Regarding her future she said yesterday

make believe that I would I will not
accept any of the offers made me by
people I have never seen, it makes no
difference how dattering those offers
are"
Farther than this. Miss Morrison re-
fused to talk and it is quite evident that
she does not yet know where she will
spend the time between her release from
jail and the next term Of court
Upon the converting of the Butler coun-
ty court at FL Dorado Yesterday morn
ing, Judge Shinn ordered that Jessie Nor
rison be brought into the court room. A
deputy sheriff Immediately went to the
cell Of the prisoner and Jessie Morrison
was ready to accompany him. She had
father had been IN the cell for some time
before the calling OF the court.
These two people had talked over the
situation and both confdenualIy expected
that Judge Shinn would grant her appeal
to be released from the Jail on the proper
bail. They were not disappointed, for
such was the case.
Jessie Morrison was dressed IN that
same black costume as she entered the
court room. She was preceded BY her
father and these two sat together during
the time that they were in the court
room. The defendant in this case was
light hearted and smiled to her attorneys
as she talked with them. After a short
time Judge Shinn looked at the defend
ant and her attorneys and said:
'The defendant will be admitted to bail
in the sum of five thousand dollars and
win be remanded to the Butler county
jail until the bond is approved. If it is
presented while court Is IN session, it viii
be considered by the court II presented
after court adjourns it will be approved
by the sheriff when he is satisfied as to
the sureties."
Jessie Morrison sat in that court room
with an expectant look on her face. She
had fully believed that Judge Sh.nn
would grant her request for bail. Her
father also thought that way and while
the judge made his announcement the
benevolent old man placed a hand to his
right ear to catch every word which had
something to do with the release Of his
daughter.
After Judge Shinn concluded his an
nouncement, Jessie Morrison looked &C
him with a smile Of satisfaction and
arose from her seat and went straight to
her cell Her father followed her and
each had a brighter appearance than had
been seen since the Incarceration Of the
prisoner.
After returning to her cell she refused
to see any one but the members Of the
family During the morning. the sisters
of Miss Morrison called to see her and
her brother was in the cell for a few
minutes
The question now comes up as to who
viii sign Jessie Norrison's bond. A num-
Der Of guesses have been made and the
people so designated have denied that
they have consented to so on her bond
There is yet a very strong feeling in FL
Dorado and this may have something to
DO with the Morrison's securing a bond
as readily as they thought for.
Judge Morrison acting under the advice {
OF hts attorneys, viii say nothing ABOUT
who will sign the bond He intimates. /
however that the bond WIN be furnished
all right within the next few DAYS. Judge /
Morrison is very confident about the mat
ter and undoubtedly has had some assur- T
ance which causes him to believe that he .
VIII be successful in getting bail for his .
daughter.
When asked where his daughter would /
spend the time il released from jail Judge
Morrison replied: cit has not yet been F..
decided where my daughter viii spend .
the time between now and the next term .
