Witnesses Declare That the Mur¬

The second day’s trial at Chatta¬
nooga of Miss Julia Morrison for the
Murder of Frank Leideubeimer was
repele with dramatic situations.
The Btato introduced witness after

of the woman who trembled at their
words.
The trend of the testimony showed
that she laid in wait for Actor Frank
Leideubeimer aud when the opportu¬
nity came she pulled the pistol she
carried concealed in the folds of her
dress aud fired into his faco. After
ho had failed she stooped over him
and deliberately fired a ball into his

Immediately on reassembling at 2
o’clock, the court ordered the exami-
nation of witnesses to proceed and
Miss Morrison was called to the
stand. The accused woman was quite
flustrated at first and* seemed to be
very much excited, but she soon \>e-
came calmer and proceeded to give
her testimony iu an emphatic and
clear, though rather dramatic manner,
She stated that she had been subjected
to all kinds of insults by Leiden; that
when Leiden found that she was mar-
ried he had subjected her to syste-
tematic insult and abuse and had con-
tinned it until it became unbearable,
The first witness called was W. J.

Chattanooga opera house, who testi-

His story was very damaging to Miss
Morrison Oil questioning him on
Liedenheimer’s actions, he swore that
he acted the gentleman and tried to
avoid any trouble with Miss Morrison,
who seemed to he ill-tempered aud in-

Leon H. Joseph, electrician at the
opera house, was next called and his
evidence was the most damaging of all
for tho defense. The attorneys en-
deavored to make him say he had dis-
cussed the ease with tho prosecutor
and fixed up the testimony, but he de-
nied it bitterly. both sides
Here the attorneys on
got into an argument, and it looked as
if it would be a personal difficulty, uu-
til the sheriff made all sit down aud
tho judge ordered the first attorney
tinder arrest who again made a dis-
turbauce.
Attorney Latimore asked Witness
Joseph if Leideubeimer, the murdered
mau, was not a Jew. He replied lie
did not know. At this instant, Mrs.
Antz, sister of Leidenbeimer, who was
prosent, jumped up and said:
“You lie if you say ho was a Jew.
You are trying to prejudice tho jury.”
Judge Estell announced that all
demonstrations must stop.
Rogers Ryley of New York, who
was assistant manager of the “Mr.
Plaster of Paris” company, was the
next witness. His testimony caused
a great sensation. When he com-
meuoed to testify Miss Morrison he-
gan to cry and hide her face. He
swore he heard her say to Leidenhei-
mer 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
ber street dress on and was not made
up for the stage, and did not have her
stage dress on or her stage make-up.
The attorneys for Miss Morrison at-
tempted to prevent Mr. Riley from
telling what the duties of Leiden-
heimer, as the stage manager, were.
Here a dispute arose between tho
attorneys. Judge Estell became en-
raged and left the stand. He got be-
tween the lawyers, took a paper from
their hands, and said:
“This farce must stop. I’ll decide
this controversy. Mr. Riley, you tell
all you kuow. We are going to get at
the bottom of this case, and are not
going to have anything covered up."
Mr. Rilev was then turned over to
the defense to be cross examined.
While all this was going on Miss
Morrison was spending her time in
the conrtroom crying- and making
demonstrations.
When Miss Morrison was called she
arose and walked with a confident air
toward the witness stand. Everv eve

romance, cruelty, persecution, insult
aud tragedy, all of which reads like a
work of fiction, was about to be un¬
raveled. Colonel Joe Clift, for tho
defense, took tlio stand through
tho story of her wrongs and her wan¬
derings. She began her story as fol¬
lows:
• > My narno 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 horn he-
fore my mo her died. T do not know
whether my father lived after my real
mother’s death, f w as married before
I was fourteen voars of a"©. 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 beat my head.
“My husband and myself went from

then clerked a short time in New York.
For a w-hile we boarded on 'Vest For-

I then went with the ‘Mr. Plaster of

“After I was employed by Harris, I
stayed iii New York awhile and re-
hearsed—went to rehearsals every day
and worked hard. Leiden was with
the company at that time. Upon the
first few occasions he was very gen-
tlernanly. Jle found no fault what-

ness continued, "Leiden came up to my
room. Tho door was open aud I was
lying on the bed with my head toward
the door. I supposed it was my bus-
hand who came iii. The next I knew
there was a pair of arms around mo,
and he made an indecent proposal.
It became necessary for tho witness
to toil what-Leiden had called her,

horrible things?” When told she must
use the language, she proceeded.

Referring to the incidents
tho tragedy at the Chattanooga opera
house, just previous to the tragedy,
she said:
“I arrived at tho opera house a
minute or two before 12. I heard Mr.
Leiden say to somebody, ‘What must
T do with her?’ He looked so angry
that I started toward tho steps. He
came aud shook his fist in my face.
He said: ‘I didn’t call the rehearsal
because the piece needs rehearsing,
but to see if you would come.’ He
said, ‘l would address you as a lady

