DON'T WANT THE
CASE TRANSFERRED
Prosecution Asks Judge Red
wine TO ReScind Order
WITNESSES ARE IN DANGER
Curtis Jett and Tom White May Yet
Be Tried In Jackson, According
to the Original Planetary
Reasons Are Given.

Jackson, Ky, June 2.-The prosecution
In the cases of Curtis Jett and Tom
White, charged with the murder of j. b.
row to rescind his order granted today
transferring the cases to the Morgan
Circuit court.
The prosecution was taken by surprise
today when Judge Redwine, in response
to motion by the commemorative at
torney for a change of venue, trans
ferred the case to Morgan county in
Judge Stephen Girard Kenner's judicial
district. The attorneys for the prosecu-
ton anticipated that Judge Redwine
would send the case to a county not in
the mountains.
1t is believed that the fear of assassina-
ton would prevent witnesses going to
West Liberty. the county seat of Morgan
county, which is nine miles from a rail-
read.
viii Make Another Attempt.
If Judge Redwine rescinds his order the
prosecution will try again to get an
elisor and try the case here.
The affidavit which has been drafted
to support the motion to be made to-
morrow sets forth the following reasons
why the case should not go to Morgan
County:
l. The order for a change of venue
shall be accompanied by an order direct
ing the sheriff or jailer to deliver the
prfssiners TO the jailer of the county to
which the case is transferred The Nor
gan County jail is insecure
2. The affiants are informed that friends
of the defendants expressed willingness
to have the case tried by a jury from
Morgan County, if the case was tried i'll
Breathitt.
3. Mrs. J. B. Marcum. an important
witness for the prosecution, is In a deli
cate condition and unable to make the
trip from Camel City to West Liberty,
nine miles over rough mountain roads.
Witnesses In Danger.
d. The accommodations for lawyers and
witnesses are insufficient and hard to
obtain at West Liberty and important wit
nesses would be in great danger of death
or bodily harm from assassins while going
to and returning from the county seat of
Morgan county.
5. That Sheriff Ed Callahan is a close
friend of the defendant and that Tailor
William Spencer Is an uncle of Curtis
Jet and for this reason, If said prisoners
are conveyed from this county to some
other county by either sheriff or jailor,
the vigilance exercised by said officers
would be of such a nature as to give rise
TO fear and distrust on the part of all of
the law-abiding and non-interested citi-
zens.
