MURDER.
MURDER AND BY WHOM?
coroner's Jury Does Not Name Per-
son Who Shot the South Bend
Man.

Another chapter has been added to
the shooting and killing OF Carlton
W. Morgan, the wealthy South Bend,
Ind, man by the admission of Miss
Lottie Graham of Cassopolis that she
had been courted by Morgan for a
year and that she has many love let
ters written by him. Miss Graham
says that after she learned Morgan
was a married man she sought to end
their friendship, but that Morgan per-
sisted in his wooing. and that the let
ters comprise a part of his campaign
to that end.
The prosecuting attorney contends
that the Graham letters have direct
bearing on the case and will demand
their production at the trial of Mrs.
Metsker, who was bound over to the
circuit court on a charge OF first de-
gree murder and will be tried at the
May term.
Miss Graham said Morgan asked
her to meet him the night he was
slain, but that she refused.
Mrs. Morgan says her husband was
a model one, and refuses to believe
Ill of him. She declares he was every
thing to her he ought to have been,
and that her faith in him will be I'M
dimmed through life. She does not
believe he wrote the letters to Miss
Graham.
The jury In the inquest into the
death of Morgan returned a verdict Of
death from a bullet in the heart but
did not name the person who did the
shooting During the inquest the
Merry Widow" letter, written by Mrs.
Maud Berhrner, which was found by
Mrs. George Metsker, wife of Nor
gan's companion, and which brought
her to Cassopolis, was read.
Mrs. Morgan was in court, heavily
yelled. She tainted when an officer
told how Mrs. Metsker had covered
the dead mans face with a handker-
chief
Fred Jewell, night operator at the
depot, testified that he heard Mrs.
Metsker say: "If | get into that house
there will be a cleaning up"
Prosecutor Bresnahan was disap-
pointed because the jury did not
blame Mrs. Metsker In its verdict.
Those who have watched the case be-
lieve she will escape, unless more evil
dence against her is obtained.
