ed almost as much expense as general
election. The poorer counties could not
have stood the drain and / cheerfully
shoulder my share of the blame in hav-
ing the bill amended in committee SO as
to exempt the counties and apply only
to Baltimore City. Then the bill was
referred to the City delegation and there
it met its quietus, and there Baltimore
City should attach the blame if it want
ed the Act. Moreover, the advocates Of
the bill were satisfied to have it sent to
the City delegation.

HE SMELLED SMOKE.
Supposed to Be From the Gun
That Killed GOebel.

Georgetown, KY, Aug. THE prose
cution in the Powers case was today
granted a subpoena duces tecum on
State Auditor Coulter requiring him to
bring his records into court. This is done
to contradict the testimony of ex-Audi-
tor Stone who testified that he discharg-
ed w. H. Culton in December and charg-
ed him with stealing $1,000 The prosecu-
ton expects to show by the record that
Culton was paid his salary in both De-
cember and January and by other wit
nesses to prove that since that date
Stone recommended Culton to various
people as being entirely trustworthy.
The defense asked and was granted a
forthwith attachment aginSt E. E.HOgg,
Culton'S brother-in-law and attorney
who had been subpoenaed by failure to
appear as a witness.
W. J. Lewis, of Frankfort, was the
first witness heard today. He said that
GOebel fell at least ten feet from the
spot marked by the prosecution as the
point.
George L. Barnes, who was clerk in
the state auditors office said that ON
the day of the shooting he was at the
capitol grounds and heard several per-
sons say the guilty parties were being
concealed in the executive building and
1t ought to be blown up. Barnes said
that after he went back into the exec
utlVe building, he Smelled smoke which
he supposed was the result of the shots.
He saw Whitaker arrested by a party
OF citizens. They took several pistols
from him. Prior to the ssassination
witness saw a Marlin rifle in the vault
at the auditors Office. 1t formerly be-
longed to Henry YOutSey, but at the time
of the shooting it belonged to Frank
Roberts, who has since been appointed a
clerk IN the census bureau at Washing
ton He does not know where the rifle
IS now Witness talked with Roberts
about the disappearance of the gun but
the court ruled that he could not detail
the conversation, neither Powers nor
4outsey being present when the CONVEX
SatiOn occurred.
