In Muhlenberg County and Eleven Alleged Offenders Are Indicted.

Greenville, Ky., May 14. - The Muhlenberg Circuit Court adjourned after having been in session three weeks and two days. A number of civil cases were disposed of, and others were submitted and taken under advisement of the court. The following persons have been sentenced to serve terms in the penitentiary or House of Reform: Jack Dalton, forgery, 1 to 5 years; Claude Johnson, forgery 2 to 10 years; Orville Phelps, grand larceny, 1 to 5 years; Bud Dennison, manslaughter, 2 to 21 years; John Heath, manslaughter, 2 to 21 years; Chris Myers, malicious shooting, 1 to 5 years.

The grand jury returned forty-two indictments, eleven of which were against the so-called “Possum Hunters,” who are charged with the crime of banding and confederating together for the purpose of intimidating other persons. The names of those indicted are as follows:

Louis Roark, Elmer Hays, Tom Jackson, Ben Underwook, Floyd Grundy, Arthur Richardson, Henry Allen, Harry Paxton, Sam Snyder, Buck Perry and Jack Thomas.

Floyd Frundy is the person whom the Commonwealth had summoned before the grand jury, and who was committed to jail for three days because he refused to answer questions put to him by the grand jury. He finally talked, and was released. 

There have been no further acts of violence by the so-called “Possum Hunters,” and none is anticipated. Most of the persons indicated have been arrested and are making bonds for their appearance to answer the indictments at the next September term of the court.
