Sensational Testimony Brought Out in
Kentucky Murder Trial.

Kentucky Murder Trial.
Louisville, KY, Feb. s.-The most
sensational development Of the litiga-
tion over the Breathitt county feud
cases came out yesterday in the dispo-
sition Of Moses Feltner, a witness, Who
left Kentucky after having been sub.
poenaed in the 100000 damage suit Of
Mrs. Arabella Marcum against Judge
James Hargis and Others, in connection
with the killing of j. b. Nlarcum, says
a Post special from Winchester, Ky,
Fetner's statement Is to the effect
that he accepted from B. II. French,
attorney for the defense, $1,000 to leave
Winchester without testifying, French
saying that Feltner, if he did not go,
would be hanged for the murder Of
Jesse Fields, committed some time ago
in Breathitt county.
French then gave Feltner more money,
the deposition says, and after spending
some time in various Ohio towns, and
indianapolis, Feltner says he returned
to Kentucky and gave himself up as a
witness.
Feltner sas he left Winchester on
Dec. 6, the night before the taking Of
testimony began in the Marcum. Hargis
trial, because he believed that if he told
Of his knowledge Of the plots to kill
James Marcum he would be subsequent
ly killed. He told of plot when
he, John Smith, John Abner and Tom
White hid in rocky quarry that had
been selected as good place to assassi-
nate Marcum. He also told Of Tom
White refusing to shoot Marcmn from
the court house because Marcum had his
baby in his arms.
Witness left jackson for his home in
Leslie county in June, 1902, and said
b. II French same to the home Of the
witness in Leslie county two or three
weeks later and told witness that the
Hargises would have to have Marcum
killed and wanted Feltner to do it. He
said French told him Marcum was to
be killed either from the court house
Of from the college building, and French
wanted Feltner to take charge Of one
Of the firing squads 70 this Feltner
agreed but instead he went to where
Marcum was, near Hazard, and told Of
the plot.
