The DRAMA AT
JACKSON, KY
Motion to Instruct the Jury to Ac-
quit White Was Overruled
To-day.

q jackson, KY, June 13.-The trials Of
Jett and White, charged with the assas-
sination of Attorney James B. Marcum,
were resumed to-day before Judge Red
win. Commonwealth Attorney Byrd
stated that the detail sent out last night
to arrest Henry Freeman, much wanted
witness, had returned without the man.
Lieutenant Cannard and Deputy Whitta-
ker, sent by the commonwealth, say that
Goodloe Combs went along on the orders
of Judge RedWine and, to the surprise Of
the soldiers, when within a hundred
yards Of Freeman's house he ran ahead
and fired two shots. He claimed that he
saw something in the road. When the
soldiers arrived at Freeman's house, he
was not there. Evidently Freeman had
run away when he heard the shots, as
some garments had been left behind and
his imprint in the bed was fresh.
The anti-Hargis people say that Free
man is an important witness and they
feel that he has been hired to remain
away. Mr.. Byrd said he would have to
close the case without Freeman and sub
united the case Of the commonwealth
Attorney O'Neil for the defense moved
for peremptory instructions Diminishing
the defendants. Judge Redwine excused
the jury and heard arguments on the
motion.
Attorney Golden made lengthy ad-
III SSS dlu Ills vigorous IldilIleT showed
no effects Of the illness on which he
asked for a continuance yesterday.
Thomas Marcum took his first promin-
ent hand in the case by replying to the
motion. His reply was strong and in
tensely dramatic.
The motion to instruct the jury to &C
quit White was overruled. White heard
the argument with tears in his eyes, He
was extremely nervous.
The defense then asked till Monday
to prepare their case and get their wit
nesses together. Judge Redwine thought
that an unnecessary delay and gave them
till 2 p. m. only.

she had indigestion and altho we did our

was peevish and would not even try to

and seemed to be in much pain.
"As we had buried three children be-

this little girl wasting away. When she
was two years old she had q terrible sick
spell and we were very much alarmed.
The doctor said she had summer COM
plant and indigestion and told us to use
Grape Nuts After we had given her two
meals of this food her bowels were
checked and In a short time she was
completely well and strong again.
"Then we noticed how her mind, too,
began to improve. She had never talked
before, but now she frightened up and
understood things that were said to her.
She laughs all the time instead Of cry

An excellent way to prepare for very
young babies Is to take one and one-half

with pint of cold water. Let 1t stand
for half an hour, strain, and set aside.
When ready to use, take IL teaspoonfuls
Of the strained Grape-Nuts juice and s

Europe would follow, and hence by her in
struct1ons the minister Of foreign affairs
at Belgrade entered into negotiations with
the Russian government, proposing that
II the Emperor and Empress Of Russia
would receive the king and queen of Ser
via and entertain them at the imperial
palace at st. Petersburg, King Alexander
would nominate as his successor on the
Servian throne Prince Mirko, son of Prince
Nicolas of Montenegro and brother Of Hell
ena, Queen of Italy.
But all this planning and negotiating
came to naught, simply because Alix, the
pure and beautiful Empress of Russia, alb
solutely declined to- receive the queen Of
Serv1a or have anything whatever to do
with her. Count Lamsdorff, the Russian
minister Of foreign relations, suggested
that no harm could be done, and the OBJ
ject of Russia might be accomplished, if
the czarina would receive Queen Draga
and her husband informally at her summer
palace on the shores of the Black sea. No
ceremony was necessary. The czarina
would not be called upon to show them
any attention. but simply to preside at the
table at which the king and queen Of Ser
via would be received with other guests.
But Alix refused to consent to any such
arrangement, and declared that if the Ser
Wan woman was invited to Russia she
would make 1T convenient to leave ths
country for the time being.
