DECISION IN
HARC|S CASE
is EXPECTED FROM THE FAY.
ETTE COUNTY COURT.
Men Charged With Completely In
Cockrell Murder viii Be Tried
in Lexington.

Frankfort, KY, March 9.-The court
of appeals, will, it is said, hand down
a decision tomorrow holding that
Fayette county has jurisdiction in the
cases of Alexander and James Hargis
and others charged with completely in
the murder of Tom Cockrell, and that
they will be tried In Lexington. This
action marks the turning point in one
of the most remarkable cases in Ken
lucky history, and the general impress
sion is that several hangings will be
the result. Tom Cockrell was shot in
Breathitt county, where the Hargises
lived and the wounded man died in
Lexington. The question was of jur-
isdiction.
The Hargises are power in Breat-
hitt county and have always run
things pretty much as they pleased
there. At recent hearing Alexander
Hargiss testified that the Hargises
had had themselves arrested and put
under bond in Breathitt county to
keep from being arrested on charge
of completely in Fayette county. He
said also that they had also enemies"
in Fayette county who would take
pleasure in convicting them.
1t had all along been the belief
that the Hargises would never be
convicted in Breathitt county, as their
wealth and power precluded convic-
tion, but that in Fayette county,
where their power would not be felt,
conviction would be certain. Alex
Hargis is a state senator and his
brother, Judge James Hargis is a
member of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee. They are the most in
fiuential men in the mountain region.
Moses Feltner and Samuel Fields
are in the jail at Winchester held as
witnesses in the case and also in con-
tempt of court
The circuir judge of Breathitt coun-
ty ordered them brought to that coun-
ty to testify in the Hargis case which
was up yesterday but the circuit Judge
of Clark county refused to give them
up till they had been purged of con-
tempt. The jaller of Clark county was
in bad box over the matter, as one
judge had ordered him to move his
prisoners, while another ordered him
to keep hands off Today about the
time the iailer was getting a tempor-
ary order frcm the court of appeals
restraining the Judge of Breathitt
county from Furnishing him for con-,
tempt of court, the Judge was fining'
him $500 on that charge.

CONTROVERSY OVER EXTRAS
AND BALANCE ON MA.
CHINERY. NJ

The West Penn Foundry & Ma.
chine company has brought an action
in common pleas court against the
United Steel Co. and John e. Carna-
han to get judgment for $11,307 and
have the same made lien upon the
property of the defendant company
in this city.
The claim grows out of the sup
plying of heavy machinery and equip
ment for. the steel plant. The peti.
ton alleges that the original con-
tract called for $35,OOO and that when
the work was being done certain
changes were required that run the
cost up to S40,571. 1t is admitted
that $29,795 has been paid. but there
is dispute over the balance, and
especially the extras. AS an agree
ment cannot be reached. the West
Penn company has brought suit. At
torney G. C. Bow is counsel for the
plaintiff.

Judge Wing, of counsel for Mrs. Chad
wick, made the motion that the case

fendant discharged. The presiding
judge ordered the jury dismissed un-
til Friday and then announced that
he would hear the arguments on
Judge Wings motion.
In opening Judge Wing declared
that IL the indictment were allowed

only an official of a bank could do.
If she could not certify a check, he
urged, then she could not be tried
for conspiracy to have one certified.
District Attorney Sullivan, on be-
half of the government opposed the
motion. He declared that under the
law person could easily be indicted
for such conspiracy as was alleged
in this case, and insisted that under
numerous decisions of the courts a
person could be tried and convicted
for conspiracy to do an act that they
