FRIDAY.
There is nothing now between
Jessie Morrison, cuarged with mur-
der, and the jury. Her attorneys
nave i1terpOSed all objections and
OOStructlOnS known tO The LAWYERS,
Ind all these nave been swept aside
by tue court, and the case has now
< ne to the jury. But there's the
ru1. The SENSATIONAL killing Of Cara
WHEY Castle was discussed thurJugr
b OughOuJ Butler county for weeks.
Afyer~ard men formed in groups ou
tie streets aud COnverSed earnestly
bout the murder Case Farmers
riding along the country roads in
their wagons stopped and talked about
The death OF Mrs Castle. So it will
Oe a difficult thing to find twelve men
IN that county VINO have not formed
dn opinion as 10 Jessie MOrIiSOn's
guilt. The examination Of Jurors
occupied the entire morning session
1t was dull and mOnOtOnO"s proceed
ing. Jessie Morrison seemed to lose
interest 10 the slow examination. She
sat facing the ju-y box, but her eyes
wore dreamy lock and she rested
quietly in her chair. She is so small
mat her neelS do not touch the floor
as she sits 10 the heavy wooden chair
within the iOclOsure.
The man over whOm so much blood
was shed, young Olin Castle, is long,
pale and loose jOinted. He ATTENDS
court regularly, and ye. terday he sat
beside R. Wiley, whose daughter was
killed. Castle and Jessie Morrison
sat face TO face, and they often locked
Into each others eyes, but There was
no change 10 the expression OF the
young woman 10 show the depth OF
her passion.
Among the jurors in the panel yes
terday we're many young men. The
lawyers for Jessie Morrison looked
upon this favurably because young
men, they believe, have mUre ready
Svmpathy for women than older men.
But the case had become so well
known that only two Of the jurors
were held
By 1870 o'clock the entire Jury
panel OF twenty-tour had been exam
ned by the county attorney The
county clerk Was then required to
Graw pew veDire. He placed about
200 names On the LIST, and deputy
sheriffS went out at once to summon
these jurors. They began arriving in
curt late inthe afternoon. The jury
will undoubtedly be selected from
residents of the county outside nf the
city # Eldnrado. The murder case
has been discussed so thoroughly there
that practically every Jne has formed
an opinion, and even am,n thu
farmers Of the county there are very
few who don't know all about the
Morrison case. BY the time cour'
closed last night The state had paSSer
seven men in the jury box, and wheth-
er the defeuse will pass them or nOl
is a question that will probably be
decided today.
The lawyers for Jessie MOrristn had
mild sensation for the spectators
the form OF a statement set forth in r
motion for a continuance, that tn,
defense had an important wiJne s
who was somewhere outside OF the
state and who could not be brought
to EldOrado at the present term Of
court. II is claimed by the defense
that on the fatal daY when young
Mrs. Castle received the Wounds tina
killed her that Miss Morrison was
passing the house and was called IT,
ny Mrs. Castle, who thereupOu began
quarrel. In the motion for con-
tinuance Of the case two affidayits
were presented. One of these was
sworn to bv Miss Morrison and the
other by f. NJ. Sadler, a farmer, who
lives one and One-half miles north OF
town. Thev state that a canvassel
named A. G. Morgan says that he
was IN the Castle home Just before
Miss Morrison arrived that day. and
he states that he saw Mrs. Castle tar
On the window pane to attract Miss
MorfisOn's attention as she was pass
ing the house and called her in. In
his affidavit Sadler says that the man
Morgan told him this afterwsrd
After an hours argument Judge
Shinn refused TO grant continuance
Jessie MorriSon's brother, Fletcher
Morrison, young man who works in
steam laundry at Eldorad1, sat bv
n,s ster's side in the court room.
Part Of the time his hand rested ter
derly tn her shoulder.
