ATTORNEY SHOT DOWN.
James B. Marcum Killed By an Unknown Enemy at Jackson,
 Kentucky.
ELECTION FUEO REACHES CLIMAX.
Pgpcrs in Contest Filed by the Mur- dered Man After Being Warned thnt His Life was In Danger Friends Afraid to Approach the Body-AssassIn Escapes.

Lexington, Ky, May 5.-Just after he had finished filing papers reopen ing the contested election cases of Breathitt county, Hon. James E. Mar cum was shot and killed, Monday, by an unknown assassin. He fell in his tracks in the front entrance of the courthouse at Jackson, Ky, and never spoke, death being almost instantan- eous. He fell within few yards of where Town Marshal James Cockre1l was shot down in July, the assassin being stationed in the courthouse in each instance.
 Marcum was counsel for the fusion ists who are contesting for the offices of county judge, sheriff and other places now held by democrats. As a result of his efforts and his sympa- thy with the Coellrell faction in the Hargis-C feud he had for q year been generally regarded as a marked man." Various plots to as sassinate him have been reported and sworn to in at1idavits. For 72 days last fall he was a prisoner in his own home daring not even to go out on his porch. The bitterness of the feud somewhat abated, however. and the election cases were allowed to sleep until Monday

PeriIour Case Resumed.

Despite warnings, Marcum felt safe in resuming his interrupted practice some time ago and felt secure in fil ing a motion to reopen the cases which had imperiled his life months before. At eight o'clock he went to the courthouse at Jackson and the papers were filed. He walked from the clerks office to the front door of the courthouse, and facing the street, engaged in conversation with Ben ja- min Ewing, a friend. The corridor at his back was full of men. Ewing was half leaning on Marcum's shoulder. The men had been talking about three minutes, and it was s:30 o'clock when shot rang out in the rear of the corridor Marcum staggered, and as he sank to the floor another shot was fired. The first bullet entered the back to the right of the spinal column, and passing through the breast and body, struck the door fac ing him. The next shot passed through the top of his head and was aimed as he reeled. The shots ap- peared to come from doorway, or possibly from behind q door in the corridor, but as the passage was quickly cleared amid great confusion no one seemed able to state accurate lv where the assassin was located.
 Friends Feared to Appronch.
 Marcum's body lay for ten minutes untouched. Even his friends feared to approach the place or to touch the body. It was finally picked up by friends and carried to a drugstore op- posite and from there was taken home. Some say they saw the assas- sin run out of the rear door, and 1t seems certain that he made his escape that way during the confusion. II is generally believed that the assassin was recognized by several persons, but no one has thus far had the cour- age to name him.
 Mareum was trustee of the Ken lucky state college, United States commission of his district and repre- sented the Lexington X Eastern rail- road and other large corporations. He had practiced law in Breathitt eeun- ty for r years. He had avoided feuds and until he took charge of the election cases, which involved the Hargis factitn. had been friend of members of both factions. For three months, beginning last July he did not leave his home. and after that for months was always accompanied by his wife and women friends or carried one of his children with him for pro- tection. The funeral will take place in Mount Sterling, probably cn Wednesday,
