f xl L >.< hmmd P r i r V OL. 12 1 un She Tells Jury of Insults Heaped Upon Her By Leidenheimer. STATE HAS A STRONG CASE YVitnesses Declare That the Mur¬ der Was Premeditated-Sen¬ sations Galore. The second day’s trial at Chatta¬ nooga of Miss Julia Morrison for the "Murder of Frank Leidenlieimer was repele with dramatic situations. Tho state introduced witness after witness who painted a black picture of the woman who trembled at their words. The trend of the testimony showed that she laid in wait for Actor Frank Leidenlieimer and when the opportu¬ nity came she pulled the pistol she carried concealed in the folds of her dress and fired into his face. After be had failed she stooped over him and deliberately fired a ball into his writhing body. The examination of witnesses for tlie state occupied the morning session and the court adjourned until tho af¬ ternoon. STATEMENT OF DEFENDANT. Immediately on reassembling nt 2 o’clock, the court ordered tlie exami¬ nation of witnesses to proceed and Miss Morrison was called to the stand. The accused woman was quito flustrated at first and seemed to be very much excited, but she soon bo came calmer and proceeded to give her testimony in nn emphatic and clear, though rather dramatic manner. Hlie stated that she had been subjected to all kinds of insults by Leiden; that when Leiden found that sho was mar¬ ried he had subjected her to syste temalic insult and abuse and had con¬ tinued it until it became unbearable. The first witness called was TV. J. Patterson, the stage manager of the Chattanooga opera house, who testi¬ fied as follows: “Lieudenlieimer said nothing to Miss Morrison or made any effort to assault her when she tired the shot. She shot, him before he could speak. 'The shot, was fired the second she saw him.” A His story was very damaging to Miss Morrison. On questioning him on Liedenheimer’s actions, he swore that lie acted tlie gentleman and tried to avoid any trouble with Miss Morrison, who seemed to be ill-tempered aud in suiting. Leon H. Joseph, olectrieian at tho oj era house, was next railed and his evidence was the most damaging of all for the defense. The attorneys en deavored to make him say he had His cussed the case with the prosecutor and fixed up the testimony, but lie do nied it bitterly. Here the attorneys on both sides got into an argument, and it looked as if it would lie a personal difficulty, un til the sheriff made all sit down and tho judge ordered tho first attorney under arrest who again made a dis turhauce. Attorney Latimoro asked Witness Joseph if Leidenlieimer, the murdered man, was not a Jew. He replied ho did not know. At this instant, Mrs. Autz, sister of Leidenlieimer, who was present, jumped up mid said: “You lie if you say he was a Jew. Y’ou are trying to prejudice the jury.” Judge Estell announced that all demonstrations must stop. Rogers Eyley, of Now York, who was assistant manager of the “Mr. Plaster of Paris” company, was the next witness. His testimony a great sensation. When he com menced to testify Miss Morrison he gan to cry and hide her face. He swore he heard her say to Leidenbei mer the morning before ths murder: “I’ll put a ball through you yet very soon.” He swore that he saw her the night, of tlie. murder and that she had her treet dress on and was not made up for tho stage, and did not have her r '. ' 1 l ess on or her stage make-up. The attorneys for Miss Morrison at¬ tempted to prevent Mr. Biley from telling what the duties of Leiden lieimer, ns tho stage manager, were. Here a dispute arose between the attorneys. Judge Estell became eu raged and left the stand, lie got be¬ tween the lawyers, took a paper from their hands, and said: “This farce must stop. I’ll ciecide this controversy. Mr. Riley, you tell all you kuow. We are going to get at 1he bottom of this ease, and are not going to have anything covered up.” Mr. Ililev was then turned over to the defense to lie cross examined. While all this was going on Miss Morrison was spending her time in the courtroom crying and making demonstrations. When Miss Morrison was called she arose and walked with a confident air toward the witness stand. Every eye was eagerly upon the occupant of the witness box. The seal upon her lips was about to be broken and a tale of DYNAMITE WAS THAWED. As n ISesiilt One Man Is Instantly Killed aud Two Die From Injurio*. Four quorrymeu on the Tennessee Central railroad near Bockwood, Teun., attempted to thraw out a stick of dynamite which had been frozen up pioded, in a box.

