WAS PREMEDITATED
NEW YORK MANS ACT WAS NOT
ACCIDENTAL.
Alfred Morrison, who Claimed He
Took His Wife for q Burglar aud
Shot Her. Arrested on the Charge
of Murder-other Items.

New York: Alfred Morrison, who shot
and killed n of his wives, with whom he
was living in Mt. Vernon. was arrested,
arraigned and held to the grand jury on
the charge of murder in the first degree.
Morrison, on the night Of Dec. s, shot his
wife, Aida. and she died the following day.
He appeared to be grief stricken over the
affair, and told q pitiful tale Of how the
shooting was the result of a fright occa-
stoned by a dream of burglars. The
woman herself, knowing that death was
certain, said that the shooting was acci-
dental, and attributed it to the SANE cause
as Morrison did. The coroner's Jury ex-
Oncrated him.
Some days later Morrison's original
wife, whom he married many years ago
under the name of Gordon, gave out the
information that the man was q bigamist,
and had practically abandoned her, and
from that time on facts tending to place
Morrison in a bad light have been de-
velOped. The police have been Watching
Morrison ever since, and it was rumored
that he was acting like a crazy man.
When he was placed under arrest, how
ever, he was very quiet and perfectly COM
posed. Morrison was committed to Jail
without bail.
District Attorney Andrews claimed
that he had sufficient evidence to prove
that Morrison, in shooting his wife, COM
United a deliberate and premeditated
murder.

CONDENSED FORM.
Strange influence Of a Hired Man
Accounts for the Disappearance
OF the Wife of a wcll.to.Do Far.
mcr-Othcr Items.

The first case in the history of the state
in which a South DokOta woman was in
duced to desert her husband and elOpe by
reason of the hypnotic influence Of her
tempter, is reported from the little town of
Irene, situated at the point where Yank-
ton, Clay and Turner Counties Join.
About five weeks ago the wife Of
Peter Nelson a well-t0-do farmer
farmer disappeared together with her
baby, leaving her husband and two
small children. Mrs. Nielsen was highly
respected by those who knew her, and as
her home life was known to be happy, no
reason could be assigned for her disap-
pcarance. Now, however, the mystery
has been solved by the receipt by her
husband Of a letter from her, writ
ten from a town in Kansas, asking
him to send her a ticket so herself and
baby can return home. She explained her
strange conduct by saying that she was
h%ypnotized by the hired man in the en-
plOy of her husband, but now the
strange influence he exercised over her
had been removed. The hired man re-
ferrcd to is described rs a good representa-
tive of the average stage william. He is tall
and has piercing black eyes and black
hair. lie is said to have formerly travelled
with Il party of transformers" in which
he exhibited his skill in so-called black
art. His present whereabouts are un-
known. Nielsen has complied with the
request of his wife for a railroad ticket so
her baby and herself may return to their
South Dakota home, where a complete
reconciliation will be effected.
