Cythiana, KY, Sept. 1s.-In the trial of
Curtis Jett today for killing Town Mar
shall Thomas Cockrill, eleven witnesses
testified that they heard the shots fired
and Immediately afterward saw Jet come
out of the court house, thus corroborating
the six of yesterday. Harrison Blanton
said he heard Jett say:
''This is the forty-ffth that laid low
and I'll visit my kinfolks."
Seven witnesses testified for the Com
monwealth this afternoon. All of them
corroborated other witnesses who have
testified. The most sensational feature of
the afternoon was the testimony of J. B.
Little, who said he saw Cockrill running
at the time of the shooting and afterward
Jett appeared in front of the court house.
He heard Jett say week before the as
sassination in the house of Mrs. Sam Mans
that he would kill Cockrill on sight.
The Commonwealth rested tonight and
the defense will commence its case to-
morrow.

'rwoN'r DO, SAYS UNCLE SAM
Through His Minister He Lays Down the Law
to San Domingo
(By the Associated Press.)

san Domingo, Republic of San Domingo,
Sept. 1S.-United States Minister Powell
has sent strong protest to the Dominl
can government based on the following
grounds
That the action of the Dominican gov
eminent in sending to Congress a pro-
ject for establishing the neutrality of
Dominican waters and making certain
ports free, would, in view of the fact that
Santo Domingo is a neighboring State,
not be accepted in a friendly spirit by the
government of the United States.
That the United States government
would not allow the establishment of any
ccaling ports in Santo Domingo or the
cession of any portion of Santo Domingo
territory to any European power.
That the United States will not permit
any nation to make exclusive use of
Dominican waters in time of peace, much
less III time of war. Nor could the Uni
ted States allow any portion of Dominican
territory to be classed as neutral. nor
permit any section of the country to con
fict with the concession granted to the
Clyde Line.
The American protest has excited con-
siderable comment.
