THE CLOSING SPEECHES.
Great crowds gathered about the court
house and hundreds We're unable to gain
entrance to the room where, at 9:30
o'clock, Commemorative Attorney
Franklin began the final argument for the
state against former Secretary of State
Caleb Powers, charged with completely
in the GOebel shooting.
During the presentation of the case by
Mr.. Franklin Defendant Powers sat as
usual, with his counsel. His face did not
change color as the attorney went
through the evidence and held up to the
jury the most important points against
the defendant Powers was faultlessly
dressed in light clothes and was an intent
listener to every word of the speaker.
Just behind him sat Mrs Henry Youtsey,
wife of one the alleged co-conspira tors.
Arthur Goebel occupied a seat with the
prosecution, and Senator HARRISON, the
successor of GOebel in the senate, and
his law partner sat near by.
Franklin said that admissions by Pow
ers showed him guilty Of treason even
prior to the murder of GOebel. Powers,
though he had taken an oath when sworn
in as secretary Of state that he would up
hold and defend the laws of the state,
had confessed on the witness stand that
he and those associated with him meant
to defy at least one of those laws, and
in furtherance Of that design he organized
band Of braves fer the purpose Of muir
der and intimidation. When both the
murder and intimidation had failed in its
purpose Powers and other had tried to
overthrow the state government The
spectacle Of an ex-governor Of the state
Tefering to Brown defending man
who had confessed as much as Powers
was both surprising ard humiliating.
