pie to Frankfort. He had no recollsc-
ton of anything being said concerning
the suspicious actions which Golden
had referred to and was certain noth-
ing Of the sort was said. At La Grange
the party heard that Goebel had been
assassinated and that the shot had
been fired from the second or third
story OF the executive building. Powers
continued: I'VE went on to Louisville,
but as the assassination Of Goebel had
upset our plans we of course abandoned
the idea of bringing more men to
Frankfort" Witness said the state

when told of the shooting was absolute
ly false.
Witness said he never heard any sort
