lett CONFESSED HIS GUILT.
Sister of MarCum Testifies that
lett Told Her He Fired
The Shot.
The Shot.

Jackson, KY, June 10.-The third
day OF the trial OF Curtis Jett and
Thomas White for the murder OF
Attorney j. B. Marcum was distin-
guished by the evidence ofB. l.. Even
the first and leading witness OF the
commonwealth. The prosecution is
attempting to prove that White en-
tered the court house while Marcum
and Even were standing together
and that as he passed through he
gave a signal for Jett to fire. Even
testified to seeing White just before
and after Marcum was shot, and to
seeing Jett Just after Marcum was
carried out of the court house. Even
denied each allegation. Even
said he had never told Sheriff Ed
Callahan and county Judge Hargis
what he had seen when Marcum was
killed, because he feared to do so.
In his address this morning the
commemorative attorney, Byrd,
said it would be proved that Jett
admitted to Mrs. johnson that he
had killed Marcum.
In the evidence this morning it was
stated that Jett and White we're seen
talking to Mrs Johnson on the bridge.
Mrs. johnson tonight confirms what
Byrd said would be her testimony,
adding that she feared to tell this
earlier, believing that she would be
assassinated.
"As was returning home shortly
after the killing" she said, 81 was
overtaken by Jett. He spoke to me
and said, 'Jett, did you kill my
brothel?' He replied, Ibid, but Har.
gis' money made me do it,
He said he was going to leave the
country. Then Tom White came up
and asked him if he had anything
to do with the murder, and he said
he was there, but he did not fire the
shot,"

Trouble at Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, June 10.-H the artisans
who are employed in the construc
ton OF the worlds fair buildings
carry out their threatened strike,
the chances are that the opening OF
the exposition will be considerably
delayed. The men who are employed
in stringing electric wires demand an
extra dollar a day. They are now
receiving 81 a day, and that seems,
in the eyes OF the management, suffi-
Gent for the work.
The dissatisfaction has caused a
general demand for an increase. but
it is the present determination OF the
management to fight the issue with
the building trades council.
