Judge Redwine Divided His Time Be
tween Mnrder and Arson Cases.
jackson, KY. Tune 17.-Judge Red
wine Monday divided his time between
the~nslrder and arson cases. Early in
the morning, before court Convened,
he heard habeas corpus cases of Craw-
ANA Ynarps and afterward, at different
times. excused the trial jury while he
gave Instructions to the grand jury.
The defense opened with a statement
that il would prove an alibi, and in
troduced both Curtis Jet and Tom
White on the witness stand in their
own behalf to testify that they did not
enter the court house until after J. B.
Marcum, the attorney for the contest
ants for county offices, had been shot
down. Both prisoners made exception
ally good witnesses for themselves.
Jett was especially cool and confident,
and apparently unconcerned. The
mothers of both defendants heard their
testimony, and Miss Sarah Hargis,
daughter of the county judge, and
leader of the dominant faction, was, an
interested listener. 49,
Crawford and Tharp were brought
before Judge Redwine, and testimony
heard on the writ of habeas corpus got
out for their release by the Hargis peo-
pie.
Judge Redwine decided to hold them
to the grand jury, which has been uni
versal.
Thomas White testified in his own be-
half, and also for Jet. He said when
the shots were fired he was one-third
of the way across the street. He look
ed back and saw Marcum fall and
Even run away. He saw figure back
in the hallway, but did not know who
the man was. He, had come to town
that Saturday in quest of work. The
cross-examination brought out the fact
that the only man from whom he had
asked work was Hargis. =
