stantly since that time, for the last doz-
en- years he has seen more or less Of him,
while Morris was acting as guide; for
the last five1or six years he had noticed
that he was detected, and he had heard
him say that people were going to kill
him. Witness had told him it was all
nonsense, but Morris insisted and there
the conversation would end. Had heard
him make this talk several times, the last
time was last June. since the shooting.
Lindley II. Folsom testified that ten or
eleven years ago he had heard Morris
state that some party was after him and
was going to kill him. He had the i'm
preston that he had advised Mrs. Nor
ris to take her husband to Augusta and
consult with DIR. Harlow of the insane
asylum in relation to his case. and that
he had written friend at Augusta to
meet Mrs. Morris at the train and to as
sist her.

years ago he SAW Morris sitting at the
window at his fathers. weeping, and
that Morris's father had told him there
was something the matter with Charlie
and he didn't know what it was. Mrs.

elder Morris's at about the same time
and saw the prisoner there; that he
looked very wild and left the room as if

oner, the government offered the tesui-
mony of officers to show the efforts made

Ira G. Hersey. Esq. an attorney in
Houlton, testified that in response to a
message from Morris he went to the Jail
to see him: that Morris told MIN that the
man in the cell with him was going to
kill him, and he wished the witness to
get the man away if he could; that this
man would sit for two hours in the cell
every day and threaten his life; the pris-
oner talked for quite long time in this
strain and he could get nothing more out
of him and finally left him. Morris had
sent for him several times since, but he
mad not responded.
Mrs. Rsbecca Tobin, a stster-in-law Of
the prisoner, testified that she first knew
Morris fourteen years ago. and had seen
him occasionally since then; he had been
subject to melancholy spells. and would
say that all hands were down on him and
would give him no chance TO live, and
that they tried to encourage him, but he
would not he encouraged.
Fred Harvey,a brother in-law, testified
that he had seen Morris quite frequently
for the past five years, and observed that
be acted and talked queerly; he couldn't
make much sense out of his talk.
Drs. George Gary and Harry L. Put
nam testified to two conversations held
with the prisoner at The Jail recently.
Morris's ordinary conversation was ra-
tional, but when this shooting affair was
mentioned he showed signs of what the
authorities call hailuoination. The ply
sicians were examined at some length
upon the the mental condition of Morris.
Miss Amanda Pelkey testified that she
was present at the house where the shoot
ing occurred. and, before the shots were
fired heard Morris offer her sister five
dollars for the privilege of shooting the
baby. On oross-examination the witness
corrorated Mr.. Collins as to the cir Gu NJ
stances of the shooting.
In rebuttal Deputy Sheriff Otis Martin
OF Guilford, was called az to the circum-
stances of Morris's arrest near Kineo, and
his appearance and behavior at that
time. Morris took his rifle from the bed
room, carried it to the door and threw it
into the lake. After getting to Kineo
with Morris he searched him and found
revolver in his pocket, but was unable
to learn how he got it there.
AT this point the court adjourned un-
til Thursday.

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL "a, 1896.

WHETHER OR not the unit rule
should be adopted at the State demo-
cratic convention is question now De-
ing debated by some of the State news.
papers. The fundamental principles OF
the democratic party are the rule OF the
majority, and, therefore, the rights OF
the States, and not of the opinions OF
the districts or of the individuals OF the
States. Good and true democrats will
always subject themselves to the rule
of their party, and it does those who
have attended national democratic
conventions good to hear the solid
vote of New York and other States an
nounced for a particular candidate,
though they know that some OF the
delegates from those States would pre-
fer any body else. Then, too, while a
State with divided delegation has lit
tie or no influence in national conven'
ton. with solid one, its influence is
potential, and sometimes decisive. Ii
is hoped that the State convention may
not declare for free silver, but if the
majority of the delegates vote that it
shall, it will be the bounden duty OF
every true democrat in the State to
submit. Obedience to orders is as nee
essary for the success of a party as for
that of an army.
