THE DYING STATEMENT
Of MRS. OL|N CASTLE.
SHE DECLARED JESSIE MORRISON

PROVOKED A QUARREL,
THEN sLAsEED HER THROAT.
DESCRIPTION OF PATHETIC CIR
CUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH
/ STATEMENT WAS MADE.

ELDQRADO. Kas., December AIRS.
Olin Castles dying statement was pre-
sented to-day for admission as evidence
in the trial of Miss Jessie Morrison,
charged with killing Mrs. Castle last
June. Mrs Castles statement charges
the prisoner with coming to her home,
provoking a quarrel and then slashing
her throat with a razor.
Dr. G. F. Ambrose was called to the
stand after the jury had been taken
from the court room. He described the
manner in which the statement was
made. Grouped around Mrs. Castles
bed were, he said, Austin Brumback,
Dr. Koogler and Mrs. Wharton, wife OF
the dying woman's pastor. Mr.. Brum-
back told Mrs. Castle to make a state
ment and then as the witness asked
question, she wrote the answers on
tablet. AS she wrote the answers, Dr..
Ambrose read them aloud, and as each
answer was read, Mrs. Castle, unable
to utter a word, would nod her head in
assent. The work lasted nearly two
hours and during that time it was fire.
quently necessary to wipe the blood
from Mrs. Castles throat to prevent
strangulation.
DR.. Ambrose said that two days later
he again showed Mrs. Castle the state
ment. She nodded that she recognized
the paper, signed it and wrote: Be
fore my God, it is true"
The defense objected to the admls-
sion of this last sentence, saying that
the prosecution when ordered by the
judge some time since to turn over all
of Mrs. Castles writings to the defense,
had not surrendered the slip Of paper
containing these words. The objection

are now pretty well shaped, and the
Democrats will certainly be in a
stronger position than was anticipated
when the present Congress. met in
December last. They have the ad
vantage of an aggressive campaign
before them, with the Republicans
compelled to accept the defensive be-
cause OF the failure of Congress to
legislate on the trust issue, the Mica

be more or less factors in the national

The Republicans have the advant-

established sound financial system
that is now upalterable. and in having
party whcse achievements write
some of the most brilliant chapters in
the annals of the nation; but with all

that the great national battle of 1900

Should Bryan be the Democratic can"
didate the populists Of Oregon will GER
tainly stay with him and vote for him.
This cannot be said Of anv other man
who could receive the Democlstic nom
ination. Bryan occupies a unique posi-
tion. He can get the Democratic vote
and the Populist vote Of the West and
South, and no other man can. The
difficulty Of the situation for the Repub-
licans lies in the apparent probability
that many Of the multitude Of Demo
crats who voted for Mckinley in 1895
may vote for Bryan this year. The
causes are numerous and somewhat
complex. They lie partly in the events
Of the time and partly in the general
estimate Of the character Of Mckinley
and Of his administration. But there Is
no man who can unite the Democrats
and populists Of this state and Of the
West as Bryan can, and IL may prove as
hard task 10 keep him from carrying
Oregon as q was four years ago.-ore-
