ROBINSON CASE
BEFORE COURT
Man Under Indictment in
Tragedy at Handy Sta
ton Last February
Being Tried
JUDGE HENDERSON
DENIES CONTINUANCE

When the case of the Common
wealth of Kentucky against Jim Rob.
inson was called in Circuit Court
Yesterday afternoon, Commonwealth
Att. FurgerSon, County ATT. syper
and Waddill & Lafoon, secured TO
assist in the prosecution, asked the
court for continuance on account
of the fact, they stated, of the failure
of several important witnesses, scat.
tered over the state, not being pres
ent. For the same reason Ats. Fox
& Powell and Breathitt and Trimble,
representing the defendant, asked
the court to al ow them few days
in which to also locate number of
their witnesses who failed to show up
Judge Henderson insisted that the
case be entered into, claiming that
sufficient witnesses for both prosecu-
ton and defence were present to be-
gin trial, and stated that he would
appoint special bailiffS and send them
to any part in the state in order to
bring in the witnesses supposed to be
here for the trial. A demurrer to the
indictment was filed by the defence,
which was Immediately oveTuled by
the court. Empanelling the jury
started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
and only seven having been agreed
upon on by both sides, as follows:
G B. hale, Lee Oglesby, J. L.
Whitfield, G. W. Carey, j. W.
Flynn, Willis Walker and o. J.
Thomas. The panel was exhausted
and the sheriff ordered to summon
fifty men, from which the jury will
probably be completed this morning.
Court adjourned until 8 o'clock this
morning.
Attorneys for the prosecution
stated that at least eleven important
witnesses were absent, some of them
being i'll, viii e others were in the
eastern part of the stale. Judge
Henderson assured them that the
court woul have them here if such
a thing was possible and was not
willing to grant a continuance, when
so many had answered present for
both sides. Perhaps 150 witnesses
were present yesterday, when the
work of selecting a jury started.
Robinson is one of the men under
indictment charged with wilful muir
der, as a result of the killing of
Demmitt Woodruff and Grover
Hoard at Handy Station last Feb
ruary, one year ago. Floyd Cranor
was indicted on the same charge, but
he has never been arrested. c. S.
Bookwalter, coal operator; Otto

ed yesterday, Judge Henderson con-
tinued them until next Saturday.

Frankfort is in a turmoil tonight

ing the debate upon the state
wide prohibition bill between
Reps. J. ID. Pumphrey of Flem-

passed aud Harvey was referred
to by Pumphrey as "a hypocriti-
Gal libertine preacher" A fist
fight was narrowly averted.
]. u. Humphrey, following at
tack on Gov. Stanley by W. B.
Harvey, arose and said:
'Our governor has been slan-
dered by the member from Web

aEy hotel caused a woman's voice
to ring out until the night watch

ting, therefore, that he be at

tine preacher, who has attempted

ARep. Harvey at this point leap
ed to his feet and advancing
down the aisle of the chamber,
charged Humphrey with falsify
ing and then declared: The
member from Fleming county
has presented himself before the
chamber as a dry advocate and l
want to say now that when he
did that he lied. If he votes in
favor of the proposed amend
ment he will do so because of the
pressure exerted by his constitu-
ents.
"As to the charge of j. ID.
