dicted. certain county officials attempted
to have Coldiron indicted for perjury.
The friends of Coldiron wanted him to
leave the county after he had testified, but
he insisted last night on visiting his sister,

whom he had testified. 1t Is stated that
b. j. Even and Riley Coldiron are the only
ones who dared to testify as to what they
knew, and Even gets out of Breathitt
