Bea,tyvirIe. Ky.--The jury in the
Hargis- Callahan trial returned a ver-
aict OF nuot guilty in short order
after one of the most desperately
fought battles in a Kentucky court
for years. Judge James Hargis and
Edward Callahan were charged with
the murder of j. b. Marcum.
Curtis Jett, who was brought here
from the Frankfort penitentiary. testi-
ded that he killed Marcum.
The verdict Of not guilty is the
elimination of a long and bitter fight
In courts in an attempt to convict
James Hargis and Ed Callahan as
chief conspirators In one Of the dark
est crimes in Kentucky history.

In May. 1908. Marcum was shot to
death from behind in the Jackson
courthouse. Curtis Jett and Tom
White were convicted and sentenced
to life Imprisonment for the murder.
II was charged that they were the
tools OF Callahan, Hargis and others.
Jett, after his conviction, confessed
that he shot Marcum and that his
act was inspired by Callahan and
Hargis. On the witness stand, how
and said he alone was responsible.
The acquittal followed largely on this
population.
A jury OF Clark county citizens re-
turned a verdict for $4,000 damages

legation that he had caused Marcum
to be killed. The suit was filed by

was the first to reveal the name of
the assassin. lie was also asked II

ground shortly after he had made

had been burned and that he had

had carried to and from his office

Hargis took a deep interest In the
trial, while Callahan, as usual. was
Iistless and gave little attention to
what was going on. Judge Dorsey
made several rulings that greatly dis
appointed the commonwealth.
Curtis Jet. the self.confessed as
sassin OF Marcum and Cockrill, came
here to testify from the Frankfort
penitentiary in the charge OF prison
guards. lie was brought here TO tell
the story OF the assassination OF Mar
cum and Of the alleged plots formed
by Hargis and Callahan to have him
murdered.
