Judge Altman will Give Prisoner
Full Limit.
4 MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL.

Eldorado, Kas., July 1.-Jessie Nor
rison will get the full limit of impris-
onment in the penitentiary for the
crime for which she was convicted.
Judge Altman will sentence her to
Eve years. Under the law, he could
give her three years sentence, but he
won't. To her brother Hayward Jes-
sic said that her conviction was due to
the fact that she did not have fair
trial She claimed that all the ma
chinery of the court was against her.
She expressed a hope that her attor-
neys would appeal the case and get
new trial. In that event she will be
tried in another county.
The attorneys for Miss Morrison are
getting ready to made strong show
ing in their motion for a new trial this
week. They are gathering afidavits
from people throughout the county to
show that various members of the jury
had expressed opinions that Jessie was
guilty long before they were summon
ed as jurors. For some reason which
is not apparent the attorneys for the
defense believe they are going TO nave
a hard time getting bill of exceptions
approved by the court in case their
motion for a new trial is overru1ed and
the defendant is sentenced.
Miss Morrison was unfortunate in
having couple Of lawyers on her side
who were not in good standing with
Judge Altman. Judge A. L. Redden,
of Topeka, and T. A. Kramer, of this
| city, are law partners. For many
years they have been at swords points
with Judge Altman. Kramer ran
against Judge Altman for the Repub-
lican nomination for judge last fall,
| but was defeated. Aikman's friends
charge that Kramer got out and did
