''To make long story short, the crea

The thing first passed my neck, and as |

the fish could attack again I was hauled

Accuses Judgegof Part in Murder

LEXINGTON. KY, May 11.-When
court convened this morning the common
wealth began its statement OF the case
against Judge James Hargis, charging that
he conspired with Others to murder james
Cockrill and that he accompanied to ana
placed in the courthouse three men-John
Smith. John Abner and Curtis Jett-armed
with guns furnished from his store for the
purpose of killing Cockrill, and that he
furnished provisions and drink for the al
legged assassins while they were waiting for
Cockrill to appear on the street.
The fate of Judge Hargis, the political
and feud leader of the mountains, in his
second trial for alleged completely in the
assassination of Coekrill, at Jackson, will
rest with jury composed of l men from
Scott county and one from Fayette county.
The jury was completed last evening. The
jury has the peculiar feature of having two
fathers and two sons to sit in the same case.
Attorney Jeutt pictured Judge Gargis
as the most desperate character in the
mountains as a plotter against the lives OF
men. He said it would be shown by
sworn testimony that three men-Cockrlll,
J. NJ. Marcum and DR.. Cox--paid the
penalty as the result of conspiracy formed
by Hargis and Sheriff Ed Callahan. He
said it would be proven that Hargis told
Sewell Taulbe, present county judge OF
Breathitt, that Cockrill should be killed.
While he would not commit the act himself,
he would engage lawyers to defend the
men who would kill him.
He said it would be shown that from
the very day the prosecution of Curt Jet
and Bill Britton began Hargis had full
filled that promise. He said it would be
shown that five days after the killing Har-
gis said he was glad Cockrill was killed,
and that he would take no steps as county
judge to bring about the arrest of his
murderers
Attorney Jeutt was followed by Judge
J. r. Morton, who made the opening
statement for the defense Judge Morton
styled the trial as persecution of Hargis
by the relatives of Cockrill and other men
who were killed

Shark Kills Bather

W. H. Hutchinson, civil engineer, was
killed by shark while bathing with his
family at Moeraki, North Otagio, last
month, writes our Dunedin correspondent.
He was standing up in the sea for his
son, boy of II, to dive off his shoulder
The boy suddenly felt his fathers body
give way. On recovering he saw COM
motion in the water and observed that his
father was struggling with some object,
which he could not distinguish. He SWAN
to his assistance, and some progress was
made toward the beach, when Mr..
Hutchinson commenced to collapse.
Mrs. Hutchinson had by this time no.
ticed something was wrong, and, seeing
the water crimson with blood, rushed in
and assisted her husband to reach the
shore, but he expired almost at once from
loss of blood and shock. A subsequent
examination showed he must have been at
tackled by shark, the calf of his right
leg from the knee downward being COM
pletely torn away, leaving the remaining
flesh torn and lacerated and the bone com
pletely exposed
