STATEMENT OF DEFENDANT.
:Immediately ou reassembling at 2
jclock, the court ordered the exami
ition of witnesses to proceed and
iss Morrison was called to the
and. The accused woman was quite
istrated at first and seemed to bo
iry much excited, but she soon be
ime calmer and proceeded to give
tmr testimony in an emphatic and
l/ear, though rather dramatic manner.
he stated that she had been subjected
I > all kinds of found insults that by she Leiden; that
hen Leiden was mar
ied he had subjected her to syste
smatic insult and abuse and had con
limed it until it became unbearable.
The first witness called was W. J.
’atterson, the stage manager of the
/battauooga opera bouse, who testi
led as follows:
“Liendenheimer said nothing to
iliss Morrison or made any effort to
tssault her when she fired the shot,
Ihe shot him before bo could speak.
The shot was fired the second she saw
lim."
His story was very damaging to Miss
Morrison. On questioning him on
Liedeuheimer’s actions, ho swore that
he acted the gentleman and tried to
avoid any trouble with Miss Morrison,
who seemed to be ill-tempered and in
sulting. the
Leon II. Joseph, electrician at
opera house, was next c alled and his
evidence was the most damaging of all
for the defense. The attorneys en
deavored to make him say he had dis
cussed tho case with tho prosecutor
aud fixed up tho testimony, but he de
nied it bitterly. sides
Here the attorneys on both
got into an argument, and it looked as
if it w'ould be a personal difficulty, un
til tho sheriff made nil sit down and
the judge ordered the first attorney
under arrest w ho again made a dis
turbance.
Attorney Latimore asked Witness
Joseph if Leidenheimer, the murdered
man, was not a Jew. He replied ho
did not know. At this instant, Mrs.
Antz, sister of Leidenheimer, who was
present, jumped up and said:
“You lie if you say lie was a Jew.
You are trying to prejudice the jury.”
Judge Estell announced that ull
demonstrations must stop.
Rogers Ryley, of New York, who
was assistant mnuager of the “Mr.
Plaster of Paris” company, was the
next witness. Ilis testimony caused
a great sensation. When lie com
menced to testify Miss Morrison be
gan to cry and hide her face. Ho
swore he heard her say to Leideuliei
iner the morning before the murder:
“I’ll put a ball through you yet very
soon.” He swore that ho saw her the
night of the murder and that she had
her street dress on and was not made
up for the stage, aud did uot have her
stage dress on or her stage make-up.
The attorneys for Miss Morrison at
tempted to prevent Mr. ltiley from
telling what the duties of Leiden
heirner, as the stage manager, were.
Here a dispute arose between the
attorueys. Judge Estell became en
raged and left the staud. He got be
tween the lawyers, took a paper from
their hands, aud said:
“This farce must stop. I’ll decide
this controversy. Mr. Riley, you tell
all yon know. We are goiug to get at
the bottom of this gase, and are not
going to have anything covered up.”
Mr. Eilev was then turned over to
the defense to be cross examined.
W 7 hile all this was going ou Miss
Morrison was spending her time iu
the courtroom crying and making
demonstrations.
When Miss Morrison was called she
arose and walked with a confident air
toward tho witness stand. Every eye
was eagerly upon the occupant of the
witness box. Tbe seal upon her lips
was about to be broken and a tale of
THE USUAL HAPPENED.

