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. Olin Castle res :.
ed this afternoon. The defense will, it
Is said, spring surprise in the intro
duction OF new evidence not adduced at

calling upon her unbidden, beginning a
quarrel. and then slashing her with a
razor. and the introduction of witnesses
who described the scene at the Castle
home on the morning of the fight.

afternoon in her own defense. She told
of her movements on the day of the
murder. She was going from her own
home to that of friends, and in passing
the home of Mrs. Castle, the latter
raped on the window and called:
jess, come here, | want to speak to
you" She related the conversation
that followed with Mrs. Castle in which
the latter accused her OF running after
her husband
Finally Mrs. Castle called her liar
and struck at her throat twice with
a razor. Miss Morrison said she
screamed and drew away. Then Mrs.
Castle struck her on the breast and
arm with the razor. and they struggled
and fell to the floor. Then, Miss Nor
rison said she got possession of the
razor.
What happened then" asked her at

Base Ball. This Week.

Not so much base ball as usual for
this season has been scheduled for the
college field this week. The High school
team has two games scheduled in Lew
iston, one Fridey. with the Lewiston
High, and the second, Saturday, with
Edward Little. One more game with
Westbrook in this city, June Is, will
close the Interscholastic League season
for this term.
Colby has but two more games
scheduled and these are both with
Bowdoin, one in Brunswick, Wednes-
day. and the second in this city, June
Il. But there will be two games on the
college field. one Wednesday,. and the
other. Saturday. The first will be be-
tween Waterville and the Geralds and
the second between Waterville and
Colby. Both these games will be hot
ones. The Gerald Waterville game will
doubtless draw the largest crowd of
the season. Every one in the city is
suffering from an attack Of the fever
more or less severe. Staid business
men who in the past have not even
glanced at the base ball column in the
papers have scarcely missed a game
thus far this year. When a game is on
at the campus every one who can
steal a moment spends it there. The
Oldest crank cannot remember when he
could talk base ball more frequently or
at longer stretches than he can now
Even the new City building is forgot
ten for the time being and politics are
well nigh forgotten. The school season
is row drawing to a close but that of
the local teams will be in full blast
until the ground freezes.
