NEW BEiironn , Mass. , Juno 20. At the opening of the Bordcn trial this morning District Attorney Knowlton resumed his argument In behalf of the commonwealth. IIo addressed himself to the motive for the murders. Ho pointed out the enmity of Llzzlo toward her stepmother ns sutllclent motive for her murder , and said her killing necessitated the killing of her father , a stern man , who knew of Iho enmity nnd loved his dead wife. The only way for Llzzlo to possibly cscapo punishment lay In killing bcr father. This theory was Iho only ono which would consistently account for the double murder taking place over n period of an hour and a halt between the acts. acts.The speaker continued , arguing that the Bilk dress produced by the defendant was not the dress worn at the time of the mur der. The two versions of the burning of the defendant's dress were Irreconcilable. Ho discussed the defendant's conduct since the murder nnd declared the story told by Ma tron IJegan and afterwards dented by her about the quarrel between the Bordcn sis ters was true , llo said the produc tion of the hatchet was no part ol the government's caso. Her Visit to the Il'.irn. Continuing ho said : It was one of the very hottest days ! n the hottest summers we have ever known nnd you are asked tc believe that she left her work at the ironing board and went up Into the hot barn.ou wcro there in that barn and you know what it Is even on n cool Juno day. She told Ofll- ccr Harrington that slio could net hear any thing , any noise , because she was up in the loft. This the only place , the hottest about , where she could got and not hear anything. In all your observations have you over heard of an attempt to create an alibi which was moro strange than the circumstances of this ono ? That barn alibi will not stand. Wo como back and find her father dead and a story on her lips which has no vestige of truth In it. IIo then commented on the old and dusty condition of the barn and ol the tlrst kocn-oyod people who found nc tracks thcro. Ho also dismissed the state inent of two boys who jvcnt to the barn tc cat their dinner because it was cool. He referred to the visit to the cellar ns en evi tlcnco of Miss Borden's nerve. How she could have avoided getting blood on hei clothes the jury could answer , because thci were neither women nor murderers. There was somewhere In that house r Bedford cord dress stained with paint nnd c dress which , stained as it was , was good enough to wear for mourning dress , ant when the ofllcers came there on Friday II vrns a singular thing that this dress , aftci being kept all through these months , was burned on that Sabbath. Llzzlo had beer told on Saturday night tliat she was guilty and on Sunday she burns this dress. Mrs. Jtcagau'H Statement. lie referred to the statements of Mrs. Rca Ran as illy advised , but while enterprising nnd ofllclous reporters and friends made hci tnko it back she never did under oath. The prosecution did not claim It had In troduccd Ihe hatchet with which the murdci was committed. Wo don't say this smal hatchet did the business , but wb think the handle was broken off. not accidentally , bui in order to make the least showing of snlin tors. It has been shown that it had beci wet and then rubbed In ashes , and It hat been shown that the blade Ills almost miracu lously into the holes In the skulls. Wo ch not say it was the hatchet. Wo find till : woman was killed at 9:15 : ; that she had nol on enemy In the woijd ; that the house was guarded day by day ; lhat falsehoods , th ( very essence of this case , wcro told by tha' ' cirl. Wo find that this girl had consldcrei it best to look after her father , who woult know who did the llrst deed up stairs. Ho had covered up tin previous burglary In the house , but upoi this ho might not bo so close mouthed. Ant without opening her mouth , except to tcl this story of the barn and oven her remon stratton when olllcers tried to search he : room ; wo llnd her in n house where Is i hatchet which could have done the deeds then wo get hatred , malice , falsehood absurd nml Impossible ) alibis , fraud cluirgci on the ofllcers In the dress matter , nndvi cap the climax by showing that there was i dross burned which wovantcd und the ; would not glvo us. What is the defense ? Nothing , nothing I say again , nothing. Some dust thrown ii our faces. Some absurd stories abou drunken men , of palo and irresolute mci walking the street in broad day light and o fighting dogs. Our case Is proven. Lo mercy bo taken care of ; act as you wouli like to think of having acted when you stain before the great whlto throne. liccess until 14 ; ! > for lunch. The court ciimo in promptly at l-l : ! > , over ; seat in the room being occupied its usual The chief Just ice then addressed Miss Bordc by name , lelllng her that she now had volco nnd could say to the jury what sh chose to say. She arose somewhat agitate and said to the jury : "I am Innocent , but I will leave my case li your hands and In the hands of my counsel. Judge Dewity'i Charffr. Judge Dewey then charged the Jury. U mid his charge rapidly aim among othr things embodied therein was the caution t take a decision only upon the law and th evidence given. The court defined the dll feront degrec-n of murder nnd said Iho degre Is lo bo determined by the Jury. The go\ eminent claim that you luight to llnd thn these murders wcro dellBorately prcmc'd tatcd. In considering the ovldcncu yo must needs have several legal print- pics in your mind , Ono l.i that of th presumption of innocence , nnd this prcsuni ) tlon is to bo considered in the light of ov donee , and It Is n principle founded upo that bcnlllecnt law which says.overy man I innocent until ho is proven guilty. Th character and previous life of the dofcmlai : must always bo taken Into conelduruttoi und I understand that the government u lows that there Is nothing In defendant's pat llfu previous 10 arrest to be doubted. Keen the case , the court said ; put ono part wit another , and see whether yon can concclv at this time this defendant hud toward lit stepmother n feeling that could bo pro ] erly called hatred. If ] this conception I not warranted by the evidence- , then : ihould not have weight In your mind. There Mu t llo No Doubt. The government claims these acts coin under the head of murder In the Ural dojrct The law claims that , In order to prove tin everything claimed must bo proven beyond reasonable doubt. Continuing , it was stated that the govori mcnt presents this case on clroumslantlo evidence. If iho evidence loft the jury I reasonable doubt as to whether slio wii where her father was when he wus mui dcrod , then the doubt would bn fatal to It government's caso. U was understood