disarranged the program of the de-

Help Miss Dunlap's Case.
Two witnesses contributed testi-
mony yesterday of character calcu-
lated to strengthen Miss Dunlap's
case with the jury. The first was Miss
Lizzie Morrison, second cousin of the
defendant Miss Morrison went to
the depot on Aug. with sister, who
was going away on the o'clock
train. On that evening the witness
stated she saw Miss Dunlap and Miss
Miller at the depot in the waiting
room.
WAS there any time while you
were in the depot" asked Attorney
Searle, when the defendant and Miss
Miller were separated"
They were not apart from each
other at any time" replied Miss Nor
rison in positive tones. Il was in
position to see them all the time, and
know they stood or sat close by
each other all the time.
1t is theory of the prosecution
that Miss Dunlap put strychnine in a
chocolate cream while she was at her
home. and hid it in some manner I'M
til the opportunity arrived when she
could place it in the sack of candy
-,
ternoon. The defense contends that
this would have been impossible with
out Miss Miller detecting the act.
Samuel Morrison. another second
cousin of Miss Dunlap's. added
strength to the contention of the de-
Tense that the defendant was slightly
poisoned from eating of the candy
which caused Miss Doors death. The
state maintains that Miss Dunlap's
illness on the night of Aug. was
feigned.
COntradIcts DIR. Browning.
Mr.. Morrison drove DIR. Browning to
the Dunlap residence on the night of
Miss Dool's death. and after the ply
stefan had administered medicine to
the defendant. took him back to Fe-
liN's store in his buggy.
Did you ask DR.. Browning about
the condition of Miss Tona when You
drove away from the house," asked
Attorney Searle.
Yes. ! asked him. How is iona - -
was the reply.
What was the rest of the CONVEX
sation?''
Il asked him if she had taken any
poison, and he replied. She has evil
IDENTITY got some. but there is none in
her now"

and was the first evidence of posi-
tive character on the subject.
The defense called Edward Dice. the
court stenographer who took the teS-
timony of the witness at the prelm-
mary examination and the hearing of
the motion for bail. and sought
through him to lay a foundation for
the impeachment. of the testimony of
