BROOKSVILLE, KY, May 6.-Troops
with machine guns mounted at vantage
points are guarding the courthouse
here o-night, while in small room in
side a jury is deliberating on the fate
of the Rev. Thomas Marksberry,
twenty eight years old, charged with
having robbed and stabbed to death his
best friend, Jesse Glenn, a trader, then
dismembered and buried his body.
While the presence of the Latonia
Home Guard, the same company that
quelled the Lexington riot, has tended
to allay the spirit of lawlessness which
manifested itself yesterday when the
preachers defense consisted merely of
his own unsupported denial of the
murder, the little county seat town is
packed with people awaiting the ver-
dict. The jury received the case at
a p. M
Threats Made Openly
Threats were openly uttered by
many last night on the streets that
Marksberry would be lynched if the
jury failed to return verdict carry
ing the death penalty. Troops were
rushed to Maysville, the county seat of
the adjoining county, this morning.
They escorted the preacher from the
jail, where he had been taken nightly
for safe keeping, to BrooksviAe. When
the troops arrived the streets were
filled with people.
The soldiers Immediately were
thrown around the courthouse and
no one was allowed to come nearer
tnan a block. Adjutant General De-
wccse, who gave the order to fire that
caused six to fall during the Lexington
riot in February, arrived later to take
personal charge.
The torso OF Glenn's body was found
buried on Marksberry's farm a month
after he had disappeared last fall.
Trial Began a Week Ago
At the trial. which began a week ago,
and which required examination OF 250
tailsmen, it was testified the preacher
had Glenn's automobile and had sold
dogs and guns belonging to the dead
man and even had worn his shoes.
Glehn's empty pocketbook was found
in Marksberrys attic. Marksberry

When Glenn's torso was found-the

"a mob formed and it was necessary
to rush the preacher to third Jail in

He has steadfastly maintained his
innocence and pointed out that Glenn
nursed him through long spell of ILL.,

have slain him.

trial has been remarkable. II. is

Drunk Convicts Himself

When Arthur Ballinger, thirty, of
4ol West Fifteenth Street, was ar
raigned before Magistrate Max E.
Levine in the mems night court last
night, he denied he was drunk.
Magistrate Levine directed Patrol
man Richard Maddefore, of the West
Twentieth Street station, who arrested
Ballinger at Eighteenth Street and
Sixth Avenue, to draw line from the
courtroom cate to the bench. Then
he said to Ballinger, "If you can walk
that you can go free"
Ballinger stepped aboard the chalk
line and started his journey. He pro-
ceedcd accurately about half the jour
ney and then, with much waving Of
arms, fell into the arms of court at

William had been brought to New

No Crime in Living Apart
Says Miss Hx1:st's Husband
II Wriggle Under the Solicitude of the Uplift
LADIES' Ayers Danielson, ''but We Are Con-
tent With the Arrangement, and | Like IT.

Jacques S. Danielson, husband of Fan
me Hurst. sent the following to The
Tribune last night:
"In view Of the delure Of comment
aroused by Miss Hurst's and my mar
riage announcement, am constrained
to make the inclosed statement, to avoid
growing misconceptions on the part of
a public apparently eager to stamp our
seriously undertaken experiment with
sensationalism:
quite shiver seems to have rippled
along the spine of the public conscience
over the fact that Miss Hurst and are
occupying separate apartments during
this period of housing Shortage There
are worse economic crimes being COM
mitted day after day in the average
home of joint and domestic felicity.
will venture the assumption, fairly se-
cure in my statement. that, in propor-
ton to our respective incomes, our COM
bined rents and scale of living amount
to less than they would otherwise.
interests Undiminished
Free from the strain of marriage
that has narrowed down the woman's
scope so that creature comforts come
to assume unduly large proportions,
we find ourselves, with cur multitude
OF outside interests undiminished, con-
tent to live on scales that l confess
are below the power of our respective
incomes.
Miss Hurst employs one maid in
her studio. l have merely the blythe
hour services of visiting maid. For
those who seem to think that ! am be-
ing cheated Of the carpet slipper, fire
side aspect of domesticity, wish fur
ther to make the statement that when

in for the comfortable sag of the pat
ent rocker I need only to drop in at
Miss Hurst's for one of the delicious
home made dinners her maid of live
years permanencY knows so we'll how

to prepare and the deep repose of her
studio, which for quiet and comfort
is equalled only to the similar homi-
ness of mine own.
II am grateful to the uplift ladies'
for their kindly solicitude as to my
lonely state, but, like the small boy
under the patronage of the we'll mean
ing old lady, / wriggle. The worst of
this, matrimvnial alliance Of mine Is
that | like it. The gracious woman
barrister who commiserated my pos
sible state of forlorn neglect upon the
occasion of ill-health, etc, need feel
no concern.
Dew Thick on the Roses
During the one or two illnesses
that have occurred during these last
hve years have never felt for one in
stant the lack of either garden variety
Wl1ely interest or solicitude, and, jf
may enlarge upon Miss Hurst's grace
tul expression of the matter, the dew
is thick upon the roses of that garden.
The popular Interpretation seems to
be that life for us is one long rem
devious with alien interests. AS a
matter of fact, Miss Hurst probably
spends more time in her home than the
average woman. She is at her desk
tor six hours day. She entertains
friends at her own table three or four
times a week, and spends as many as
three or~four months year with her
parents in St. Louis.
We are both workers, and must de-
vote long evenings to study and read
ing and practice, so, all in all, hardly
think we can be classified as pair
that has thrown off the responsibilities
of the usual marriage ties in order
that we may play promiscuously.
Rather, as it has worked out, we
have thrown off the rusty shackles of
some of the outworn matrim onial i'm
positions in order that we may have
more liberty to live up to more of the
responsibilities of our lives and our
work" 00A

to be closed for repairs from jackson
Heights through Corona. A detour
that is slightly longer. but over good
roads, for those bound out along the
North Shore is to follow Webster Ave

turn leads into the Shore Road This

Further out, Broadway is closed be-
tween Murray Hill and Auburndale. In
Flushing travellers take a turn to the
right from Broadway along Parsons
Avenue, which can be followed d.
r.ectly until it joins the Queens Road.
At Bell Avenue in front of the Belle
clare Country Club travellers turn left
for Bayside.
Drivers of automobiles on the road
