SOLDIER ON TRIAL FOR LIFE
Infantryman Who Murdered n Com.
' ' rade During a Quarrel
' ' Faces Jury.
Edward Morris, private of Company D,
Twentj-fltth United States infantry, waa
arraigned before United Btatea Judge
Smith McPherson of Iowa yesterday In
the United States circuit court on the
charge of murder. He pleaded not guilty.
The story of the murder is In brief aa
follows: Morris and several fellow soldiers
of the company were playing craps about
a hundred yards In rear of the quarters
when a qoarret arose between Morris and
Henry McKee, a .comrade of the same
company. Morris suddenly drew a revolver
and fired at McKee, the bullet striking him
In the left side, penetrating the heart. Mc
Kee died on the way to the hospital, a few
yards distant, where he waa being carried
by his companlona. Morris, seeing what he
had done, fled, throwing away the pistol In
his flight, but was finally apprehended by
a aentinel on post No. 4 and was turned
over to , the . corporal of the guard. The
pistol waa subsequently recovered. The af
fair occurred at Fort Niobrara In Septem
ber last. Morris has been confined In the
Douglas county jail since awaiting trial,
which began Monday morning. The greater
part of the morning was devoted to chal
lenging the Jury.
The attorneys defending the accused are
A. W. JefTrtes and T. J. Mahoney of
Omaha and the prosecution Is being looked
after by United States District Attorney
W. S. Summers and Assistant Attorney 8.
R. Rush. A large number of witnesses
have been summoned from Fort Niobrara
In the case. Including four officers and some
twenty or more enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry.
The evidence In the case waa concluded
laat evening, the testimony being In sub
stance about that contained In the allega
tions. Morris testified in his own behalf
to the effect that he was merely playing
with McKee, and that both wero on
friendly terms. Morris had cautioned Mo
Kee against playing craps, as he had no
money and never would have any. He
drew his pistol from his bosom and pointed
