ciates, he returned to the court room and
announced to Judge johnson that "the
state rests. We have no more testi-
mony to offer"
Judge Johnson at once wheeled in
his chair and asked John r. Tally, who
is leading the defense's side of the
case, which of his witnesses he wanted
called first. Mr.. Tally had not antici-
pated such quick turn in the trial, and
was forced to ask for a recess until
this afternoon, in order to get his wit
nesses together.

PROBE OF MORRISON ESTATE
LEADS TO UNDERWORLD

Several dozen mysteries that have
cropped out in the story Of the fieec-
ing of old man Morrison will be clear
ed up next week. And before the
case is over someone is going to get
in bad.
More plain details of the methods
used to get the old mans money were
told yesterday in Judge Lands court.
And a few new names were brought
out.
Among those accused during the
days testimony is a former detec-
tive sergeant who went to New York
and made a hit, but whom States
Atty Hoyne would try to put behind
the bars if he could nail him, Barney
Bertsche also played a minor part in
the drama of intrigue woven by those
after the Morrison millions.
Several Chicago detectives may be
named as having tried to wheedle
Morrison out of his cash while on
the trail of bonds or jewels which
they told him he had lost. He didn't
know whether he had lost the ar
tiCles or not

/ Mysterious threats to throw him
in the river or expose his past sell
dom failed to gain big money for the
ICON" men, it as charged.
Girls of the IeVee used to prey on
the old man, and he was always good
for few hundred dollars. His visits
to the redlight district were hailed
with delight.
Atty Jas. Ward, who is supposed
to have 100000 worth of the Nor
rison property, refused to tell Judge
Lands whether or not he would re-
turn it. Morrison expressed con-
fidence in him, however.
The Evening Post was sued for
$4,000 yesterday because, it is b..
charged, a photographer snapped the
pictures Of the wrong girls when he
was sent out to get the Burnstein
pair.
Atty c. C. Spencer and A. A.
House, for Lucy and FiIomena 10th
er, say that the girls pictures were
printed in the Post as those of Nor
rison's Legitimate daughters.
The Journal, Herald and Examiner
later ran the same picture, the at
tOrneys say. Other suits may be
filed.
