Jett's Confession.

The full text of the confession by
Curtis Jett of his participation in
Breathitt assassinations was given out
Tuesday night for publication and is an
extraordinary utterance. 1t duplicates
James Hargis as chief conspirator in
the murder of James Cockrell, James
B. Marcum and DR.. B. D. Cox, and
goes into detail, giving names of con-
spirators, dates and places of action.
Jett admitted that he fired the shots
into Cockrill's body. He implicates
Ebert Hargis, John Abner, John Smith,
Jesse Spicer, Bill Britton and others,
but says he did not participate in the
murder of LCox. He declares Alex
Hargis is an innocent man" and that
he knows nothing of any connection B.
F. French had with any of the plots
except in the capacity of attorney af-
ter the arrests.
1t is an extraordinary statement and
reads like a romance in crime. Jack
son is all excitement.
