BLOODSHED PREVENTED

Revolvers Were Drawn in a Kentucky Courtroom

 

    London, Ky., May 29- During the noon adjournment of court Sam Cash of Manchester, attorney for Jule Webb, now on trial for killing Chad Hall was attacked by George and Dock Hall, brothers of Chad, in the courtroom on account of dome statement made by Cash as to what would be proven in the case. Pistols were drawn and great excitement prevailed for a time, but cooler heads interfered and prevented bloodshed. When court reconvened Judge Tinsler ordered the sheriff to search everyone in the courtroom for arms and to let no one enter the room with arms.