t the court that the government i-.lutmed th : an essential fact was embraced in the nol matter ; that she had made statcraru which she know wire faUo when she wi umkluif them. There are thrco grounds I base this on ; First , the man who wrote I second , the mnn who brought It has not bee found ; and third , there was no note. What motlvo had defendant to invent itory like this ! asked the court. Would IK It have been more natural for her to sn limply that her stepmother had gone out 1 WM It Bttural thing ( or h < to say , to Invent that which , at any tltno , might bo brought against her ? It is said no letter wns found , ro ll > lity ; of Two A < t ln . But contemplate the possibility of tharo being another assassin. Might it not bo a part of the scheme of the assassin ? Might ho not have como on her when the note was there nt hand , might ho not have had reason to remove it ns ono of the links ? In circum stantial evidence unless every link holds good the chain Is worthless , ( Hero the court gave several Illustrations of his mean ing ) . The jury was asked to bear In mind the supposed facts that the defendant had no blood on her clothes when seen first nnd there was nothing to connect her with the murder so far as outward appearances went. In nnlcr to warrant conviction it was not In cumbent on the government to show that she alone had the opportunity. Was the de fendant In the house when thcso pcoplo wcro killed ? Are the views of the experts cor rect ? Was this defendant capable of doing this work ? The goyornmcnt claims that she was not In the barn at the time she said she was , and makes other charges which the Jury must carefully weigh for their actual weight. The Jury was again cautioned against receiving statements for facts. Cnllliii ; attention to medical exports , the court seemed Inclined to place small reliance upon them , ns n general thlmr.'uml the Jury was given to understand that it must glvo to expert testimony just as much weight as It thought it ought to receive. The Jury was cautioned against not noting In any way the fact that the defendant did not take the stand , The court said the burden of proof Is on the government and the defendant Is not obliged to shoulder any of it. The Jury was not to deal with the evidence in a captious spirit. If not legally guilty , you are to say so. The jury was uskcd to think over care fully whether a person contemplating a mur der would bo likely to tell a friend of it or predict it in any way the very day before hand. In thn matter of dress the court asked the jury to say whether It could extract from all the descriptions of the dress enough knowledge to make it valuable evidence. "Not Guilty" Is the Verdict. iVt the conclusion of the charge the at torneys consulted a few moments. The jury was allowed to retire and counsel agreed upon what exhibits wcro to bo put into to the case , after which it was brought in again , the oath administered by the clerk of the court and the jury took the case. It was Just 4:40 : o'clock when the specta tors , who had kept their seats patiently during the retirement of the Jury , noticed a movement indicating its return. A mo ment later tbo twelve men filed into their scats and wcro polled. Miss Bordcn was asked to stand up , and iho foreman was asked to return the ver dict , which ho announced "Not guilty. " Then all the dignity and decorum of the court room vanished. A cheer went up which might have been heard half a mile i way through the open windows nun there was no attempt to check it. The stately justices looked right ahead at thebaro walls luring the tremendous excitement , which lasted fully a minute. Miss Borden's head went down upon the rail in front of her and tears came where they had refused to como for many a long day as she heard the sweetest words over [ loured into her willing ears. Mr. Jennings was almost crying und his voice broke as lie put his hand out to Mr. Adams , who sat next to him , and said ' -Thank God , " while Mr. Adams retu.-ned the pressure of the hand and seemed incapable of speech. Gov ernor Robinson turned to the rapidly dis- solvinT"1ury as they filed out of their scats and gleamed on them witn a fatherly in terest in his kindly eye and stood up as Mr. Knowllon nnd Mr. Moody came over to shako hands with counsel for the defense. Soon as possible the hall was cleared , which was a hard task , since everybody wanted to shako hands with Miss Borden. When the spectators had finally gone she was taken to the room of the justices and allowed to recover her composure with only the oycs of friends upon her and in the care of devoted admirers. TAt the expiration of an hour she was placed in n carriage and driven to the station , where she took the " train for Fall Hlver , her homo no longer , probably , but still her only objective point for the immediate present. US1.\G THIS KXMFJS. Transcontinental Kates Cut by the Great Northern Airaln. CHICAGO , Juno 20. The Great Northern put the knife into transcontinental rates again today by announcing a rate of f3l llrst class and $33 second class from St. Paul to San Francisco. This includes berth nnd meals on the steamer from Scattlo to San Francisco. This move on the part of the Great Northern will drag the Union Paclilc into the light without delay unless that road Is prepared to sacrifice Its Port land business , which of course , It will not do without a' light. As soon as the passenger meeting in Denver adjourns and mutters are settled in transmlsslouri territory , the Union Pacific will take action on the now rates of the Great Northern , which are to go into ef fect immediately. The Atchison today announced that It would put into cifcct nt once round-trip rates of ono and one-third faro from TCxae points to Chicago. The deductions are made entirelyin the south , that the rates in the Transmlssouri and West Passenger associa tion territory are slightly over the regular authorized rates. Chairman Caldwcll of the Western Pas senger association has decided that roads accepting business from the Canadian Pa cific uro entitled to the regular trulnc rate of $11,50 for the haul from St. Paul Instead ol F.I.CO , the World's fair rale. This is a denial - nial of the requests made by the Canadian Pacific , but as the Great Northern has already shut It practically off from the Chicago cage business iho matter is of not great im- portunco to them.

Those who had backed the winning horses were jubilant over their success , while these who had lost were making merry with others who wcro in the same plight.

The cnplno and the lirst two cars ran along upon the track dragging behind them the other cars of the train bumping and 'rolling along the tics up the very mouth of the tunnel.
