 Until Some Time Monday.

 0 Yesterday in Rebuttal

Georgetown, Ky, August 1.-The prose- cution did not conclude It's testimony in rebuttal this afternoon, but will do so Monday, and the indications are that the jury will be taken to Frankfort Tuesday. A large number of witnesses were heard today, most of them being introduced to contradict testimony of witnesses for the defense.
 The prosecution lays much store by the testimony of two witnesses who testified to seeing Caleb Powers with other leaders of the mountain crowd on the evening of January 25. The defendant himself had testified that he was i'll in his room all of that afternoon. Several other witnesses will be introduced Monday to further con tradict Powers on this point
 A number of Frankfort business men and citizens testified that the talk of more violence after the assassination of Gov ernor Goebel existed in the minds of those in the executive building, and that there was no need for the militia. Among those who so testified was Sheriff Suter, who said he swore in a posse of a dozen citi- zens, and that 1t would have been equal to the occasion had 1t not been blocked by the actions of Adjutant General Collier, who made the civil officers subservent to the military.
 The Evidence
 When court convened today it was with the prospects that the rebuttal evidence for the prosecution in the Powers case would be concluded some time during the day. persistent rumor that Youtsey might take the stand in rebuttal was de- nied by people sufficiently close to him to make the denial semi-official
 w. F. Grayot, Assistant State Auditor produced the books of the State Auditor in response to subpoena duces tecum to show what amount of the $100000 reward appropriated by the Legislature had been expended in the search for and prosecu- tions of those accused of the crime. The record showed that in all 5000 had been drawn.
 MT. Grayot also produced the record showing that w. H. Culton was paid his tull salary as clerk in the Auditors office for December and part of the month of January. This was done to contradict ex-Auditor Stone, who charged Culton with stealing $l,000, and who stated that he dis missed Culton and caused Auditor Sweeny to refuse to give him clerkship.
 D. r. Mayhew of Knox County said he saw Wharton Golden in the barber shop of Barboursville just before his confession. Golden did not display roll of money, oiu ooio holiiiuS dpout SOlnS to get part of the reward
 A. L. Reed, an atoorney of Laurel Coun- ty, corroborated statements of witnesses who testified that Goebel was to be killed and that Governor Taylor would pardon the assassin.
 Lieutenant Julian Kersey, of the Frank fort military company, testified in regard to the movements of the militia.
 stamper's Testimony Contradicted
 Hon. J. c. Cantrll further contradicted the testimony of Rev John Stamper, who on yesterday had denied several state ments alleged to have been made by him in regard to the truth of the confession of his brother-in-law, Wharton Golden.
 The attorneys for the prosecution with drew for a consultation at 3:15 p. m., and fifteen minutes later they reappeared.
 Commonwealth Attorney Franklin made a statement, in which he said the prose- cution had hoped to conclude its rebuttal testimony today, but that some minor new features had been injected into the case, upon which the State desired to introduce more proof, and he asked an adjournment till Monday for that purpose. He said the evidence for the State would all be in by Monday noon. The court granted the in- dulgence.