Colonel Jo a Clift, for tho defeuso, took the stand through the story of her wrongs and her wsv.i derings. She began her story as fol¬ lows: > i My name is Julia Morrison James. My stage name is Julia Morrison. I am in tlie theatrical profession. I was born in Kansas, as well as I know. I had some foster parents. I can’t state ‘ Xactly 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 tears 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 aud hold them against tli • wall and beat my head. “My husband and myself went from LaFayette, La , to Paterson, N. J. 1 then clerked a short time in New Y’ork. For a while we hoarded on ’Vest For¬ tieth street, then East Fortieth street. I then went with the ‘Mr. Plaster of Palis’ company. “After I was employed by Harris, I stayed in New York awhile and re¬ hearsed—went to rehearsals everyday and worked hard. Lei ien was with the company at that time. Upon the first few occasions ho was very gen tlemanly. IIo found no fault wiiat ever, lie told me I was great, and ex cellent. I exhibited to Mr, Leiden my costumes which I had to wear. “In Poekskill, New York,” tho wit¬ ness continued, “Leiden came up to my room. The door was open nod I was lying on the bed with my head toward the door. I supposed it was my hus¬ band who came in. The next, 1 knew there was a pair of arms around me, and lie made an indecent proposal. It became necessary for the witness to tell what, Leiden had called her, and sbe said, “Can’t I write tliose horrible things?” When told she must use tiie language, she proceeded. “I heard Leiden say to his assistant not, to send out a lithograph of myself, as ho expected to get rid of tlie---” Hero tlie witness Used words untit for print. “He frequently called me a bitch.” Here the witness used language unfit to print. Referring to the incidents before the tragedy at the Chattanooga opera house, just previous to tho tragedy, she said: “I arrived at the opera house a minute or two before 12. I heard Mr. Leiden 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 in my face. He said: ‘f. didn’t call the rehearsal because the piece needs rehearsing, but to aee if you would cerne. ’ He said, ‘I would address you as a lady if I thought you were a lady, you bitch.’ Ho said that I wasn’t fit to be in a dog show. He kicked me in the abdomen and slapped mo with liis hand. He started to slap me again, but Mr. Breeding interfered. He wouldn’t let him hit mo 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 (hit I remember of to put a ball through Leiden. I al ways carried a pistol iu my bosom. My husband gave it to me in LaFay¬ ette, lift. I made no statement that I would see Leiden before tho curtain went up that night. There is no truth in 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, Tho time I was to appear on the stage in 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. The. very dress I have on Mr. Leiden told me I looked beautiful in and I had worn it in the play. “After reaching my dressing room 1 took of! my hat, opened my grip and took out my keys to open my trunk.” That evening, she stated, Leiden had gone to the toilet room where she was, while she was sick, and had of fered an indignity, which sho told to the court, and which is unfit for the prints. “I pushed him away and pushed him out of tiie toilet. Ho slapped mo violently. A colored girl came after me. The colored girl followed me up the steps. There was no one in front. I found tho 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 lioll do 7 „„„ ! „ ni( ‘ n!1 >. Y 0 ' 1 ’ I kill you. „ I _ lost consciousness here. I believed ho was going to carry out his throats. I have no recollection of firing one, two or three shots. I remember nothing else until the officer came up and said, ‘Come, lady!’” At this juncture the court adjourned until TO RESUME BUSINESS. New York Produce Kxdmngo Truitt Com¬ pany Arrange* to Kcopen.

The feature of Monday’s session of the senate was the speech of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, upon the general subject of ballot restriction in the south. The senator from Alabama took as the text for his speech the res elution introduced several days ago by Senator Pritchard, of North Caro¬ lina, or rather the substitute which that senator 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 oi* classes of persons and excludes other citizens because they are not descended from such persons or classes of persons, hav¬ ing all other qualifications pre¬ scribed by law, iu the opinion of the senate is in violation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend¬ ments to the constitution of tiie United States, and of a fundamen¬ tal principle of our republican form of government, Li opening Senator Morgan said Hint this resolution reveals the fact that we have reached a danger point >n tho. history of the republic, which we cannot avoid or neglect, The next apportionment of representation in the house must lie made by this, or the fifty-seventh congress,said the senator, and the principles on which the ap¬ portionment will he made will be a question of the gravest importance in tiiis year’s election. He believed the question ought to he considered in advance of these elections. The people should decide the great question involved in these resolutions at the elections of this year upon propositions submitted to them in some form. “I am convinced," said the senator, “that no other tribunal except the people voting in the elections has tlie right or the power to finally settle this question here presented in the resolu¬ tion offered by the senator from North Carolina.” “1ST.

Instead it is more bitterly contested each day- A long drawn and closely contested legal fight is imminent. In fact it lias begun. Ti e latest move in what will prob¬ ably prove to be one of the most bit¬ terly fought railway battles of recent years was made at Si mon, (Tn., Mon¬ day when Jud e Emoy Speer, of the United States cmTcourt of the southern district of t ieorgia, granted a temporary injunction restraining the officers of the (Ieorgia and Alabama railway from consolidating it with the Florida Central amLj'ei'biisnlar rail nail or any other corporations on it, bill filed by Michael J.

No departure is intended by this bill from tho public policy which was adopted years ago and lias been consistently adhered to through sue eossive administrations. “The liill now beforo the senate contains no disavowal of the position heretofore taken upon the question of international bimetallism and places no obstacles in the. way of its acoom plishment in the future.” Senator Aldrich accused tlie Demo evatie party of advocating a policy that would lead to silver monometal lisnx and declared it was not a bimo tallio party at nil. “The committee does not suggest any changes in the status of tho silver dollar or tho silver certificate. We do uot propose to take, away from silver atiy of the monetary privileges or po rogatives which it now enjoys. In fact, wo believe that the legislation suggested will greatly strengthen its position in our monetary system.” Tlie senator defended the refunding provisions of the bill as a ary measure in view of the possible in crease of the public debt.
