FIRST FEUD CONVICTION.
JETT -AND WHITE GUILTY.
Life Penalty for Killing j. B..
Marcum an Hargis-CockriU Feud.

Cynthiania Ky. Aug. 1.-THE jury in the case
of Curtis Jett and Thomas White, this morning
returned a verdict finding them guilty of the
assassination of James B. Marcum at Jack
son, KY. The punishment of each was fixed at
life Imprisonment. The verdict was returned
at time when there were few persons IN the
courtroom The only attorney present was
County Attorney Webster. Jett heard the YER
dict with comparative indifference and calm
ness, but White who has been under severe
strain during the trial. much affected and
his eyes filled with tears The verdict occa-
stoned little surprise The only question that
caused the delay it is said, whether to
make the punishment death or life imprison-
ment.
Messrs. Blanton ana Golden, attorneys for
the defence, were absent when the jury came
into court. and Judge Osborne sent for them
and told them to make their motion for new
trial. The motion was thereupon hled' ana the
court took it under advisement.
When it was announced that the jury had
come out crowd gathered at the courtroom.
but it was quiet and orderly, all the mountain
men having gone to their homes. Mr.. Byrd'
who prosecuted the prisoners, said that he was
disappointed as he had hoped for verdict
fixing the death penalty. D. A. Hurst, father
in-law of Marcum, said that they might as Wen
have tried the men in Breathitt County as here.
The case has been trial almost three weeks
having been begun on July q. At the first trial.
at Jackson the jury disagreed and it is believed
that the verdict to-day was compromise with
a juror opposed to capital punishment. Ihe
friends of Captain E. J. Even and other Wit
nesses for the commonwealth. who have suf-
fered greatly and were living in fear OF their
lives, are greatly relieved
There have been twenty-seven lives lost IN the
last two years in the Hargis-Cockrill teud IN
2~ea+hit+ County and this is the first conviction.
No arrests or indictments had been made until
last May. when the troops were ordered TO
Jackson to protect the grand jury and after

MOB LAW Is ANARCHY.
JUSTICE LORE'S ADDRESS.
Delascare Courts UpheM-Lynching
of George White Condemned.
TBx TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.I

chautauqua, n. Y. Aug. 1.-THE address OF
Chief Justice Charles Z. Lore. of the Supreme
Court of Delaware, made strong impression on
the thousands who gathered to hear him to-day
on THE Mob and the Law.
The address was calm and judicial in tone,
incisive and strong in statements, impartially
severe on the recent brutal lynching of George
White III his own city of Wilmington. and COM
pleted the rout of the lynching supporters who
for several days have been on the run.
The indignation among many Southerners has
steadily grown at John Temple Graves's misrep-
resentation of the South in his recent address.
and Chief Justice Lore, Southern man, of
whom some expected sympathy with Mr..
Graves's sentiments took the out of the
latter's civic heresy.
The mob conference, which ends tomorrow
with Justice Woodward's address. has been one
of the most remarkable interesting and in
structive conferences Of the season. Chautau-
qua has made the first movement formally to
consider the pressing question Of lynchings and
mobs.
