BeattyviIle. Ky.-The jury In the

diet Of nuot guilty in short order
after one of the most desperately
fought battles in Kentucky court
for years. Judge James Hargis and
Edward Callahan were charged with
the murder of j. B. Marcum.
Curtis Jet, who was brought here
from the Frankfort penitentiary. testi-
fed that he killed Marcum.

In May. 1903. Marcum was shot to
death from behind In the Jackson
courthouse. Curtis lett and Tom
White were convicted and sentenced
to life Imprisonment for the murder.
1t was charged that they we're the
tools of Callahan, Hargis and others.
Jet, after his conviction, confessed
that he shot Marcum and that his
act was inspired by Callahan and
Hargis. On the witness stand, how
ever, he repudiated the confession
and said he alone was responsible
The acquittal followed largely on this
reputation.
