MISS MORRISON
KILLED HER RIVAL.
Witness Says Mrs. Castle Pleaded For Her Life
While Being SIashed With Razor.

Eldorado, Kan. June 19.-After only
two days Of testimony taking, the state
in the case of Jessie Morrison. on trial
for the murder of Mrs. Ohm Castle,
rested this afternoon. T-a defense, it
is said. will spring a sup e in the
introduction Of new evidence not ad-
duced at che first trial.
When. Miss Morrison took the stand
in December last,tO tell in her own de-
Tense OF the fatal quarrel with her ri
val. she testified that Mrs. Castle had
called her to the house and started the
trouble. At that time an affidavit of
A. j. Morgan, a peddler, who swOre
that he heard Mrs. Castle rap on the
door as Miss Morrison was passing her
house and call her in, was presented.
Morgan could not be found, but it is
now said the defense has located him
and will put him on the stand Other
new witnesses may be introduced by
the defense to sustain the plea Of self
defense.
The state today began it's presenta-
recuy on the killing Of Mrs. Olin Cas-
tie by Jessie Morrison. The dying
declaration Of Mrs. Castle, which
stated that Jessie Morrison had called
at the Castle house, opened q quarrel
over a letter from Mr.. Castle and then
attacked her with a razor, was read
by Attorney Leydig. During the read
ing Miss AIOrrisOns breast hsaved ard

Miss Morrison had her hands out over

there. Mrs. Castle raised part way up

Mrs. SpangIer went on to tell how

WILL OF HUNTIN GTON NAY
BE CONTESTED.
Rumor That Princess Hatzfeldt is Dissatisfied
With Her Share Of Estate.

San Francisco, June 1s.-Ever since
mention was made several months ago
that a secret search had been made of
the records Of Sacramento county to
determine If there was a record of the
adOptisn Of Princess Hatzfeldt by the
late Coils p. Huntington, there have
been persistent Tumors that the prin-
cess has in contemplation a contest of
the railroad builders viii. These ru-
nors have beer. revived by the arrival
Of Prince Hatzfeldt and the Princess
Hatfield on this coast, and the fact
that the princess has gone to Sacra-
mento ostensil1ly to visit her motner.
The princess, however, disclaims any
intention Of beginning a contest.
With the Prince and Princess HAITI
feldt in their western journey is their
attorney, Joseph d. Reddingo Of New

legal proceedings of some sort are in

regard, while the prince contents him
self with the declaration that he has
nothing to give out at present

would present unusual difficulty, for in
order to, have the win declared invalid,
it Woulds. be necessary to show that
Huntington EFas Of UnsOund mind at

was under undue influence or that the

about two Years before HuntingtQn's

princess cannot, therefore, rely on q
claim of being a pretermitred child,

tary evidence Of. her adoption in regu-
lar form.
Tt is estimated that the Huntington
estate has increased 40 per cent since
his death. 1t is in the question Of
residuary legateesaip that there rests a
Bitterness which may force the bring
ing Of a contest, for Henry Il. Hunt
ingtOn is named as residuary benedci-
airy, and it is possible that he may re-

comparison with that figure, the ST.

There is a clause In the VIII that says
that any one making a contest shall be
cut off from all share in the estate, but
the win Of James G. Fair had a simiIsr
provision, and the courts knocked It
out
Mrs Clara Prentice, mother Of the
princess, asserts, it is stated, that she
signed a document relinquishing her
daughter and that Huntington legally
adopted the child. No record of this
adoption has been found, however.
