Almost three years after the shooting of at Town Marshal Thomas Cockrill was not of guilty Jackson, a verdict returned here on Thursday In the case of Judge James Hargis, the first charged of those who were jointly with that murder, and another chapter In the famous Breathitt county feuds annals was concluded. On June 21, 1904, Cockrill was shot In the court house at Jackson, dying later at Lexington, where be was taken for medical attention, and during swore the trial several witnesses that Judge Hargis, hls brothers, and Sheriff Ed Callahan had entered Into a murder conspiracy, promising Immunity to any one who would shoot Cockrill, Dr. B. D. Cox and J. B. Marcum, all three of whom have since died by shooting. The defense, however, presented testimony tending to disprove the conspiracy charge, and Judge Hargis, testifying In hls own behalf, denied all connection with tbs shooting. Curt Jett, who confessed to killing Marcum, for which he wa3 given a life sentence, was a witness against Judge Hargis.
