MURDERED ATTORNEY'S STORY Marcum's Own Recital of the Efforts Made Against His Life, Told Be fore Him Tragie Death. J. B. Marcum, an attorney of Jackson, Ky., was assassinated in the court house of that town a few days ago. The astonishing lengths to which lawlessness may be car, ried when murderers are permitted to hold sway, is told in the follow'. ing recital of the efforts against his life told a few months ago by the man who was murdered. It will be seen that he is the third to fall by the assassin's hand in that lit tie town. That the rule of the savage is supreme in a section of this country is shocking. The in terview is taken from The Courier. Journal of Louisville. On Nov. 14, last, Mr. Marcum visited Lexington and at that time1 submitted to an interview, in which he graphically described the alleged plots against his life. His atory follows in fall as he ielated it: "I will begin my story with last March, when persistent rumors stated that Dr. Cox and I were slated to be assassinated. Dr. Cox and I discussed these rumois fre qusntly, and finally canwe to the couclusion that they were ground less. I went to Washington and stayed a month. While I was there Dr. Cox was assassinated. "I was attorney for Mose Felt ner. On the night of May 30, he came to my houte in Jackson and stated that he had entered into an agreement with certain officials to kill me and that his acccmplices were to be three men, wLoi he named. ie said that their plan was for him to entice me to my office that night and for him to waylaw me and kill me. He said they had provided him with a shot gun and with $35 to give me. He displayed the gun, which had never been shot, and also showed the money. I know that he did not previously have the money. FOUR RIFLES HIDDEN. "A few mornings later, Feltner toa me to the woods nearby and showed me four Winchester rifles, concealed there, and stated that he and three companions had been leaving themi there in the daytime and carrying them at night to kill me with. "Of course, he did not intend to kill me, but by pri tending that he would assassinate me, he said, these officials had guaranteed him immunity from punishment in the Fields case. And he continually led them oai in this belief to secure their protection, and all the time warning me of the plans to kill me.. "On the following morning I sent my wife and little boy by way of a deep ravine 200 yards from my house, in good rifle lange. This was the only place assassins could conceal themselves and -kill me at my home, for by this time f had ceased visiting my office, and their only chance was to kill me at my home. It was early in the morning, and when my wife and son arrived at the ravine four men carrying guns, ran away. My son recognized two of them, but did not recognize the other two, one of whom Feltner later said was him self. TRIED TO LEAVE JACKSON. "Finally I decided to leave Jack .son. In the early evening I went Ito the Arlington hotel with my wife and made arrangements to be rowed across the river to the tun nel early. the next, morning and board the train unobserved. Later in the night Feltner came to my room and stated that the party I had seen had told them that I was preparing -to leave town, and that certain officials thereupon placed four men at the depot, two men at the tunnel 'andl two men at the next railway station to kill me, I took his word and did not attempt to leave town. I sent the next morning for my wife and baby and carried the baby in my arms to my office and at noon from there to my home. I was later informed by Feltner that a party was wait ilg in ani upper room of a store to kill inn. He wanted to shoot me with a rifle, but others insisted that -he use a shot gun, saying that Dr. Cox had been killed with a shot gun. .After I passed by they ask Led the man with the gun why he did not shoot, and he answered that with a shot gun he would have killed the baby, but if they had Slet him have his way and been given ai rifle, he would have shot me through the head without en dangering the baby. "The night previous to my de. isin to lcave Jackson. my sister :ame to me and warned me that another plan had been formed to kill me. Her informant was Mose Feltner, who was engaged until a late hour in diecussing the best plan. When this meeting ad journed it was too late for him to come to my house, and so be went to my sister's house in sock feet and told her. AGAIN WARNED. "I was awakened at daybreak Sunday morning, June 15, by a messenger who had ridden 18 miles that night to bring me a note from a friend, who was also a friend of my enemies and was in their couicils. The note stat. that two men would come to towr the following Tuesday morning; that court would adjourn at n'Jon and that an attempt would be made to assassinate me in the af ternoon. I knew the men men tioned had been out of town, bui did not believe that court would adjourn until the following Satur day. I asked every member of the bar, and their unan mous opinion was that court would hold until Friday or Saturday, and this wat the opinion of the circuit cltrk. I sent my friends ahead Tuesday morning and slipped out to Dav' store, near the court house, they having reported that the way waE clear. I fou nd out that the mo-i selected to kill me had arrived in town. I went back home at 10 o'clock, fur it was then getting to( close to my funeral time. TheeAprf adjourned just as the clock struck 12 that Tuesday. I do not mean jo cast any refltetions upon th( judge. I kept to my room tbal day. "On another occasion *I slipped away to'visit my sisters house. Ob the way I mwt a sympathizer ol those whose enmity I had incurred I decided not to return and s'ni my two sisters and my wife ahead. They passed by a ravine on the way and there saw two men armed with guns. Later they turned out thir lights and observed one man take his station in front of my house and the other; both still armed, and this time dressed as women, below my window in an adjoining garden. A WARNING ON SUNDAY. "Last Sunday morning a messen. ger came to mny house at daylight. He had been sent by a neutral party who did not want me killed. He told me that two men hiad ar rived the night betore and were to have taken a front room in house near by and from there am, bush me. The next morning] observed a window raised about four inches and the curtain drawn in which position the window anc urtain have remained since. The men occupy rooms, and~I supposi the front room, in that house. have not even been on my porcl since I received the message .

