REMANOED TO JAIL
Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied
Miss Morrison.
SHERIFF TURNER ENJ0lNED
From Bringing Prisoner to
Sedgwick Co. Jail.

Probate Judge Randall yesterday denied
writ Of habeas corpus for the release
Of Miss Jessie Morrison. and remanded
the prisoner to jail without bail. In the
order Judge Randall enjoined Sheriff Tur-
ner Of Butler county from bringing Miss
Morrison to the Wichita jail. This is a
point in favor OF the defense, as Miss
Morrison's attorneys have been working
hard to keep her in confinement in the
Ell Dorado jail If bond was refused. 1t
| is understood that Attorneys Redeem G
Kramer and Schumacher viii go before
I the district court Of Butler county and
make application for bail. This last or
DER is decidedly against the prisoner and
the slayer of Mrs DIN Castle. the bride
| OF only a week, will be compelled to stand
! trial for murder.
1t was expected that the attorneys
could not agree on submitting the case TO
Judge Randall in transcript and that the
whole proceeding Of the preliminary trial
would have to be gone over again, but
yesterday morning they got together and
the case was submitted the defendant
prisoner was not brought into the court
room and the attendance was slack, in
terest appearing to have died out. The
entire evidence as introduced at the pre-
llminary before Judge AIlebach was
read to the court It covered 400 closely
type-written pages, representing the tes-
timony OF hfty-four witnesses. 1t con-
tanned 10000 words and required several
weeks time TO reduce it to writing.
After reading the evidence the court
deferred his decision and court took an
adjournment until 2:3o, al which time he
announced that he would issue an order.
Miss Morrison not being in the court
room this information was communi-
Gated to her by her attorneys. The two
hours IN the meantime were long ones for
her, as she anticipated being released on
bail. Court reconvened at 2:30 but IL was
fifteen minutes later before Judge Ran
dali raped for order and instructed
Sheriff Turner to bring the prisoner into
the court room. Miss Morrison is pale and
thin from her long confinement and she
presents a hagEard and oareworn appear
ance. However, she IS bearing up brave
uttered word OF complaint or dissatis-
faction over the manner in which she is
being treated at the hands Of the officers.
Judge Randall announced that he was
ready TO decide the proceeding. There
were but a few spectators in the court
room.
Judge Randall read the title Of the case
and then ordered that the prisoner. Miss
Jessie Morrison be remanded to Jail with
out bail; that she there be kept by Sher-
If Turner until the next term Of the dis |
trict court, then to appear for murder in
the first degree, and that Sheriff Turner |
De enjoined from transferring the pris- |
oner to the Sedgwick county Jail pending j
the hearing OF the case in the district /
court. The decision Of Judge Randall was /
received in silence. Not mUrmur passed !
her lips. She will be compelled TO re- /
main in Jail until final disposition is made /
Of the case in the district court next /
month. And thus another chapter is (
added to the celebrated case. Miss Nor /
rison's attorneys have stood by her faith
fully and have left nothing undone to
free her from bondage. They have
strained and exhausted every effort in her
behalf and the prisoners fate now rests
with jury OF twelve men.
At the preliminary hearing the defense
set up the claim that a fair trial was
lot being had and after Justice ALLIE
zach remanded the prisoner TO Jail with
,ut bail a writ OF habeas corpus was ap-
lied FOR. A few days ago County Attor-
ley Brurfback applied to the Greenwood
county district court for a peremptory
writ of prohibition. compelling Judge
Randall TO not further proceed with the
:ase The application was denied and
Judge Randall heard the case with the
esult narrated above.
