FAM.RIVER, Aug. 10:30 o'clock yesterday Medical Examiner Dolan was called to the stand. The witness testified to the position of the bodies of the murdered couple when found, and to Bonding their stomachs to Prof. Wood of Harvard college, for analysis.

Surveyor Kicrnan then took the stand, Sir. Kiernan submitted plans showing the interior and exterior of the Borden homestead, with measurements of the rooms, description and measurements of the land, height of fences, location of the barn, He saw blood spots and located them in tho plans. A place in the plans shews where a piece of board had been taken from tho kitchen. Witness gave descriptions of the position of the blood spots, five feet four inches above tho sofa there were blood on the picture. Mr.

Jennings cross-examined witness. Witness did not notice the direction, character or slope of the blood spots. The blood spots on the picture were difficult to find, and could be seen only when the light fell on it from a certain point. The piece of wood he saw in the marshal's office exactly fitted the space where a piece was cut from the door. Lizzie bore an expressionless countenance and bit at the edge of a palm-leaf fan, while Emma hid her face behiud a similar article.

Dr. Dolan'was called back to the stand and the district attorney asked him to describe the appearance of Mr. Bordeu's body when the cloth was lifted from the -dead man's face. Men were more plentiful and the women correspondingly scarce. This was probably due to a dreary rain that made the atmosphere in the court room close, mu Cgy and generally uncomfortable.

The prisoucr aud her friends came in at 9.55 unattended except by the city marshal. Lizzie walked firmly after her sister and took her usual seat at the end of a settle between her two counsel- lors. She busied herself reading a letter written on a sheet of foolscap paper. The examination was resumed a few minutes before 10 o'clock. Mr.

Adams called Dr. Dolan to tbe stand. Dr. Dolan said that he had not measured the handle of the hatchet, but he had concluded that 'it was about 18 inches to two feet in length. Bethought the murderer stood just behind Mrs.

Borden's head, but could not say if he struck with both hands. He struck a blow perhaps while she was standing np and the others were struck when she had fallen down. Her assassin might have stood astride the body, about the location of the hips. He must have neces- sairly been spotted with blood. The lower part more thru the upper part.

The hands of the mi may or may not have been covered with blood. Witness did not give any one permission to clean the wood work in the house, The Departments at Washington Taking Steps to Prevent Spread of Cholera.

IBy Associated Tress to the WASHINGTON, Aug.

In accordance with the recommendation of the supervising Surgeon General of tho hospital Brit-vice, the collector of customs at New Tork has been directed to refuse to allow the entry of licorice root, coming from Batonm, Russia, inasmuch as Bif- tonm is the cenre of the infected district in Russia, and cholera has been prevailing in that city, in epidemic form, during the present season. While licorice root is not likely to convey the infection department think the bagging used in the covering the bales is a source of danger and docs cot deem it advisable to allow the importation thereof. The Treasury Department is advisee! through the United States Consul Odessa, Hnssia, that he has given Consul Martin at Rastalf instructions to refuse to certify all invoices without any explanation, presumably on account of the prevalence of cholera in that district. The department has requested Secretary Foster of the State Department that BOIES, IDAHO, Ang. II.

The next wound commenced at the frontal bone over the eye, out the ball clean in two parts, broke the cheek bone and shattered the jaw bone. Many other cuts showed on the left side of the face. Almost over the ear was a crush wound one and one-half inches wide and four inches long, which literally smashed the skull. There wore ten wounds in all in the face and side of the head, all of them parallel. Nearly all of them were deep and cut through to the bone.

About a week after the murder I saw all the vital organs of the body ai'd found no other apparent cause of death. caused Mr. Borden's died from shock. Th3 witness then told a story of the bloody spots found in tho room, saying the i.ide of Mr. Hordcn's head and face was covered with Wood.

The shirt was and tub back of his clothes Boakul. His head lay not on the arm of the Kiifa, but in lie angle. The blood not clotted, but was fresh and still oozing from the wounds, and tho body rtill warm. Witness described the various blood spots at length. There were spots on the celling, pictures, doors and wall paper.

Tbe wounds were made by a sharp instrument, probably an axe or hatchet. The Mows wore struck at tho weakest part of the skull, where it is not ono- twelftli of an inch thick. Dr. Dolan said that there 10 wounds on Mrs. Borden's person.

Fourteen of them were in a small space back of the head over her car. Pieces of tho skull were driven into the brain. All the wounds were made with a sharp instrument. In tho witness's opinion, lire. Borden had been dead about an hour the blood spots.

He saw Mrs. Holmes at the house several times, but did not tell her she could wash the woodwork. Would certainly dispute Mrs. Holmes if she said that he bad allowed her to to wash the blood off the woodwork. Ifthe part of the door was washed it was done wilfully by some member of the family.

Saturday after the murder I think the part of door was washed. It had light spots on it and there were several on the door jamb. No other place in the sitting room, continuing witness, said that no one handled the axe except himself, so far as he knew, aud he did not recall whether to invoices should hot be refused for the reason stated. Secretary Spanlding says that copies the department circulars of the 8th ult. and 17th and 18th insts.

have been sent to the Secretary of State, with the request that the proper consular officers bi- furnished therewith. The Secretary of State was also requested to communicate by cablegram with the Consul General at London. the axe was on the table or not. Witness examined the handle first, when Mayor Conghlin called his attention to it in the marshal's office. Believed that the blade had been washed.

