letter in hopes that he could get soma
money from US"
After talking for time Judge Morri-
son proceeded to write a letter and sat
at the desk of the clerk Of the district
court. Meanwhile a sister Of Miss Nor
rison who has not been TO see her since
the trial began was visiting with her
in her room in the jail This sister was
Mrs. Lloyd Bright and lives in the south
part Of Butler county She is a large
woman and the wife Of a prosperous far
mer. She is much older than the little
prisoner and favors Mrs. Morrison very
much In fact there is very little re-
semblance between the two sisters at
first glance, but after q time one sees a
similar expression about the eyes Of the
two women. Mrs. Bright did not stay
long in the room, but expects to be in
attendance at the trial for a number Of
days.
CASTEL LOOKS WORN.
DIN Castle one Of the principal figures
in the now famous case appeared worn
yesterday for the first time His ap-
pearance was such that It caused com
ment and the man is evidently under q
high strain His intimate frineds say
that his nature is such that he does not
show what he feels as readily as many
people do and if he was in deep trouble
would not say very much about IT, Peo-
pie were inclined to criticise him be-
- IN, lob I,. al
but there was perhaps an attempt on
his part to do something TO take away
the terrible feeling which undoubtedly
was mis- as result Of the death Of the
woman whom he had married only a
week before the terrible affair has oc-
CURED. His mother, a kind looking wo-
man, is the only one in whom he con
ffdes and she knows the troubles Of her
son.
The average spectator does not real
lie what this case is costing the wealthy
county Of Butler until pencil is used in
getting an estimate. Clerk of the Dis
trict Court Osborn said yesterday that
the special venire of two hundred men
for the jury would cost the county some
thing like $1,000 or perhaps more. The
witnesses are all in attendance and this
cost makes another large amount in the
case. It is impossible to get at the entire
cost Of the case But at the present
time it has reached the thousands and
the examination Of the witnesses has not
yet begun.
The getting Of a jury for this case has
proved to be costly thing, more SO than
was first estimated.
Since the close Of the court on Satur-
day the Jurors have been under the
charge of Court Bailih Long and theyoc-
cupy the jury rooms a greater portion Of
the time No one is allowed to see the
men and they talk among themselves,
read in fact do anything to amuse them
selves that IS possible Once during Sun
day afternoon, the men were taken out
for a walk around the town and the peo-
pie Of FL Dorado watched the unusual
spectacle of seeing twelve men under
guard, as it were. Of seeing the sights
OF the town. Court Banif Long, who has
been in the Butler county court for the
past % years, was born in Ireland IN
1895 and came to this country when a
mere child. He settled in illinois and
was married there. HIS wife has been
dead for a number Of years and he owns
a little home in FL Dorado near that Of
his daughter. He was formerly a butcher
and was first appointed bailim by Sher-
if Anderson. For eight years Mr.. Long
was coroner of Butler county and held
that office in connection with his present
one. TO a reporter for the Eagle, Mr.
Long said This is the most remarkable
case we have ever had in this county.
There Is no question about that We
have had many cases and a number of
them for murder, but this is the first
time a case Of this kind in which two
women were the parties. has ever been
tried in this court room. have seen
the room crowded at times but there was
never the interest displayed that there
is at the present time"
JUDGE sHINN ON THE CASE.
Judge Shinn spent Sunday at his home
in Eureka He came back to Ell Do
RADIO much refreshed and ready for the
weeks work. Judge Shinn has been on
the bench for a number Of years and Is
with every one, but wants the
affairs Of his court to proceed rapidly
At times he gets nervous with delay
and takes a hand in the proceedings
himself In speaking Of this case. Judge
Shinn said to a reporter for the Eagle: /
This is undoubtedly the most remark .
able case that I have ever tried. 7 have
had a number of murder cases. some of /
them very complicated but this case
breaks the record for me. The idea Of
two women being the principal charact-
ers seems strange and more so when
razor is the weapon used during the af-
fair A razor is not a womsn's weapon
and is probably only used by colored
people but nevertheless. that part of it
makes it more strange. 7 have no idea
