EVIDENCE AGAINST POWERS
The Excitement At Fever Heat and the
PubIle OnIy Needs the Slightest In-
eeutiye to Form a Mob.

FRANKFORT. KY. March 25.-The
preliminary examination OF Secretary
Of State Caleb Powers, charged with
abettlng the assassination Of william
Goebel, began today before Judge
Moore. The mountainsers failed to
appear and no disorder occurred.
seventy-fye extra police officers and
deputy sheriffs guarded the outer en-
trance to the courthouse while a file
OF soldiers stood at the doors and pass
ed on the credentials Of persons enter
ing the room. The general public was
excluded. Lexington and Winchester
militia companies. armed with Win
cheSters. were scattered throughout
the various rooms.
Judge Moore convened court at 10
o'clock. The prisoners. the republican
secretary OF state. Caleb Powers, w.
II. culton and John Davis we're brought
into the courtroom and took seats by
their counsel. The commonwealth wit
nesses were called. numbering 20. The
name OF Sergeant Golden was not in
the list. Ex-Governor Brown read the
warrant against Powers, which charged
Powers with being an accessory to the
murder Of Goebel Brown asked for
dismissal Of the defendant on the
ground that the warrant was defective
In not stating that the crime was COM
mitted in Franklin county and did not
show the offense to have been COM
mitted in Kentucky. Judge Moore
overruled the objection on the form Of
the warrant.
The Witnesses today Included War
den Eph LGlIzrd Detective Doc. Arm
strong. Sheriff Bosworth OF Fayette
county, who arrested Secretary Powers.
Captain John Davis, and Silas Jones,
who is now under bonds charged with
completely in the murder.
The testimony tended to show that
the shots came from that section OF the
executive building in which Secretary
Powers office is located, although no
one swore that the shots were fired
from the secretary's office. The strong
est evidence, perhaps. was given by
Silas Jones, who was in Governor Tay-
lor's ante room when the shooting took
place. II was his impression that the
shots were fired from the executive
building and he thought from the cor
ner of the building in which Secretary
Powers office is located.
Did you see any one try to open
Caleb Powers doOr?" asked Attorney
Polsgrove-
Yes. l saw a man with sandy whis-
kers trying 20 open his door. He struck
1t with a hatchet," replied Jones.
On cross examination Jones said he
saw Powers leave his office during the
morning for Louisville This was pre-
Tious to the shooting. No evidence was
adduced today tending to show that the
defendant was implicated in any con-
but the fact brought out that
r. w. Golden, who is said to have
made a confession, would be put on the |
witness stand before the hearing ends.
An incident occurred during the after
noon thai showed how people are pre-
pared for emergencies. A soldier drop
ped his revolver on the stone tagging
md it exploded In an instant every
nan in the crowded courtroom was
m his feet, fully third of them with
heir hands on their rear pockets.