Incidente and Comments ot More Than Common Iatere"t as Gatherea from the South Carolas Pred. That noble bird, the hen, which has been lately spoken of as a like ly and worthy successor to our na tional eagle, is just now getting in some funny work. These items speak for themselves and for the proud work of our candidate for national honors: "Mr. S. W. Plyler.". says the Rock Hill Journal, "has something of a curiosity in the shape of an egg-not much in the shape of an egg either, but it is a couple of eggs coupled together by a short neck. The shell of each of these eggs is partly soft. While neither egg is perfectly shaped, still they are enough so to call each a separate egg." One may readily see the in. creased value of this. hen as soon as she can be prevailed upon to pro vide these two eggs separately. Its two to one she can outlay any hen in the neighborhood. But she has not all the honors to her3elf. She has an artistic friend who insists on the decorative rather than the utilitarian in the refined art of egg-bearing. The Cherokee News devotes some space to the product of this friend: "Last Saturday Mr. R.. S. Moore of the Grover section 5h >wed uw a novel curiosity in the shape'y'f an egg. There was apietrie of a hen with a womanisitting on her back on one side which was very plain, and it is s::id to grow plainer all the time. On the other side there is a picturgof a chicken which is not so plain. 'Mr. Moore says they have tried to wash the picture off. but the more they washed the plainer the picture became." . A Chicago hen has laid an egg on the Eide of which she falls into prophecy and declares: "war 1904." So as between the setrs, the artists and the auti.-gg-suicide faction we may indeed"expect war to the hilt -of the egg-spon. Across the line in Notth Carclina the Waxhaw Ente-rprise has found an old piece of paper money. Money can't get so old 2,s to lose its re feehing effect on the newspaper eye. We quote in fall: "Mr. T. W. McKibben of this place is in possession of what is probably the oldest piece of paper money in this part of the country. It is 125 years old, having been printed in the year 1778. On one side is the following wording: "Ten Dollars, No. -. [The num ber is n t discernible.] State of North Carolina. This bill entitles the bearer to receive 10 Spanish milled dollars, or the value thereof in gold or silver, agreeable to a~n act of the assembly passed at Hilts boro the 8th day of August, 1778.' D.wn in the lower left-hand ea.r ner is printed, IPersecution the Rin of Empires.' On the right hand margin, 'Death to Counter feiters.' The signatures cannot be deciphered. It is quite a quaint piece of money." Bat the "spieler" is beginning to tell of the horticultural exhibit, which is in charge of the Johnson News, lie "spiels" the wonder thus: "This is a geranium plant he longing to the geranium specie gown and matured by the flower, skilled fingers of Mark Toney.

