CHICAGO, July 9.-Interest had in
creased in the irial of Mrs. Rene b.
Morrow when the case was called for
the second days session by Criminal
Court Judge Kersten today. Thirty
women, friends of Mrs. Morrow. were
iE the court room and it was under
stood that they would continue to at
tend the sessions of the trial until
disposition was made of the charge
that Mrs. Morrow murdered her hus-
band. Charles B. Morrow.
Seated besides Mrs. Morrow when
the examination of prospective Jurors
was continued today, was her sister,
Mrs. Frederick Foster of Los Angeles,
Calf. Among other women who at
tended the trial today were Mrs. Will
liam Norris Welch, of Los Angeles;
Mrs. Carl Winthrop, of Denver; Mrs.
Neuda Stone, of Carson City. New,
and a number of Chicago women,
club and fraternity friends of Mrs.
Morrow.
The social prominence of Mrs. Nor
row attracted crowd of curious
spectators to the court room The
accused woman smiled confidently as
she sat beside her attorney and whis-
pered many suggestions that were
used in questioning men in the jury
box.
when the testimony is heard,' de-
clared Mrs. Morrow today, there is
nothing that can be done except an
acquittal. l am innocent of this
absurd charge, but l am glad the trial
is started. My friends have never
doubted my innocence. but am anx-
ious now to prove it to everyone who
has ever heard of the case !.
Mrs. Morrow was bitter in her
statement about Harry Gilmore, the
former lodger at the Morrow home,
who testified at the preliminary hear
ing that he had been intimate with
Mrs. Morrow.
"Gilmore led" she said. "He CON
cocted a falsehood under police pres
sure and in spirit of bragadoccio and
self-aggrandizement for which he
should be ostraclzed by all right
thinking people"
Some of those who have committed
perjury to bring about my arrest" !"
continued the pretty widow, will have
to pay some day for what they have
done. l have been maligned, dis
graced and humiliated by persons who
had no more interest in my husband
than they had in an alley cat"
One question on which most of the
excused yeniremen left the jury box
was asked by the states attorney.
It was Have YOU any prejudice
against Furnishing a woman for any
crime?' Most of those that have
been excused have admitted that
they would hesitate about inflicting
punishment upon woman charged
with an offense against the state.

tive of the American Federation OF
Labor, who asked conference to
learn Governor Wilson's ideas on
labor. On an evening train Governor
Wilson planned to go to Atlantic City
where tomorrow he Is scheduled to
lay corner stone and address the

consult with other democratic leaders
on the problem of the national chair
manship, following his conference OF
last night with Senator Gore, of Okla
homa, and Chairman Norman e.
4 Mack, of Buffalo After the departure