bitch.’ He said that I wasn’t fit to be

My husband gave it to mo in LaFay-

would see Leiden before the curtain

in that.
“That uight I went to the opera

to appear on the stage in the play was
iifteen or twenty minutes off from the

The latest move in what will prob-
ably prove to be one of the most hit-
terly fought railway buttles of recent
years was made at Macon, Da., Mou-
day when Judge Emory Speer, of the
United States circuit court of the
southern district of Georgia, granted
n temporary injunction restraining the
officers of the Georgia and Alabama
railway from consolidating it with the
Florida Central aud Peninsular rail-
loader any other corporations 011 11
bill filed by Michael J. Dady, a mi-
nority stockholder,
It is alleged iu the bill that J. Skel-
ton Williams ia at the bead of what is
called a “voting trust” that controls
practically all the stock of the Georgia
and Alabama railway and is proposing
to consolidate thut road with the Flor-
idn Central and Peninsular, of which
he is also president, and that the pro-
posed consolidation with the latter
road is in his interest as well as iu tho
interest of other persons associated
with him in tho “voting trust” and
contrary to tho interest of tho road
and its stockholders,
J. Skelton Williams, John W. Mid-
dendorf ami C. Sidney Shepard are
also parties defendant and the iujune-
tion operates against them. Tho bill
was presented to Judge Speer by
Marion Erwin and Joseph M. Terrell,
an counsel for the complainant, Dady.
Dady's bill, in addition to the allega-
tions that tho proposed consolidation
is projudical to the rights of the stock-
holders and the road and for the per-
sona! interests of the “voting trust”
headed by Skelton Williams, claims
that the Georgia and Alabama railway
and the the Florida Central are paral-
lei and competing railroads, and un-
der the constitution of the stale of
Georgia their consolidation is pro-
hibited.
Colonel Joseph M. lerrell, of coun*
sel for the complainant, as attorney
general of the state of Georgia, is now
officially engaged in prosecuting two
suits in tho name, of the state of Geor-
gia and by the direction of Governor
Candler to prevent other railroad oon-
solidations claimed to be contrary to
the same clause of the constitution of

“BALLOT RESTRICTION”
I he Subject of a Strong Speech In
the Senate liy Horgan,
of Alabama.
'The feature of Holiday's sessioa m f
the seusle was the speech of Henator
Morgan, of Alabama, ripon tho general
subject of ballot restriction iu the
south. The senator from Alabama
took as the text for his speech the res¬
olution introduced several days ago
by Senator Pritchard, of North Caro¬
lina, or rather tho substitute which
'hat sonntor has since submitted in
place of his former resolution. The
substitute reads as follows:
Resolved, That an enactment by
constitution or otherwise by any
state which confers the right to
vote upon any of its citizens be¬
cause of their descent from certain
persons or classes of persons and
excludes other citizens because
they arc not descended from suoh
persons or classes of persons, hav¬
ing all other qualifications pre¬
scribed bj> law, iu the opinion of
the senate is iu violation of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend¬
ments to the eonstitution of the
United States, and of a fundamen¬
tal principle of our lepublionu
form of government.
In opening Senator Morgan said
that this resolution reveals the fact
that we have reached a danger point
iu the history of tho republie which we
can not avoid or neglect. The next
apportionment of representation iu the
house must be made by this, or tho
fifty-seventh congress,said the senator,
and the principles on which the ap¬
portionment will he made will bo a
question of the gravest importance iu
this year’s election.
He believed tho question ought to
be considered in advance of these
elections. The people should decide
the great question involved in those
resolutions at the elections of this
year upon propositions submitted to
them in some form.
“I am convinced,” suid tho senator,
“that no other tribunal except the
people voting iu tho elections has tho
right or the power to finally settle this
question here presented in tho resolu¬
tion offered by tho senator from North
Carolina.”

Republicans May Carry Matter to

REVOLUTION SEEMS IMMINENT
All Depends On the Decision of tho
Legislative Committee as to
Who Is Untitled to Office.
A spoeial from Lexington, Ky., says:
On the advice of ex-Governor Brad¬
ley, leading counsel for the Republi¬
cans iu tho contest being made for the
state offices, they will hold out against
the Democrats, even though the legis¬
lature and the slate election commis¬
sion decide that the Republicans are
not untitled to the offices, fie thinks
this action would result iu throwing
the contests into the federal courts for
11 mi 1 settlement.
Probably one thousand stanch Re¬
publicans will bo summoned to Frank¬
fort, ostensibly ns witnesses in the
contests, but each man will go heavily
armed and he will he ready to fight to
the death for the defeat of Goebel.
Already companies of such Republi¬
cans have been formed iu several of
tho leading cities and they have been
drilled in the duties they will have to
perform if the Goebel men try to take
the offices. Each one of the Goebel
leaders is to be covered by two of the
republicans, and if they make a hos¬
tile move they are to be sliot down.
Of course this action would produce
a riot and Governor Taylor would have
to call out tho militia to quell it. He
would then declare tho state under
martial law and he could follow this
up by asking the national government
to his aid. The work of preparing
the militia for an outbreak has gone
on steadily since the election and now
it is ready for any emergency. placed
Miguel cannon have bean at
all leading points und whuu they are
discharged there will be n hurried
gathering of the troops in tho respect¬
ive armories. All rabid Goebel meu
have been eliminated from tbe militia,
and as it is nl present constituted ev¬
ery innn in the service will fight to
prevent Goebel from taking the gov¬
ernor’s chair if ordered to do so.
Major P. P. Johnston, the Brown
Democrotic candidate for lieutenant
governor, in an interview said he
believed Goebel was about to steal
the governorship, anil that he will
meet with no such armed opposition
from the Republicans as is threatened.
He says tho Republicans are afraid to
tight.
Urey Woodson, national Democratic
committeeman and a member of tho
ways and means committee, says:
"Mr. Goebel will ho in possession
of the governor’s office between Janu¬
ary 25 and uml February 1st. Black¬
burn, and not Goebel, is tho man who
insisted on carrying the contest up to
