Seventh Day Adventist on Morrison

jury at EldOradO, Kan.
BHDORADO, Kas., June 21-In the sec
ond trial of Jessie Morrison on the charge
of killing Mrs. Olin Castle, the defense
rested today. Adjournment was then
taken until Monday. owing to what is
believed to be the most peculiar reason
in court annals.
j. j. Sproul, one of the Jurors, stated to
Judge Aikman, when the evidence was
all in, that he desired to be excused
from sitting in the case tomorrow. Ask
ed why, he replied that he is a member
of the sect known as the Seventh Day
Adventists, and observes the last day Of
the week as Sabbath. The judge con-
ceded the request. and adjourned court
until Monday, when closing arguments
will begin.
Judge Aikman today admitted as evil
dence the blood-stadned clothing said to
have been worn by the defendant when
she engaged with Mrs. Castle in the fatal
razor affray.
Two witnesses were introduced by the
state in rebuttal of statements made by
the defendant Rev. Stull and w. j.
Scott told of statements made 10 them
by Miss Morrison differing quite material
ly from that which she made on the
witness stand.
Hayward Morrison, the prisoners broth
er, then testified in rebutta1, denying the
statements made by Scott and Srull.

JURY IN PATERSON'S SHOOTING
CASE UNANIMOUS ON THE
FIRST BALLOT
KELLER MAKES a DENIAL
Says Mrs. Barker's Statement That
He Outraged Her Is Untrue
Counsel for BARKER
VIII Appeal.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The jury before
which Thomas G. Barker, of Arlington,
N. j., was tried for shooting with intent
to kill the Rev. John Keller, of the same
town, took one ballot this afternoon and
returned with a verdict of guilty. Under
the charge of the court they could do
little else. The jurors We're told they
must set aside all else and decide only
If Barker with intent fired at Keller
That was the law and they must obey
1t. Notice of appeal was given by Bar
kers counsel
Barker tonight found himself once more
an inmate of the county Jail. He must
remain there until $4,000 bail is furnished.
Before him stands a possible seven years
Imprisonment and fine Of as much as
$1,000.
Mrs. Barker was not in the court room
to hear the verdict. She was in another
part of the court house, and when told
Of the verdict sobbed bitterly. Mr.. kel-
Ter was also absent, and showed no emo
uon when told of the verdict. Barker
had expected an acquittal. He based his
hopes upon the strong plea of his coun-
sci when he dWelt upon the unwritten
law that man has a right to kill where
the sanctity of his home is assailed.
Whatever the effect of this line of plead
ing upon the jury, it was swept away
by the cold charge Of the court that 1.-The
story Of the alleged outrage or the out
rage itself, if true, was no Justification
of the defendants assault" The court ex
pla1ned he had admitted evidence that
Barker had been told of an alleged as
sault, not because it had anything to
do with the case, but because it was
for the jury to determine if the story
had anything to do with making the de-
fendant criminally irresponsible. If they
believed the defendant was sane at the
time of the shooting they must convict.
ARRAIGNlS MRS. BARKER'S STORY.
In his closing Prosecutor Erwin asked
the jurors if the womans course was
the natural one. He said her story was
improbable, because Mrs. Barker would
in the natural course have told her hus-
band of the assault at once, and failing
that, would have made a confidant of
woman and not of another man.
The jurys only ballot was unanimous
for guilty and a unit for the highest de-
gree charged.
Mr.. Keller, as soon as the trial was
completed, issued a brief statement in
which he absolutely denied the truth of
the allegations that have been made and
published by Mrs. Barker.
Barker will probably be sentenced On
Thursday next, and then his counsel will
file the papers in an appeal to the su-
preme court. Barker, in an interview to-
night, said:
L did not expect such a verdict It
seemed to me there was g. reasonable
doubt. I believed that no twelve men
would convict me after hearing my wife's
story. l believe that the supreme court
will give me a new trial and that then
my wife's story will be told

MURDER OF HOSHI TORU

LSTER AT WASHINGTON

YOKOHAMA, June N.-Hoshi Toru,
who was minister Of communication in
the last Ito cabinet, was stabbed today
at a meeting OF the city assembly and
died shortly afterwards. Hoshi Toru was
japanese minister at Washington, and
was formerly president of the house.
The assassination is supposed to have
been due TO politics.
Washington officials of the japanese le-
cation wree shocked when informed
through the Associated Press advices of
the assassination. His service here as
minister lasted from 1886 to 1898. He is
well known both in diplomatic and official
circles. Before coming here he was prom
inent in the politics of his country, and
en- returning to Japan he became a mem
Der of the cabinet, serving as minister
of communication. His official life in
Washington and at home were marked
by vigor and decislveness, and these
characteristics brought him much ennnitv
in certain political circles in Japan. This
resulted in charges affecting his integrity
as member of the cabinet and rather
than compromise his associates by the
controversy he rendered his resignation
and began libel suits against his de-
tractors.
Feeling ran high over the affair, and
1t is probably due to this that the fatal
ity occurred.
