ELDORADO. Kan, July 20.-Miss Jessie
Morrison, whose preliminary trial for the
murder of Mrs Olin Castle has been in
progress for seveal days. this even
ing held without bail to answer the charge
of murder i'm the first degree before the
next term of the District Court. Miss Nor
rison will be confined in the county Jail
at Wichita, as the Jail here is not pro-
vided with apartments for women. Just
before the young prisoner was taken back
TO Jail she embraced her father and both
wept bitterly The scene was most pathetic
and there were few dry eyes in the court
room.
Several times during the day Miss Morri-
son broke down. When County Attorney
Brumback, in his closing argument, re-
lated the story Of the tragedy and de-
clared that i'm the heart of Olin Castle, hus-
band of the slain women, there was an
utter absence of love for Miss Morrison,
the prisoner leaned her head on her broth
er's arm and wept. Again, when Attorney
Cramer speaking for the defense, referred
to the deep sympathy for the two afflicted
families, Miss Morrison covered her face
and cried.
