Mr.. Grosvener Tells Stories.

! General Grosvenor of Ohio yesterday
told hitherto unpublished story of the
civil war to illustrate state OF affairs
closely resembling those said to prevail
in the Philippines.
II won't mention any name" said Mr..
Grosvenor. but tell the story for what
1t is worth. Some years after the civil
was arrested in Ohio on a charge OF
murder committed in West Virginia.
After great deal of consultation | as
certained that he was charged with the
murder of quite celebrated guerrilla, 8
as we used to call them, who made his
headquarters in the fastncsses of West
Virginia.
This, however. did not satisfy me al
together and / told my client that
was compelled to have a more complete
explanation of the death of the 'guerl-
la before l could adequately defend him.
After considerable persuasion he said
That the prisoner had been captured by a
squad OF which he was sergeant in COM
mand, who had gone from Ohio to West
Virginia for the purpose of bringing back
this party to Ohio for trial, and that
on the journey he had attempted to es-
cape and was shot and killed.
This however, did not altogether con-
tent me. and after some persuasion my
client told me that some Of the men in
his squad had advised the guerilla to
make the attempt to escape. and that
by preconcerted arrangement his at
tempt had been noticed and he had been
killed.
II cite this instance said General
Grosvenor. turning to the party around
him, merely to show that those details
OF Philippine war which have been quot
ed to the detrinent OF the American
soldier were in vogue many ysars ago,
even during the so-called civil war;

THE LOVE-LETTER

Ths letter is 4 heart -throb writ in ink;
little page of life's most secret book
Wherein other may ever look
Save only he who loves; and o, to think
Your hand it that wrought this binding link
Between severed souls: your fingers took
The slender pen whose point gave out this brook
OF flowing words whereat my heart may drink.

That gave added brightness to your eyes,
Or those most wondrous pauses when with pen
Half-lifted from the page, you sought to find
Expression for the secrets that in sighs
Alone had found an utterance till then7

JESSIE MORRISON CASE
Supreme Court Grants Her New
Trial Today.

Jessie Morrison gets a new trial on
the charge of numbering Mrs. Clara
Wiley Castle at Ell Dorado in. June, 1900.
The supreme court so decided today.
The Morrison case has attracted the
attention of the nation. Mrs. Castle,
the wife of Olin Castle, a former suitor
of Jessie Morrison. and a bride of only
a few days, was cut with a razor in the
hands of Jessie Morrison, from the ef
fects of which she died. Jessie Nor
rison was convicted on the charge of
murder at the second trial and was sent
to the penitentiary for five years, but
upon the appeal of her case to the SUI
preme court she was released on bond.
The principal grounds for her appeal
was because the jury was prejudiced
against her and because the dying
statement of Mrs. Castle that Jessie
Morrison had killed her was admitted
as evidence. The supreme court held
the first reason good and on that ground
granted new trial but on the other
ground it held for the state.

QUIET ELECTION.
Welch- -Troutman Contest Gre
ates Little Interest.
Voting is Slow and Result is
Doubtful.
r. WEIGHS CLAIMS.
Thinks He Will Carry First,
Second and Fourth Wards.
TrOutman Refuses to COncede
Anything to Opposition.

