A NIGHT oP TERROR
JETT ADHERENTs APPLY TORCH
AND CAUSE ANXIETY.
Scene of Kentucky Murder Trial Hot
bed Of Plots and
Feuds.

JACKSON, KY, June 15.-Interest in the
trial of Curtis Jett and Thomas White for
the alleged murder of j.. B. Marcum was
secondary today to the preliminary hearing
of the teamsters of Hargis Brothers, ar
rested by the soldiers on the charge of
burning the hotel yesterday morning of B.
L. Even, the principal witness of the COM
monwealth against Jett and White.
Although this place has become accustom-
ed to assassinations and incendiary fires
during the feud of the past three years, it
never had such a night of terror as that
of last night
Many spent sleepless night, not as
members of any vigilance committee patrol
ling the streets. but within their own doors,
as many are expecting the torch to be ap-
piled to their houses next. Fourteen resi-
dences and stores owned by those known as
Cardwell- -Cockrill sympathiZers have been
burned in jackson since 1900 and the num-
Der of lives lost greatly exceeds that num-
ber.
Arrests for Arson.
Joe Crawford and Ed Thorp were brought
before Judge Redw!ne this morning and
testimony was heard on the writ of habeas
corpus sued out for their release by the
Hargis people yesterday Gray Haddicks
and Jerry Lunsford identified Crawford as
one Of the men seen coming from the Even
Hotel just before the fire was discovered,
and A. H. Short said he saw Crawford and
Thorp crossing the bridge going in the di-
rection Of the Even Hotel an hour before
the fire.
The prisoners told conflicting stories of
their whereabouts. Judge Harris and the
attorneys he employed to defend Jett and
White, represented the prisoners Judge
Redwine decided to hold them to the grand
jury, which was reconvened this morning.
After the habeas corpus proceedings were
disposed Of the trials of Jett and White for
the assassination of Marcum were called.
There was much excitement about the
court house and those entering the court
room were not only searched but also close
ly watched.
