NOTED MURDER CASE.
Jessie Morrison Trial Up For
Hearing Again.

Ell Dorado, Kan, June 1O.-For the
third time the case of Jessie Morrison,
charged with the murder of Mrs. Olin
Castle. was called in the district court
of Butler county today.
The crime was committed June q,
1900
Miss Morrison. in her testimony at
the former trial, says she was passing
Mrs. Castles home and was called in
by MIS-. Castle; that they Quarreled
about Olin; that Mrs. Castle attacked
her with a razor and that she took the
razor from her and cut her throat.
Mrs Castle lived eighteen days and
during that time wrote full descriptions
of the terrible affair. In her dying state
ment she said Miss Morrison called at
her home. knocked and was admitted
as were all ladies who called; that Miss
Morrison handed her letter. asked her
if she wrote it, and when her eyes fell
on the letter Miss Morrison attacked
her with the razor and cut her throat;
that Miss Morrison brought the razor
with her; that she (Mrs- CaStle) never
had the razor and did not cut Miss Nor
rison with it; that Miss Morrison slash
ed her own throat.
Mr.. Castle and Miss Morrison worked
in the Racket store together for a long
time and went together some. Clara
Wiley, with whom Mr.. Castle became
infatuated was a sweet girl of 26 and a
prominent worker in the Methodist
church. Miss Wiley and Olin Castle be-
came engaged, which naturally made
Miss Morrison Jealous. They were mar
ried June 13, just one week before the
tragedy, and the night before the fatal
affair there was a big reception at the
home of the groom's parents. to which
Miss Morrison was not invited.
guard was kept over Miss Morrison
at her home until Mrs. Castles death,
when she was placed in Jail, her pre-
Iininary trial held and she was bound
over to the district court to answer the
charge of murder in the first degree,
and was refused bond. The first trial
was held in November, 1900 About 400
men were examined before a jury was
secured and it took three weeks to try
the case. It resulted in nine for acquit-
tai and three for conviction. Miss Nor
rison was then released on bond until
the next term of court. The case was
not tried at the April term but was con
tinued until June, 1901, when it was
tried again. The jury was out several
days and brought in a verdict of man
slaughter in the second degree.
The jury stood II for first degree muir
der and one for manslaughter.
On July Miss Morrison was sentenced
to five years in the penitentiary and was
taken there An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court Miss Morrison was re-
leased on bond after serving about three
months and when the case came up the
Supreme court was granted a new trial

USE OLD PEST HOUSE.

Mayor Parker has proposed a plan by
which a large art of the expense of
building a new pest house can be
avoided.
He favors tearing down the present
pest house and using the lumber to
build a new one. It is believed that
with the lumber from the old pest
house. the cost of erecting a new build
ing can be reduced to a few hundred
dollars. The building VIII be thorough
ly fumigated, whitewashed, and then
torn down by workmen who have had
the smallpox. There is plenty of lum-
Der in the present pest house to build
a very good building.
Mr.. and Mrs. E Gruhn have now left
the pest house, and entirely severed
their connection with the official fam iiy
Of the city Of Topeka John Stuhrk is
in charge of the building temporarily,
pending some action by the council on
the disposition of the building. Stuhrk
is the man who moved to Topeka with
his family from Nebraska, and as soon
as he reached the city was discovered
to be afflicted with smallpox. He served
his term in the pest house with his wife
and family.

MYSTERY NOT CLEARED
Superficial Investigation of
Death of d 6. SappenfieId.

In the coroner's inquest held late Nom
day afternoon the jury gave a verdict
to the effect that David G. Sappenreiu-
who was killed on the Rock Island sat
urday night, met his death by being
struck by train On the Rock Island
railroad and that the accident was due
to the carelessness of the deceased. No
post mortem was held and the Inquest
only lasted a few minutes.
Three witnesses. T. MattingIy. Law
renee Colwen and Segt- jenkins. were
sworn. ColWell testified that Sappen-
field had worked for him on his farm
deaf and that he had never seen hln
with any large amount of money, and
did not think he had much at the time
he started for Topeka Saturday even-
John Mattingly testified that ne rowed
Sappenfeid across the river at S.30 Sat
urday night at a point about three miles
east Of Valencia, and the deceased had
stated that he was going to walk TO
Topeka.
Seet. jenkins testified to the condition
and position of the body when he ar
rived at the scene Of the tragedy with
the patrol wagon.

neither was 1t discovered what train
struck the man. It is known tnat "A
freight train passed the body after day
light, when the engineer could hardly
have avoided seeing the corpse, but n3
report was made.
There is still a mystery about the kiA-
ing which was not removed by the ~
quest It is quite evident that the man
was robbed, either before or after death
1t had been the intention Of the de-
ceased to go on the Sunday excursion
to Kansas City, says his brother-tr- law
John Hanford, and that he would have
undertaken a trip OF this kind without q
cent in his pocket is very improbable.
The injuries on the person Of the de-
ceased could have been caused by q
train, and possibly by an assassin.

naped.

Never before in the history of this
county has a trial created so much in
terest as has this one, and the reasons
for this are many. The manner of the
crime excited the hatred of every man
who admires fair play against the muir
derer.- The character of the murdered
man and the compica tiOns that have
led to the arrest of a prominent ranch
man Of the territory have also entered
deeply into the case.
George C. Montgomery was a special
agent in the employ of the Santa F'e
company, and as that special agent he
had to look after those who troubled the
company's property. He was more of
a special detective and had plenty of
business through Oklahoma. About a
year ago a news agent on one of the
con pany'S trains south bound, through
Oklahoma was robbed
The amount of the plunder taken was
not 50 much, but the company went af-
ter the thief and prosecuted him. The
work of making the arrest and hunting
up the evidence in the case fell to Mont
gomery and short time after he took
it he caused the arrest of Zack Miller,
one of the owners Of the 101 ranch in
Oklahoma, and Bill Potts, one Of the
cowboys employed on that ranch. The
case was tried al Perry and trouble oc-
CURED between Montgomery and some
of the AIillers.
On the fifth day of last October Mont
gomery was sitting in his home prepar-
ing his weekly reports to the head Of
fice of the company when he was shot
with a shotgun and instantly killed.
The assassin stood near the east gate
of the family residence and aimed
through the window at Montgomery.
The murder was committed about
o'clock in the evening and at a tine
when there were few people on the
streets. The man who did the killing
had a clear field and made his escape
without trouble. A search was instituted
but no trace of the murderer could be
found that night and il was several
months before the arrest of Coffelt was
made. The detectives hired by the San
ia Fe company ran down every ciew
and at last found that COffelt had been
working on the Miller ranch and that
he had been in Winfield on the day the
murder was committed. The officers al
ways declared there was a conspiracy
and that the Millers had hired someone
to do the work.
Coffelt was under bond for his an
pearance at the PaWnee county district
court, and just before the officers had
slip He was next heard from in Del
Rio Texas. where he had job as
rousta bout in the machine shops Of the
Southern Pacific road He was brought
back to the territory on the charge of
jumping his bond and held in the Paw
nee jail for his trial He was then ar
rested on the more serious charge of
murder and brought to CoWley county.
In the former trial witnesses testified
that Coffelt was on a freight train on
the night of the murder going from
Winfield to Ponca City, and ne was
identified by a, revolver introduced In
court. which he carried at that time.
The case against him was purely cir
cunstantial and was a very strong one

COFFELT'S TRIAL.
Prejudice and Harvest Time

murder of George C. Montgomery, has

sons kidnapping in bringing Coffelt from
Texas to Oklahoma, and from there to
