Jett Will be Held.
fBx the Associated Press


Lexington May 19.-Curtis Jett, charged
with the murder of ]. b. Marcum, was
brought into the circuit court today at
Winchester on motion to dismiss the
habeas corpus proceedings. The county
attorney was not present, but Jailer
Boone against whom the relief measure
was directed, conducted his own case. The
court decided to hold Jett and made
statement that to return him to Jack
son, KY, will be instantly to turn him
loose. He will await the action of the
Breathitt grand jury. 1t is said there
was some trick in today's proceedings in
the Jett case which Judge Benton de-
feated. The habeas corpus motion had
been overruled and the case set for hear
ing June 4th to ascertain the facts as
to the killing and satisfy the court wheth-
Ell he should hold Jett at all. Jett's at
torney came into court and made a mo-
tion to dismiss his own motion. Judge
Benton believed this a preparatory step
to demanding an terminating trial as the
law provides. In this case he could not
get the Breathill witnesses and Jett could
ask for dismissal in their absence.

Boodlers to Have a New Trial.
(By the Associated Press.)


Jefferson City, Mo, May 19-The YER
diets in the cases of julius Lehman and
H. A Faulkner, former members of the
st. Louis House of Delegates, convicted
of perjury with the Suburban Street Rail
way franchise deal and sentenced each to
two years Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary, were reversed by the Supreme court
today and the cases were remanded to the
St Louis Circuit court for new trials.
Judge Gantz delivered the opinion, which
was concurred in by all the judges.
The court holds that the indictments
against Faulkner and Lehman were valid,
but that the trial court erred in instruct
ing the jury that if it found that Faulkner
and Lehman swore they had never heard
of the 5000 Doodle fund, when in fact
the evidence showed that they knew of
the money, even from newspapers reports,
they should be adjudged guilty of perjury.
The court says chat the trial court had
no power to supply by its instructions an
averment not in the indictment, and per-
init, as it did conviction on a charge
not included in its Indictment

KIsH1NEFFs GOV eRNoR OUT,
Russia Resents Agitation Against Her in the
United States.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
ST. Petersburg, May 19.-The Russian
government has received no representa-
tions from the government of the United
States in regard to the Kischineff massa-
ere beyond an inquiry, through Ambassa-
dor Mccormick several days ago, whether
the money and supplies which were being
offered from all parts of America for the
sufferers would be acceptable to the Rus
sian government The Foreign Office re-
piled that while it greatly appreciated the
American generosity there was no need
for relief. as the wants of the inhabitants
of Kischineff were being looked after.
There is no doubt that while the Rus
sian officials much regret the Kischineff
massacre they equally resent what they
call the anti Russian agitation in Ameri-
ca" which they claim is ''fomented by
the influential English press"
The report that Lieutenant General
Raabenbra governor of Kischineff, Bes-
sarabia, where the massacre of Jews oc-
Cured a month ago, had been dismissed by
the Car is confirmed. The Imperial
ukase dismissing the general is dated
May II.
