HARGIS ACQUITTED
OF MARCUM MURDER
Jury Was Out for Only Twentv
Two Minutes.
CASE DESPERATELY FOUGHT
Verdict of Not Guilty Is elimination
of Long and Bitter Fight to Convict
Hargis and Callahan of One of Ken
tucky's Darkest Crimes.

Beattyyille, KY, July 1.-THE jury
in the Hargis-Callahan trial returned
verdict of not guilty after being out
twtnty-two minutes. The case was
one of the most desperately fought
battles in a Kentucky court for years.
The men were charged with the muir
der of J. B. Marcum.
The verdict of not guilty in the
Marcum trial is the elimination of a
long and bitter fight in courts in an
attempt to convict James Hargts and
Ed Callahan as chief conspirators in
one Of the darkest climes in Kentuc-
ky's history.
James B. Marcum was q mountain
Republican lawer of excellent stand
ing. He was engaged three years
ago as an attorney in the contest
against Uargis and Callahan respec-
lively Democratic county judge and
sheTim-elect to oust them from their
offices on an allegation of corrupt cleo
ton. Much bitterness was aroused
and frequent open ruptures occurred.
In May, 1903, Marcum was shot to
death from behind in the Jackson
court house. Curtis Jett and Tom
White were convicted and given life
terms for the murder. 1t was charg-
ed that they were the tools of Gala
han, Hargis and others. Jet, after
his conviction, confessed that he shot
Marcum and that his act was inspired
by Callahan and Hargis. On the wit
ness stand, however, he repudiated the
confession and said he alone was re-
sponsible. The acquittal followed
largely on this repudiat:on.
A jury of Clark county citizens re-
turned a verdict for $4,000 damages
year ago against Hargis, on the al
legation that he had caused Marcum
to be killed. The suit was filed by
Mrs. Marcum. Jet and White are
yet to be tried for killing James Cock
rill under similar circumstances.

Macon, Ca, July 17.-Foul play is
believed by officials of the Central Of

sible for the wreck Of freight train

A pretentious production is that of
Archibald Gunter's prince Karl"
which will be given during this week
by the Byron Douglas company at the
Columbia theatre. Though it is a
laugh from beginning to end, it is by
no means a farce, it's dramatic situa-
lions being of intense interest.
The story deals with the adventures
of Prince Karl Won Arhmien, prince Of
the German empire, a penniless noble
man, who, in the beginning of the COM
edy, to get rid of his debts, announces
that he will commit suicide. He dis
appears suddenly, and reappears in the
assumed character of his foster broth
er, accepting the position of courier to
Mrs. Florence Lowell, a rich young
widow. In the guise of the courier
Prince Karl has a number of amusing
experiences, which contribute greatly
to the interest of the play.
A Chicago lawyer comes to Germany
in search of an heir to a fortune, and
his Investigations result in the discov-
cry that the money which Mrs. Lowell
believes to be her own is really the
property Of Prince Karl. AS soon as
the latter discovers this he promptly
writes a wlIl that bequeaths the money
all back to the woman he has learned
to love and who has learned to love
him, but she discovers this fact and
learns that the bogus foster brother is
the real prince, and the piece closes
with the young couple we'll advanced
on the matrimonial road.

SP0KANE's THEATERs
"a Meseaae From Mars.n

oftentimes some Of the most con-
vincing truths are most forciDly placed
before the mind in plays presented
upon the stage. The greater the truth
the more convincing is the play. The
great comedy, "A Message from Mars, I"
with David Proctor as the star, will be
seen at Spokane in the Spokane thea
tire two nights, Friday and Saturday,
June 18th and 18th. One of the many
virtues this comedy is said to pos
sess is, that it deals with the truth.
Mark Twain claims that nothing can
be funnier than the honest truth 1t
is, as he says, SO unexpected. "A Mes
sage from Mars" has the reputation Of
being one of the most cleverly con-
structed comedies that has ever been
given to the stage. The great truth
brought out in this play is in fact a
sermon delivered in opposition to ex-
IRENE selfishness.