Very little interest was shown in the
Republican primaries today and up to
noon an extremely light vote had been
polled. The hardest struggle is between
r. b. Welch and James A. Troutman
and both are apparently confident of
victory in the contest for the Shawnee
delegation.
Mr.. Welch stated this morning that
he expected to carry the First, Second
and Fourth wards in the city without
doubt He conceded the Fifth and Sixth
wards to Troutnan and thought the
contest would be close in the Third but
in his favor In the country Welch
claimed Tecumseh, Monmouth, Soldier
and Topeka townships and conceded
doubtful.
THE Curtis story has been worked
against me in Silver Lake and Ross
vile" said Mr.. Welch, but I sti1l think
Rossville is doubtful 1 shall carry
enough wards in the city and enough
country precincts to secure the dele
cation"
Mr. Troutman was busy this morning
making a round of the voting places
but his law partner, Robert Stone,
would concede nothing to Welch and
thought only Monmouth and Tecumseh
IN doubt. TrOutman will carry the
Fourth precinct of the Fourth ward,
Welch's home precinct said Stone. II
think we will carry every ward in the
city but we may lose a few scattering
are in doubt. Troutman will carry the
Second ward, that is really safer than
the Fourth ward although we have no
thought of losing that"
Troutman accuses Welch of having
placed the names of many of his dele
gates on his list WeIch accuses Trout
man of the same offense. The names
of several persons apear on the delegate
tickets of both Welch and Troutman.
Even the usual number of ward heel
ers" around the polls is less than usual.
There was small effort made by either
side to capture the organization of the
election boards as that point was not
considered vital by either side. Both
Troutman and WeIch have some car
riages and will make an effort to get
their voters out before the close of the
polls at o'clock.
The friends of Harry Bone, who wish
es to be the nominee of the Republicans
for attorney general, are looking after
cess of Troutman, which means a con-
troll of the Shawnee delegation by Null
vane would be to the detriment of Bone
and they favor Welch.
North of the river there is consider
able interest in the commissioner fight
between S. H. Haynes for denomination
and J. N. Stewart who was a candidate
at the primaries against Haynes three
years ago when he received the nomina-
ton.
The struggle between Otis Hungate,
G. w. Crane and H. M. Philips for the
craftsmanship of the Republican county
pot. Hungate and Philips have done
considerable work but the outcome IL
doubtful. Mr.. Crane is a passive cam
didate.

not drawn them at any time during the
slight scuffie which followed He SAID
that Officer Voiles took two open
pocket knives away from Devlin, and
handed them to him. Sergeant jenkins
said further that he had ridden to the
station with the prisoner. and had no.
ticed a small cut on his head while he
was being searched.
DIR. Kent o. Brown DR.. Judd's assist
ant, then testified about his call to the
station at o'clock in the morning, and
said that the officer who called him said
that a young man IN JAN mad taken an
overdose of something, and that when
he arrived he found Devlin unconscious,
and dying. and that he expired in few
minutes after his arrival. i was look
ing for poison, said Dr. Brown, and
made no examination for external in
juries 1 smelled an odor which could
not identify, but I do not think it was
whiskey. 1 took it for granted that he
died from the effect of poision, and as
could do nothing for him, made no
close examination, but told the officers
to notify the coroner, and went away"
Chief Tim Donovan testified that he
was notified by telephone that the boy
was dead, and came at once to the
police station. He then testified as to
the conversation he had with Daniels
after he had been arrested, about
O'Clock. Jenkins and Pavey We're pres
ent when Daniels told him that he had
elected Devlin and Heery from his
place, and that they had returned later
stabbed. He said that his idea was to
separate the men and get them out Of
his place, and that he had struck the
deceased a light tap with the mallet
when he made demonstration with a
knife.
Did you gather from his story that
he struck Devlin to avoid being cut by
him?" asked Attorney Hungate. Yes,
answered the chief, ito protect himself
and at the same time to get then out
OF his place.
DIR. Buckmaster, who conducted the
autopsy, then testified as to the condi-
ton of the deceased, and gave his opin-
ion that the blood clot on the brain,
which he described as being the size of
an orange, would cause death. When
asked by a member of the Jury how
long it would take clot of that size to
form, he answered. From 20 minutes to
"a hours, depending on the injury to
the artery from which the blood escap-
ed" When asked by Coroner Hogeboom
whether or not the clot could have been
the effect of blow of the fist he an
swered, 1T could be possible, but very
improbable"
The jury then went out with instruc-
tions to find how, when, and by what
means Frank Devlin came to his death.
The jury remained out an hour. and
brought in a verdict which held Daniels
for trial His preliminary hearing In
city court has been set for next Friday
