rose up and clinched with the son
after which the boy fired two other
shots killing his father. Brown sta
tes that the killing occurred about
11:30 in the morning. In fact it Is
concedsd by both the prosecution and
defense that Thompson met his death
at about this hour, but the former
trial young Thompson and Benjamin
show by multitude of witnesses that
each of these young men were at work
in his store hours before and hours
after the time of 1880. Some eight
or ten people work in Thompson store
and they state that Thomas Thomp-
son came to the store at ten or fif-
teen minutes after his father left the
store in the morning and was not
away from it ten minutes at any one
time until he went to look for his
father at 1880 p. m. Benjamin was
with young Thompson, according to
eye witness Brown, when the killing
was done at 1880 but six or seven
witnesses state that Benjamin came
into his fathers store between nine
and ten o'clock and was continuous
ly in the store until the finding of
Thompson's body. After Young
Thompson's second arrest.-His ar
rest after indictment by Browns evil
dence he was committed to prison at
Dixon, and when his attorneys Bour-
land and Hunt and Baker and Baker ar
gusd motion for bail before Judge Hen
son they agreed to submit transcript
of hte evidence at Thomas former
examining trial together with witness
Browns testimony to which Common
wealth Attorney Dixon agreed. Judge
Henson admitted Thompson to bail
in the sum of $4,000. 1t is be-
lieved hiatt in fixing the bond at this
amount the court took cognizance of
the fact that men worth in the ag-
gregate hundreds of thousands of dol
lars had volunteered their services as
bondsmen,
Henry Thompson's death presents
some puzzling features. He was last
seen at eight O'Clock in the morning.
His death, however brought about, all
are agreed it took sl>ce about elsv-
en- thirty. Where he was for these
three hours and half no one knows.
According to a large number of repu-
table witnesses neither his son, Thorn
as Thompson nor Kerney Benjamin
could possibly have been his murder
ar ;nobcdy else is accused. | met A.
" Thompson the wealthy Louisville
Clothing manufacturer and brother of
Henry Thompson and he told me he
had no theory OF just how his brother
came 20 his death but that he didn't
believe for a moment that it could
have been at the hands of Thomas
Thompson. The Thompson family
have been prominent in Ohio County
history for hundred years the grand
father of Henry Thompson represent
ing the county in the lower house of
the Kentucky general assembly fifty
yearsago, land this young man charged
with the murder of his father is the
forst of the Thompson family ever ar
rested for crime, and take it the
friends of the family in Ohio county
will be gratified to know that only
trial is wanted to vindicate great
grand son of "Old Henry" Thompson.
