Lexington. ~, Jan. 10. - Judge
Carnes. who is trying James Hargis,
Ed callahan, John Smith and John
Abner, for the assassination of DR.. B.
ID. Cox at Jackson, Breathitt county,
four years ago, wired Governor Beck
ham asking that so soldiers be sent to
guard him against assassination. as
his life is in danger. Civil authorities,
he says, are powerless to protect him.
The little city, which has been the
scene of much turbulence and blood
shed in the past few years, is intense
ly excited over condition bordering
on reign of terror. 1t is a result of
the same cause which brought about
all previous trouble-the feud between
the Hargis faction and their oppo-
nents.
The jury in the case has not been
selected, is it has been found impos-
sible to secure IL men from Breathitt
county who are not afraid TO pass
Judgment on their fellow townsmen
and most powerful citizen. The peo-
pie of Jackson want the trial removed
from Jackson as far as possible Judge
Carnes, however, signified his inten-
ton of holding the trial in Jackson,
but will appoint special elisor to go
to another county and bring in a
venire of men.
There was conference between the
attorneys for the commonwealth and
several parties closely identified with
the prosecution. 1t was decided to
ask the court Of appeals for writ of
prohibition restraining Judge Carnes
from continuing the present trial, and
an attorney with the petition in his
possession came to Lexington to sub
NIT it.
If this writ is granted it will stop
the trial. The commemorative attor-
neys also sent statement setting
forth the state of lawlessness which
exists in Jackson.
Jackson is filled with mountain
men armed to the teeth. w. A. Young,
the attorney conducting the defense,
is greatly alarmed and will not ven
ture on the street Another attorney,
Byrd, was waited on by numerous
friends and warned to be careful. 1t
is believed that should such a riot
break out Byrd and Jouett would be
the first picked off by the Hargis feud-
lists, as these two attorneys have beer
relentless in their efforts to punish
the Hargis faction.
During Wednesdays session of the
court 20 men armed with revolvers
were lined up on each side.
Armed mon made several attempts
to reach Judges Carnes in his room at
the hotel, but they were prevented.
Judge Carnes wired Governor Beck
ham, asking for soldiers on advice of
Police Judge Caldwell of Jackson, an
enemy of the Hargis faction
Armed men followed Carnes about
town Thursday. Friends of James B.
Marcum and James Cockrell. of whose
assassination Hargis, Callahan, Smith
and Abner are charged, are arriving
in Jackson and taking sides against
the accused men and Judges Carnes
1t Is said Judge Carnes Will not
again convens court unless troops
come to Jackson.
