JESSIE MORRISON GIVES WAY TO
HER EMOTIONS IN
COURT
HUSBAND OF VICTIM TEsTIFIEs
Tells of the Relations That Existed
Between Prisoner and HimseIf-
Other Testimony Damaging
to Miss Morrison.

ELDORADO, Kan, July 1S.-Another
big crowd, composed largely Of women,
filled the court room today when the pre-
liminary examination of Miss Jessie Nor
rison, charged with the murder of Mrs.
~Olin Castle, was resumed
Interest in today's proceedings centered
in the testimony of DIN Castle, husband
of the young woman who was slain a
week after her marriage to him. Castle
was called after Mrs. MoberIy and Mrs
Spangler, neighbors of the Castles, had
told of hearing Mrs. Castles screams, and
upon entering the Castle house, how they
had found Jessie Morrison standing over
the PROSTATE woman, whose throat had
been cut. Mrs. Moberly had testified that
l.. she pulled Jessie Morrison from the pros
trate Mrs. Castle, and took the blood
stained razor from the floor Mrs. Spang-
Ter had quoted Jessie Morrison as having
said to them
a razor"
Both women had previously testified
that Mrs. Castle wrote for them on
piece of paper these words:
Jessie Morrison has killed me-"
HUSBAND TESTIFIES
Mr.. Castle Identified the razor with
which his wife was killed as one from the
stock kept at the Racket store, where
he and Miss Morrison had been employed
He was questioned at length a to his re-
lations with Miss Morrison. He testified
that she had quit work at the store in
January last, but that she continued to
visit the store. About two weeks before
testified, Miss Morrison came in and said
to him:
Meet me at Mr. Ehler's at II o'clock
tonight, or you will wish you had"
He did not meet her. Ten days later,
after his marriage, as he was walking
home at IL o'clock at night, Miss Morri-
son stepped up to him, took him by the
arm and said:
II want to see you"
He testified that he jerked away from
her and walked home rapidly.
QUARRXLED IN MARCH.
When closely pressed, on cross-exam1-
nation, Mr.. Castle testified that friendly
rison had been broken off during March
last, but he insisted that they never were
very intimate, though a few letters had
passed between them.
Mr. Castle stated that he had been en-
gagged to the young woman whom he
married, the daughter of Judge Wiley,
for about a year and a half before their
marriage.
Miss Morrison, who has appeared cool
and unconcerned heretofore, broke down
and wept during today's proceedings.

GOLD DEMOCRATS
Meet and Decide to Call Indcpen-
dents In Conference.


NEW YORK, July 1s.-In response to
call issued a few days ago a number OF
gold Democrats and anti-imperialists mot
in this city tonight to discuss the meth
DDS OF bringing a third party ticket be
fore the public.
An address was adopted assailing Pres
ident Mckinley for his Philippine policy
and his scandalous appointments %
federal offices, CharaCJe r<LIng Gov RoosC-
welt as the frank embodiment Of mill
tarism," and declaEing that the Repub-
lican party stands for all forms OF spe-
cial privileges.
Mr.. Bryan, the address says, is as OBJ
jectionable as President Mckinley.
"A vote for the Democratic ticket,
says the address, means vote for free
silver; it means a still further debauch-
ing Of the civil service, packing of tho
supreme court with men to be governed
by the Will of the executive
The address asks independents to unite
in the support of candidates upon some
such satisfactory policy, as follows:
First-The return to the political doc
trines of the Declaration Of Independence
and the constitution.
Second-The recognition that not only
Cuba and the Philippines, but Porto
Rica and Hawaii, are independent
Third-Genuine monetary reform.
Fourth-Civil service reform.
Fifth-The abolition OF special priv
ileges, whether OF tariff or any other
origin
We are not concerned solely with this
selection, but with the future OF Amer
lean political life. We are ready and
anxious to poin with others in forming
a party which shall adopt platform
presenting these issues.
Speeches were made on the address by
DR.. Everett, of Massachusetts; George g..
Ripley, Of Michigan, and others.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
the chair to appoint committee to issue
an invitation to supporters Of the third
ticket movement to meet in indianapolis
on July %, to take such steps as may DO
necessary to place such a ticket in tie
