SWER CHARGES
SOLDIERS GUARD WITNESS

Hopkinsville, Ky, March 6.-With
Judge j. T. Hanbery presiding, the
Christian Circuit Court has began a
six weeks term which promises to
be notable by reason of the import
ant so-called might rider cases

a tobacco buyer dragged from his
home and whipped, and residences
where lights burned riddled with bull
lets.
The cases have twice been post
poned When first called, Milton
Oliver, chief witness for the prosecu-
ton, was unable to appear, as he was
suffering from a buckshot woun
his hip, an attempt having been made
to assassinate him shortly after his
confession before the grand jury. Ill
ness of attorneys for the defense
caused a continuance of the trials at
the last term Of court. Both sides
now profess eagerness for. the cases
to be heard.

turned States evidence, is expected

diers who have been constantly at his

companied him to Eddyville when he
marke ed his tobacco. Recently he
sold his farm for $4,000 to a Trigg
county man, and after testifying here
expects to remove with his family tc

whole truth in the Hopkinsville trials
