JUDGE HARGIS SMILED
BUT TOM WHITE TURNED PALE AND
ALMOST COLLAPSED.
Marcum's Murder Denounced by Pros
ecutOr Webster-Judge O~sbOrne's
Charge to the Jury.

CYNTHIANA, KY, Aug. Sat the open
ing Of court to-day, in the case of Curtis
Jett and Thomas White. charged with the
murder of Thomas b. Marcum May A last,
Judge Osborne gave his instructions TO the
Jury. They contained the usual clause as
to reasonable doubt and added that the
guilt of one did not depend on the guilt
of the other, but If both were found guilty
as charged in the Indictment, separate pun
ishments might be found against them, this
of course being left to the discretion of
the jury.
Judge B. Fulton French, of Winchester,
KY, opened the argument for the defense.
His speech was mainly devoted to the tes-
timony of Capt. B.. j. Even, the main wit
ness Of the prosecution. and to the at
tempted impeachment Of Ewen's reputa-
ton for truthfulness. After charging Even
with cowardice and lying in the case he de-
clared that God never gave a truthful
tongue and a coward heart to the sane
man." In closing Judge French asked for
an acuuittal, acknowledging that his client,
Jett, was a bad boy, and had a bad rep
utation.
J.. s. Webster, county attorney of Har-
rison county, followed Judge French in a
speech for the prosecution which lasted
two hours and forty minutes. His speech
was full of the most bitter invective and
scathing denunciation and held the close
attention of the large audience in the
courtroom. He urged the jurors to do their
duty in the case and bring in a verdict of
guilty with a death sentence.
He referred to Judge Hargis and Sheriff
Callahan as the leaders in the Breathitt
county troubles. In one of his passages Of
severe arraignment of Judge Hargis and
Sheriff Ed Callahan, Webster said: I'm the
hereafter, when time shall be no more and
the Angel Gabriel shall place to his lips
the ofttimes-heard-of trumpet and shall
blow the final blast, Hargis n Callahan
will read by the red fires of hell the
account of the murder Of j. b. Marcum
and the indictment held in the hands of
Curtiss Jett."
Again, In reply to Judge French. who
had accused the commonwealth with tam
pering'' with witnesses, Webster said: ITO
Judge French we hurl back the accusation.
If his soul had not been as foul as the cess
pool of hell he would never have made the
insinuation."
Throughout his speech Judge Hargis
smiled. but Tom White, almost during the
whole Of his trial was on the verge of col
lapse, trembled visibly and his face turned
ashy pale. Webster closed his speech at
Sis o'clock and the court adjourned over
until Monday morning. At the present rate
of progress it seems that the case will not
go to the jury earlier than Tuesday after
noon.

10 be peculiar condition of affairs ex-
listing in the marine labor Situation. and
unless unless there is change it win mean the
tonnage and less. This ,tie-up is regarded
as being likely to occur by the last of this
month. The problem, i is ! growing more
serious to these vessel owners who say
that by Oct. many unions of marine Ia
porers Will enforce their contracts calling
Tor an increase of wages III the fall The
increases call for from 10 to 40 per cent
and Just how the vessel owners, that it,
the owners of the smaller, vessels, can pay
them Is a question.
The season has been a bad one for the
smaller vessel owners. owing to the con-
ditions in the lake trade. And now come
the trust boats to engage in the coal trade
and probably In the grain carrying trade.
These boats will drive the smaller ones to
the wall, and, with the wages asked for
1t is not seen how they will be able to
continue operations.
The heads of the various unions main
tain that all owners having the contracts
will be compelled to pay the fall increase
in wages If they intend to operate their
boats. They claim that it is the custom
of the smaller owners to plead hard times
When the time for the enforcing of the
contract comes around, and that this year
they will be compelled to live up to it.
There is only one hope. and that is an
Immense Increase of lake traffic during
the next month or so. and that seems i'm
probable.