The ax was not damp, except as everything is liable to be damp in an earthen floored cellar. Tbe aves were found on the earth. There was a lively spat then between the witness aud the attorney, crowing out of confusing questions relating to the degree of dampness iu a cellar. Witness would not say the axes were "bone" dry. As far as he knew no one handled the ax iu the marshal's room or before.

Search for Mr. Borden's clothes was conducted by the undertaker. Keys, some silver money and some documents were found, tied in a handkerchief and were locked in the examiner's safe, of Mr. and Mrs. Borden had been disinterred and head removed by instruction of Attorney General, skulls were cleaned and bodies are now buried without heads.

Skulls were photographed and are now in witness' possession. None of the Borden family knew of occurrence. Others testified to seeing Mr. Borden on the morning of the tragedy. Search for Samuel Robinsky, whose alleged letter purported to furnish clue to murder yesterday, has been unsuccessful.

E. C.

No papers in tbe case will be filed until after Monday, on which day the.funeral will be held, but the family has already secured attorneys aud will fight the case to the bitter end. The contestants will allege that Col.

Smeed was not in condition to make a will at the time the instrument was executed; that he was unduly influenced in the matter, aud will also make charges of a very sensational nature. The family is very highly connected and from the prominence of some the members much interest is taken in the case. Mr. C. S.

Cross, the son-in-law of tho deceased and husband of the contestant, is the President of the First National bank of Emporia, Kansas, aud his father is N. C. Cross, late President of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railroad company. Mrs. Cross is a leader in Emporia society aud is one of the most popular and respected ladies in eastern Kansas.

Mrs. Nicholas, the lady who is to figure very prominently in the case, has been a resident of this city for a number of years and is the divorced wife of A. B. Nicholas, from whom she secured a decree in 1886, on the ground of nonsupport. Although 50 years of age she is a very handsome woman, with a wealth of prematurely silver hair and has been an object of much interest about the Murray Hotel, where sho has made her home.

Col. Smeed, who was 10 years her senior, had elegant quarters in tho Withuell block. Tho divorce of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas was secured by mutual consent aud on tho day the papers were filed an agreement was also filed in the office of the Register of Deeds THE CHOLERA PLAGDE IN ENGLAND.

Passengers From Hamburg Bring the Disease With Them and Are Allowed to laves it Feare Have Lost in the Welsh Di- stase Reported to be Abating at Antwerp. Associated Press to the LONDON, Ang. fearful mining accident occurred this morning at the Parkslip coal pit near Brigeman, a ing town in Glamorganshire, Wales. The day shift of miners had not been long in the mines when a most terrible explosion was heard. The day shirt comprised 150 men, and their relatives and friends rushed to the pit mouth to learn the extent of the disaster.

The explosion had caused the earth and rock to fall and the mouth of the pit was closed. Not a single man of the 150 in the mine had made his escape and it is feared that there has been great loss of life. Hundreds of the miners in the vicinity have volunteered their services and the work of clearing the pit mouth is being pushed as rapidly as circumstances will permit. All around the pit are gathered women and children hoping for, the best, yet expecting the worst. The mine officials hold out all the hope possible, but they fail to make the wives and mothers believe that there is much hope.

PrxEGROVE, Aug. Samuel Werner, a well-known farmer living at Rock, station on the S. S. railroad, several miles from here, was struck by an engine while walking on the track and had an arm and leg cnt off. He lingered in Croat agony until 3 o'clock this morning when he expired.

by which all the property was conveyed to Mrs. Nicholas, with the stipulation that it should be turned over to Mr. Nicholas at any time that he had $50,000 with which he desired to part. This payment however was never made and sometime afterward Mr. Nicholas quit-claimed all his interest in the property.

This property is still in Mrs. Nicholas' name aud there is on it a mortgage for 85,000 in favor of Colonel Smeed for money advanced to Mrs. Nicholas. During the years since the divorce was granted Mr. and Mrs.

Nicholas have sustained very friendly business relations. Several months ago Colonel Smeed left for the East for a period of rest in the hope ot benefiting his health and Mrs. Nicholas went with him. The relatives in Kansas did not learn of his illness until a few days ago and Mr. and Mrs.

Cross started at once for Philadelphia. They did not dream that the illness was a serious one and not until they were about to take the train did they know of the presence of Mrs. Nicholas in the cast. They did not reach Philadplphia until 8 o'clock yesterday morning, 24 hours after Col. Smeed's death.

They will take the remains back to Emporia and the affianced will not be one of the party. 1'rs. Cross is well known in this city and is much esteemed by a wide circle of friends. During her visits her devotion to her father was much remarked, but for the last two or three years she has remained away from Omaha much more than she otheiwise would because of Mrs. Nicholas and the manner in which she interested herself in Colonel Smeed and his affairs.

Colonel Smeed's estate is variously estimated at from $50,000 to 8100,000 and the suit "that is to decide where it will go will be of the nature that attracts court room audiences.
