EXCITEMENT OVER
IN JACKSON, KY.
Trial of Judge Hargis Postponed BY
Writ of Prohibition-People
of City Pleased.

Jackson, KY, January 10.-The trial Of
Judge James Hargis on the charge OF
participating in the assassination of DR..
B. D. Cox in this city, three years ago,
was suddenly postponed here today as
the result of writ of prohibition, issued
today by the court of appeals of Ken
lucky. This writ was granted upon the
application of Attorney General n. b.
Hayes and James B. Adams, common
wealth's attorney for the second judicial
district.
The petitioners allege that SpecialsJudge
William Carnes of Wllliamstown, who
was appointed by Governor Beckham to
try the case OF Judge Hargis and others
charged with the assassination OF DR.. Cox,
is conducting the trial in an arbitrary
manner, and is overstepping the bounds
of law.
The principal objection to Judge Carnes
is his ruling that temporarily suspended
Sheriff Brock Crawford, and the naming
of Robin Burton as elsor. The petition
ers ,allege that Judge Carnes has directed
the elisor to summon bystanders for the
jury, which is In violation OF a statute
passed at the last session of the legisla-
ture.
When court adjourned here Mt 2 o'clock
this afternoon. 1t was evident that d
writ of prohibition had wrought a great
change in the feelings of the people o.
this city. Judge Carnes said that he
thought the writ would be dismissed on a
demurrer which he would file tomorrow
when he reached Frankfort.
The excitement has subided and the
town is almost deserted.

that James Hendrix, the negro who es-
capped on Wednesday night, has not been
captured yet.
The prisoner was awaiting trial on sew
eral charges and fearing conviction he
decided to take advantage which oppor-

against the wall brought him within ten
feet of the top. A broken cot set on
top of the coal reached almost to the top

protect him from the glass and all these

POLICE CLEARING
OUT THE MINORS
Visiting Pool Rooms Which Are Con-

Against Many Boys.

Bessemer January 10.-(Special.)-The
police of Bessemer have in the last few
days inauguerated a campaign against
the increasing habit Of minors visiting
pool rooms which are connected with sa-
looms. Several dozen of the boys have
been arrested, some colored, some white.
and every one has been fined and repri-
manded.
A city ordinance provides the penalty
for this grievance. which Is said to be
one Of the worst forms of injury to young
men. A man said this afternoon that
they are introduced to the saloon in Its
worst form under disguise. However.
within a few days the ordinance recently
passed will go into effect, entirely sep
arating the pool rooms from saloons, and
this will do away with the difficulty.
Many arrests are now being made, on
warrants, of vasrant women. all of whom
are being fined S..

MORE. ARRESTS IN
INSURANCE CASE
Jerome Says Evidence in lnves-
tigation Means Others
BRIEFS IN PERKINS TRIAL
Former Vice President of the New
York Life Seeks to Inspect Minutes
of the Grand Jury Which
Indicted Him.

New York, January 10.-More arrests
may be made in connection with the in
vestigaton of the affairs of the New York
Life Insurance company, according To
an announcement made today by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome The announcement
was made while the district attorney
was opposing an application Of counsel
for George W. Perkins, now under in
| dictment In the New York Life case, for
an inspection of the entire minutes of the
December grand jury
Mr.. Jerome said 1t would be in defiance
of public policy to grant such a request,
as there are persons mentioned in the
evidence who have not yet been arrested,
but who may be at some future time.
No decision was reached in the matter
today, the court directing counsel for
both sides to submit briefs in duplication
of the verbal arguments.
Lewis l.. Deafleld and former Judge
William N. Cohen made the arguments in
favor of Mr. Perkins. Mr. Delaield said
that terrible mistake had been made
In the grand jury which had misappre-
hended the evidence. The attorney said
there was no evidence that a crime had
been committed and that the defendant
had not been examined by a magistrate.
lie said that the facts geenrally sur
rounding The case were such as to cause
the court to probe into the sufficiency of
the evidence on which the indictments
were found. Reading from the Perkins
affidavit Mr.. Delafeld said his client con-
tends that he is not guilty of the crime
charged, and that he had nothing to do
| with the entries ON the books
Mr.. Jerome IN replying said that the
most that has been done by counsel of
the opposition has been to file affidavit
In which he says he has committed no
crime. He declared that mere denial was
not sufficient to gain the inspection of
the minutes Of the grand jury. Mr.. Je-
rome said he would consent to Mr.. Per-
lSins examining a transcript of his own
testimony, but that the other proceed
lngs before the jury must remain secret.
81 may say to your honor" the district
attorney continued. that the evidence
given before the grand jury refers to a
number of persons who have not been
arrested as yet, but who may be subse-
quently arrested Public policy demands
that this evidence should not be spread
abroad
This presentment is an extraordinary
feature of the findings of the indictments,
but the counsel for the defendant over
looks the correct Interpretation of 1t. |
heard all the evidence in this case, and
| concurred in the truth of the present
ment, but not In Its wisdom. The mo-
tives of the men indicted were undoubted-
ly 20 MY way of thinking altruistic. But
there is a vast difference between mo-
tive and intent The grand jury taking
the law from the district attorney had
TO find indictments, because there was
that intent to commit a crime"
Both sides were then ordered to hand
in briefs.
