MARCUM MURDER TRIAL.


The court for the second trial Of
Curtis Jett and Thomas White, for the
murder of James B. Marcum at Jack
son, KY, opened yesterdays session at
$50 a. m. Fifty-one witnesses for the
commonwealth answered to their names.
Prosecuting Attorney A. I. Byrd, who
conducted the commonwealth side Of
the case at the trial at Jackson, made
the opening statement for the prosecu-
ton.
While the defense has subpOenaed
over 100 witnesses to impeach those
testifying for the commonwealth and
prove alibis for Jett and White in the
Marcum murder case, the prosecution is
also securing many valuable witnesses
who could not be served during the
first trial. An officer arrived yesterday
from Breathitt county with Samuel
Little. who is considered stronger wit
ness than either B. j. Even or John l..
Patrick. 1t is stated that Samuel Little
not only saw Jet and White just before
Marcum fell and again after the shoot
ing but also that he witnessed the shoot
ing in the courthouse. Little was ar
rested tuesday night by the soldiers,
while in hiding. Little is related to
Curtis Jett.
John Freeman, another important
witness for the commonwealth, who Is
said to have fed to the mountains dur
ing the trial at Jackson last month, was
also brought in by deputy. Both will
be held until they are called by Com
monwealth Attorney Byrd.
Capt. B. ]. Even, the principal wit
ness for the prosecution, was the fist
witness called by the commonwealth.
After his testimony Judge Osborne asked
him if he desired guards to take him
across the river to camp. He said that
he desired guards, and he was tempo
rarily placed in one of the juryrooms
until the military was called for, and
they took him to Camp Licking. On
the witness stand it developed that he
had made different statements to Judge
Hargis and others Immediately after the
killing of Marcum in Breathitt county.
He gave as his reason that he was
afraid to say otherwise, as he was afraid
of Hargis and Callahan. He said that
Hargis, Callahan and Combs had called
him into consultation Immediately after
the killing and told him what to say,
and that he had agreed to do so, as he
was afraid of being killed then and
there This created some stir in the
courtroom, and Immediately after he
had left the stand some applause was
started, which Judge Osborne promptly
suppressed.

DOUBLE DROWNING.

Plunging into the surf in heroic but
effort to save the life of
Miss Merle Shannon, of Williamport,
Pa, DR.. Joseph Melvin, of Carbondale,
Pa, lost his life yesterday afternoon be-
tween 4 and o'clOck at Atlantic City.
The heroism and double drowning were
witnessed by several thousand persons,
who watched the life and death struggle
in the breakers from the beach and the
boardwalk The tragic occurrence took
place at the sea end of New Jersey avenue.
The girl was in the water and was breast
ing the breakers considerable distance
from shore, when a powerful breaker
lifted her off her feet and carried her into
deep water. The current swept her
around the end of the jetty at a point
where the water is Is or 20 feet depth
Not knowing how to swim, she began to
struggle for her life and shrieked for
help. Or. Melvin had accompanied her
into the surf Without thought of per-
sonal danger. and knowing that he would
be helpless in deep water, as he was but
a poor swimmer, he plunged to his fate.
DR.. Melvin struggled to the side Of the
drowning girl and caught her bathing
skirt. He clung to it for a minute or
more, when another breaker separated
him from his hold. Three lifeguards at
the first alarm of danger rushed into the
water. One brought in the unconscious
form of the doctor, but the girls body
was not recovered. The double tragedy
attracted several thousand excited per-
sons to the scene. In the crowd was
Mrs. John Klune, of Carbondale, Pa,
mother of the drowned bather. She
worked her way through the deep circle
of people which surrounded the lifeguard
at work, unconscious OF the fact that ii
was her son from whom life had fed. She
did not discovered It until she was beside
the corpse. The heart-droken woman
was removed from the crowd by friends.
