TEMPORARY INSANITY
The Plea of the Defense in the Morri-

Chattanooga, Tenn, January 6.-The
resumed this morning, Miss Morrison
being on the stand for cross examina-
ton. The witness reiterated her state
ments as to the epithets applied to her
by Leiden, leading up to the tragedy.
The letter written by her to Manager
Harris, which recently appeared in the
dispatches of the Associated Press in
which she said to Harris: IF you do
Leiden to keep his mouth shut 1 will
leave the company" was submitted to
ner and she admitted having written
it, but" said she, Il wrote it at the
dictation of my husband"
The attorneys for the state got the
witness somewhat confused by asking
her why she had not married her pres
ent husband the second time immedi-
ately after learning her real name in
stead of waiting for seven years.
She stated that for one reason she
had not the money at the time and
there were other reasons said She
The defense introduced dispositions
from several parties in various parts
of the country where Miss Morrison
had resided, testifying to her good
character.
FOLLOWING lneSe was a series OF QepO-
SitiOnS from stage managers and opera
house employees on the route the Mr.
Plaster of Paris company had taken
before reaching Chattanooga, in which
the deponents, with one accord, stated
that Leiden abused and insulted Miss
Morrison in their presence on many oc-
caSionS.
Miss Morrison in closing her testimo-
ny stated that when a child she had
han L ioly fIn bo., Ixrs, ri
that since that time she had been sub
ject to headaches and great trouble
with her head.
Before the court had adjourned the
defence announced that it's plea would
be temporary insanity.

GILMORE RELEASED.

washington, January 6.-Offlclal
confirmation has come from both Gen
eral Otis and Admiral Watson of the
first reports from Manila of the release
of the American prisoners who have
heen held in the hands of the Filipinos
for nany months, and there is no Ion
ger, any doubt that Lieutenant Gilmore,
If the Yorktown, is among the number.

lows:

them will be telegraphed tomorrow

Admiral Watson's advice is as fol-
lows:
Manila, January 5.
"Colonels Hare and Howe have re-
seaptured all of the American prisoners,
including Gilmore, now at Vfgan.
WATSON"
The sweeping statements made in the
aafspatches to the effect that all of the
American prisoners have been releas-
ed have aroused a hope that in the list
will appear the names ef some OF the
officers and privateS Of the army who
are set down upon the army rolls, as
missing. Prominent among the miss
ing officers is Major Charles M. Rookie
feller, of the Ninth infantry. This Of
ficef advanced beyond the lines dur

no trace. of his body was ever found.
