HANDS IF JURY.

When Jessie Morrison ;;yvoke in her cell
this morning it was realization that her
fate at the hands of the jury would soon
be known. Her hope of acquittal. which
had begun to rise with the close of court
on Friday last, had become almost as
surance.
The closing arguments We're not finish
ed until 10 o'clock last night. At that
time Judge Shinn sent the Jury to a ho-
tel for the night with instructions not to
begin consideration of the verdict until
$50 O'Clock this II o-ning. At that hour
IT, jury was led into a small room in the
coult house set aside for it and it's strug-
giles begaM In the hallway outside the
mel could be heard talking loudly, ap-
parently all at the same time.
1t is the opinion of the lawyers on both
sides that no matter what the verdict
may be. it will not be reached for a day
or two. When the jury was sent out to
deliberate the prisoner and her family
retired to l.er cell.
Miss Morrison this morning received
forty letters Of sympathy. A New York
City physician extended an invitation
from himself and his wife to her TO make
her home with them when she should
have been acquitted.
