“Jackson, Ky., June 17, 1003.—To
The Morning Herald, 'Lexington, Ky.—
■Der.r sir: i will call your attention to
the fact about the matter about me
"burning ot.B. J. Hwen's house on the
14th of June, 1903. I left tho house
next door to B. J. Ewen's hotel, unil I
saw one of the party come out of tbe
gate in front of the Ewen building a
few mlhfates before the alarm of fire.
JHo walked away from the gate, went
down the railway and over since l
have been afraid to stay at home. The
second night after the burning two
men came to my houso carrying some
thing In their hands. Their friends
aay IX J. tell on the guilty party I will
.go tho samo way Ewen or Marcum did.

That Bribe Offered to Ewen.
From n staff correspondent sent to
Jackson to learn definitely the facts
as to tho offer of 15,000 made to Cap
tain •S. J. Ewen to alter hi3 testimony
os to seeing Jett in tnc corridor with
pistol in hand when Marcum was as
sassinated. The Herald has received
a sensational dispatch. It says:
•‘From a source that is reliable and
authentic, It has been learned that the
full details of the oflcr of $5,000 to
Captain Ewen to perjure himself, was
communicated to State Inspector
Hlnos upon his Inst visit here, and
that he reported those facts to Gover
nor Beckhsm last week. Tho faqts, In
substance, are mat a man went to Cap
tain Ewen, made him the proposition
to pay him the sum stated If he would
‘either leave tho county, or would
swear on the witness stand that he did
not recognize the assassin of Mar
cum. Captain Ewen told him that he
would have to think the matter over,
and made an appointment for the mnu
to come to his house and told him to
bring the money. Arrangements were
made that when t.,c emissary returned
everything he said or did could be
beard and seen by witnesses. He re
turned at the appointed hour and
brought five $1,000 notes. Ho repeat-
with him five $1,000 notea. He repeat
ed his Oder. Captain Ewen refused it
and told the man to take the money
back and that he could not use It.
Upon his refusal, the emissary lost bia
temper and said it was the worst mis
take Ewen ever made: that he would
bo burned out, destroyed and absolute
ly wiped out of existence.”

Tbe men killed and Injured were
carpenteri and others employed in
opening the mines and building tbe
shafting. When tbs storm came up
the men took refuge in John Saltzgn-
ber's barn, seme distance from the
mine, and suddenly a blinding flash
came and in an Instant the barn was

Captain Ewen Lionized.
Captain B. J. Ewen wes escorted to
tho Elks' ball in Lexington Wednes

was brought Into the room by a Knight
Templar, whoso lodge was giving a re

The dance was stopped short and
ruth made for the ^md refugee.
8cor.es of young women clasped
hands with him and declared him the
bravest man In Kentucky,
i “You aro right, everybody is for
you,” was the chorus.
CaptrJn Ewen was asked to
where the wines were flowing freely.
He went, but would not drink. He
has never tasted intoxicating liquor
nor nsed tobacco.
Captain Ewen announces that on the
advice of friends he would go to Frank

