"ro THIS CONDITION"
Ex-Mayor- Ames' Lawyers Plead Paresis
for His "Grafting" Acts While
In Oficia1 Position.

Minneapolis, May 5.-After the
state had rested in the case against
ex-Mayor Ames the defense secured
an adjournment until afternoon and
the attorneys Immediately went into
earnest consultation as to the course
to be pursued. 1t was finally deter
mined to plead incipient pasesis and in
sanity. This course had already been
foreshadowed by the failure of the de-
fense toput the state witnesses through
rigorous cross-eXamination and to
make any effort to break down the
states case. The defense will now
tacitly admit the truth of the story
pieced together by the state and will
claim that DR.. Ames was irresponsi-
ble
The aforesaid story is that Ames,
while mayor, received money from wo-
men who kept houses of prostitution,
the payment Of money being the con-
sideration of these women's business
being unmolested by the city officials

Question Is Whether Herreshoff Reached
His Limit When He Built the sham
rock irs yanquishsr.

Glencove, l.. l., May 6. 1t re-
quired just twenty minutes for the
peerless cup defender Columbia to
demonstrate that in a light wind and
beating to windward she is better
boat than the new Herreshoff cup
yacht Reliance. Starting from a TO
sitiOn to leeward, and slightly astern
of the Reliance the Columbia sailed
through the new boats lee. tacked
across her bow, and in the next leg
of a mile and half increased her lead
to nearly a quarter of a mile. The
Reliance then withdrew.
When the Columbia went through
her lee the Relianceekept off and vol
unfairly gave up the advantage of her
windward position. but she was none
the less decisively and emphatically
Out-sailed. This was tie first brush
between the rivals The sea was as
smooth as pond and both boats car
ried mainsail, staysail, working jib
and small club topsail. At the start of
the race the Reliance was a little
ahead, and to windward of Columbia.

Conduetos Prevents . Meeting That Might
Have eliminated = Fsudiss.
By locking Tom Cockrell in the ne
gro compartment of the smoking car
the conductor Of the Louisville and
Nashville east-bound train prevented
a meeting between the sole survivor
of the Cockrells. a young man not far
in his 20's, and Alex Hargis. C0ckrell
killed Ben Hargis about one year ago.
when the Hargis-Cockrell feud was es-
peciaIly bitte-, and James Cockrell, the
town marshal, who was assassinated
from the court house at Jackson last
July, was his brother. Hargis is one
of the three surviving brothers who
give name To one of the factions.
He boarded the train at Winchester,
bound for Jackson, where the assas-
sination of Marcum had reopened the
feud. Cockrell, who is voluntary
exile from Breathitt county, boarded
the train at Redwood, climbing on the
front steps Of the forward car.
In his hand he carried 44-caliber
Colts revolver. Realizing instantly
that a meeting would probably mean
tragedy the conductor locked Cock
rell in the negro compartment at
Walker creek, a small flag station.
Cockrell sprang from the window Of
this coach, ieaped behind the station
and secured rest for his pistol. cover
ing the line Of windows In the coaches.
Hargis was not in sight as the train
passed on. Whether Cockrell intend
ed to be the aggressor or in the de-
fensive In his actions cannot be stated.
Wood G. Dunlap, Of this city, has
left for Jackson, as attorney for the
Fusionists in the Breathitt county con-
tested election cases. He succeeds Mar
cum as counsel. 1t is feared here that
the proceedings at this time win pre-
cipitate further trouble.

DAsrARD SHOTS RING our


Fired from Bebisd Their. Mark Who Ealls
sDying Man.
The men had been talking about
three minutes, and It was $50 a. m.
when shot rang out In the rear of
the corridor, behind Marcum. who
staggered, and as he sank to the floor
another shot was fired. The first bull
let entered the back to the right Of the
spinal column, and passing straight
through the breast and body struck the
door facing him. The next shot passed
through the top Of his head, and was
aimed as he reeled. The shots appeared
to come from a doorway, or possibly
from behind door, in the corridor:
but as the passage was quickly cleared
amid great cnfusion no one seemed
able to state accurately where the as
sassin was located.
A telegram from County Judge Har-
ris states that the assassin is still un-
known, after diligent search, and no
arrests have as yet been made, even on
suspicion. MarcumS body lay for ten
mil .utes untouched. Even his friends
feared to approach the place. Men
feared TO touch the body. 1t was final
ly picked up by friends and carried to
a drug store opposite, and from there
taken home. Some say they saw the
assassin run out Of the rear door, and
1t seems certain that he made his es-
cape that way during the confusion 1t
is generally believed that the assassin
was recognized by some people, but no
one has thus far had the courage to
name the man.
Marcum was q trustee of the Ken
tucky State college, United States COM
missioner Of his district, and represent
ed the Lexington and Eastern railroad,
and other large corporations. He had
practiced law In Breathitt county for
seventeen years. He had avoided
feuds. and until he took charge Of the
election cases which involved the Har-
gis faction had been a friend OF men,
bers of both factions. For rtf1reemonths.
beginning last July, he did not leave
his home. and after that for months
was always accompanied by his wife
and women friends, or carried one Of
his children with him for protection.
