SLAYER OF MARSHALL COCK
RELL GETS DEATH SENTENCE.
THE JURY QUICKLY AGREES
Court and Public by Finding
Verdict of Guilty in Short Order
and Prescribing Extreme Penalty
Crime Committed in a Kentucky
Feud.

Cynthinana, KY, Sept. 2S.-After a
trial lasting eight days the jury in the
cast of Curtis Jet, charged with the
murder of Town Marshal Thomas
Cockrell at Jackson, July q, 1902, last
evening rendered a verdict OF guilty
and fixed the punishment at death.
When the jury entered the court
room after agreeing on the verdict,
quiet reigned for a few moments.
Jett's mother had gone away earlier
under the impression that no verdict
would be reached and the verdict of
death about two hours after the jury
was out was a surprise to everyone in
the courtroom.
The reading of the verdict did not
affect Jet but his brother was very
much distressed. Just previous to the
jury reaching the agreement, Judge
Osborne, thinking they would not
reach a verdict yesterday, sent for
them, intending to call off the session
for the rest of the day. But the jury
sent back word that an agreement had
been reached and it would be ready TO
report within five minutes. When the
verdict was read the jury was polled.
The death sentence was then read to
Jet by the clerk, after which Jet was
given over TO the custody of deputy
sheriffs.
A motion for a new trial will be filed
this morning and if the motion is over
ruled he will appeal the case to the
court'Of appeals.
This has been the second trial of
Curtis Jet on the charge of murder. In
the first trial for the murder of J. b.
Marcum at Jackson, KY, Jett and
Thomas White were sentenced to life
Imprisonment.
One juror stated that for four bal
lots eleven jurors voted for the death
penalty and one for a life sentence.
All agreed on the fifth ballot.

EDWARD BECOMES
CABINET MAKER
ENGLISH KING HOLDS VETO pow
Err IN RESERVE.
AN HISTORICAL SITUATION
Sovereign Exercises PrerogatiVes in
Present Political Crisis to an Elk
tent Undreamed of in the Victorian
Era-EVent of Constitutional I'm
portance.

London, Sept. 24.-The political cri-
sis has taken on a phase which lends
to the present situation an historical
and constitutional Importance of al
most unprecedented interest. The
king has interfered not uncon-
stitutionally or beyond the pow
ers vested in the crown, but in the ex-
ercise of his prerOgatives to an extent
never dreamed of in the Victorian era.
Premier BalfOur's continued pres
ence at Balmoral has given rise to
much suTmise and comment, but the
Associated Press is able to state def
nitely that it. is due to the kings deter
mination not to assent to the forma-
ton of a new cabinet until thoroughly
satisfied that its personnel and COM
bination is such as to ensure the eff
cient carrying on of the affairs of the
empire pending the resumption of par
lament.
For years previous, cabinets were
formed or ministerial vacancies filed
with mere formal presentation to the
sovereign of the names of the new
ministers. The king has done away
with this tradition, and has spent the
last few days in conference with Pre-
mier Balfour and others on the sus-
gested appointments.
To such an extent is the king hold
ing his power of veto in reserve thai
he is now almost regardede by the in
ner circles as more of a cabinet maker
than Balfour.

One of the Cloth Falls.

La Crossed. G. BOrgers, who was
dained as a Presbyterian minister
New Amsterdam years ago by the
-.... J. Irwin Smith when the latter
L. the pastor of the First Presbyter-
IN church of this city, was sentenced
8, 80 days in the wOrkhouse.
The tale told by the fallen preacher
was a pitiful one. After he left New
Amsterdam he became pastor of a
church at Sleepy Eye; from there he
went to Iowa, and then back to this
state where he deserted his wife and
nine children eighteen years ago.
Since then he has been a wandering
missionary and has gradually sunk
lower and lower. When he went to
Minneapolis he was taken care of 81
the city mission, but there he became
a burden and was not welcomed. He
finally wandered about until he fell
into the hands of an officer. He is old
and decripit, but showed no signs of
hostility and thanked the court as he
walked from the room leaning upon a
stick.