New Postmasters Named.
The president has recently appointed
the following postmasters: Waycross
Ga., Charles E. murphy; Mount Airy,
Ga.. John E. Allkrlght; Gaston, N.
C-. Claudius D. Holland; Pulaski,
Tepn., William B. Farris.
Thfera has been considerable criti
cism expressed over the sermon which
Dr. Len O. Broughton delivered at the
Baptist Tabernacle la Atlanta last Sun
day night, in which he severely casti
gated tbe moral character of the pro-
fossors and students of the Georgia
School of Technology, the leading tech
nical Institution in tho south.
' In tho prelude to his sermon, Dr.
Broughton denounced the moral plane
of tbe Institution in no unmistakablo
terms, saying that “cs matters now-
stand a boy might almost as well go to
hell for grace as to the Tech for char
acter,”
He then denounced the recent ban
quet held‘by tho graduating class, in
which he said that "the students and
the members of the faculty swlggod
wine and champagne together." He
said the people of the state were Indlg-
nant at this state of ntfaira.
This attack upon the Tech has
aroused much adverse criticism
President Hall Talks.
In an Interview which ho gavo out
Monday morning. President Lyman
Hall, of the Tech, said:
1 feel It my duty to reply to the ser
mon ct Dr. Broughton as follows:
No member of U><- faculty has, m
my knowledge, ever attended a ban
quet with students. The alumni ban
quets ai-e annual affairs which have
been given for the last ten years at
the close of the session In June! The
occasions have not been abused nor
have they ever been the cause of un
favorable remark. The members of the
faculty and board of trustees, the gov
ernor and visiting dignitaries have al
ways been Invited.
The statement is made that certain
people aro tired of paying thetr taxes
to educate drunkards, etc. In reply to
this (If it needs reply) I esn only point
to our list of graduates and say it is
the boast of the Institution that not
one of them has ever been known to be
dissipated or unreliable in business.
"The following charge is made:
‘There Is too much drinking out thcro.'
Also, 'the faculty sets tho pace.' Sure
ly every friend of the school, familiar
with Its personnel an.1 work, must
know this is a slander against the In
stltutton; and to thoso who are not fa
miliar with the Institution, it becomes
my duty to say tn reply to such state
ments that I have never known of any
member of the faculty being under the
Influhcc of liquor.
“As to tho student body, there Is no
college dormitory In tho United States
which la more closely looked after as
regards the habits and hours of stu
dents. In the flftocn years . of tho
school’s existence there has never
been a case made In police court or
of the city against a student of the In
stitution for drunkenness or disorder
ly conduct. Surely this Is a record
which cannot be surpassed. In the fif
teen years of our existence there has
been only one or two cases of students
having been found under the influncc
of whisky, nnd the penalty has bc-n
expulsion.
Professor Turner Talks.
Professor Frank C. Tumor, of the
Tech, nnd treasurer of the alumni as
sociation, gave out the following rath
er tnrt interview in regard lo .at
statements of Dr. Broughton:
“As an alumnus of the school nnd a
member of tho alumni association I
express the sentiment of the associa
tion In saying mat this villainous at
lack is beneath our notice.
"Such charges egalnst our school
are false, and tho alumni are Indig
nant that they are brought, though we
feel sure that the peopio of the coun
try will consider the source nnd tako
these statements at what they arc
worth.
“It will probably be recalled that
this reverend gentleman a few years
since made an attack upon the young
lady stenographers of tbit city, which
attack la summed In his statement
that 'It wa3 as well to give a young
lady a straight passport to hell as a
diploma from one of our stenographic
college!.’ These words were thrown
back Into his teeth. Not satisfied with
trying to smirch the virtue of some o(
the fairest young women of the mate,
he now seems to be anxious to Injure
tho reputation and character of its
young men, and cast a reflection upon
an Institution whose worn and re;
VENUE CHANGE IS MADE
respondent of Tne tialvestott fihwdi
made the following statement to the
Associated Press correspondent Fri
day:
“I am very much astonished to sea
such an outcome from the visit made
to me by one who only gained friendly
access to be my reason of hts being a
representative of a paper formerly con
ducted and owned by my deceased
friend, Colonel Belo, and now conduct
ed by his son.
“I don't know whether Bailey intend
ed It or not, but he has given a very
erroneous Impression of what occur
red betwcon us.
"If 1 had dreamed that he would at
tempt to construct an Important Inter
view, dealing with Important aubjects,
out of what.was aaldott the occasion of
out of what was said ill the occasion of
Cd, according to my habit, upqn ltd
being then and IhCrC reduced to Writ
tug and subnUtted to m«. Instead Of
gaining the least intimation of such ad
intention on his part, his first words
were that ho knew an ex-president was
not a person to bo Interviewed and he
left me without the least hint that 1
had been Interviewed for publication.
"All I care to add is that the sub
stance of the interview aa published
Is. In some-respects, grossly Inaccur
ate. There are statements in It attri
buted to me that 1 certainly would not
have m&do to a person no nearer to me
and no more tn my confidence than Mr.
Bailey,"
The Alleged Interview,
Mr. Biil-t. to whom former Presi
dent Cleveland alludes, spent Thurs
day at Princeton, and when he arrived
in Washington prepared an account of
his conversation with Mr. Cleveland.
Tho correspondent believes Mr.
Cleveland deeply In earnest in two
things. The first, that his name shall
not be considered in connection with
the democratic nomination. The sec
ond is his hearty desire for the unity
of tho party and success of democratic
principles.
According to Mr. Bailey, Mr. Cleve
land made the following statement:
“I have never spoken to anybody on
the subject of a fourth candidacy;
have never written to a single political
friend one way or another, nor have 1
boon written to or spoken to by them.
There Is not a political loader of any
prominence endeavoring to advance
any movement to nominate me In any
state, so far as I have been advized,
nor do I anticipate that any such otfci
will be made by any leader, prominent
or obscure, In any locality of the coun
try, >
“In this respect the situation Is more
than plcnslng. tn earnestly desiring
the democratic pBrty to become strong
and united cs of old, committed to the
simple traditions and sound principles

