Panel in Marcum Case Un
able to Agree on Verdict.
MEN ARE OF DIVERSE OPINION.
Ton nro Said to Have Favored Ac ,

Jury Discharged This Morning ,
Jnokson. Ky , Juno 10. Spootnl to
ThoNowa : The Jutt Jury after being ;
out twenty two hourn , failed to ngruo
on n vordiot uud were this morning dis
charged. The fear of trouble botwoou
the two factions in oveitt nf n vordiot
was thereby averted , and Jackson has !
nssutuod n more peaceful state than dur
ing n number of days past.
Jacksou , Ky. , June 19. A expected
lioie , HID jury in the case of CurtU
Jell and Thomas White , charged with
murdering J , B , Marcutn , 1m * been
unable lo agree upon n verdict. It Is
Btatcd that at least two jurors are
holding out t ° r conviction , whllo the
others nro divided , moat of them fnvur--
Ing acquittal.
During this suspense there has been
intense anxiety about the court ho user
and throughout the town in discussing ;
what might lollow cither u verdict ot
guilty or of acquittal or of a compro
mise on Imprisonment , but the Indica
tions arc that thu Jury will finally re
port that ll had disagreed and ask to
bo discharged.
It Is claimed In that event that
there Is no such probability of blood-
Ehud and iurther acts of arson aa there
would bo in the o\eiil ol conviction ,
that theto would bo a general exodus
nf tiipmliorn iif tlio f'm'itwi > llf1nrKTlll
faction , the widows and orphans ot
victims and othcis and that thu. domi
nant faction would be Ictt without
formidable opposition in holding , the
town , ns well as the county office
hereafter. U is not expected that the
prosecution ior the murder of Mnr-
cum and others will stop with this
jury. Although the court has been
in session BOIUO weeks at great ex
pense to the county and also lo the
commonwealth , it is believed that
Stale Inspector Hlnes will make sucK
n report to the governor as to securer
other trials under different condKlonsJ
It Is icnmrked that the general exo *
dus that Is expected will take away
many of these who might otherwise
bo depended on as witnesses and Jur
ors. It is not llkoly' that the couiuy
will find soon another such witness as
B. J. Ewen , who has removed to Lex
ington , or another such prosecutor as
Commonwealth's Attorney Byrd , who
expects to locate at Winchester , Ky.
Business is practically suspended.
The reign of terror still continues ,
with all sorts of apprehension as to
the iuturo and no hope of any convic
tions under the present official condi
tions.
Tlio members of the Hargls faction
were almost Jubilant over the unoffi
cial reports fiom the Jury room. It
was claimed confidentially that ten of
the Jurors were firmly for acquittal
and that the other two were being In
duced to join them today In a vcrdlcc
of acquittal. It Is mentioned that all
of the men brought In for the panel ,
from which the jurors were selected ,
were brought In by deputies or elisors ,
* vho are connected with the dominant
faction , and that they can bo depended
upon for the result that is now antic
ipated.
Lexington , Ky. , Juno 19. Captain
Ewen announced that on the advice of
friends he would go to Frankfort as
soon as the Jackson jury returned a
verdict and lay all facts before Gov
crnor Beckham. Ewen would not give
out what he would toll the governor.
Men close to him soy It will reflect on
men high In official life in Brcathltt
county and may form the basis of war
rants for bribery.

lltia from Osbornc , Kan. , left this
morning with Dewey , McBrldo and
Wilson , who have been bound over to

Captain Cunningham said : "I am
going to Goodland and examine the
jail and if it should seem unwise to
put the prisoners there they will betaken
taken elsewhere. The feeling In Sher
man county is strong against the Dew
ey outfit and I do not intend to leave
thorn where there will bo the slightest
danger from mob violence. "

Dubuque , Juno 19. Governor Cum
mins , while holding the Waterloo , In
dependence and Maquokcta military
companies in readiness to proceed to

ing quiet , he would not bo justified in
ordering the militia forward until

tary aid. The Union Electric com
pany says It will make no further at
tempt to operate its cars until further
