At the afternoon session Miss Ella
Smith of Barhourville told of a con-
versation between John Powers ard
herself on Jan. 16. They were regret
ting the COlson-Scott tragedy, which
happened at Frankfort that day, and
Powers said there would be more blood
shed at Frankfort if Goebel was seat
ed. Miss Smith was surprised at this
statement and said:
"Oh. Mr.. Powers. you would not be
willing to kill him, would you?" to
which Powers replied that he would.
James Fletcher Of Knox COUNTY teS-
titled to having heard John Powers say
in December that Taylor had been
elected governor. and if any - Tort was
made to count him out GOebel would
never be seated.
The prosecution in the morning asked
for and was awarded a subpoena duces

of state and the adiutant general re-
Quiring them TO produce the executive
journal and other records in court.
cts Time For the Shooting"
Editor Pat Macdonald of Frankfort
testified that on Jan. 50, a few minutes
prior to the shooting, he saw w. H.
CuItOn and another man, who he
thought was State Inspector Lester,
standing at the point where GOebel fell
shortly afterwards. On the Saturday
prior to the assassination Macdonald
said he had seen a man running down
the steps from the legislative halls.
who, calling to a crowd of mountain
men, said: Go and get your guns; it's
time for the shooting to begin"
Representative Berry (Republican)
had just been unseated. The witness
did not know the man who kyas talking.
Ed Porter Thompson, jr., was stand
ing on the street near the opposite side
of the executive house, when the shot
was heard. and saw GoebeI fail. The
shots sounded as if they were fired
from the executive or legislative build
ing.
r. P. Bergman of Frankfort was the
last witness of the morning. His testi-
mony did not elicit anything new.

Fireman Badly Hurt.

Owing to the bursting of a steam pipe
and the fact that Wiseman was thrown
against the furnace door. where he was
held fast by the coal that was elected
from the tender, the fireman's injuries
are of a painful and serious nature, with
about even chances for recovery.

being parbOiled, his head practically de-
nuded of hair, while the flesh upon his
shoulders and arms peeled off in sicken-
ing strips upon the removal of saturated
clothing Wiseman also was burned and
scalded in fashion that led those who
assisted him from the wreck to believe at
the time that he would not live to be
brought into Salt Lake. His injuries also
are confined to the upper portions Of his
body and head.

We think Gov McSweeuev has
polled very near his full strength
in the first primary and that he
will wish after the second primary
he had adopted a policy in enforc-
ing the dispensary law which
would have made him fewer
friends in Charleston. His large
vote there would seem to verify
the charges made against him by
Gary, Patterson and Whitman and
which he answered by saying he
was doing the best he could for
the law could not he enforced
there. Voters, elect man Gov
crnnr who says the law can be on
forced there rs we'll as in other
parts of the State, a man who only
received 81 votes out of total
of 4,064 in Charleston, a man
who will neither feel nor be under
any obligations to whiskey seller

The consensus of opinion is that
Col Hoyt's chances for election in
the second primary are fine. The
large vote of McSweeney 2,9I7
to 81 for Hoyt in Charleston,
proves the assertions of Gary and
Patterson from every stump in
the State that the Governor is not
enforcing the dispensary law there.
The bulk of the votes which they
received were no doubt given
them by men who knew the con-
dition of things in Charleston and
were polled as a protest against
McSweeney for his farcical pres
tension at enforcing the law.
McSweeney has made friends in
Charleston where 900 people are
said to be openly selling whiskey
in violation of law, without fear
of molestation, and is not the vote
of Gary, Patterson and Whitman,
who attacked the Governors ad
ministratien in severest language,
evidence that their vote is antago-
nistic to him. We do not see
how they can now vote for Nc
Sweeney when Col Hoyt is
pledged, in case the Legislature
does not eliminate the beverage
feature of tho dispensary law, to
enforce it in the city of Charles,
ton just as it is enforced in the
country towns of the State.
