Maj. Helburn Acquitted

Middlesboro, KY. Maj. E. S.
Helburn, former Mayor of Mid
dlesboro, was acquitted here to-
day on the charge Of killing ALT
Farmer, upon motion of County
Attorney c. |. Dawson, after all
the evidence had been introduced
by the Commonwealth and it
was clearly shown that Maj, Hell
burn was justified in taking the
life of ALT Farmer to save the
life of Lee Rennebaum.
The examining trial was held
before Magistrates j. Y. Page,
of Pineville, and John Hurst, of
Middlesboro, in the absence of
County Judge T. j. Asher. Their
verdict was justifiable homicide.
Farmer had assaulted a woman
in the comissary of the Yellow
Greek Coal Company. Renne-
baum, an employee of the COM
pany, tried to make Farmer
cease. Farmer then turned on
Rennebaum with a gun and fired
one shot, when Helburn shot
Farmer. Maj. Helburn came
here from Louisville several
years ago and is much interested
in the coal development in this
section. 10
