CALEB POWERS TRIAL
PROSECUTION WAS ALL IN ON SAT-
URDAY AND DEFENSE STARTS
TOMORROW
A SENSATIONAL STATEMENT
Councillors for Prosecution Say
They Have Clearly Fastened Guilt
Upon the Accused Man
The BULLETS Course.

GEORGETOWN, Ky, July 28.-The
prosecution in the trial of ex-Secretary
of State Caleb Powers, charged with be-
ing an accessory to the murder of VIII
liam GOebel, concluded its evidence in
chief this afternoon. The defendant will
take the stand on Monday and testify in
his own behalf. Three weeks have been
consumed in the prelimnaries attending
the selection of the jury and hearing the
evidence that has been introduced by the
prosecution 's-.-.:.... .-
GOLDEN ROSS-EXAMINED.
Golden resumed the witness stand at
$3.50, and Judge Sims began a severe
cross examination. Golden repeated the
story todd previously, of how he came to
be called as witness. He denied telling
his brotheI-in-law, POhn Siamper, that
he had been promised $500 or that he
could have 5000 in case of a conviction
of parties. He also denied that he had
ever said if he and Culton could get to-
gether they could convict all Of them.
Golden was kept busy for an hour or
more denying statements said to have
been made by him to persons who it is
supposed will be introduced by the de-
Tense to impeach his testimony
On redirect examination Golden said he
had been appointed by his brother-in law,
John Stamper, who told him he had
talk with Lawyer l.. f. Sinclair, now one
of Powers attorneys, and that Golden
could get $1,000 if he would leave the
state and not appear against Powers.
Witness said he refused to consider the
proposition He gave as a reason for not
going back to Knox county, after he
made confession. that his brothers, who
lived there, advised him to stay away, as
they believed he would be killed.
Robert Haslock, a gunsmith, gave eX-
pert testimony as to the bullet in the
block of wood cut from the blackberry
tree after it is supposed to have passed
through Mr.. GOebel's body. He pronOunc-
ed 1t a 3S-caliber metal patch bullet He
said it was copper filled and nickel plat

then told short conference, after which
Mr.. Franklin announced that the si.!e
would rest and asked that the jury Le

A STRONG STATEMENT.
Lawyers for Prosecution Consider
Their Case Made Out

FRANKFORT KY, July 2S.-The pres
ecution, through I. G. Campbell, gave
out the following statement tonight after
resting its case:
ut is proven that the shot came from
the Office of the defendant, Caleb Pow
ers.
First by direct testimony of two wit
nesses who saw the rifle when fired, and
by eight others who located the place of
firing by the sound.
THE BULLET'S COURSE.
Second, by the following facts: The
window sill from whence the bullet was
fired is thirteen feet nine inches higher
than the point where it struck into the
tree, distance. 197 feet The descent of
the bullet was such that il would cross
the spot where Goebel fell, fifty-one and
one-quarter inches above The pavement.
The autopsy found the point of entrance
in Goebers breast tifty-two and one-quar-
ter inches from the soies- of his feet: add
the elevation gained by the socks and
shoes you, get fifty-three and one-six-
teenth inches.
Third, the cartridge which was used
in killing GOebel was a metal, jacketed
loosely, called steel smokeless cartridges,
q kind not used by the militia of Ken
lucky. This fact is established by: ca
The defendant, Powers, asked Robert
NoakeS TO get him steel cartridges in
December of 1895; (B) Youtsey who had
the key to Powers office, did procure
from a gun store III Cincinnati steel
cartridges (so-called), 3S-55, on the sd
of January; CO. the bullet fired from the
office Of the secretary of state and found
imbedded in the tree. is a metal-iacketed
bullet, $3.50: Cd the size OF the opening
of the wounds of entra1ce and exit -vag
the same viz three-eisnihs of an inch
(SS calibeI). Had leaden bullet been
used the wound of exit would have been
larger; lE) that the cartridge used was
snlokeless is evidenced by the fact that

from whence the rifle was fired, none saw
smoke. Youtsey. a clerk and stenog-

AT SAND CREEK.

w. K. Edwards, who is in charge of OPP
erations at the McVey mine in Sand
Creek, Madison county, owned by DR..
Gregg of thisc city, is in Butte today. MI.
Edwards speaks very enthusiastically of
the mining outlook for thai district, and
believes that with intelligent n con-
sentative management many of the
mines now idle can be placed or a paying
basis.
1.-THE McVey mine is $50 feet in Depth"
said Mr.. Edwards. I'VE have a level in
400 feet on the west, and are now rails
ing in ore from the $50 to the $50. We
have Is inches of $40 ore and about two
feet of milling ore, which we run through
the 1O-stamp mill equipped with Whitley
tables, and from which we obtain con-
c%entrates valued at about 500 per ton.
1--WE ship about a carload of the smelt-
ing ore each week. We have a splendid
showing. The McVey has the greatest
depth Of n mine in the district, and the
ore body is permanent. The only change
in the character of the ore at depth is
that the ore runS from go to so ounces in
silver and about $40 in geld near the sur
face. and below 1t runs rom 80 to 100
ounces in silver and about s26 in gold"
Mr.. Edwards says that the Chile mill
is still closed down. but that the Chile
mine is working. Mr.. L. j. Browning
has charge of operations at the Chill for
the Badger-Butte Mining company Of
this city.

Outlook For States Production
Outside of Butte.
WILL NOT COME IN YEARS
There Are Several Promising Dis
tricts In Other Counties but
Depth Is Needed.

"Wha is the outlook for an Increased
copper production in Montana in the dis
trlcts outside OF Silver Bow County,
Queried an Inter Mountain reported to-
day, addressing ONE of the experts who
has been for years actively engaged IN
the search for new properties in the in
terest Of ,one Of the big mining companies.
"Well, the increase will not come for
some years. he replied. 1T takes a good
many years to develop a copper mine.
The Anaconda was opened up as early
ais 1879, but it did not figure as a producer
until along about 1885. Then it produced
but a small amount compared to its enor-
NOUS production of later years.
During the past few years Upper in
dications have been discovered in several
sections Of this state, notably in Madison,
! Meagher, Beaverhead, Missoula and Deer
! Lodge counties. They are all u~ndevelop-
| ed vet and il would be foolish to express
! an opinion as to their productiveness IN
| the future. The expert who q that
Butte would never produce enough cop
per to make a cow-bell, lived to see i
become the greatest copper camp on
earth. The experts never believed that
the Highland Boy in Utah would become
a copper rhine, vet it is now one OF the
biggest mines in that state.
1.-The MetAgher county copper mines are
being developed and are showing UP well.
In Madison county very little develop
ment has been o. on any Of the copper
bearing propositions. The same is true OF
Beaverhead county. Some copper ore has
been shipped from Missoula county to
Butte. This is probably the most prom
ising section of Western Montana for
the discovery of copper.
I'm the northern part of Deer Lodge
county, on the Big BEackfoot river. ex-
tensive development Is now In progress
to open up wait are considered good cop
per prospects. There are immense
'blowouts' Of copper ore but nj great
depth has vet been attained. Several
Butte and Helena people are expecldtng
considerable money in development work
A Salt Lake and Pittsburg company has