Bob Griffin, is in Greenville taking in the sights of the city and enjoyii.g the delightful summer breezes of this portion of the Sunny South. Travel-stained, dirt-begrimed and wearing an old gray Confed erate war coat and helmet, another relic of the conflict between the states, which he picked up at the Dallas reunion, this wanderer and inveterate nomad trudged into town bringing along with him his accustomed anon it of good cheer and his time honred and truly vagabond abhorenc" of all useful and industrious employment. Robert E. Griffin, the Prince of American Hoboes, is no stranger in Greenville. In fact, it would be difficult to find a village, town or city in this country where he is regarded as one. Wherever rail roads penetrate there Bob has been. From the bleak, wind-swept coast of Maine to the ever-green hills of the Golden Gate state, and from he stony waters of the Great Lakes to the sun-kissed shores of the Mexican gulf old Bob is. loved by the little children humorea by the women ands up with by the men. Hi1mless peregrinations ha.71ed him into every nonk and corner of Uncle Sam's territory and any old-place where he can hang his hat is home, sweet home, to hiin. Bob is now searcely as spry and active as he was a half century ago and for that reason he has within comparatively recent years 'ecn fined his travels chiefly to the South and more particularly to South Carolina and Georgia, along the line of the Southern Railway, from AtlaLta to Charlotte, with an oc casional peep into the lower section of this State. Every t.ow and then, however, he takes an overland leap and fetches up in some far western land, in order to renew acquain tances of old gay days, now dead and gone. When the reveille sounded for the last gatheringof the wearers of the gray at the Texas town Bob was there. He is distinctly a lover of nature, this veteran hobo, by general in lination, by heredity and by en ironment, and he loves to browse mong the clover and tho bees. Lots of times be forsakes the dust and din and roar of the perilous bumpers and cuts throngh the fields and meadows to commune with the birds and the flowers,.and to lie down among the daffodils and the daisies. And when he is satetl with the sweet breath of the earth he u'ill rush back among his fellow tramps, that vast army of unem ployed, ragged idlers and dream era. Upon reaching Greeuiville the other day,Be b ste -led for a friend's hou-e and there regaled his inner man with many tempting things. Ten he took a stroll down Main street to the postoffice, calling up on a number of the merchants whom he knew and had hobnobbed with years ago. Twenty-five years ago Griffin might have as, umed the danger of landing himself in the county poor house, but this day has long since passed away. He is safe iiow The police know him and the r ail road men, for the most part, are disposed to feign ignorance of his presence when lie crawrls on a blind baggage ox ensconces himisolf in an empty box car. - This remarkable of rem .rkable tran~ps never lets trouble trouble him; helis too much of a practical philosopher for that. He is just as high above the petty annoyanci s of this vain old world as a hawk on the wing. He is a charter mem ber of the "Broke Brigade." And everyone knows that when the la-t string snaps and a man goes broke he turns to thie woods or the sea. That's what B3ob did two score of years since, and even now, the woods and the waves will make way for him when he goes free. When it comes to tramps and tramp ing, Griffin is the choice spirit, the lord of the ascendant and the dom inating geniu'; he is sui generis, in other words, and to be appreciab ted one must see him and talk to Griffin's past is enshrouded in a cloak of impenetrable gloom. Tra. dition says that he first saw the light of day in Pickens county, but no one in Greenville can vouch for the truth of the statement. About twice a year he strikes this city on his rounds, tarries a few days and is one, e can always count on arr appetizing hand-out at nearl3 any back door of the city, and he generally takes his departure hence with a full departmeit of the in terior. But old Bob is on the downward path of life now; his long and event ful career is swiftly drawing to an end. He won't call at many more back doors or cling on to many more bumpers or court many more cross-ties before he is called upon to take his last and final journey. And wheu he does lie down to eter nal sleep he will be sorely missed by thousands of little children from one end of the nation to the other, whom he has amused and entertained with delightful tales in wonderland. Bob Griiotha# is niis name. Ask, any little girl or boy about Bob Griffin, the tramp. They all know him and love him in spite of his shambling unconth figure, his dirt and his rags. SPAIN KELLY WAS RESOLVED TO SLAY. Terrible Tragedy on a Public Highway la the Country. W. E. Creech of Bishopyille was killed by Spain Kelley of Lee county on the evening of the 7th instant, on the public highway leading from Osmden to Bishop. ville, about ten miles from the for mer place. returning from Camden, driving a buggy, Mr. Howard Singeton be. ing with him. While going up a hill near the Lee county line they met Mr. Kelly in a two-horse bug. gy driven by a negro boy. Kelly