Stranger Hired at Fulton to
Kill Two Councilman.
The Alleged Plotter Had Been Ar.
rested and Forced to
Leave Town.
DEED WAS TO COST 800

A great deal of excitement has been
created In Fulton over the discovery
of supposed plot to murder two Of
the oounoilmen of the South Side, DR..
r. N. Whitehead and Mr.. W. ". Nor.
ris. Citizens from there today state
that the excitement has about died
down.
1t appears there was o desperate
character named Noel Hall who kept
a very bad resort. The councilmen,
among others, were instrumental in
breaking up his joint and Hall was ar
rested ana forced to put mp cash bond
OF $500. his mother. Mrs. Annie
Hall, was day or two ago arrested
also and fined for bootlegginR. and in
default went to Jail at Union City.
The whereabouts of Hall cannot be
ascertained just at present. He left
Fulton several days ago and cannot be
located, according to tho Leader,
which says further: Several weeks
ago he employed q stranger to kill Dr.
r. N. Whitehead and W. W. Morris,
but the strangers nerve failed him
and he gave mp the job. The strang-
er who was Swede and whose name
was never made known, walked into
DR.. whitehead's office one morning
and told DIR. Whitehead that Hall had
employed him to kill the doctor and
Mr.. Morris. but he wassuot in the muir
dering business and thought he would
inform him of the plot to kill him.
He further stated that Hall offered
him 500 to do the job aud gave him
fine revolver and mask, which he af-
forward turned over to DIR. Whitehead
The mask was purchased at ID. W.
Hughes's by Hall and the story was
generally credited. The same strsng-
err approached Mr. W. W. Morris and
told him the same story also told
Judge Sellars of the affair.
While DIR. Whitehead and his friends
were procuring evidence to srrest Hall
and the stranger, the latter suddenly
disappeared and has not been heard Of
since.
Hall had been conducting house
of ill.fame in South Fulton for some
time and also selling whiskey since
the saloons were voted out. DR..
Whitehead and Mr.. Morris who are
councilmen of South Fulton were in
strumental in aiding the town in get
ting rid of the saloons and assisting in
breaking up Halls den and this in
voked Halls anger until in desperate
straits he wished to thus get rid OF
these gentlemen.
Few have known OF the plot to kill
the men and of the circumstances con-
nectcd with it, but the affair has not
been made public on account Of the
men trying to obtain further evidence.

WHAT DOES HARGIS CARE?

County Judge Hargis, of Breathitt,
ought to resign, but he probably will
not. He is strongly entrenched be.
hind powerful faction which must
be wiped out before the lawlessness II
Is responsible for can be suppressed.
Judge Hargis and his followers seem
TO be in control of the county and hav-
ing the home people afraid Of them,
they show a supreme contempt for
what outsiders may think. Judge
Hargis himself apparently has no res
pect for the law. He insisted during
the Jett- White trial in telling some
thing that hsd been objected to by the
commonwealth and sustained by the
court, and when asked il he dIdn {
hear the objection, and hear the court
sustain it, he defiantly replied that he
did, but that he Thought it was my
duty and my privilege to explain it,
and did so." This provokes from
the Lexington Herald the following
comment:
"Of course the action of Judge Har-
gis was fragrant contempt of court
rs we'll as brazen disobedience to law
and defiance of the constituted au-
thorities. But does anyone doubt the
scornful contempt that Judge Hargis
really has for he court and its judge
He knows what the state can only be-
ieve and suspect; and he felt perfect
ly free to exhibit any part of the COM
plete contempt he felt for that court.
and knew he could do it with entire
safety. And why should he show any
respect for law or any obedience to au-
thority?
"If the settled Judgment of the citi-
zens Of Breathitt county has any
foundation, the two persons in Ken
tucky for whom Judge Hargis must
have supreme contempt are the COVER
nor of the commonwealth and the
Judge of the Breathitt circuit court"
Now that the noted murder trial,
conducted almost under the mouth of
Z. cannon at great cost to the state. has
amounted to naught. the question Of
what to do with Breathitt forces itself
on the people of Kentucky with in
creased vigor and insistence. The
soldiers cannot be kept there indefi
nitely to protect those who hold or
have incurred the enwity Of the des-
perate anc bloodthirsty outlaws who
shoot and burn, and when they are
withdrawn it is difficult to anticipate
what narrowing scenes may transpire.
The only thing to do now is to hope

any excess over this demand. The leaf
trade, in consequence, lost most of it's
profits to the farmer, but the increased,
and in many cases the trebled, profits of
the farmer contributed to the general
prosperity OF the country, which stimu-
lates increased consumption and which,
again, brings some of the lost profits
back into the same channels by an en-
larged volume of business. For the vol
ume of trading in cigar leaf was never
larger than in 1902. In fact, it reached
the largest and unprecedented quantity
of at least one hundred and twenty-six
million pounds To this enormous guam
tity, the largest ever consumed in this
country, the domestic leaf must have
contributed at least one hundred and
five million pounds. And it was not ex-
actly the most desirable leaf either that
was consumed. The New England leaf,
the chief source of our domestic wrap
per leaf supply, was defective in more
than one respect. It's moldiness is now
a matter of record. But it went so fast
that it had no time to rot. And the
trade even Jared better with its binder

sight had reserved some of their binder
stock from the remarkable Wisconsin
crop of 1890, realized more than ordinary
profit. Nor did the filler stock 60 beg
ging, in spite of largely increased yield.
While the fancy growths did not ad
vance proportionately in value, partly
because they were needed no longer as
substitute for Havana, the average type
of the filler sold at a higher price than
for many years past. No matter, there
fore, what complaints were uttered dur
ing the year in regard to the domestic
leaf business, the fact cannot be contro-
verted that in 1902 larger volume Of
business in domestic leaf was transacted
than in any previous year, and that the,
market enters upon the new year with
smaller stock of domestic leaf than it
ever did before, and if these are not
proofs of good times then there are no
such proofs, Journal.
