COURT'S INSTRUCTIONS FAVOR DEFENDANT lader the 4,'onilemnnllnn of Connsrl Olln t'Mlle Flee (rum the Conrt nnoin and Ami)' Irom the Crowd. ELDORADO, JCan., Dec. 8. Smiting and confident, Jessie Morrison, today snt through hours of pleading, tho last stago but one in her trial for tho murder of Mrs. Castlo. With each hour slnco she loft tho stand yesterday, tho prisoner had gained strength and every movement sho made today de pleted tho feelings nho felt Joy over tlio belief that sho would soon bo free. Sho pinned a roao on her dress beforo she left her ceil, anu laiKeu Dngnuy wiui mo Jailor on tho way to tho court room. There ho listened with rapt attention to tho lawyers as they arguod earnestly for ono ldo or tho other, but tho strained look, tho red eyes and palo contenanco so noticeauio dunne the weary hours of tho testimony- I taking were missing Tho knowlcdgo that ho would soon know hor.fnto sceraea to hango her whole- being; Instead of au ex- paotod collapse, tho approach of tho end Stimulated her to greater effort. Nolthor tho thundering demand of Prose- cutlng Attornoy llrumback, for a first do- tree Vordlct, nor his flerco declaration that Jesalo Morrlron, with murder In her heart, had planned aud cxcculod murder, because tho man who sho had loved married another, erved to movo tho prisoner or drlvo tho expression from her face. Judge Shlnn'B Instructions to the Jury ratbor favored tho defendant than other wise. Ho told tho Jury that u verdict could bo rendered on any count from first de gree murder to fourth degreo manslaughter. If tho defendant believed nho was In danger f being killed by Clara Wiley Castlo, liar- Ing first beeu attacked by her, sho had a right to tako steps to savo her own llfo, von -to the taking of life. Continuing, ho raid tho Jurymen must dctcrmlno for them- elves whether the declarations presented by ,tho prosecution aa tho dying words of Mrs. Caatlo wcro really her deathbed Mtate- ment, whether or not they wcro Influnccd by others, and whothor tho wounded woman knew cloarly what sho wns doing. Caniie Fire Ilefore Attack, V. P. Moonoy of Eldorado, opening for the dofeuse, attacked Olln Castlo for stlmu- latlng Jealousy between tho two women, and took occasion to say that Mrs. Castle was better off In her grave than living with such a man as ho had shown himself to bo. Castle left tho court room while Moonoy was pleading for tho prisoner. Judgo Bhlnn placed no limit upon tho argumonta nnd as four lawyers will arguo for each side, It Is likely that the caso will not reach tho Jury beforo tho first of next week. Instructions of Court. Tho Instructions given by Judgo Shlnn mako It posslblo for the prisoner to bo con victed either of first or second degree of murder, or the first, second, third or fourth degreo of manslaughter.

NKW YORK, Uec. 8. Joseph V. Stark, 28 years old, met a tragic death this afternoon In tho Twenty-second regiment arniury. Stark, with a number of others, was partic ipating In an amateur circus being conducted for tho benefit of tho regiment. Stark's act was to rldo a bicycle up an Incline 200 foot long nnd thlrty-llvo feet high at its cud, nnd then dropping tho bicycle Into a not Jump Into a tuuk of water thtrty-flve feet away. The tnnk was filled with a copper In set six feet deep In which tho water was thrco feet deep. Tho tnnk proper stood nluo feet high.

HILL TALKS OF SUBSIDY BILL Itnllroad Hngnule Thinks Mensurr May lie Helpful, but It U I.lnlilp to AIniHr. CHICAGO, Dec. 8. President J. J. Hill of tho Great Northern railroad was tho guest of the Hankers' club nt tho monthly dinner today. He was expected to apeak upon tho subsidy bill, now pending In con gress, but his remarks wore extem poraneous nnd briefer than had been ex pected upon this subject. Tho club, previous to tho address of Mr. Hill, passed a resolution requesting the president to reappoint Lyman J. Uago sec retary of tho treasury. Mr. Hill spoko at considerable length, discussing matters of Interstate and Inter national commcrco, and In tho first part of his remarks he merely alluded to tho sub sidy bill by Baying. that ho had mado some Inquiry concerning the building of boats In this country nnd upon tho Clyde and found that ho could havo them constructed In this country at n much lower figure than In Scotland. This, he declared, did not look much ns though a subsidy wns needed for shipping. If such a mcusuro wero passed It would, In his opinion, assist most those who needed no assistance, and he mentioned tho "ocean greyhounds" as thoso most likely to bo benefited. Ho thon branched out Into a talk on tho mnnner of controlling railroads by legisla tion and declared that tho matter was ono which nono but experts understood and that railroads could no more bo properly handled In this way than a broken limb could be set by statute. In tho close of his speech Mr. Hill again enmo to the subsidy bill and said concern ing It: "It Is an excellent thing, If it Is not nbuscd. I bcllcva that If wo could pay a tonnage on the actual commodities of a cer tain kind based on tho distance carried there would be somo Justice In a rubsldy. I nnalylzed tho first bill that was drawn care fully and found that out ot $9,000,000 about $7,600,000 went to what Is known as tho 'American line,' n good friend of mine, and ntno gontlemon. They arc always very kind to mo when I am crossing. At tho same tlmo why Bhould wo as a nation pay $9,000,000 a year for thirty years and have soven-elghths ot It go to ten or twelve ships? I nm glad to say that when attention was called to this the bill was amended and now It Is In much hotter shape. The $9,000,000 Is to be distributed pro rata among all tho ships that sail under tho American flag and they havo sot apart 30 por cent of tho appropria tion for the Pacific ocean. Kb doubt somo of my friends thought they wero serving me and In n money sense, perhaps, they wero, but I would much rather seo them tako the duty off tho plates that nro to go Into the shirs when they are built. If congress will ap propriate $180,000,000 for a class ot shlpr, that will reduce the coBt of carrying our commerce we will have a right to feel that tbay have done well, but wo do not think that they should give tho built of It to twenty or twenty-ono ships that aro only compelled to run twenty-ono knots onco to tho satisfaction of the government officer de tailed for that purpose."