and tragedy, all of which reads like a
work of fiction, was about to be un
raveled. Colonel Joe Clift, for the
defense, took the stand through
the story of her wrongs and her wan
? eriu « 8 ’ began her as fol
lows:
“My name is Julia Morrison James,
My stage name is Julia Morrison. I
am in the theatrical profession. I was
born in Kansas, as well as I know. I
had some foster parents. I can’t state
exactly how long after I was born be
fore my mother died. I do not know
whether my father lived after my real
mother’s death. I was married before
I was fourteen years of age. I didn’t
know until after my marriage that
they were not my real parents. Their
treatment was most severe. They
would put me up in a corner and take
my ears and hold them against the
wall and boat my head.
“My husband and myself went from
LoFayette, La., to Paterson, N. J. I
then clerked a short time in New York.
For a while we boarded on West For
tieth street, then East Fortieth street.
I then went with the ‘Mr. Plaster of
Paris’ company.
“After I was employed by Harris, I
stayed iu New York awhile and re
hearsed—went to rehearsals everyday
and worked hard. Leiden was with
the company at that time. Upon the
first few occasions he was very gen
tlemanly. Ho found no fault what
ever. He told me I was great and ex
cellent. I exhibited to Mr. Leiden
my costomes which I had to wear.
“In Peekskill, New York,” the wit
ness continued, “Leiden came up to my
room. The door was open and I was
lying on the bed with my head toward
the door. I supposed it w as my hus
band who came iu. The next I knew
there was a pair of arms around me,
and he made an indecent proposal.
It became necessary for the witness
to tell what Leiden had called her,
and she said, “Can’t I write these
horrible things?” When told she mtfst
use the language, she proceeded.
“I heard Leiden say to his assistant
not to send out a lithograph of myself,
as he expected to get rid of the-’’

Referring to the incidents before
the tragedy at the Chattunooga opera
house, just previous to the tragedy,
she said:
“I arrived at the opera house a
minute or two beforo 12. I heard Mr.
Leideu say to somebody, ‘What must
I do with her?’ He looked so angry
that I started toward the steps. He
came and shook his fist iu my face.
He said: ‘I didn’t call the rehearsal
because the piece needs rehearsing,
but to see if you would come.’ He
said, ‘I would address you as a lady
if 1 thought you were a lady, you
bitch.’ He said that I wasn’t fit to be
in a dog show. He kicked me in the
abdomen and slapped me with his
hand. He started to slap me again,
nut Mr. Breeding interfered. He
wouldn’t let him hit me again. He
asked me why in the hell I didn’t send
that damned pimp of mine up, and
he’d break his neck.
“I made no threat that I remember
of to put a ball through Leideu. I al
ways carried a pistol iu my bosom.
My husband gave it to mo in LaFay
ette, La. I made no statement that I
would see Leiden before the curtain
went up that night. There is no truth
iu that. |
“That night I went to the opera
house with a maid. Mr. Breeding
showed me my dressing room. I had
on a street costume. The time I was
to appear on the stage iu the play was
fifteen or twenty minutes off from the
time the curtain went up. My part
did not require me to absolutely dress
at all. Tho very dress I have on Mr.
Leiden told me I looked beautiful in
aud I had worn it iu the play.
“After reaching my dressing room
I took off my hat, opened my grip aud
took out my keys to open my truuk.”
That evening, she stated, Leideu had
gone to the toilet room where she
was, while she was sick, aud had of
fered an iudigntty, which she told to
the court, aud which is unlit for the
prints.
“I pushed him away aud pushed
him out of the toilet. He slapped me
violently. A colored girl came after
me. Tho colored girl followed me up
the steps. There was no one in front,
I found the steps very narrow. I was
just in the act of stepping up the steps
when Mr. Leiden leaned over and said
in a low voice, ‘What in the hell do

