ARGUMENT tb BEGUN Scott Jackson Case Will Soon Go to I the Twelve Good Men, BELIEF THAT HE WILL BE HANGED —.—_— ~ . Feeling I< Bitter Agnliwt the I’rlsom r and No Telling What May Happen Should tlie Jury DHagi'ee Only Ono | WltiieH* l'*o<l Yesterday Date Set For •Wailing’* Trial I* May 10. Newfodt, Ky., May 9. —The end of the Scott Jackson trial is drawing near. The argument was begun this morning, | Now that the case is about over undone I cau consider what has been proved, it l seems that the pre]H>ndqnaice of evi- | deuce is against the prisoner, and it is I ! believed that the jury will find him ; guilty and sentence him- to be hanged. I I If there should be. a disagreement of the | ; jury worse things are liable to happen. | I The temper of the people in Newport ar [ present is hot, and the feeling, against Jackson and Walling is still very bitter. I | Besides the fact of the murder, the feel- j ing of the people here is indicated by a statement made by a lady of high social , position who, the case, | said: “We feel that the state of Kentueky has been insulted by these men. ' | Kentucky is not a bad state, in spit" of ! the jokes about it. but we don't want ' people to think they can come into our ■ state and commit crime without being • punished.” An incident that indicates the temper ' of the people happened when John Sewi ard, the dye-whiskered detective, who : I is boarding at a place called Herman's i hotel, started to go there in company i | with some woman. A crowd of men 1 gathered, hooted and jeered at him, called him “perjurer,” “liar” and other names and finally pelted him with rotten eggs. He ran into the hotel, covered with dirt and eggs. He begged tim j bartender to hide him, fearing that he i might be lynched. One Witness Examined. | Colonel Nelson said: “Your honor, we had intended to have introduced Dr. Gillespie on on? question. 1 have a tele- • gram here staring that Dr. Gillespie I cannot come. We do- not care about him, and.the commonwealth rests.” “The coiiifbmiv. ealth lio - concluded, Colonel Crawford.” said Judge Helm. ’ “Your honor,”' said CMonel Crawford, “understanding that rhe comnio;:1 wealth was to inthsince one witness. I I made arrangements for my witnesses to be here about 10 o'clock. ■ one or two to introduce—only, one that I really care ahythiiiir about, I will telephone to Cincinnati for him at once. ” i “All right,” said Judge Helm. “The ! court will wait 10 minutes for you.” i It was much longer than this before i the wituessjippeared.

Bin. at .th? close of all tla- contests, < n the final flay ■ f the festival, tlie much coveted prizes were distributed. Into tlie altis at early mornv ing streamM-lhe long, joyous procession, headed by ’he judges, the religious and civil authorities, and the public guests, escorting the now brilliantly clad athletesand victorrous horses bedecked with flowe.rs. The song they sang was.a song of victory by Archilochus, which began: “Hail to thee, powerful Hercules, conqueror in the games, and to thee also, lolaus, both lamed for the spiear! Tenella, tenella! All hail to the victor!’-’ A little boy froip the priestly class had already cut with a golden knife some bfanimes from the olive tree planted by Herculi s, and crowns made from these brancb.es bad been exposed in the temple of Hera upon a beautiful chryselephantine table made by Colotes. The crowns wore then brought to the temple of Zeus, where, before the representatives of all Greece, the judges, clad in purple, crowned the heads of the victorious athletes. This Olympic crown, as the supreme reward of Greek ambition, is well. ejpn ssi'd in the story of Diagoras. Him ■••• I- a victor in the games,, he returned in his old age to Olympia with his two sons. Both bore off a prize, und them ran and caught. t&eir father on their shoulders as the crowd cf pilgrims jjelted thera with flowers. “Die, Diagoras, ” they cried, “for thou hast nothing more to live for!” With a sigh of joy the old man expired. The crowning of Olympia did notend the victors’ glory. Their statues were made by tli»? most famous sculptors, their- . portraits painted by the most skillful ar s, their deeds- glorified in verse. T..-y w<-re feasted and maintained nt p..blm expense, received seats i f honor at th tneater and were cherished as g ids in ' .? hearts of their countrymen. As Pi- Inis well expressed it, “Ho that overpemeth hath, because- of the games, a swe t tranquillity.throughout. Lis l:i I'<T vi r:: re.
