his face, and his body shaken with
emotion, A. G. Adams Tuesday plead
ed guilty to having perjured himself in

he told story of intimidation and SUI
formation that involved prominent men
and may result in arrests of persons of
wealth and influence. He said that he

family would be killed. Adams had
testified that he had seen Jet in Hargis'
store the morning Marcua was shot

sentencing the prisoner to one year in
the penitentiary. 1t is said that indict-
ments will be reported against some Of
