for this.

MISS MORRISON
More Evidence Is introduced
From Eye Witnesses.

EldoradO, Kan, Dec. 1.-Olin Castle
took the stand tonight against his for
mel. sweetheart, Miss Jessie Morrison,
charged with the murder of his wife.
Castle told how he and Miss Morrison
had been employed as clerks in local
racket store, and that Miss Morrison
had secured the razor with which she
killed Mrs Castle at the same store
Testifying, Castle, in answer to a ques-
ton, said that one of the razors in
stock was minus a piece Of the handle.
1t was a razor with a broken handle
that was found in the room after Mrs.
Castle was attacked by Miss Morrison.
Castle declared that his own razor
was found in the bureau drawer after
the tragedy.
He had not finished his testimony
when court adjourned until Monday
morning.
The razor with which Miss Morrison
cut Mrs. Castles throat was identified
in court earlier by Miss Clara COwles
and the prosecution introduced il as
evidence against the prisoner Miss
COwles testified that she found the
razor. which was blOodsmeaTed. on the
floor near where Mrs. Castle lay. Two
other witnesses testified that they had
seen Miss Morrison with a knife or
something similar in her hand after
she had been taken from the Castle
home by neighbOrs. Others testified to
the prisoner having entered the house,
apparently of her own accord, before
the murder was committed.
The defense, in its statements of the
case, said that they would show that
Mrs. Castle called Miss Morrison into
the HOUSE, and then attacked her.
