very difficult wound to heal. as all the
tissues were destroyed
In answer 10 a question witness said
that his knowledge Of and experience in
surgery made him believe, and that it
was MS opinion, that Mrs. Castles death
was caused by the wounds. Defense OBJ
jected, was overruled and took yexcep-
tions. Defense took the witness and the
nature Of the examination was plain that
the defense intended TO make a strong
mt from the fact that the physI Inns
performed an operation. He was asked
what was the relative position of the
wounds with the person who inflicted the
wounds. This was objected 10 by the
county attorney and was sustained by
! the court. The defense attempted to get
the witness to tell who was present when
the operation was performed and just
what happened at the time. but he was
not allowed TO answer 1t. He was closely
/ examined as to whether or not he be-
lieved Mrs. Castle would get well. and
the witness half way admitted and then
afterwards positively stated that he
thought she would get well after she had
lasted as long as she did. The defense
made strong point on this feature Of
the case Witness said that eight days
before Mrs. Castles death ne abandoned
the hope that she would recover Dr.
koogler was subjected TO a severe cross
examination by Attorney Schumacher
/ Witness could not say whether the cuts
were made downward. Cross-examination
brought out the fact that the memoran-
/ dunn Of the wounds was not the original
and was not written by the witness at
! the Castle home. as was previously stat
/ ed, but that 1t was a copy and was writ
! ten by DR.. L. Fulinwider The defense
moved that the memorandum be stricken
from the evidence, but was overruled.
Exceptions were taken.
/ Dr.. FulIinwider was the next witness
called He was present when Mrs Cas-
ties wounds were first examined He
/ described the injuries and practically cor
roborated the testimony Of Dr. Koogler
and no further developments were
brought out
During the testimony of Drs. FuIlin-
wider and K0ogler, who described Mrs.
Castles wounds, DIN Castle sat with his
feet hanging over the arm Of an office
chair. His head was dropped. with his
hands on his chin. For fully five minutes
he held this position with his eyes fixed
steadily on the woman who now stands
accused of wrecBing his home. He looked
into space, but his eyes were directed at
Miss Morrison Once or twice she look
ed at Mr.. Castle but they were only
short, side glances. She was not the
least affected. Mr.. Castles mother was
present beside her boy She was in
mourning and heavily yelled, but through
the veil tears were noticeable in her eyes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley were not present at
the court room.
Mrs. E. B. MoberIy, who resides across
the street from the Castle cottage on
Merchant street, was the next witness

was one Of the two women who forced
an entrance to the house after their at
tention was attracted by Mrs. Castles
screams. She went to the house and won't

hands through the screen door. Witness

the floor in a pool Of blood with Jessie
Morrison bending over her. fixing some
thing at her shoe. Directing her words
to Jessie, she said, My God, woman,
what are you trying 10 do?' she tried
to Kill me-" replied Miss Morrison Wit

shoulder and pulled her back: that Miss

went to the door; that when Jessie had
something about a letter. that she found
a letter lying under Mrs. Castle: that II
was covered with blood and that she
was unable 70 see II. as the injured