which mado it aggressive and victo-1 t„ it."
But for one juror, Curtli Jett would
have been con vie-cd at Jackson, Ky.,
Friday of the murder of J. n, Marcum,
and a majority of the jury dlM favored
tbe conviction of Thomas White. Doth
are now almost 100 miles from home
In Jail at Lexington and their next trial
will be at Cynthlana, more than 100
rallc3 from Jackson, away from tits
mountains and In the blue grass re
gion, under Very different conditions
from those existing In Breathitt
county,
The Interest In the change of venue
was Second only to tho verdict. When
Judge ftedwltie refused to hear argu
ments on the change of location, It
was stated by many in the court house
that the presiding Judge had heard
from Governor Beckham, who Is gener
ally believed to have had something to
do with the change of venue to Harri
son county, which Is in tne eighteenth
judicial district of Kentucky, where J.
J. Osborno is the circuit judge. L.
P. Fryer Is the commonwealth's attor
ney and the sheriff and other.court offi
cers ore also favorably known.
With such general confidence In tbe
surroundings of the next trial there ib
a general belief that "everything la for
the beat After nil," If the verdict had
been one of conviction, tho residents
of Jackson feel that violence would
have followed, *Hd thdt It would have
extended to others thsn Witnesses, ju
rors and those who had taken part In
the prosecution.
Colonel Williams was at Frankfort
Friday night conferring with the gov
ernor regarding the withdrawal of the
troops. It Is understood that no num
ber of loops can stop the lurking fire
bugs or hidden assassins, but that at
least one company ahould be kept. In
Jackson as long as Provost Marshal
Longmlre is kept In charge of the
town. There Is a feeling of reliof so
far as old scores are concerned, but
there Is still a reign of terror because
It la believed that others “have been
marked.”
Jury Couldn’t Agree.
At 8 o'clock Friday morning the jury
In the Jett-White case filed Into the
court room and Foreman Richard Mil
lard said:
"Your honor, we find "there la no
chance of coming to an agreement."
Judge Redwlne said:
'Twill have to keep you gentlemen
together until Saturday night unless
you get a verdict sooner. There Is no
reason why a verdict should not be
reached In this case.”
Juror Millard said:
“One man has as much right tn his
opinion as another and ho may Stick

tary conditions in tho party."
Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Bailey said,
would talk ns more politics, but In re
sponse to a remark that southern peo
ple were pleased with what ho had re
cently said on the race question, tho
face of the former president kindled
with Interest ns he said It was Indeed
gratifying to him to know this. Ho
said he had received hundreds of let-
tera conveying kindly sentiments frotp
tbe southern people since ho had spok-
cn on the race problem, and, believing
he has fairly appreciated the difficul
ties with which the southern peopio
had always to contend, It was all thu
more a pleasing reflection that he had

he had ever entertained respect and
admiration.

It was believed from this that there
was only one man between a verdict
of guilty or not guilty.
The scene after tho announcement
of the verdict was in no wise exciting:
Some started to clap hands, but were
stopped by the court. The guards'took
immediate possession of the prisoners
and they wore closely gusrded back
to Jall.i Peopio gathered around tho
court house tn knots discussing the
esse, but there was no disturbance
and no outward sign or trouble.
Attorney Byrd, after a consultation
at 10 o’clock, made a motion far
change of venue. Judge Redwlne re
(used to hear arguments, but of his
own accord changed tbe venue to Cya-
thiana, Harrison county, at* the next
term of court. He surprised the spec
tators by at once ordering tbe prison
ers sent to Lexington under a detach
ment of soldiers nnd accompanied by
Elisor Jones. They left Jackson at 2
o'clock and were placed In Lexington

cial sources that the Jury stood eleven
for conviction and one for acquittal In
the Jett esse, and seven for conviction
and five for acquittal In the White
cate. Fitzpatrick, the man who finally
stood out for the acquittal of Jett,
says he did not base his opinion on the
argument of the attorneys, but on the
evidence in tbe case. He said there
was in his mind not only a reasonable
doubt of Jett’s guilt, but there Is also
reason to believe that he had nothing
to do with the murder of Marcum.
