The attorneys for both state and de-
Tense. were in the court room early. fully
prepared for the battle Of the day. Tbs
real battle Of the day was to be ovei

Castle as published in the Eagle. The

JESSIE APPEARS HAPPIER
The prisoner appeared to be in better
spirits than usual She was still dressed
in black. wearing a brown jacket, as she
sat in the court room. She talked to her
sisters and smiled often as she did so.
Judge Morrison, during the discussion
Of the attorneys, read the papers and
once in a while made some comment
about the articles to his daughter. She
merely glanced at the papers and would
look at him and smile and glance back
at the attorneys again.
CLARA CASTLES MOTHER.
mother of Clara Wiley Castle, appeared
in the court room. She sat beside her
husband and son in the rear of the at
torneys for the state Mrs. Wiley was
dressed in black and wore a black hat to
match her costume. She is q tall w0-
man with a bright face and eyes. Her
hair IS tinged with gray and there are
lines on her face which have not been
there long.
There is a look Of sadness on her face
which impresses one and causes him TO
look again Mrs Wiley is said to have
been Of a jovial disposition and in looks,
her daughter is said to have resembled
her to a great extent. During the morn
ing she looked straight at the attorneys
and listened attentively to the arguments
submitted in the statement written by
her daughter. Clara Wiley Castle. Mrs.
Wiley has been so broken over the whole
affair that she has not been permitted to
read the papers. Mr. Wiley would often
lean his head on his hands and there
were often traces of tears in his eyes.
as he heard the name of his daughter
mentioned so often.
