Conspiracy to Kill Marcum May
Develop.
Some of the Evidence Is Now Drifting
Towards Conspir-
NEWSPAPER MEN AT JACKSON

Jackson, KY, June ban unusu.
al number Of correspondents have ar
rived here including magazine writers
and artists for illustrated papers. They
will now find a quiet town. Provost
Marshal Longmire has made no arrests
for two nights and two days. Since
he closed the "blind tigers" there has
been no shooting during the night.
The free use Of weapons in the carous-
ais around these places led to reports
at times OF bands of feudists coming
into town to attack the jail. When
court had 10 take the neon recess to-
day earlier than usual because the
next witness was unable to get on the
witness stand, II was evident that Ii
quor IL still available from son Q
source.
The feature of the trial now is the
drift Of evidence toward conspiracy
duplicating county officials and others
md tending to show that Jett and
White had no such motives as che con-
spirators, but were simply hired to
kill ]. b. Maroum, who was the attor-
ney for parties contesting the election
OF county officials. The defense yes
terday attempted TO have the case con-
tinued on account of the absence of
witnesses. and again on account Of ILL
ness Of one of the attorneys for the
defense. In both instances Judge Red
wine ordered the trial to proceed.
Upon the opening OF court yesterday
Attorney o'Neal for the defense filed
motion asking that the case be con-
tinued on the ground that the defense
needed absent witnesses Felt
ner, John Smith and John Abner--to
contradict the evidence OF Mrs. Mary
johnson, a sister Of the dead man.
Judge Redwine decided that the trial
should proceed.
The first witness, william Hearst,
was questioned regarding a plot to as
sassinate Marcum in which two ooun.
tv officials were implicated, William
Eversole and other witnesses were ex-
amiDed as to the alleged conspiracy.
Abner, Smith and Feltner are said
to have been in the plot to sssassinate
Marcum. Abner afterwards made
affidavit that he k ept Marcum inform
ed. He gave Maroum an affidavit,
which was filed in court. stating the
plots were formed BY and in the office
of Judge Hargis. and that Judge Har-
eis and Sheriff Ed Callahan were fur
nishing the money. Mrs. johnson
testified also to this information being
furnished her brother by Feltner. The
defense claims these men are badly
needed. They are supposed to be in
Perry county.

ator Depew, on Tuesday, according to
the Yonkers Statesman. Mr.. Depew
was driving from the Croton railroad
station to Palmers Hotel. AS he passed
along the highway he saw the school
house, and looked to see If the flag
was flying. The emblem was waving
in the breeze, but Mr.. Depew noticed
that the Stars and Staripes were upside
down. The Senator climbed up the hill
to the school house. The children were
at their studies. Miss Regan came to
the door. my dear Miss, please ex-

couldn't help it. THE halyards were
broken, and We couldn't hoist it right

at all, the boys put it wrong side up"
Mr.. Depew called Miss Regain a brave
American girl, and said that she had
the right spirit. Then he made n
speech to the children, telling them Of
the Importance of patriotism and the
significance of the flag.
