Thousand Dollars Which No
One Claims.

A case on the docket of the Clark Cir
cult Court is unique in that there is 81
600 in bank for which no owner can be
found. 1t is an echo of the famous
Marcum damage suit in which Mrs. Alb
relia Ma cum sued Senator and Judge
HargiS. Ed Callahan and Fult French
for 500, 600 damages for the murder of
her husband, J. B. Marcum. 1t was the
largest single damage suit ever filed in
the State. The day after the trial began
several Of the most important witnesses
for the plaintiff left the State, in charge
of Nose Feltner. as alleged. and remain
ed in Ohio and Indiana uutil after the
close of the trial. 1t is said the defend
ants promised Nose Feltner $1,000 to
take the witnesses beyond the jurisdic-
ton of the courts. Each side was afraid
to trust the other, and the money is said
to have been placed in the hands of
Felix Feltner, of Leslie county, a mutual
friend, and a cousin of Nose Feltner.
Felix Feltner subsequently swore that
young man whom he did not know came
to his hotel and placed the money in his
hands and left without saying what it
was for. He placed the money in bank
and swore he did not know to whom it
belonged Some years later Nose Felt
ner brought suit for the money, out
Judge Benton threw the case out of
court, saying the whole transaction was
corrupt, fraudulent and against public |
policy, and the court would not be |
party to its enforcement.
Felix Feltner left Kentucky and is in
the West, and Fult French has brought
suit against him for the money on the
ground that Feltner owes him. For
their part in the spiriting away of these
witnesses Fult French and Felix Felt
ner we're given the heaviest punishment
ever inflicted in kentucky for contempt
of court. French was fined s., 600 and
Feltner was fined $1,000 and sentenced
to two years in Jail. Feltner paid his
fine and the Jail sentence was RENTED
by Acting Gov. Cox. Gov. Wilson re-
mitted the States portion of French's
fine and he paid the rest. Meanwhile
the thousand dollars remains in bank,
with the ownership undecided.
