This Jury was secured by o'clock Court
then adjourned until Friday morning. when
the hearing of testimony will begin.
From an authentic source it was learned
to-day that attorneys for Miss MorrisoF
have about agreed upon plan to abandon
the plea of self-defense.
The plan proposed as substitute is To
have Miss Morrison so upon the stand and
testify in her own behalf. telling In detail
the story of her relations with Castle.
The plan under consideration is to have
her acknowledge freely the full story ot
her love for Castle: to have her test'fy
that she placed confidence IN MN, ana M INA.
she trusted him to a further extent than
she would have done had she known he
was going to marry Clara Wiley:
1t IS believed by her counsel that II Miss
Morrison tells frankly the story OF
wronged woman the jury Will pity her
wrongs and consider that she had provoca-
ton for the act.
1t is suggested that part of the story OF
the defense will be that Jesse Morrison was
called into the Castle home by Mrs Castle
in the morning of June %. and that she was
taunted beyond endurance concerning her
relations with Castle and the triumph Clara
Wiley made in getting Castle away from
Jessie. 1t is claimed that the circumstances
were such that these taunts drove her be-
yond human endurance.
The idea now advanced Is that Jessie
full story is stronger than mere seif-de-
tense plea, and that If Miss Morrison, on
the stand, unbosoms her hearts secrets IT
may appeal more strongly to the Jurors
sympathy.

TELEPHONE FOR R. R.
INSTEAD OF TELEGRAPH WILL BE
USED TO HANDLE TRAINS.
Experiment Tried For Two Months
on,f5aItimore and Ohio Road and
Proved Successful.

Within the past few months
there have been "A number of ex-
periments on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad with the long dis
tance telephone for tho movement
of trains. One Of the officials of
the company is authority for the
statement that the now .mcthod
has proved very successful so far,
and that there is great probnbili-
ty that before very long thA use of
the telegraph will be almost en-
tirely abandoned.
In handling trains by telephone
the orders are taken by the oper-
ator and repeated TO the dispatch
er, and so expert have some of
the men become that much time
is saved. An experimental line
has been in operation on the
Philadelphia division for two
months, and there has not been
a particle Of trouble.
1.-THE adoption of the system," "
said an official, "means q great
deal to the railroad company and
Is most distinctly II step in adj
vance. We will be able to equip
our Offices with trained employees
men who have been in the train
service and who are familiar with
the operation of railroad from
long practical experience. We
have, and so have all roads, train
men who have become injured
while on duty who are not able
to do heavy work or who have
lost one or more limbs Their
minds are as bright as ever and
their knowlege OF railroading un-
impaired. 1t stands to reason
that these men can better meet
the emergencies that confront an
operator than a young and mex
perienced person who holds the
position because Of a knowledge Of
telegraphy.
"Take an old engineer who has
roughcd it for years. He knows
the whistle of every locomotive
on his division, how long it takes
to 60 from one station to another
and a thousand and one details
that eminently fit him for a tower
operator. Ills experience will be
Of benefit to the company, and he
will have employment suited to
his capabilities and will not have
to waste the information gather
ed during years of running on the
road. 1t strikes me that the tele-
phone will come into very general
use for this purpose and give en-
ployment to disabled engineers
conductors, firemen, brakemen,
baggagcmcn, ETC."
