She ACCOSTEO HIM
Startling New Evidence in
Miss Morrison Trial.
THREAT TO YOUNG CASTLE
DEPENDENT Breaks Into Tears
for First Time.

The interest in the Mss Jessie Morris,
trial al Fl Dofado yesterday was een-4red
On ths testimony Of Mr.. DIN Castle. Tie
evidence as given b. him was starting
and disclosed the relations between him
and the defendant prisoner, which proved
damaging TO the defense. The testimony
was. given in the prosecuting witnesses
Characteristic. natter-of-fact way and
was listened to 50 attentively that tire
dropping Of pin could have been heard
in the audience. The testimony showed
concIusively that he had gone with Miss
Jessie, but al no time could these rela-
tons be considered intimate; that he had
been on friendly terms with her but that
two weeks previous 70 his marriage 10
Mss Wiley he had even broken of all
friendly relations with her. Cross exam
nation developed that brief c3rresPon-
dence had been carried On between the
two principal actors in the drama. Mr
Castle also disclosed that Miss Morrison
had IN an indirect manner, threatened
him. Witness identified the razor with
which the crime was committed as hav-
Ing come fram the Racket store where he
and Mss Morrison worked. The bereaved
husband was kept On the stand a long
time and was put under a stringent cross
examina zion, but the attorneys failed TO
succeed il shaking his testimony il the
main as he closely held 10 the main story

night and viii De resumed this morning.
The nature Of Mr.. Castles testimony was
something Of a surprise to the defense a.
the attorneys hardly expected that the
state would exhaust that evidence before
the regular trial The state Will rest some
time today when the defense viii take VI
its side. However this is expected to be
brief, although about fifteen witnesses
have been subpoenaed.
For the first time since the proceedings
began Miss Morrison yesterday morning
broke down and wept. She had hereto
fore appeared cool and unCOncerned, and
this vas the first sign OF the least par
ticle Of concern. This was only Of short
duration, however, and she soon CONTROL
ed her feelings and VIZ the same self
composed prisoner as before. This out
burst Of emotional feeling was caused by
her attorney, M. Redeem, who made .
pathetic argument in support Of an OBJ
lection TO certain questions that were be

While the excitement over what is IN

that has ever occupied the attention Of

If-tle woman who is charged with tn
commission Of the crime will spend he