LARCE CITIES NOT CLAMORINC FOR
THE NATIONAL GATHERINGS

The call has already been issued for
a meeting of the Republican national
committee, at which will be decided
the time and place for holding the
next Republican national convention.
According to present indications the
large cities are not likely to race for
this honor with the zeal that they have
formerly exhibited. Several of the
Chicago newspapers are saying that
that city does not again want either
conventions at any price. St. Louis
is likely to make only u perfunctory
bid, if any at all, for either eonven
♦ion, as that city has all the advertia
ing enterprise is can grapple with in
the Louisiana purchase centennial
exposition, for which it is now
preparing. The big cities have
come to believe that national conven
tions do not pay. The day of pro
longed wrangles and big convention
fights uppears to have passed, and it
was those things that made a conven
tion of financial advantage to a city,
its hotels, saloons, stores and trans
portation companies. Every hotly
contested convention attracts aiders
and abettors of the various factions as
well as interested spectators by tho
thousand. Of late conventions have
been three-day ratification meetings
largely.
A national convention is a pretty
expensive luxury for the city that un
dertnkes it. It is said that the Re
publican convention of 1890 cost the
public-spirited citizens of St. Louis
840,000. They had to pav for the
building of a convention hall, the
printing of the tickets and the badges,
for ele trie lighting and other inci
dentals. It cost Chicago about $25,
000 to entertain the Democrats iu the
same year, and the sum would have
been larger bad it been necessary to
erect a convention ball.
T. E. Byrnes of Minneapolis, who
was sergeant-at-arms at the St. Louis
convention, says that the people of
that city became very .weary of the
the enterprise last time before it was
over. “I mean,” said lie, “that the
bills which were incurred by my office
for legitimate expenses did not make
the backers of the enterprise happy.
There was a shortage of almost $4000
after the citizens’ committee had
drnmmed and drummed until the en
tire city was tired. This shortage
was finally made up by a handful of
rich men, who grumbled a good deal
over it. They did not receive a cent’s
worth of benefit from the convention
and yet had to meet the bills to pre
serve the city’s good name. letters,” Mr.
“I wrote 18,000
Byrnes added, “aud every oue was to
a man who had written to us, aud who
was entitled not only to a reply, but
to a courteous one. What were the
letters about? Tickets aud conven
tion appointments, mainly. Every
letter which I answered was written
manifold, and a copy of the answer
was filed with the original letter. The
aoplications for tickets began ns soon
as I bad received my appointment and
continued down to convention day, a
period of six months. My corre
spondence wus so heavy that at times
I was compelled to have three or four
stenographers. For these the St.
Louis citizens’ committee had to
pay.”
While Mr. Byrnes was oue of the
most successful sergeants-at-arms, he
did not escape criticism. At a secret
session of tho Republican national
committee iu the Southern hotel, St.
Louis, the day before the convention
opened, one of the members arose and
insisted that Mr. Byrnes be discharged
ou the spot. The speaker had asked
for a certain number of tickets nud
his request had been ignored, Mr.
Byrnes not even condescending to
answer his letter. The offended
member was a very prominent man iu
Republican eouucils ; so, assum
ing that a mistake bad happened,
somebody moved to take a recess for
luncheon, with the understanding
that Mr. Byrnes was to be on hand
nfter luncheon and give an explana
tion. According to program, Byrnes
appeared. Again the offended com

had taken his private secretary’s re
ceipt for them, which receipt was
thereupon exhibited to the amused
committee. Apologies were iu order.
The complainant, it seemed, had not
been in his room for two days and so
did not know what had been going on
for two days.
In Chicago, in 1896, t ere was also
a good deal of trouble iu raising the
money for the entertainment of tbe
convention. It finally came out of
meu who, as at, St. Louis, received uo
benefit from it and would rather have
seeu it go somewhere else. These
meu, in both cities, are said to have
served notice that in the future they
would uot lespoud to the eleventh
hour npi , eals o{ tllis sort , aud tbat Io .
cal committees which engage to enter
tain national conventions must them
selves be ready to pay tbe bills. A
good many Republicans, on account
of the interest of tbe Pacific slope iu
the expansion question, are thinking
very favorably of San Francisco ns a
proper place for a (onventiou
which w ill reuomiuate McKinley, and
announces a definite party policy re
garding the Philippines and trade ex
pansion in the Orient. At the time,
ou account of the change of heart iu
Maryland, many leading Democrats
believe that it would be a good plan
to hold the Democratic national con
vention iu Baltimore, which used to
be n greut convention city.
Chicago is the best convention city
in the country, as for as permanent the
facilities go, and Kansas City is
place now making the greatest effort
to secnre a convention. It wou'd not
be strange if the Republicans finally
went to Chicago, without any very
energetic urging, and the Detno rais

