A SENSATIONAL development oc, ur-
ed ia the Harg son Circuit Court on
last Tuesday, when A G. Adams, one
Of Curtis Jetts' alibi witnesses plead
ed guilty to perjury, for which he was
sentenced tc one years confinement
in the peuitenJiary. The horrible
murder of j. b Marcum is still fresh
in the minds Of all, and Adams con-
fession only strengthens the belief
that Jett killed Marcum at the COM
mand OF men powerful in Breathitt
county affair. and this same pow r
procured albi witnesses for the trial.
In tni confession, Adams made known
some Of the dirty work that had been
done in Breathitt. He swOre falsely
because he was in the hands OF the
maintain murderers He was forced
under threats of drath TO swear that
Jrtt had not killed Marcum, when in
truth he was the man who did the dir
ceed. but was i"flu.nced to do so
by allahan and others, referring to
Jim H4rgis and B. F. French. It. is the
belief that Adams told the truth in his
staten nts. He was only a poor
school teacher Of Perry County, and
it was only when his life was at stake
thai he accepted the brides Of the
blood thirsty gang of Breathitt In
dio,ments nave already been made
against Callahan and French for sub
or alton OF perjury. 1t is the belief
that the whole gang Of bribers, perP'-
tratos AID worse than assassins, will
be brought to justice in short time.