evidently did not recognize Creech until he was nearly past him. As soon as be did, however, he picked p a pistol lying beside him and ired three shots in rapid success ion which entered Mr. Creech's back. Mr. Singhet-- got out of the buggy and was followed by Creech, whoe horse took fright and bolted, whereupon Mr. Creech ran up the road to a buggy driven by Mr. King, which was going tow irds BishopviTle. As Creech ran up the road Kelly, who had in the rantime gotten out, seized a ouble-barreled breech-loader from As buggy and aimed it at him, but iugleton stepped in front of the Inuzzle of the gun and Creech eached the buggy in safety and was driven off at a rapid pace. K~elly attempted to follow them with his teamu, but the pursued sad made such headway that he realized he could not overtake them. He thereupon unhitched one of his hysf s and jumping on its back, armed with his breech, loader, galloped after the buggy overtaking it after it had passed the Lee county line. Kelley fired three more shots, killing Creech. It is rumored that this act on Mr. Kelley's part was in conse quence of an irremediable wrong done by the decer sed to a member of the former's family. The latest report alleged that the sheriff of Lee county was sarcing fur Keiley. Mr. W. E. Creech, a North Caro linian by birth, was a partner of the Bishopville branch of Mr. Geo. T. Little's Camden livery stable. For several years previous to his departure for Bishopville the de ceased was emnployed by Mr. Little in Camden and here bore the rep utation of being a peaceful and quiet citizen. ANOTHER AcCoUNT. Bishopvulle, May 7.-This town was shocked this morning to hear of the tragie death of W. E. Creech, who was shot to death yes terday evening by Spain Kelley. Mr. Creech was returning from Cmden in company with H. H. Kine and Howard Singleton. About 12 miles from this place they were met by Kelley, who wa. riding in a buggy, accompanied by a negro and leading another horse.. As he came opposite to Greech and Singleton, who were riding to gethr, Kelley drew his double. barrelled gun from under the bug gy seat and aiming his gun at Creech said: "I have been hunt. ing you for 48 hours." He then fired, but the negrc knocked up the barrel and the load went over the top of the buggy. Creech and Singleton then jumped out and the horses ran away. Kel ley fired again, the load strikint Creech in the side and arm. King then caught Creech and pulled hin into his buggy, driving rapidly away.. Kelley mounted the horse he was leading and rode after the re. treating men. King. seeing thai Kelley was fast approaching, whip ehis horse into a run and thu pace was kept up for more than two miles. Coming opposite the house of Mrs. Sallie Boykin, Creech begged King to stop as he could go no fur ther. They drove, into the yard, Kelly following. King pleaded with Kelley not to shoot again as the man was dying. Kelley rode up to the buggy and fired twice with his revolver, killing Creech instantly. Neither Creech nor the two men with him were armed. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that the deceased came to his death by means of ganshot wounds at the hands of Spain Kelley. Kelley has not yet been appre hended as the-theriffhas been ab. sent on businear-forsevera- days The cause of the shooting is a mystery to everybody here .and no motive can be -assigned for the bloody deed. Mr. Creech was manager of the livery stable here of the firm of Creech & Little. He had made many friends since his residence here and was a highly respected young man. HAD NOT WRONGED KELLEY. Further information in regard to the shocking tragedy was brought to the town. He stated to a re porter of The State that the entire town is in gloom, and ,practically all work has nded and stores cIosed. Both of rinci pals in the awful affair were pc lar ii the town. It is said that with his dying breath Creech de clared his innocence of any wrong toward Kelley. The body of the dead man was taken to Tennessee last, night by Mr. J. B. McLaughlin, a lawyer of that place. Young Kelley is said to be a man of quiet demeanor and well educated, having attended the grammar schools in Bath, England. His father is also a man of refne. ment, -and was at one time the champion c:icketer of England. The State's informant says that Kelley is one of the dommission to J adjust the debt between the county of Lee and the old counties from which it was made, and is a mem ber of the legislature. In this cone neetion, however, it shopuld be' stated that the member of the leg islature is B. F. Kelley, while the ispatches declare that Spain Kel ley killed Creech IThe escape of Mr. Howrard Sin-. gleton is said to be remarkable, for he received but one slight wound1 in the hand. The horse which he w'as driving was struck by six buckshot and the buggy was rid died. Kelley is yet a fugitive from the officers of the law, but many people think that he will surrender himself. Mr. W. D. Trantham, a leading lawyer of Camden, stated last night that he knew Creech very well. The latter was about 32 years of age, a splendid jadge of horses and1 a mani of pleasing personality. In Camden, Creech was regar ed as a man of blameless life. Mr. Trantham at that .time did not know which Kelley had done the shooting.-Columbia~ State.