eluding horse-racing aud trading

Their religion is a grotesque mix
t ure c f paganism and Christianity,
They are ardent sun-worshipers, call
ing ofteu upon Jesus, who they say
is the glorious orb of day. They be
lieve in spiritual horses, dogs aud
ever-greeu prairies where no trouble
some white man or bad Indian can
molest them.
Bill Dole, a very nnctious old limb
of the expiring tribe, said: “I Lave
eleven squaws aud papooses up there
and lots of spotted ponies eating
grass up there on the evergreen prair
ies. I can see them on every cloud
less day. — ” Bill, however, got mar
ried again last week to a four-times
widow. Most of their wigwams are
adorned with gorgeously colored pic
tures of scriptural scenes.
They still persist, in spite of having
been notified repeatedly not to do so,
in depositing their dead on the sur
face of the earth. The graveyard in
the old, deserted Iowa village on Bear
creek, Lincoln county, is a disgust
ing, sickeniug boneyavd. Gluttonous
turkey buzzards and irreverent hogs
fight over the remains.
Dan Tohee, a lineal descendant of
the 2000-year-old royal Tohee family,

He looks very dignified, never gets
drunk nor trades wives, and is not
much of a liar. His brother Dave,
however, seems to be the black sheep
or the Tohee family. His sixth squaw
died last spring, and after howling
seven nights around her dead house,
he put a $25 marble cross near her
resting place and began preparations
for a union with squaw No. 7.
The lowas delight to drink a slight
ly intoxicating concoction made .of
fermented and boiled corn, sumach
berries, sugar and wild onions. After
gulping down copious drafts of the
b|Ternge they get exceedingly happy
aud talk about the good times coming
when only lowas will inhabit the
whole of Oklahoma,
Getting some of the white man’s
education is one of their greatest hard
ships. The young lowas, “like snails,
crawl to school.” They play sick,
aud sometimes even dead, to keep
from attending. The older consider the
younger ones martyrs during school
hours and often help them to evade the
task. Two years ago they induced
tho Indian department to allow them
to have a school light at home. They
had a costly building erected aud s< v
ei al teachers were hired, but, alas!
only about six juvenile redskins at
tended the school.
The lowas hate working on the
roads even worse than any other kind
of labor. Eight of them started ou a
protracted visit to Nebraska last sum
mer simply to escape from working
three days on the roads which they
travel more than any white nn*m.
They regard all physical aud other
ailments ns the work of “imps with
in” aud take strong emetics aud vomit
the evil spirits through the knot
holes into hollow trees. Perhaps,
through some sort of a faith cure pro

Tlie Area of the Philippines.
In several government documents
the area of the Philippine Islands is
P'lt at something over 114,000 square
miles; in the latest at 114,320. In
the “Guia Oficial de las Islas Filipinas,
P ara 1398; Publicada por la Secretariu
del Gobierno General; Manila, 1898,”
the area of the archipelago is given as
355,000 square kilometres, without in
cluding the Jolo (Sulu) group. As
the number of square kilometres mul
tiplied by .386052 will give the 1111 m
her of square miles, the area of all the
islands, less the Jolo group, amounts
to 137,057 s juare miles. Further, the
statement is generally made that the
archipelago of the Philippines contains
from 1000 to 200 islands, and the
“Guia Ofic ial” says the number is more
than 1200. But in examining the
“Derrotero del Archipelago Filipino,
Madrid, 1879”—that is, the Coast
Pilot of the Philippines,covering more
than 1200 pages — we find that the Islas,
Islitas, Isletus, Islotes, Islotillas and
Farallones thereon described amount
to 583. Of course, this does not in
clude reefs, rocks or hidden dangers.

