on the top of her head.
