POINT AGAINST POWERS,
Ruling of Court In Famous Trial at
Georgetown.

Georgetown.
Georgetown, KY, Aug. 3.-Judge
Cantrill in the Powers trial has re-
fused to allow the admission as evi-
dence of the resolutions adopted by
the meeting of mountain men in front
of the capitol at Frankfort few days
before the assassination of Goebel.
The point is of Importance because
of the contention of the defense that
the gathering of the armed noun
taineers was purely for the purpose Of
petition and that no violence was in
.nded
The incident occurred during the
examination of Stephen G. Sharpe, OF
Lexington, who IVES chairman of the
mountaineers' meeting. He presented
a copy of the resolutions and passion
ate speeches were made by the counsel
on both sides in argument for and
against their admission.
Sharpe. during his testimony, said
he told Gov. Taylor aud Gen. Collier
before Jan. 80 that he had been warn
ed by democratic friend to stay
away from Frankfort, as the parties
pushing the gubernatorial contest had
1000 rifles there and were ready to
use them. The witness was in Gov.
raylor's Office within five minutes
after the shooting. Taylor asked him
to take charge and prepare to defend
the building. He did so, giving or
ders not to permit the arrest OF any
one on the capitol grounds. He had
charge of one squad of armed men
and Berry Howard had charge of an
other squad.
Col. G. C. Mengel, commander of
the 1st regiment, Keltucky state
guard, produced two kilograms re-
ceived at Louisville on the day of the
Goebel shooting. at 2 p. M, contain
ing only the words '.All right" and
signed ID. 4. Collier. adjutant general;
also letter from Collier explaining
that the words ''All right" meant for
the witness to come to Frankfort and
bring a regiment and Gatling gun.
The witness produced orders signed
by Gov. Taylor for the movement of
the regiment 10 Frankfort. He said
he couldn't explain why the order was
issued on Jan. IS, the date it bore.
and not executed until the 30th of
that month. In the order Taylor di-
rected him to obey ''all orders and
signals" given him by Collier.
