Examining Trial Concluded
Yesterday In County.
Court.
SELF DEFENSE DENIED.
Prosecution Claims Wright
Was Ambushed By Putnam
and Killed.

The examining trial of Geo. Put
man, who shot and killed Prof. Ja-
cob G. Wright in Bakers district
Nov. "a, was begun before County
Judge Breathitt Thursday. County
Attorney Duffy is assisted by Sena-
tor Frank Rives and John Byars, of
Elkton. Putnam is represented by
c. H. Bush, c. 0. Prowse and l..
Yonts.
The prosecution denies the story
of self defense and will attempt to
show that Wright and Putnam had
quarreled that day and that Putnam
hid in pig pen by the roadside and
shot him as he rode by in his buggy
about 8 o'clock, returning home
from church. That at the first shot
the mule ran off and that Putnam
followed to where Wright's gun fell
out and picking it up, fired off both
barrels. That Wright was killed by
the first shot and never used his gun
at all. Wright was shot in the breast
from the left side and his bloody
clothing was exhibited in court. DR..
w. N. Bailey testified that the wound
caused death. Mrs. j. G. Wright
stated that.her husband was drink
ing the night he was killed. Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Mccoy, the nearest
neighbors, testified that they heard
one shot and then the noise of We
hicle and horse running away and
after an interval of three or four
minutes heard two more shots at
some distance down the road. Put
mans story is that four shots were
all fired near together, at his gate.
Two different buggy tracks were
found near the gate, there being an
uninclosed lot about $50 feet wide
between the road and Putman's gate.
| Dalton Young testified that he saw
the tracks of man in the fence cor
ner By the pig pen, down by the
road side, to the right of the house,
also paper wadding from a gun in
the road and the tracks of a buggy
opposite where the mule had swerv-
ed across the road. Young said he
saw two tracks the next day in the
mud near the gate, one large and
one small. Henry Oglesby testified
that his buggy made the little track
and that man behind him in sur
rey made the larger one, that they
heard of the trouble and drove up
by the gate and seeing no one passed
out of the open lot, near the pig pen,
without seeing any one. His evil
dence was strong and accounted for
the only buggy tracks at Putman's
gate.
The defense adheres to the origin
al story as told by Putnam. He
claimed that there we're 4 shots fired
and that Wright droveup to his gate
and shot at him and that he returned
the fire, killing him and that then
the mule ran away.

TRIAL WAS POSTPONED.
Insurance Companies Will
Not Cancel Policies in
HopkinsvilIe.

The statement reproduced from
an exchange, to the effect that the
insurance policies would be Cancelled
in Western Kentucky, does not ap-
ply to this city.
With the exception Of three or
four small companies that limit their
business to certain lines, none of the
companies represented here have de-
clined to write tobacco. Some Of
the largest and strongest companies
have sent their agents here and they
have all expressed themselves as
satisfied with the steps taken to pro-
tect property in the city and no
policies will be Cancelled and they
have instructed their local agents to
continue writing risks on tobacco.
An agent of one of the leading COM
panies, who was here yesterday, said
that there would be no rule adopted
against non-association tobacco that
did not apply to association tobacco
as well. They are out for business,
and if they quit writing on tobacco
of one class the same rule will apply
to all. If the insurance companies,
by acts of violence, are driven out
of Hopkinsville, they will cancel
every dollars worth of insurance on
tobacco in the whole county. This
would be a calamity equal to whole
sale arson, as it would put the risk
on the poor planter who would often
be ruined by the loss of his crop. 1t
is not at all likely, though, that the
insurance companies will quit Hop
kinsville. as they have satisfied them
selves that the city authorities are
able to successfully resist any band
of marauders that may attack the
city in foolhardy attempt to de-
stroy property. The confidence of
the people generally is so firmly es-
tablished in the ability of the civil
and military forces to protect the
city that tobacco is being hurried
into the factories here from all di-
rections. Hopkinsville is the one
city in the district that is not filled
with fear by mob talk.
JoKED A WATCHBiAN.
John Mobley, watchman for
Tandy & Fairleigh, saw two men in
a buggy stop near the factory on
Campbell street Wednesday night
and apparently examine an alley.
He asked them what they were do
ing and they told him that crowd
of men would get him before morn
ing. and drove away. Mobley at
tached no Importance to the incident,
as the men were not disguised.

