Bloody Deed Was Carried Out

Belgrade, servia: A military
conspiracy which subsequent events
show had the sympathy Of the ma
jority Of the Servlan people, was
carried out in the early hours of
this morning, and King Alexander,
Queen Draga, her two brothers and
several ministers were assassinat-

Prince Peter Karageorgeyitch,
pretender to the throne, has been
proclaimed king by the army, and
there is every reason to believe
that this decision will be confirmed
by the seryian parliament, which
has been summoned to meet on
June 15
The revolution was executed
without any opposition on the part
of the people of Belgrade, and the.
capital Of the country remains very
quiet.

Sensational Testimony in Trial of Jet and White

$4,000 IL he would not testify against
Curtis Jet.
The crowd at the court house was
large yesterday. The soldiers that
brought Curtis Jett and Thomas White
from the jail guarded them in the
court room. Jet was as confident as
ever and White was more despond
ent. Whites mother is with bum and
constantly begging him to tell the
whole truth. Miss Sarah Higgins, the
daughter of the county judge, was to-
day again seated beside the defend
ants
The sensational disclosures made
this morning by Captain Even against
Curtis Jett has thrown Jackson into
furore of excitement. There was
much stir about the court house. Cap
tain Even detailed the story of the at
tempted bribery, when he was offered
$4,000 and the money was counted to
him. if he would agree to alter his
testimony SO 1t would not incTiminate

Jackson, KY: There was great
change here today. Putting the town
under martial law with Provost Mar
shall Longmire in charge has created
CONSERVATION in some circles and
relief in others The soldiers now
who are on guard at different places
and on picket duty, are able to make
arrests anywhere and take those who
are arrested before the grand jury and
not before the county Judge. AS the
probability of martial law had been
freely discussed for some time, the
warning factions knew what it meant
as soon as provost marshal was APP
pointed last night. The presence of
State Inspector Hines also continues
still to be a matter Of anxious spec
ulation. The closing of the blind
tigers and the vigilant patrol of the
troops to see that the CLOSING or
derss of the provost marshal are
strictly enforced, have stopped the
random firing in and about the town
during the nights and also made quite
difference during the day.
With Colonel Williams in command
Of battalion of troops to execute any
order of the provost marshal and State
Inspector Hines Watching the progress
Of the trial, as well as conditions in
town, there is now a general impress
sion that Governor Beckham proposes
to see that there is order in Jackson
and the law will take its course.
Such is the comment on all hands;
that the witnesses are no longer be-
lieyed to be so apprehensive as to
what may happen to them. Some even
GO, SO far as to think that the intimi-
alton that has prevailed in this coun-
ty for years has lost its force. 1t
