jackson, KY, June 17.-With the

tai. Under these conditions the reign
or terror continues. Part OF Ewens
family have gone to Lexington and
others are arranging to become refu-
gees from their homes.
Following the action OF the grand
jury yesterday in releasing those held
for arson and the alleged attempt last
night to kill those who testified In
the arson cases, there is increas ed
anxiety as to what may happen to the
other witnesses in the murder cases
after the trial closes. 1t has been
decided that Captain Even was not
safe here even in the camp with the
soldiers, as sharpshooters might pick
him out some time when he was not
in the tent.
b. j. Even, who was reported to
have fled from camp here last night,
as well as the previous night, did not
leave until this morning. He took
the o'clock train, boarding it at a
point across the river which he reach
ed by way of the footbridge on the
Panhandle. A guard of soldiers ac-
companied him and saw him safely
aboard the train. The camp is To-
Gated on the river bank, and he did
not have to expose himself to the part
of the town controlled by the domi.

When court convened this morning
Judge B. F. French, the noted leader
of the French faction of the French
Eversole feud, who is the leading law
yer for the defense of Jett and White
began the opening argument for the
defense before Judge Redwine. He
declared that County Judge B1anton
who had said that Witness Crawford
had been arrested had lied. Judge
Blanton sprang to his feet and ap-
preached Judge French, but Elisor
Jones threw himself between the men
and Judge Re3wine finally secured
quiet in the court room. Judge Red
wine then threatened to send Judge
Blanton to Jail for contempt of court
and admonished Judge French to BE
more temperate in his language.

better that Sir George Bonham remain
at his post and protect British inter.

be transacted.
