Curtis Jett Will Be Placed on Trial
Next Monday.
Cynthiana, Ky., Sept. 9. - When the case
against Curtis Jett for the murder of Town
Marshal Jim Cockrill, of Jackson, was called
here Tuesday, the commonwealth answered
ready, but asked a continuance of a day.
None of the outside attorneys for the
defense had arrived.
When Jett was
brought in Attorney Blanton, for the
defense, filed a demurrer, asking that the
indictment be quashed. Commonwealth's
Attorney Byrd objected to the demurrer, and
asked that the case be tried at this term of
court.
Judge Osborne
overrulled the special demurrer, and
Attorney Blanton then filed affiddavits
supporting his motion to have the indictment
quashed on the ground that this court had no
jurisdiction to try the case, as the
defendant had been tried and convicted at a
special term of the court.
Judge Osborne
did not think the grounds in the affidavit
were sufficient for a postponement, and said
the case would have to be tried at this
term. He set it for next Monday, and
ordered a special venire of jurymen from
Robertson, Nicholas and Pendleton Counties.

The Cynthiana Log Cabin tells of a resident
of Pendleton county having his pocket picked
of $148 by a fortune teller connected with
the Robinson circus, and says that skin
games and sure thing gambling devices were
as thick as fleas on the monkeys. It was
the same way in Paris, although we have not
heard of any large sums being lost. To show
that the circus proprietors themselves in
league with the swindlers, a prominent
attache of the circus called at The News
office on the day that they exhibited here,
and after asking if there was anything he
could to in the way of giving extra tickets,
etc., requested that if they should happen
to get into any trouble he would appreciate
it as a favor if The News would refrain from
"roasting" the show.
