/ BE DENOUNCES JESSIE.
Further along Captain Waters de-
! nouncad Jessie in these terms: ''Give me
/ q degenerate. a half-unsexed woman. and
l I win show you a rrderess who would
/ take the life Of any fair girl who should
/ come in range of her fury. A woman Of
/ this kind can give a man poison and
smile as he drinks it."
Captain Waters went on to say that
the letter she took to Mrs. Davis to
make a pattern with she brought away
with her intact-it was not used for a
I pattern. He also dwelt at length on the
/ cut on Jessie Morrison's throat. He said
/ and Illustrated It on County Attorney
/ Brumback that it would have been i'm
possible for Clara Castle 70 have CIT
/ Jessie Morrison around the throat from
left to right; that II she had cut her in
/ that manner 1t would, Of necessity, have
/ been a deep cash.
He closed with the scene between clara
Wiley Castle and her mother, the dying
scene as his text.
During Captain Waters address the
Jury paid the strictest attention, better
attention than they paid during Judge

During the argument of Judge Redden,
Jessie Morrison, in her dress Of dark
color, with its white band around the
neck. with a neat fitting jacket Of brown,
sat near her father with her sisters on
one side Of her A little falr-haired girl,
the child of her sister, sat in the lap Of
Jessie Morrison with her head pil-owei
on one arm OF the prisoner Miss Nor
ris0n often looked al the face Of the
child and at times passed one hand over
the brow and face of the baby in a ca
resslng manner. Jessie listened atten-
lively as Judge Redeem argued for her
freedom.
On the other side OF the room sat the
family Of Olin Castle and Clara Wiley.
They. too, listened intently to the words
of Judge Redden- Olin Castle, however.
was not present nor was he seen In the
court room that morning.
After a time the child who sat in the
lap Of Jessie Morrison asked TO get down
and played around in that enclosure with
grandfather and aunts, uncles and other
relatives, in the very air of murder or
guilt. as talked of by Judge Redden.
In the childish innocence Of its few
years the child played in that enclosure
too young to know that the twelve men
before whom it played were to decide
the future Of a life.
JUDGE REDEEM OPENS.
Judge Redden opened the last argument
for the defense at $50 O'Clock. At first
/ he commenced his argument in low
! tone Of voice before the jurors As lie
I advanced in his speech his tones became
/ louder and ringing and his gesticuIauon=

Morrison and then began on his speech,

Of the grave. The question is whether
