JET AND WHITE GET LIFE.
Verdict Of Guilty, With Life I'm
prisonment.
One Juror Hung the Jury Mt First
Trial and One Juror Saved
Their Lives This Time.

Cynthiana, KY, Aug 15.--Curtis Jet
and Thomas White were, Friday, found
guilty of the murder of J. B. Marcum,
at Jackson, KY, on May 4, and SEN
fenced for life.
At their trial held in Jackson last
month one juror hung the jury to the
last on the question of guilt, and this
time one juror hung the jury for "a
hours on the question of sentence. The
first ballot was II to for conviction of
both defendants, and the second was
unanimous for conviction. The first
ballot on the sentence was seven for
death and five for life Imprisonment.
The separate ballots on Jett's case
stood IL for hanging and one for life
sentence, and this result was not
changed in subsequent votes. JASPER
King, formerly a deputy sheriff, voting
alone NTH a compromise was reached
Tor ne s'ntence for both. During the
afterAool Judge Osborne heard the mo-
ton OF the defense for a new trial.
The grounds set forth consist of OBJ
jections to evidence admitted for the
commonwealth and rejected for the de-
tense and also to the ruling out of aft
davits made by the defendants, saying
that fair and impartial trial could
not be had on account of the military
display. which infiamed the public
mind. The attorneys for the prosecu-
ton were in consultation during the
afternoon and night as to whether they
would oppose the motion for a new
trial as to Jet, as they say if they can
not get a new trial in this case they
will have enough new evidence to Sc
cure death sentence Prosecuting At
torney Byrd said that if they decided
to oppose the new trial in the Marcum
case at the next. term of the HARRISON
circuit court, which begins three weeks
from next Monday, they would put for
ward the case of the commonwealth
against Curtis Jet for the murder of
Town Marshal Jim Cockrell. To this
murder there are said to have been
six eye-witnesses.
Jet and White are still at the Jail
guarded by soldiers in relays of ten,
and Judge Osborne said that he had not
decided as to whether he would allow
Jett and White to remain in Cynthiana
or would send them to Lexington.

JEFFR|ES STILL
TIE CHAMPION
Whipped Corbett in Ten Rounds
at San Francisco.
SOLAR PLEXUS ENDS FIGHT
Demonstrates That He Strands Alone
In His Class-ShOwcd Remarkable
Improvement Both i'm Speed
and Skill.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-Ten thou
sand men were seated about the arena
in Mechanics pavilion at nine o'clock
Friday night, representing an expendi-
ture for seating accommodations ag-
gregating $4,000. This is the largest
crowd that ever assembled at a ring
side in this country, and the third
largest sum in dollars and cents ever
contested for. The two that exceeded
1t in receipts were the Corbett-Jefferies
fight at Coney Island, $4,000, and the
Corbett-McCoy fight at Madison Square
garden, New York, $4,000.
James j. Jeffries, champion heavy
weight OF the world, played with Jim
Corbett for nine rounds and half, and
then Corbett's seconds motioned to Ref
cree Graney to stop the fight, in order
to save their man from needless pun
ishment. The end came shortly after
the beginning of the tenth round, when
Jeffries planted one of his terrific left
swings on Corbett's stomach. The man
who conquered John L. Sullivan
dropped to the floor in agony, and the
memorable scene at Carson City, when
Bob Fitzsimmons landed his solar
plexus blow, was almost duplicated
This time, however, Corbett struggled
to his feet and again faced his gigantic
adversary. With hardly a moments
hesitation Jeffries swung his right and
again landed on Corbett's stomach jim
dropped to the floor, and it was after
that that Tommy Ryan, seeing it was
all over, motioned to Referee Graney to
stop the fight.
Friday nights fight demonstrated
that Jeffries stands alone in his class.
He showed remarkable improvement in
both speed and skill. Corbett, during
the first part of the fight, was almost
Outpointed and the few blows that he
landed on Jeffries were apparently
without sting Jeffries was never in
better condition. He looked lighter
than usual, and the way he moved
about on his feet, and the frequency
with which he countered Corbetts
leads, astonished everyone. Corbett, in
comparison with the big man opposed
to him, looked very light, but was real
ly heavier than ever before. He ap-
peared to have lost some of his old
time speed and skill.
Jim Corbett said, after the fight:
Il did my best, and lost. l fought
the best l knew. Jeffries was too big
for me, and he is the best man in the
world. If the public is satisfied with
my fight | am. l am glad to give JEFF
fries all the credit that is. his due.
have no personal feelings in the mat
ter. l have fought my last fight"
Corbett received many kilograms
from eastern friends, principally the
atrical, offering him lucrative engage
ments, win or lose.

WENT THROUGH A BRIDGE.
The Katy Flyer Takes a Header
Into Hendricks Creek.
The Accident Occurred at Alma, Kas.-The
Fireman Killed and the Engineer
Seriously Hurt.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 14.-The engine,
mail car and baggage car of the Texas
express on the Rock Island which
leaves Topeka at midnight went
through a bridge across Hendricks
creek near Alma at 1870 Thursday
morning, killing Fireman John Lig-
gett, Of Mcfarland, Kas., and seriously
injuring the engineer, John McSteen,
of Kansas City. The baggagemen and
expressmen jumped when the shock
came and were swept by the waters
into tree tops, whence they were res
cued at daylight by William Graves,
fisherman. Graves AFRO found the en-
gineer unconscious and entangled in
the limbs of a tree. The engine is in
the bottom of the creek out of sight
One car is dangling from the end of
the bridge and another is lodged on the
bank of the stream, partially under
water That fearful loss of life did
not follow is due to the narrowness of
the stream where the disaster occurred
A cloudburst had filled the creek and
weakened the bridge.
Passenger train No. L., which the
wrecked train had passed at McFar-
land, was following closely, and only
the prompt action of Conductor Cane
and Flagman McGruder prevented a
collision from the rear.
The night was wild one, and the
force of the current, the darkness and
the driving rain, together with the
cries for help of those in the water,
combined to make a dismal scene The
rescuing party built fires along the
bank, and did everything possible to
locate the men in the water.

Recorder. daily newspaper published
at Americas, Ca, visited the state
house, Friday, to petition for the par
don of Mamie de Criss, who was Sc
brutally whipped by Warden Allgood
at the state prison farm.
Mrs. Myrick presented her petition to
Gov. Terrell and the prison commits
sioners, and her version of its reception
has created a sensation.
Look here" said she, as she entered
the room, Il want to protest against
any such brutal abuse as was admins
farm. 1t is wrong and"
Warden Moore interrupted and, ac-
cording to Mrs. Myrick, said that he
could not understand why such hue
and cry had been raised by the De-
Criss case
HE told me-" continued Mrs. Myrick
that Mamie de Crisis was not the first
white woman to be dashed at the state
farm; that other women had received
much worse punishment, and that the
De Criss woman did not get half what
she deserved.
Jake Moore said that other white
women had been whipped and the peo-
pie did not raise a howl, and he was
unable to understand why such noise
had been made about this affair, when
Allgood and Dr. Adams were doing on
ly their duty.
Mr. Eason said that the prison COM
mission did not propose to let newspa-
pers of the state bulldoze them into a
report condemning the whipping, and l
don't suppose they intend taking any
action at ALL"