Proper Quant t.v of Food.
Dr. Pavy, oue of the most eminent
authorities upon diet, says that the
average man in a state of absolute
rest, can live on sixteen ounces of
food a day, a man doing ordinary light
work can live on tweuty-five ounces,
and a man doing laborious work needs
from twenty-six to thirty ounces.
This is food absolutely free from
water, and it must be remembered
that everything we eat contains more
or less water, so that from forty-eight
to sixty ounces of ordinary food are
necessary according to the work in
which a man is engaged.
‘ THE NIMBLE SIXPENCE.
How It Run* Everjrwlmre Through Enf
■ lull Daily Llf*.
Should England ever decide upon a
new coat-of-arms, let it be the lion
and unicorn rampant, holding aloft a
big round penny. The present motto
will auswer: “God and my Right”-—
money, ray God, and all I can get, my
right. This is not especially to be
condemned, perhaps. With 40,000,
000 people crowded.into an area no
larger thnu one of our American states
aud with 20,0d0 persons owning all
the land, (he struggle for existence is
terrible. Nevertheless the schemes to
extract the penny are so various and
unique,and they are sprung upon actually you
so unexpectedly, as to be
funny. In cousequence you always
must go about loaded down with these
big. heavy copper coins, larger than
our old one-cent piece which we rele
gated to the dark ages long ago. Sev
oral times a day you will get eleven of
these in exchange for a shilling, and
you really would have to carry a bas
ket if they did not slip away as fast as
they come. The government could
just as well put its stamp of value
upon a smaller coin, but the British
public would resent giving up its dear
old penny. You pay a penny for a.
seat in any of the parks aud gardens;
a penny for the use of the toilet room
at all the railroad stations and res
taurants; a penny for a drink of water,
Iu fact you will save wear and tear of
patience and purse by all the time
carrying a penny between your thumb
aud forefinger.
Americans cannot get used to the
fact that this important coin is two
cents instead of one. Tuppence to
them seems two cents but it really is
four; thvippence is not three but six;
tenpeuce seems a mere trifle until they
reflect it is twenty cents. The six
pence is ubiquitous, it is omnipresent,
no word falls so readily from English
lips. Where we say a nickel they say
sixpence, which is nearly two-and-a
half times as much. I asked a shop
keeper • ue day why that everlasting
sixpence was tacked on to everything.
“Well,” he said, “it sounds better;
two shillings or seven shillings sounds
so bad. It is much easier to say two
aud-six, seveu-aud-six. ” So for the
sake of euphony we pay the extra 12
cents. At the hotels they tell us the
price is ten-and-six, twelve-and-six,we
never can escape from the everlasting
sixpence. Twenty shillings are a
pound, but ten shillings are not a half
pound, but half a sovereign. Then
there is that exasperating coiti, the
half crown, two-and-six, but so little
larger than the two-shilling-piece that
we must lay them together to see the
difference. A favorite price to put
upon articles is a guinea. When we
ask what is a guinea we are told that
there is uo such coin but it means a
pound and one shilling—a pleasing
variation from the extra sixpence.
Twelve peuce make a shilling, two
shillings a florin, four shillings a
double florin, five shillings a crown,
two crowns a half sovereign; three
columns always to add up and besides
there are the ha’pennies and the farth
ings, two of which make a ha’penny.
I made this purchase yesterday—a
yard aud a quarter of ribbon at one
shilling, tlirippence ha’penny a yard,
^hat was the bill? At the banks one
must take silver or gold for all sums
under five pounds, $25.
The English admit freely that their
financial system is very bad, but they
say, “Our money is at par all over the
world, why make a change?” The sil
ver thrippencQ. is the same size as our
diminutive three-cent pieco whose
coinage was discontinued years ago.
They say it is coined here for the
benefit of those whose conscience will
not let them put cojrpers in to the con
tribution plate on Sunday, but whose
generosity does not extend to a six
pence. In some churches tho exact
amount of the contribution, and the
kind of coin, is pdaced on a bulletin
in the vestibule. In one town, not
long ago, I read at the close of the
morning service, “140 thrippence
pieces.”

“Do you see how that lady is get

The lady in question was backing off

was standing on the rear platform.
“If I were a reformer,” continued
the conductor, “I should lose uo time
in getting up a society for the protec
tion of ladies riding ou street cars. If
I were a legislator I should make it
necessary for every man, woman and
child to pass an examination showing
their knowledge of how to get on or
off a car before giving them a permit
to ride. But it is particularly the
ladies who refuse to be convinced
that they jeopardize their lives by
facing the opposite direction from that
iu which the car is going when they
get off. As every man knows, the
least motion of the car when the pas
senger is alighting in that way is suffi
cient to throw her down. I always
become hoarse iu the winter time from
calling to ladies and beseeching them
to wait till the car stops, I have
given up tea Ling them to get off in a
way that a little motion will net affect
them and confine myself to holding
them back until they can get off in
safety, however awkwardly they do
it. I have finally come to the con
elusion that getting off a street car is
something like throwing a stone
