After the service was completed IrlenQS
Of the family crowded around Mr. Wiley
and many were the hands which ciasped
in hghHning grasp, showing the sym
pathy which they wished to express TO
him To some Of his more intimate
friends he talked of the sad affair which
resulted In the death Of his daughter.
during the first week Of her welded
life. This was too much for him and
the tears long held. coursed down the
cheeks Of that man.
LITTLE PRISONERS SUNDAY.
The members of the Morrison family
were with the little prisoner in her room
in the Jail during the greater portion Of
the day. This fidelity on the part Of the
family IS remarkable, for Jessie Morri-
son has every care that could Zoe be-
slowed upon any one a prisoner con
fined liz a room IN a jail. There were
books and papers which reached her
room during the day, but Jessie Nor
rison had too many visitors to read until
late Sunday night The little prisoner
was becomingly dressed in a neat fit
ing gown and appeared cheerful all the
time. She talked with her relatives and
friends and to the casual observer.
there would not be the least impression
that she was being tried for the murder
Of young woman whom she had known
for number Of years. The members Of
the family were in good spirits and ap-
peared cheerful with the exception Of
Judge Morrison The strain on this kind
looking man has been severe and It is
beginning to tell on him. There are ac-
centuated lines on his face that were not
there some days ago, but for all that he
has not lost hope in the case of his
daughter.
The two brothers were in their sisters
room for time during the morning and
afternoon. They said cheering words to
the little prisoner aud she smiled back
q response that made them feel better
than they had done for some time
Haywood Morrison left Sunday for his
school in ToWanda, but left instructions
TO be notified If anything unusual hap
pened during the week Haywood Nor
rison is not strong looking and does not
look unlike his sister There is a strong
family resemblance among the 0Torrsons.
Fletcher Morrison is a young man, prob
ably twenty, and he looks very much IKE
his sister.
The little room IN the jail IN which
Jessie Morrison is confined looked more
pleasant than usual Sunday and the
plants growing on the shelf by The win
dow showed a brighter green than be-
fore. Other visitors besides the members
OF the family called during the after
noon and there were many words Of
cheer given to that little prisoner who
is now on trial for her life.
This girl is very remarkable person
age. It does not seem possible that
woman being tried for such a crime
as she is charged with could attend
court see hundreds of people every day
who are curious TO watch the defendant
IN the murder case closely and keep the
equilibrium she does. Never once does
her face change The attorneys talk Of
the death Of Mrs clara Wiley Castle
and os Jessie Morrison being charged
with inhicdng the wounds which caused
the life OF that young lady to depart,
yet that does not cause her to change
one expression as often as it is men
toned
One would not think that this little wo-
man who appears timid as she enters the
court room could have such a resolute
viii or even that she had strength
enough to WELD a weapon which would
cause death. The person who takes a
good look at Jessie Morrison wonders
at first where she could have found tho
courage. II she did indict the wounds,
which caused the death Of Mrs. DIN
Castle.

attorneys for the defense was held. These
men who have been battling every foot
