LIZZIE BORDEN Ths Jury Quickly Returns a Ver- diot of "NotQuilty." B0ENES'' IK EMOTIONAL C0UBT. Th. sheriff So Deeply Affected Tht lie Mull Km Attempt t Stay the Thou deroae Outburst of Applause That Fol lowed the Announcement. New DliDFonp, Mass,, June 31. The concluding portion of District Attorney Knowlton's argument In the llnrden rn.fr d.r trial was a brilliant arraignment of tb. prisoner, whose bitter hatred of the stepmother he described as suftlclent mo tiv. for the first crime. Th. second mur- LIZZIB BORDElf. der became necessary In order to hide the staying of her stepmother, Mr, Know! ton oonoluded with a critical review of the evidence. After a recess the defendant was given an opportunity to speak. She said: "lam Innocent, but I will leave my case In your hands and with my counsel." Justice Dewey, In charging the Jury, stated the presumption, which was In creased by the defendant's character, and aid that guilt must lie proved to a moral eertalnty to warrant a conviction. The Justice concluded his charge to the Jury at 8:15, and they at once retired, while a breathless silence fell over the orowded court room, which was unbroken until the return of the twelve men who held Lizzie Borden't life In their hands. The Jurors filed Into their seats at 4:80, and were polled. Miss Bordeu was asked to stand up, ajjd the foreman was asked to return the verdict, upon, whloh he an nounced 'not guilty." After the verdict had been received the district attorney moved that the other cases against Miss Borden be nolle prosit! . and the order of the court was to that ef fect. Justice Mason then gracefully thanked the Jurors In appreciation of their work and faithful service. The jury was then dis missed and court was adjourned until Monday next, when the regular criminal session will be opened. Miss Borden's head went down upon the rati In front of hr and tears vame where they had refused to come for many a long day as she heard the sweetest words ever poured Into her willing cars the words "aot guilty." Mr, Jennings was almost crying, and his voice broke as he put his hand out to Mr. Adams, who sat next to him, and said, "Thank God," while Mr. Adams returned the pressure or toe nana ana seemed ln- eapauie or sprecb. The closinK scene in the trial was in direct contrast with those whloh had preceded It, 1 Heretofore all nan boen decorous and in keeping with the dignity of the' most dig nified court In the country. But when the rerdlot of "not guilty" was returned a eheer went up which might have been heard half a mile away through the opeu windows, and there was no attempt to heck It, The stately Judges looked straight ahead at the bare walls. Sheriff Wright was powerless to wield the gavsl, and not once during the tremendous ex citement, which lasted fully a minute, did he make the slightest sign or having heard it, He never saw the people rising In their seats and waving their handkerohlefs, In unteon with their voices, because his eyes were full of tears and were completely blinded for the time. Governor Hoblnson turned to the rapidly dissolving jury as they filed out of their seats and beamed on them with a fatherly Interest In his kindly eyes, and stood up as Mr. Knowlton and Mr. Moody came over to shake hands with the counsel for the defense. When the spectators had finally eone Miss Bordeu was taken to the room ot the Justices and allowed to recover her com posure with only the eyes of friends upon her and the oaresr.es of devoted admirers. At the expiration of an hour she was ' ?.Ueed ""V. "V1?" 1 ,hrVU- , IIUO.
