ADMITS THE DYING Statement.
Judge Aikman's Ruling in Jesse
Morrison Trial.

Kansas City. NO.. June 1s.-A special
from Eldorado. kas.. says:
1T Is considered that the States case
against Jessie Morrison has been made
stronger at this trial by the Introduction
as evidence Of several slips OF paper upon
which Mrs. Castle wrote as she lay on her
dying bed. Her windpipe had been severed
with the razor In Miss Morrison's hand, and
she could communicate with those about
her by writing only. This writing of the
diving woman was introduced for two pur-
poses-to show that she did not expect to
live. and TO corroborate her dying state
ment of her fight with Jessie Morrison.
Miss Morrison had dressed carefully be-
fore she entered court this morning. She
watched the proceedings calmly. An I'M
portant witness this morning was Emma
Wharton. daughter Of the Methodist min
lister who attended Mrs. Castle She tes-
dying statement she was asked whether or
not il was true.
She nodded in the Affirmative said the
witness. and lifted her right hand as one
taking an OATH
The dying statement of Mrs. Castle was
presented by the prosecution at the after
noon session. Attorneys for Miss Morrison
Objected to the introduction Of the state
ment, but Judge Aikman admitted the
statement almost entirely. saying that he
believed that II was the statement OF Clara
Wiley Castle, and made at q time when she
believed herself in the presence Of death.
The parts eliminated are not important:
"Self-defense Is the plea OF Jessie Nor
rison. When her side OF the case comes
show that in lighting for her own life she
killed Clara Wiley Castle"

Paymaster John r. Martin on the charge OF
'scandalous conduct tending to the de-
struction Of good morals"
Paymaster Martin Is attached to the re-

disbursement of funds to himself and to
Surgeon E. H. Marsteller amounting in all
to ti18.5S. Paymaster Martin discussed this

visable to order his trial. 1t Is believed
the other Hymasters have observed the
