From Washington State.

Capt Robert Rosenbuth. who is at
liberty under Federal bail of $4,000,
charged with the murder of Major
Alexander Cronkite. who was shot TO
death on the target range at Camp

Fifteenth street. that James w. Selden,
prosecuting attorney OF Pierce county,
Washington. had forwarded to him an
affidavit in which he swore that the
bureau Of investigation never had fur
nished him with a copy of the repudis-
ton made by Sergeant Pothier of the
latters alleged confession, which. 1T is
charged. was forced from him by Fed
eral agents.
THE significance OF this can be
seen" said Mr.. Goldstein. when II is
remembered that had Selden taken the
confession furnished him at it's face
value Capt. Rosenbluth would now be
under indictment by the Pierce county
Grand Jury. Selden refused to accept
the buck which the bureau OF investi-

known that John e. Mack, guardian for

KENTUCKY KIDNAPS
A FEUDIST- T-SLAYER
State Lands Bailey in Louis
vile Jail After Accused and
Judge Defy 1t.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERatp.
LOUISVILLE. May 80.-John Bailey,
feudist slayer, is in the Louisville county
Jail Thereby hangs the tale OF the re-
newal OF famous twenty year war be-
tween Clay county clans and its odd
sequel, wherein the State OF Kentucky,
finding itself virtually defied by a police
judge, was forced to kidnap the slayer
to keep him in Jail. Bailey's removal to
Louisville to-day means a temporary
victory, at least for the Commonwealth
over Police Judge William Carmackle of
Mount Vernon.
Bailey shot and killed Beverly White,
formerly sheriff OF Clay county, April Z.
in a rekindling of the family feud. Then
he escaped on hand car and fled to the
hills with armed friends. eluding a posse
of officers and Whites friends. Several
nights later he sent emissaries to the
sheriff with the pledge to surrender 'f
he were taken to Harlan for safe keep
ing. This agreement was made and
kept.
At Harlan, Circuit Judge W. T. Davis
denied his motion for bail. The Knox
Circuit Court ordered a change of venue
of his case to Rock Castle county and
Bailey was taken to Mount Vernon, the
county seat.
While in Jail there all the other pris-
oners escaped. Bailey did not want to
leave. Instead he went to the jailer's
house and told him he was lonely.
Bailey's case was called for trial. in
Rock Castle Circuit Court May II, buc
was continued until August. So a mo-
ton was made before Police Judge Car
mackle for both bail and a writ of
habeas corpus.
Commonwealth Attorney Walter Flip
pen protested against a hearing in the
police court. contending it had no Juris-
dic.ion. Judge Carmackle, however.
set last Saturday for the hearing and
heard the arguments. but decided he
would withhold his decision until the
Court Of Appeals passed on the juris-
diction writ.
Then the Commonwealth's attorney
held a conference in which Gov. e. p.
Morrow took a hand and decided to
ask for an order transferring the
prisoner to Louisville. The order was
granted
Bailey. at the jail. said he was noti-
fed by the Sheriff late Saturday after
noon that he was going to be removed
and was whisked away without the
knowledge OF his friends.
Twenty year ago Beverly White,
Bailey's victim. moved away to rear his
children free from the feud. 1t was on
a visit back to his old home that he was
slain.
