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

Instructions would bo from six months In
jail to two years In the penitentiary.

Thousands of men and women suffer from

tho exact nature of tho trouble, or, knowing
It. carelessly allow It to run without using
tho slmplo means of a radical cure,
The failure of salves and ointments to

tho only pcrmanont cure to be a surgical
operatlon, but surgtcal operatlous are dau-
n

Tho safest nnd miriii - ..

The Pyramid Pile Curo is not only tho

K. II, tJrtitnbnck, county attorney, made
tho first argument. He demanded a fi-st-dogrea
verdict and said In tho rourso ot his
remarks.
If you find Hie defendunt culltv It w.'l

way It will render safety uncertain ami

Clara Wiley Castlo was llteiucy hnuked to
pieces whllo surrounded by the suposed
security of her own home. This Is r.ot
denied. It wns one of I lie most atrocious
crimes in the annals or Kunsas. Who did
It? Jessie Morrison. Bhu admitted It on
thn stimd herself.
As to tlio motive do you think that
flam t?HHtl(!. In the enrlv sunrise of n
long and huppy married career, wns plan-
ning to commit muruer inai morning; .o,
Tho lawyer described In detail tho crlmu
ftn(1 Ba(1 Umt ,uo ovldunco showed that
Jcsslo Morrison had deliberately planned
tho murder of Clara Castlo, Sho went
there, ho said, with murder In her heart
nml BBvinir revenee. She was nrovoki d bo
cause Olln Castle, whom sho loved, had
married Clara Wlloy and bIio was deter
mined to wreck a happy home.
The emphatic plea of Prosecutor Brum-
bnck nol affect tho prisoner and sho nml
tue different members of the Morrison fam-
il. vhn itrrminrtpil her nnnnnrrit In hn In
i,cttor spirits than at any ttmo during tho
trial.
y. I'. Mooney of Kldorado opened for tho
defense. "Mr. Brumbuck has told you
ho said, "that Clara Castlo was on tho
throBhold of a happy married life. I want
to say to you that tho llttlo grave upon thu
hill Is a happier place for her than llfo
would havo been with Olln Castlo If ho had
shown himself to bo tho kind of a man that
ho was before hla marriage."
Mr. Mooney said ha believed that Mrs.
Castle, If sho were starting out In a happy
career of marriage, would reasonably call
In tho woman whom she hated nud who had
mndo her Jealous and would remove her
from hor path.
Mr. Mooney was Interrupted by tho noon
recess. Olln Castle wan not present during
hla argument.
In closing Mr. Mooney dnr.larcd that Miss
Morrison was not Jealous; that sho did not
euro for Olln Castlo and there was no
reason for her taking the life of Mrs.
Castle. Mr. Leydlng, who followed for tho
tato, recited Jrsslo Morrison's account of
the strugglo lending from tho stonograph-
crs notes. "That lesson
wa8 learned
well," ho continued
Ho apoko nt longth upon tho testimony
of Miss Morrison, nnd his argument was
offoctlve.
Mr. Schumaker, for tho defense was tho

think of the motherless defendant, whosu
mother lies burled In tho hills of West
Virginia. "This little woman should havo
sympathy," ho said. Ho said Ilev. Whar
ton wont to tho Castlo home, not as a
minister, but as a dotectlve. He vigorously
attacked tho testimony of Olln Castlo.
Tho arguments will bo closed on Monday

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."
