The most striking incident of the 7.
M. C. A. convention occurred in the
circulation of protest signed by Bish-
op Mallalieu and others, protesting
against the use of the museum of fine
arts for a reception to the delegates
and their friends, rendered by the trus-
tees of the museum and the Womens
auxiliary of the Massachusetts and
Rhode Island association. The protest
is based on the fact that statuary In

in the museum and the claim that
reception there would commit the Y. NJ.

Ell Dorado, Kas., June 12.-AIiss Jessie

for the second time, charged with the
murder of Mrs. DIN Castle by cutting
her throat with razor on June %, last.
The first trial, held in December, re-
suited in hung jury, standing nine for
acquittal and three for conviction. The
crowd was small at the opening of
court, but there was a fair attendance
in the afternoon. Miss Morrison was
neatly attired, but her face showed evI-
dence of distress. She was accompanied
by her brother, Hayward whom she
nursed through the siege of sm a1lpox in
April, also by her father. Miss MOrri-
son paid very strict attention to the
proceedings, and when the motion for
continuance was read she leaned her
head upon her hand and cried. The at

The defense asked permission to in
spect papers in possession of states

the papers. These writings were not
exhibited at the last trial, and will

attorneys for the defense filed a motion

the grounds that the people of this city
are familiar with the facts in the case
and that jury will have to be secured
from the country that the country peo-
