Th« Woman Answers Not Qulltjr to Thro*
Indictments for Murder.
New Bedford, Mass., May 10.—Liz
zie Andrew Borden, who has been an
inmate of the Taunton jail ever since
August last under indictment for the
murder, on August 4, in Fall River, of
her father, Andrew Jackson Borden,
and her stepmother, Abbie Durfee Bor
den, has been arraigned in the superior
court new in session in this city. The
The authorities thought to keep the ar
raignment quiet and preserve the ut
most secrecj*. News of the coming of
Miss Borden had. however, reached the
city and caused a commotion.
On her arrival at the courthouse, she
was conducted to the district attorney’s
room and remained there until 5:15
o’clock, the court being occupied. Miss
Borden was then escorted up stairs to
the court. The district attorney moved
that Miss Borden be arraigned, and the
clerk of the court said:
“Lizzie Andrew Borden, stand- up.”
And she did so, looking steadily at him
while he read slowly and solemnly three
indictments of two counts each. Two
of them charged her with the murder
of Andrew J. Borden and Abbie Durfeo
Borden separately, and the other charged
her with the murder of both. At the
end of each indictment the clerk asked:
“Lizzie Andrew Borden, what say you
to this indictment, are you guilty or not
guiltv?” and to each sho replied clearly,
calmly i
calmly and steadily, “I am not guilty.”
Judge Hammond said there appeared
to be no necessity for the assignment of
counsel, and told Mr. Jennings he could
enter the appearance of himself and
Messrs. George B. Robinson and M. Q.
Adams. The court was then adjourn
ed, and after waiting a moment or two
for the spectators to disappear. Sheriff
Wright, his wife and Miss Borden left
the room, and in company with Mr.
Jennings, proceeded to the room of Dis
trict Attorney Knowlton. where they
stopped till it was time to go to tlit
train. Mr. Jennings accompanied the
sheriff, his wife and Miss Borden to the
station, where the three took the 5:30
o’clock train for Taunton, where Miss
Borden will be again imprisoned until
her trial.
SCANDAL IN ARIZONA.
The Territorial I’rUon Under » Thorough
Invefttlgntion—Ilig Steulnge.
Tuscox, May 10.—Advices from Yf-
ma say that the investigation of the
Arizona Territorial prison at Yuma,
which has been begun by the Demo
cratic administration of the territory,
reveals a startling state of affairs. Su
perintendent of the Prison W. K. Meade
and Attorney General Francis Henry
are causing the prison and cells of the
convicts to be searched. No fewer than
32 daggers, butcher knives, saws, files
and slug shots were found, besides mor
phine and other drugs. Boxes of goods
which were about to be shipped out by
M. Mclnernany, the superintendent un
der the former administration, were
seized at the railroad depot and found
to contain several hundred dollars’
worth of prison property. Mclnernany
was arrested and held to bail to await
the action of the grand jury. Further
developments are expected, as a very
large amount of prison property is still
missing. Several guards have returned
property, claiming that the superinten
dent told
>ld them to take it.
And now it is claimed that the lit
tle gold box at Chicago does not con
tain the remains of C. Columbus, and
the whole affair is a humbug. That’s
immaterial, the Americans love to be
humbugged.—Albany Herald.
The old confederate veterans have
accepted the result of the war but
they will never forget the dead com
rades who fell fighting by their sides.
This truth was recently demonstrated
all over the the south in the celebra
tion of memorial day.
The movement in the Florida legis
lature to provide Indians in the Ever
glade section with homesteads, edu
cation and a better Christian training
is a good one. The Indians are the
remnant of the once powerful Semi
nole tribe, their inclinations are peace
ful and friendly and they should be
considered the wards of church and
state.
