Trial of the Feudists in Kentucky Proceeding Under
Difficulties—Judge Compelled to Adjourn Because
a Witness Was Too Drunk to Take the Stand.
Testimony That the Conspiracy to Kill Attorney
Marcum Originated in the Office of County Judge
Harris—Judge Redwine Showing Great Courage.
JACKSON, Ky., June 12.—A number | sence of witnesses, nnd again In the
cf correspondents arrived here today.
Including magazine writers and artists
for illustrated papers.
Provost Marshal Longmire has made
no arrests for two nights and two days.
Since he closed the "blind tigers'* there
has been no shooting during the night.
The free use of weapons In the carous-
als around these places led to reports at
times of bands of feudists coming Into
town to attack the jail .Court had to
take the noon recess today earlier than
usual, because the next witness was
unable to get on the stand, and It was
evident that liquor Is still available
from sources.
The feature of the trial today was the
drift of evidence toward a conspiracy
Implicating county officials And ethers
and tending to show that Jett and
White had no such motives as the
conspiracy, but were simply hired to
kill J. B. Marcum, who was the attor
ney for partlef contesting the election
of county officials. The defense, dur-
afi.-rnoon on account of th- of
one of the attorneys for the defense.
In both cases, Judge Redwine ordered
the trial to proceed.
The first witness today was William
Hurst, who was questioned regarding
a plot to assassinate Marcum, in which
two county officials were implicated.
Wijllam Eversole and oiner witnesses
were examined as to the alleged con
spiracy.
Abner. Smith and Feltner are said to
have been in the plot to assassinate
Marcum. Abner gave Marcum an affi
davit. which was filed in court, stating
that plots were formed in the office of
County Judge Harris, and that *the
judge nnd Sheriff Ed Callaha'n were
furnishing the money. Mrs. Johnson
testified also to this Information being
furnished her brother by Feitner. Now
the dtfeflR claims that theRe men are
badly needed. Feltner has forfeited a
bond of $3.000,after being granted t\ new
trial for the murder of Jessie Fields in
the French-Eversole feud. Marcum
was his lawyer and secured o reversnl
in his cause. Because he was a friend J M
of Marcum.^t Is alleged, he was picked
out to assassinate him, as he could not
be suspected, a pardon for the Fields
murder being the roward promised.

BELGRADE, June 12.—The assassi
nation of K*ng Alexander nnd Queen
Draga, the latter's two brothers, the
Servian premier, nllnlster of tvar and
former min ster of war, perpetrated irj
the dark hours of yesterday morning
by a band of officers and the proclam-
at on by the army of Prince Peter Ka-
rageorgevltch, the pretender to tho
throne, ns king of Servia has apparent
ly b:e.i accepted by tho capital and
the Servian peoplo without a murmur.
Tho meeting of the skupshtlna on Mon
day next is locke I forward to confirm
the proclamation as k ng Pine* Kara-
georgevitch an! to leguiarlze the new
it on. The. only new element In
situation is a feeling among the
intelligent clarses in favor of the abol
ition of a Servian monarchy altogether
and the creation of A republic and this
sentiment is shared by nt least one
member of the provisional government.
Differences of opinion on this point
developed today at a meeting of the
cabinet, when t)ie new foreign minis-
t*r, AJubonlr Knllevics, expressed his
leanings in favor of the establishment
of fk republlcuh form of government.
The majority of the ministers* howev
er, declared themselves In favor of u
new' king In Prince Peter Kuragtorge-
vltch. They Mrengthenel their decla
tation by the strong argument that It
was certain that Austria and Russl
would not countenance the creation of
a republic. This Is the view generally
thared by politicians. The government
has laid clglm to the possessions of the
late monarch. It Is not ki own wheth
er he left n fortune, but it Is suppose i
that he had consldeiable saving*, hav
ing lived economically during the last'
d.M-ode. It Is possible that ex-Queen
Natalie may aleo appear as an helresr.
Queen Draga was in rere.pt of 30.000
gulden monthly onl also had gre-it
ivlngs, which will be handed over to
pr thre* sisters.
AIin*>»t slmuitaneoulsy with the
butchery at the palace the troops en
deavored to arrest all the relatives of
the queen nnd those of the ministers
horn the conspirators disliked. Two
brothers of the queen, Lieut. Cols. Ni
kola and Nlkodern Lunjevlcs, were
d escorted by n detachment of
troops from their dwelling to the guard
room of the divisional commander.
They were evidently not suspicious of
their doom, and were lighting clgnr-
tes when they were shot dead by eight
tidier*.
There have been unpleasant evidences
of the public resentment against the
late royal couple. Pome persons even
spat upon the remains.
The autopsy held has proved thnt the
.te king received thirty shot wounds,
many of them deadly. Queen Draga
had numerous shot nnd sabre wounds.

Queen Dragh were burled during tho

The interment was carried out with
jmplete secrecy, between 1:20 nnd 3
clock this mornipg.
Col. Naumovlos, nlde-de-comp of the
late king, was hurled this afternoon..
The city is lavishly decorated with
flags nnd the national colors. All of
ficers yesterday removed Alexander's
cipher from the cockade of their caps.
The funeral occurred at 1:30 a. m.
The strictest privacy was maintained in
order to avoid hostile demonstrations.
Two coffins were brought In by serv
ants nnd were carried up to the room
where the bodies of the late king nnd
queen were lying The corpses were
then put In the coffin», and the latter
were placed In a hearse, which was
hurriedly driven to the old cemetery,

CHICAGO, June 12.—The strike in tho
hotels of Chicago, impending for tho
last three weeks, materialized today
and twenty-five of tho lending hotels
pf Chicago are badly crippled tonight
in all departments. All the hotels are
running, however, nnd tho proprietors
declare that the establishments will
remain open for business at any cost.
The complete list of hotels from which

Kaiser Hoff, Thompson's, Victoria,
Wellington, Lakolu, Chicago Bench,

There is every Indication that tho

hotel proprietors declare I hat tho de
mands made by the men aro unreason
able, nnd the unions clnlm to have not
been fairly treated *by the-proprietors
in that the proprietors agreed to treat
ns individuals with tho unions nnd hav
not done so.
The proprietors have ngreod to sub
mit nearly every point nt issue to

for higher wages and shorter hour*
must be granted before they will ar
bitrate anything, and Insist also upon
the absolute recognition of the union.
To this latter demand the proprietor*
*iy they will never agree so long as
The strikers maintain their present at

are that the strikers will be dlsap-'
