FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 11.-Lizzie Borden is under arrest charged with murdering her father and step-mother last Thursday morning at their home on Second Street. She was brought into the Second District Court room about 3 o'clock this afternoon, presumably to give further evidence at the inquest. Miss Borden was accompanied by her sister and Mrs. Brigham. As was the case yesterday, all the proceedings were carried on behind locked doors.

When Miss Lizzie returned from the third inquiry she was a physical and mental wreck and was conducted to the matron's room. The inquest was adjourned about 4 o'clock.  District Attorney Knowlton and other officials went to the Marshal's private office, where they remained closeted for two hours. Shortly after 6 o'clock City Marshal Hilliard and District Attorney Knowlton drove to the home of Andrew Jennings, who had been the family's attorney for some years. They returned at about 7 o'clock, and went into the matron's room, where Lizzie was lying on the sofa.  The reading of the warrant was waived. The lady took the announcement of her arrest with surprising calmness. Two women who were with her were much more visibly affected.

The excitement on the street was very great when the news of the arrest became known, although some hours previous it was generally understood that Miss Borden was soon to be made a prisoner. Miss Borden was searched by Mrs. Russell shortly after she was formally placed in custody.

Marshal Hilliard said to-day, in answer to questions as to whether or not the police had given up all hopes of locating a murderer outside of the Borden family, that three clues were already being run down and none of them would in any way implicate a member of the household. He said he had not been stinted in money nor men by the City Government because of political complications. It has been proved that the milk drank by the Borden family was not poisoned when it was taken from the Borden farm and brought to the city. Members of the family in charge of the farm drank it, and they were affected in no noticeable way.
