Murder Verdict
Asked by State
In Morris Trial
Witnesses Testify of Actions
Of Man Whose Wife's Body
Was Dragged by Saddle
Rope on Horse.

North Platte, Neb., Sept. IA. =
| Especial Telegram 1.-The trial OF
William Morris, charged with the
death OF his wife April 10, 1921, has
been in progress at Tryon for week
and has attracted the attention OF
practically all residents OF sparsely
settled Mcpherson county.
Following the introduction OF its
evidence, the state rested at noon
today and began argument for a
direct verdict OF murder.
Mrs. Morris was ound dead in a
pasture with her foot caught in the
saddle rope OF a horse she had ap-
parently been riding. The story told
by Morris was that his wife had
gone to the pasture for the cows,
the horse she was riding became
frightened, she was unseated and in
falling her foot caught in the saddle
rope and she was dragged 20 death.
Body Disinterred.
Alter interment neighbors became
suspicious that Mrs. Morris had been
foully dealt with by her husband,
this suspicion being accentuated by
remarks Morris had made which in
dicated that he designed to get rid
of his wife. A conference was held
with George N. Gibbs of North
Platte, county attorney for McPher-
son county, which resulted in the
body being disintcrred.
In the evidence introduced by the
state in the trial now in progress
several witnesses testified that Morris
had expressed a desire to get rid of
his wife. One of the witnesses testi-
fed he had solicited loan to secure
a divorce. Mrs. Smith, wife of the
owner of the land on which he re-
sides, said he proposed that Re and
Smith exchange wives. Another tes-
tihed he intiinated that Mrs. Morris
would not be there when q certain
sum she had promised to pay became
due.
Doctor on Stand.
DR.. Wurtelle of North Platte, who
examined the body after it had been
disinterred, testified that there was
mark on the neck which indicated
strangulation and mark on the
cheek as though made by a blunt
instrument and that the neck and
,heek marks we're apparently made
before the woman had been dragged
oy the horse. The bruises or the
body of the woman were not such as
would indicate that it had been
ragged such distance and at such
speed as Morris told in his story fol-
owing the accident, the doctor said.
Other witnesses were introduced to
show the actions and apparent in
difference of Morris following his
aiie's death.
