Enormous Sums Paid for Pensions
sumption

Since the Civil War the Government of
the United States has paid So. rS2, 769, oIS
for pensions to its soldiers. Previous to
that time, from July I, 1890 to June 80,
1865, the total expenditures for that pur-
pose were $96,44S,444, making total OF
So, 279, 2I4,462 since the beginning of the
government.
Of this total 100000 was paid OH
account of the war of the Revolution;
&S, oco,o 600 on account of the war OF
1872; s., 600, 600 on account of the Indian
wars; $4,000, 900 on account of the Mex
lean war; S., 900 ON account of the
war with Spain; s. 100000 on account o.
the regular army, and the balance, more
thar $4,000, COZ on account of tn,
war of the rebellion.
This total does not include nearly 90,
ooo, 900 acres of land given as bounte
nor the sums that have been spent fo
the establishment and maintenance o
the soldiers homes.
The average value of a pension is nov
SI34.o4 year. More than half of The
pensions paid are $40 per month and un

government in his old age.

A. P. BYRD
Declares That The COnrt House Of
Breathitt is Temple of linus
tice and a Clearing HOuse
for Assassination.

At Winchester on Tuesday of last
week A. f. Byrd, council for Mrs. Mar
cum in her damage suit spoke for seven
hours, pictured the man standing in the
court house door at Jackson when the
deadly bullet from an assassin's revolver
stilled his voice forever. The building,
said Mr.. Byrd, where Marcum was so
foully murdered, was built to be used as
temple of justice. bnt since the defen-
dants had come into political power in
that county, it had been used as TEN
pie of injustice and clearing house for
assassination. The speaker painted a
picture for the jury showing the man
standing in the front door OF. that build
ing on that Hateful morning, while on the
opposite side of the street in what the
speaker desinated as Fort Hargis," a
council was held in which it was decided
that the last day on earth for J. B. Mar
cum had arrived and that while Curtis
lett and Tom White went forth to per-
form the duties for which, he said, they
had been engaged, James Hargis and Ed.
Callahan, one the County Judge, and the
other the Sheriff, stood just within and
anxiously listened for the crack of the
revolver of one or both of the assissins
that would make the man they so bitterly
hated "bte the dust"
"The people may ask said Mr.. Byrd
why some criminal action is not taken
against these defendants in Breathitt
county, but that can easily be answered
by reference to their own statements that
they control the courts and state officials,
and by that boast defy any action against
them"
Mr. Byrd said that when J. b. Mar
cum was shot down in the court house
door at Jackson, he Byrd, had the for
tune or misfortune, he did not know
which, to be Commonwealth Attorney
of the judicial districr of which Jackson
anu Dreatnitt country was part. he
said that when he first began legal in.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1905-01-11

vestigation of that murder, every means
had been used by these defendants to de-
feat him in his duty and to keep the law
from dealing out justice to the men who,
he said, had acted as their agents in the
assassination of ]. B. Marcum.
"The defendant, Jim Hargis, comes
before the jury" said Mr. Byrd, "and
boasts of the fact that he is County
Judge Of his County, and member of
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee from his district, and in every way
that was possible has injected politics in
this case for the purpose of showing that
he has the confidence of the people
oi his patty tsiTo;i tt.c State. Dat
the very fact, said the speaker, that he
is a member of the Democratic State
Central Committee, he though shame
on that body.
Believe the testimony of the defen-
dants said Mr.. Byrd and they are en-
titled to be called Judge Hargis, Senator
Hargis, Judge French and Sheriff Gala
han, but believe the evidence that has
been produced by the plaintiffs in the
case with "the witnesses who were not
enticed away" and they may be called
conspirators.
His bitter arraignment of James and
Alex Hargis, Ed. Callahan and B. F..
French, the four defendants in the Mar
cum damage suit, was by many believed
to be more severe than was his speech
to the jury which convicted Curtis Jett
and Tom White for the assassination Of

Witnesses Taken TO Indian Fields
by a Mt. Sterling Man.

We clip the following from the Lexing-
ton Leader of January 4:
Passengers arriving last night from
Jackson brought the report that Nose
Feliuer and Sam Fields, the two witnesses
which The plaintiff in the Marcum damn
age suit alleged were enticed away by the
defendants to prevent them from giving
their testimony III the case, had returned
to the mountains of Eastern Kentucky
and were now on the way to their homes
in Leslie county.
The men, it is said, boarded the east
bound L. &, Z train at Indian Fields
having come from Cincinnati OH the L.
& N. to a point between Winchester and
Richmond, from which place they were
met by Charles Wilson, son-in-law OF
Jailer Spencer, of Jackson, and driven to
Indian Fields. The two witnesses we've
still accompanied by Felix Feltner, who
has been with them since the night they
left Winchester.
