RELEASE HER THIS WEEK
Of Witnesses for Perjury
Causes a Sensation.

Since the close Of the Morrison case at
FL Dorado there have been many inquiries
as to what the defendant in the case
> would do when released from the Butler
county jail on bond
Yesterday A. NJ. Weinschenk Of this
city wrote letter to Jessie Morrison
asking her if she would consider a prop
osition to take the position Of saleswo-
man in the candy department Of his
grocery store during the holidays. A re-
porter for the Eagle secured a copy Of
1he letter sent to Jessie Morrison. and
it is as follows:
Wichita, Kan, Dec. Is,
Miss Jessie Morrison, FL Dorado, Kan
Dear Auss-Would you consider a
proposition to come and act as saleslady
- in cur candy department during the hoh-
days? If you can make arrangements to
come we viii pay you a big salary.
Please answer promptly Yours very
truly, A. NJ WEINSCHENK'
MIR. Weinschenk has gone on the theory
that Jessie Morrison is soon to be re-
leased from Jail on bond. In this case
the FIRST desire that she would have
would be TO get out of FL Dorado, where
public sentiment is against her She is
poor. The next question that would con-
front her would be that of occupation
She has never had the training, or per
haps the desire % 90 on the stage, and
this offer of Mr. Weinschenk's would
appeal strongly to her
Mir Weinschenk, when asked by a re-
porter for the Eagle about it, was very
reluctant to talk lie said: II have moth
ing to say at the present time, but if
Jessie Morrison consents to take this po-
sition in my store, then / viii have
something to say TO you"
MUST STAND TRIAL AGAIN.
Miss Morrison viii have to stand trial
again in March. That is what the county
attorney Of Butler county said yester-
day. And he added that the state win
have some important new testimony.
one OF the sensations Of the day at Ell
Dorado yesterday was the rumor that
certain witnesses would be arrested for
perjury. However, no papers to that eff
feet have been drawn
The defense did not make any move in
the case yesterday, as was expected, ex-
cept to hold a conference at which it
was decided that the first of this week
they win ask that the prisoner be re-
leased on bond. This request viii be
granted.
SHE WON'T TALK.
Miss Morrison yesterday had recovered
from The terrible shock of Friday. She
looks in better health and in brighter
spirits than she has for some time. She
spent yesterday quietly with her reIa-
tNes in her cell ana absolutely refused
to see any one or make any statements
The attorneys for the defense have even
instructed her father not to talk
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THE RESULT.
El Dorado yesterday was crowded with
country shoppers, and everywhere the
case. the decision of the jurors individu-
ally and the prospects of a new trial
were being discussed The general opin-
jon among the people seemed to be that
the defendant is guilty. while the decis-
ion Of the jury met with dfsapproval on
every hand.
CnuI next March at least the case Is
closed During the prs gress of the trial
the Eagle has received several communf-
cations in regard TO it. and since its CON
c-uson, more. 1t seems to be one of
those cases i'm which every one has a
theory of his own.
Below are given two communfcq tions 4
from men who think they have found
keys To some of the mysteries Of the !
case. The first is as follows:
