Miss Morrison Charged With Murder
at FL Dorado, Kansas.
her VICTIM WAS ANOTHER WOMAN
Razor Was the Weapon Used to
Commit the Deed.
SHE CLAIMS SELF-DEFENCE

Ell DORADO, Kan, November 21-Miss
Jessie Morrison, charged with killing Mrs.
DIN Castle last June, by cutting her throat
day. The case is one of the most remark
able in the history of Kansas crimes Miss
Morrison's alleged motive for the murder
was Jealousy. She was former sweet
heart of Castle, who is clerk in a store
Miss Morrison, who is twenty-six years
old, is the daughter of former Probate
Judge M. H. Morrison. and the family has
been prominent in Ell Dorado society for
years. Mrs. Castle, who was Miss Mary
Wiley was the same age as her alleged
murderer. Her family also was well-to-do.
short time before Castles marriage to
Miss Wiley, Miss Morrison, who had for
nerly clerked in the same store with him,
Is said to have threatened Castle. One at
ternoon, few weeks after the wedding,
neighbors attracted by Mrs. Castles
screams. broke into her house. They found
her lying in a pool Of blood from several
ugly gashes in her throat, and with Miss
Morrison, razor in hand, bending over the
PROSTATE woman. Miss Morrison, too, was
bleeding from several cuts.
Mrs. Castles Statement.
Mrs. Castle lived for eighteen days Be-
fore she died she made a statement declar-
ing that Miss Morrison had attacked her
without provocation and sent word forgiv-
ing her. The prosecution will contend that
the defendant deliberately planned the muir
der, going to the Castle home armed with a
razor, purchased on purpose. and after ac-
Complishing her mission she turned the
blade upon herself.
Miss Morrison will plead self-defense Her
side of the story is that Mrs. Castle had
called her into the house, and after start
ing a. quarrel attacked her with a razor
which she took from a bureau drawer in
the room. In the struggle that followed
Miss Morrison declared, she wrenched the
weapon from her adversary, after receiving
several cuts and defending herself, inflicted
several slashes in the victims throat. Much
of Miss Morrisons time in Jail has been
spent in reading the Bible.
The trial will doubtless become a legal
battle as eminent lawyers have been en-
gagged on both sides. The defense won a
point recently when it secured a copy of
Mrs. Castles dying statement, which was
refused them at the preliminary hearing.
DIN Castle, the man in the case. Is young
er than either of the women concerned.

the child have what she likes: 1t won't hurt her
any. He referred particularly to my drinking
