Kuttawa, Ky, Aug. 15.-when
the Lyon county circuit court con-
vened today, the cases against the
eight men charged with the murder
of Axiom Cooper. confessed night
rider and witness for the common
wealth was submitted.
The OWL authorities still maintain
the non-conspiracy theory, and de-
clare the killing was the result of a
drunken orgy. Military officers state
positively that the killing was the
result of a conspiracy and the al
legged plot can be established. Sergt-
Maj. Ooch tells Of a telephone COM
from Rock Castle to an
other telephone near the home of
Milton Oliver: also of Cooper being
warned not to attend a barbecue, at
which he was shot. He recites
further of a picked quarrel previous
to the killing, in which Cooper bare
~ escaped being shot. Then he en-
phasizes the fact that Cooper was
struck to the ground and held by
two men while the others shot him.
The soldiers were here, and state
that the surrender of Bart and
Spunk Creekmore was due to the
vigilant watch kept around their
home. At one time during the chase
