OPENING OF COURT
At $50 yesterday morning Bailin Long
opened a window in the court room and
said: Hear yei Hear yei The honor
able district court Of Butler county is in
session" Before that time the attorneys
for both state and defense were IN the
court room and had conferred together
The court room was partially filed with
men with now and then a. woman occu-
pying a seat. The jurors present
for the day was of special Importance to
the majority of them. There were grey
haired men in the room with perhaps
more interest in the proceedings than the
average young man for these. a number
of them, were friends Of Ex-Probate
Judge Morrison.
Just before the morning session opened
Mr.. Morrison entered the room, looking
much refreshed. Smiling to his friends
he entered into a conference with the
defendants attorneys. DIN Castle sat
on the west side Of the room near the
jury box. He was dressed in a grey suit
Of clothes; his hair bruhed back from
his forehead. He. too, looked refreshed
and presented a much better appearance
than on the previous day By DIN Cas-
ties side sat r. 3. Wiley, the father Of
Clara Wiley Castle. He had the same
sad expression on his face, and when his
friends conversed with him regarding the
case, the tears came into his eyes. He
sat- an interested spectator in the pro-
ceedings.

to his presence.

part Of the state was motion to en-
dorse the name Of the witness on new in
formation, Mrs Lizzie Ewing.
The attorneys for defense challenged
