CJLToNs STORY IS UNsHAKEN
The Part the Fugitive Pretender
Taylor Took With
Mountaineers.

Georgetown. KY, July 20.-The
rigid and severe cross examination OF
the defense yesterday was unable to
shake the testimony of W. H. Culton,
given the day before for the prosecu-
ton in the case of former Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, charged with
completely in the murder of Gov
elect Goebel. Culton was was made
the object of a searching cross fire by
the attorneys for the defense, who
sought TO show intimacy between the
witness and the attorneys for the
prosecution and to point out differ
ences between Culton's testimony in
the preliminary hearing and in the
present trial. Silas Jones, who was
IN the state house at the time Goebel
was killed, said he thought the shots
came from the office of the secretary
of state and gave testimony concern
ing the action of Gov. Taylor at that
time. saying the governor reprimand-
ed him for being there unarmed.
In regard to the preparations for
bringing the big crowd of mountain
GERS to Frankfort, Culton said Powers
told those in the conference that in
the event of any trouble growing out
of the importation of the men the
leaders would be indicted for conspir-
acy, and asked if they were willing to
take the risk. Culton said he boarded
the mountaineer excursion at Rich
mond. He said Charles Finley had
told him To go there and come down
with the men, as Powers was hot
headed. After the assassination.
Powers came to witness and told him
to write to the parties who were in
the conference and tell them they had
better be careful and do no talking, as
they were apt to be implicated in the
murder. Witness told him it would
be dangerous to write, and Powers
said he would do it himself. The
prosecution produced box of cart
ridges for witness to inspect. He
said the cartridges were like those
Youtsey showed him when talking
about killing Goebel.
Outlaw Badges Bore TayIor's Picture.
Powers gave the witness badges for
the mountain men who remained at
Frankfort. They were issued so that
III CdoC Va Iucl
guish their own men from others.
The badges bore a picture of Gov.
Taylor.
Witness said that while in Jail with
Powers at Frankfort Powers begged
him not to 60 on the witness stand in
the hearing of his (Culton's) motion
for bail. Witness told Powers he
wanted to get bail, as his family
needed him. Powers told him he
would see to it that his family was
provided for if witness would agree
not to 60 on the stand. Witness de-
clined to do so.
Prior to the shooting the witness
was in Gov. Taylor's office. The gov
ernor asked him why he was not in
the house lobby. The witness replied
that ne did not wish to go up there as
he was not armed.

inside the main hallway of the execu-
tive building.
Fetter was asked if he had seen the
peint in the state house yard marked
as the place at which Goebel fell and
whether in his opinion it correctly
marks the spot. The witness said he

powers and generous sympathies of Har-
riet, yet running through his narrative
Of the life of her brother James is a
thread of protest against the injustice
which she, perhaps without intent, did
her family and particularly James.
Mr.. Jackson calls Harriet Martineau
"a child Of today working brayeIy for
the future, but with little reverence for
the past. James has a broader outlook,

venturous climbing, yet with precious
stones for accessories, the strength in no
wise impaired by the beauty which
adorns it,
DR.. Martineau was a great theologfan,
a noble preacher. and teacher, and Mr..
Jackson's record of his life and of the
far reaching theological movement of
which he was the leader is a faithful
study. The biography shows great
amount of research and care, and that
the work is adequate is evidenced by the
fact that a third edition is in preparation

"A loyal Bostonian, speaking of his city
during the Spanish-American war, when
the air was filled with wild r11rnors of
the descent of the Spanish fleet, on the
New England coast cities, said, Destroy
Boston? No, Boston cannot be destroyed
Boston is a state of mind"
The superb assurance of the answer is
characteristic of a Bostonian's pride in
his birthplace, pre-eminently the historic
city of America
Mr. brakes "OId Landmarks of Bos-
ton" was first published in 1872, and at
that time the poet Longfellow and John
G. Palfrey, the New England historian
expressed their appreciation of the ex-
tent aud accuracy of it's information
Since then Mr.. Drake has spent much
time in accommodating materials for a
thorough revision of the work The pres.
ent edition IS his appeal to the histori-
cal conscience" The new. generation of
Bostonians finds it hard to realize and
fully appreciate old condi tons. The
Boston of fifty years ago, with its In
olan summer atmosphere of the past is
almost obliterated by the great changes
IN the physical aspects of the city
wrought by the leveling of Fort Hill,
