Jet and White Stood at
End of Courtroom
With Backs to- the Jury and Hats
on for the Purpose of Show
ing That Their
HEIGHT WAS ALMOST THE SAME
And Person Viewing Them from
a Distance Gould Not

Cynthiana, Ky, Aug. EN- the
case of the commonwealth Of Ken
lucky against Jet and White, now on
trial here for killing j. B. Marcum
on May 4 last, the defense put Henry
F. Wilson, awhisky drummer of this
place, on thu witness stand to prove
the fact of a large hole in the floor of
the court house at Jackson. His tes-
timOny corroborated DR.. Taublee.
James Harigs and Ed Callahan. and
also corrOborated JOHN Abner, John
Smith, and Tom White, as to the fact
of there being trees between tie
hou ;a of Marcus and rhe rock quarry.
On cross examination he said his ex-
penses were paid to Jackson and he
was to get $40 besides.
Green Strong and James Lee, other
witnesses, were introduced to prove
the bad character and reputation of
Captain Even, and on cross exa nina
ton they were made to materially
contradict former statements. Curt
Jett and Thorn as White were recalled
on tbs stand and asked By the defense
go to the farther end Of the court
house and stand side by side with
their backs to the jury and their hats
on. This is upon the theory of the
defense that they looked much alike
and are so near the same height that
several hundred yards away they
can not be told apart.
Several witnesses have been exam
ined to impeGch Ewen's reputation
and some testified as to his lack Of
truth. Others said his reputation wa.
good. Tie majority Of them got con

WHY VOTE YES.

/ If you believe in giving each
town the right to control the liquor
traffic within its own borders.
2 If you would help the practical
temperance people of Barre, Burling-
ton and other large towns to close up
the hundreds of open saloons, vote
Yes and so put an effective measure
in their hands.
8 A No vote means a vote with and
for the dive keepers of Barre and the
saloon-keepers of the other large
towns, and vote to uphold the system
under which they now thrive and
fatten.
The great case of State VS.. AL
cohol is being tried in the high court
of public opinion, to vote no means to

If you would make alcohol give

STATEMENT OF REV. JOSEPH
TURCOT.

This is to certify that I am greatly
opposed to the licensing of men to sell
liquor and the establishing of saloons
in Vermont. I am convinced that
the present prohibitory law is much
better than any license law for the
good order and happiness of our citi-
zens, and 1 would advise, therefore,
all Catholic voters of my parish who
have the well-being of our commu-
nifty at heart to vote mo- on the
question to be submitted Tuesday
Feb. Sd.
(Signed,) j. TURCoT, Priest.

WHY VOTE NO.

1 Mr.. Aldrich says to vote Yes if
you believe in giving each town the
right to regulate the liquor traffic
within it's borders. Do we want to
bring the power of the saloon into
Vermont politics? Why should the
people of over two hundred towns of
the state have to make hard fight
each year to prevent the licensing of
saloons in their town in order that a
few of the other towns may have the
open saloon? Should Glover and
Bloomington vote Eyes" tomorrow
in order that Barton may vote eyes"
at its March meeting, and then force
the evils of the open saloon upon
Glover and Bloomington, for the eff
fects of the saloon in Barton would
extend to all of the surrounding
| towns.
2 Mr.. Aldrich would have you
vote Eyes" to help the temperance
people of Barre and Burlington. The
temperance people of these towns,
with few exceptions, are asking you
to vote "no." There are few tenn
perance people who are favorable to
license but these are in small mi
nority compared with those who are
in favor Of prohibition. The large
cities are in favor of license. Why3
Is it because they have:a large NUM-
Der of temperance people who are
breaking the prohibitory law and
they believe that license would be
preferable? No. 1t is because that
in the cities there:is larger per cent.
of those who desire liquor TO drink
and it is these Haen who are calling
for license, not tbs temperance PEG
pie.
Mr.. Aldrich states efiat a "no''
vote means vote for sid with the
dive keepers. We do not beNeve that
Mr.. Aldrich can show or that a single
instance can be shown where the
keeper of so-called "diven is nos IN
favor OF license, for these men web
know that they can conduct their
business with much less danger under
a license law.
4 To vote "no" does not mean to
"let the respondent go free'' but that
ne shall be kept within bounds, while
the yes" vote means to give him
greater liberty, liberty to destroy
our homes and our happiness.
Ii under license alcohol is obliged
