Jett and White Found Guilty in Marcum Murder
In Cynthiana Kentucky the jury sentenced Curtis Jett and Tom White to life imprisonment for the assassination of Attorney James B. Marcum in Jackson. The murder followed a long local feud between factions. Ewen testified the pair killed Marcum and the court heard about threats, a burned hotel, and a $4,000 subscription reward. Jap King secured the life term as others favored death but chose life to avoid a hung verdict. The defense may seek a new trial.
