KENTUCKY MURDER TRIAL
Judge Hargis Acquitted of Charge of
Killing Thomas COcl1redI.

Lexington, KY, May 23.-Almost eX-
actly three years after the shooting of
Town Marshal Thomas Cockrill at
jackson a verdict Of not guilty was
returned here today iii the case of
Judge James Hargis, the first of those
who were jointly charged with the
murder, and another chapter in the
famous Breathitt county court annals
was concluded
In June 1904 COckrill was shot in
the court house at Jackson, dying la
ter at Lexington, where he was taken
for medical attention.
During the trial several witnesses
swore that Judge Hargis, his brothers,
and Sheriff Ed Callahan had entered
into a murder conspiracy, promising
immunity to any one who would shoot
COckrill, DR.. B. D. Cox and J. B. Mar
cum, all three Of whom have since
been killed.
The defense, however, presented tes
timoRy tending to disprove the con-
spiracy charge and Judge Hargis, tes-
tyfying in his own behalf, denied all
connection with the shooting. Curt
Jett, who confessed to killing Marcum
for which he was given a life sentence,
was a witness against Judge Hargis.
When the verdict was announced to-
day IA great cheer arose from the
friends of Judge Hargis who crowded
the court room, and it was necessary
for Circuit Judge Watts Parker to rap
repeatedly for order

read and write another two and one
half per cent of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 621s per cent are abb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain it is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bundle
of letters to house and the owner
looks through them and takes those
which are Tor which he thinks are)
addressed to him. The Spanish post
men are not paid by the state; the
recipient of the letters have to re-
munerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t is joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most whether they are in
tended for him or not.
