Mis Memory and Treachery Tie Hargis Trial to Testimony
In Beattyville Kentucky on July 12 the trial of ex Judge Hargis and ex Sheriff Callahan centered on sensational testimony about attempts to influence witnesses. Mose Feltner claimed Hargis and associates urged him to flee and later to Ohio, while Asbury Syker testified Hargis tried to hire him to kill Lawyer Marcum. The defense sought to discredit Curt Jett who warned of payoffs to retract his confession, as Jett and the commonwealth clashed over coercion.