Kick That STONED . Suicide.

John Devenny, who has lost money
In mining stock, has a heap of horse
sense now, but it had to be kicked into
him, says a Pittsburg dispatch to the
New York Tribune. When he tried to
commit suicide, Bill, his old horse,
which he raised from a colt, went to
the rescue, and Devenny owes his life
to old Bill. Devenny lives near Du-
Quesne. The other day, anxious to rid
himself of his mining stock and other
troubles, he went to the barn to COM
NIT suicide He tied one end of q hal
ter rope about his neck and the other
around an overhead beam. Everything
fixed, he stepped off bushel measure
and swung out for eternity. But he
didn't quite reach it. When he swung
back he bumped the old horse 1t
startled Bill, and he registered an eff
fective kick. In fact, he kicked so
hard he put Devenny clear through the
side of the barn, at the same time
breaking the moose: Devenny's family
saw him coming and went to his as
yistance, but they give the old horse
credit for saving his life.

meet with a committee from the Lew
iston commercial club for the purpose
of working to secure joint appropria-
ton from the legislatures Of both
states to construct a free bridge across
the Snake river between the two cities.
It was the general sense of the

such action was necessary, and it is
the intention to work faithfully to the
end of providing free passage be-
tween Nez Perez and Asotin counties.
The Lewiston commercial club will
be urged to appoint committee at the
earliest opportunity so that confer
ence can be held and plans formulate
ed for presenting a bill providing for
the appropriation to both legislatures.
The free bridge movement has the
endorsement of both Governor Mead,
of Washington and Governor Gooding,
of Idaho. and both officials nave given
assurances that they would work for
if in public expression.
With such support it is believed by
the members Of the chamber OF COM

matter to secure a sum sufficient TO
build q substantial bridge.

0on.in.law Wore Speakers Trousers
and Left Money In Pocket.
Speaker Cannon is $50 richer by rea-
son Of the forgetfulness Of his son-in-
law. E. Y. LIE Seure. who. as the joke
n ON him, hasn't the courage to ask
Uncle Joe for a return Of the money,
says a Washington dispatch to the New
York Sun. Mr.. lie Seure. like his dis
tinguished father-in-law, Is banker
in Danville and makes his home ut the
Cannon residence. One day while the
speaker was away, either by accident
or design, he wore to his office a pair
Of Uncle Joe's trousers. That night at
bis club a friend paid him $50 in three
twenty dollar notes, which he careless
ly placed in one Of the hip pockets Of
his father-in-law's belonging and then
forgot all about the money. Upon Uncle
Joe's return a few days later he dom
ned the garment which Mr.. LIE Seure
had been wearing and, reaching around
into the pistol pocket, discovered the
three twenty dollar bills. He at once
suspected what had happened and at
the breakfast table accused his son-in-
law Of wearing his trousers during his
absence.
"Why. you are very much mistaken,
Mr. Cannon" exclaimed Mr.. lie Seure.
Il don't have to wear your clothes;
have several suits of my own"
"Ouite true" returned the speaker,
but l know you have been saving
yours and wearing mine while have
been away. You ought to at least ask
the privilege"
"You are certainly very much mis-
taken, and don't see why you should
accuse me Of such a thing" said the
son-in-law, beginning to be sensitive
over the matter.
"Oh, it's all right. Ernest" replied
The speaker. Il simply found $50 In
the hip pocket Of these trousers, and
l know l didn't put 1t there. But as
you say you haven't worn them sup
pose of course you didn't put 1t there.
so I'll just keep it anyway" And he
did.
Mr.. LIE Seure was in Washington re-
Gently and reluctantly admitted the
truth of the story, which Uncle Joe had
been telling with great glee.
IF 1 ever wear the speakers trou-
sers again I'll be mighty careful to re-
move all the loose change" be told his
friends.
