FIGHT ON BECKHAM.
Well Developed Opposition to Nomi
mating kcntucky's Governor.

W ell developed Opposition to- NOmf-
mating kcntucl&y's Governor.
LEXINGTON, KY, July 1S.-Only
one thing appears to be down on the
cards for a certainty in the Demo-
cratic State convention which will
meet here tomorrow to nominate a
candidate for Governor. That is an
extremely well defined and well devel-
oped opposition to Governor Beckham's
ambitions for the Gubernatorial nom
nation. This opposition is based on
the allegation that Beckham is commit
ted to the Goebel election law No
plans have been formulated for tenn
porary organization.
Governor Beckham and delegation
of State officials arrived from Frankfort
to-day. The friends of McCreary,
Black, Tarvin, Lewis, Smith, Garnet
and Pryor were also in evidence.
1t was determined tonight by the
opposition TO contest every step of the
way in the convention. When the
Beckham forces present the name of
Judge Robbins for temporary chairman,
the opposition will move to substitute
that of Judge Peak.
While the opposition is not as strong
on the question of organizing the con-
vention as on the issue for the modfi-
cation Of the Goebel election law, yet
the field will make its first stand on
the first business in order. If beaten
the opposition insist they will measure
strength with the Beckham men on
every other order of business until the
platform is adopted. The platform
will be disposed of before nominating.
If beaten on all these motions and in
the committees. it is not likely that the
opposition will present the names of
any of those in the field against Beck
ham. But they are certainly making
hard fight on Beckham tonight
Senator Blackburn is here working
for Judge Lewis for Governor. There
are many mountaineers here for Judge
Black, while Ex-Governor McCreary Is
a receptive candidate of considerable
following. The State committeeman,
State officers, attaches of State insti-
buttons and other organizers are for
Becl1ham, and they keep their men we'll
in line so that it will require radical
change in the situation 30 defeat Beck

ELDORADO, Kans.. July 1S.-In the
preliminary examination to-day of Jes-
sic Morrison, charged with the murder
of Mrs. Olin Castle, interest centered
in the testimony of DIN Castle, whose
young wife was slain a week after her
wedding.
Mrs. Moberly and Mrs. Spangler,
neighbors of the Castles, told of hear
ing Mrs. Castles screams, entering the
Castle house, and finding Jessie Morri-
son standing over the PROSTATE wom-
an, whose throat had been cut. Mrs.
Moberly testified that she pulled Jessie
Morrison from the PROSTATE Mrs. Castle
and took the blood-stained razor from
the floor. Mrs. Spangler quoted Jessie
Morrison as having said to them. Il
have cut Castle to pieces with a razor"
Both women previously testified that
Mrs. Castle wrote for them On a piece

Castle was then called. He identi-
fed the razor as one from the stock

Morrison had been employed. The wit
ness was questioned at length as to his
relations with the prisoner. She quit
work at the store In January last, he
said, but continued to visit the store.
About two weeks before his marriage,
he testified, Miss Morrison came in and
said to him, Meet me 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 Morrison stepped up to
him, took him by the arm and said, Il
want to see you He pulled away from
her and walked home rapidly.
On cross-eXamination, Castle testified
that friendly relations between himself
and Miss Morrison had been broken OF
during March last. He insisted they
never were very intimate.
He had been engaged to the young
woman whom he married-the daugh-
ter of Judge Wiley, about year and a
half before their marriage.

concerned heretofore, broke down and
