h. Gov. Roosevelt has removed
from Office Col. Asa Bird Gardi-
ner, attorney of New York
county. When Boss Croker
made his bluff about throwing
seut election judges who didn't
count up the result to the ex-
.pectat tons of voters, his sugges-
sstions Of lawlessness were en-
,dorsed BY New York City, and
county officials. Gov. Roose-
welt at that time called the at
sstention of officials to the
threats. Most of the officials
took proper action, but Gardiner
ignored the communication of
the governor, and made state
ments through the papers tend
ing to encourage lawlessness.
The governor believes the
INA tier was serious enough to ell
title the Col. to retire to private
life, and has therefore issued an
order removing him from Office.

DEFENDING POWERS.
Case Of the Accused Stated by Attor-

case Of the Accused Stated by Attor-
ney Faulkner.
Georgetown, Ky, July 30.-In the trial
# Caleb Powers, charged with being an
accessory before the fact to the murder
of William Goebel, the defense opened its
side of the case with a motion for per-
amptory instructions for verdict of ac-
luittal. The motion was submitted with
out argument and was promptly over
ruled by the court.
Attorney Faulkner stated the case of
the defense. He said the defense will
show the contests over the state offices
were not tried on judicial lines, but on
partisan basis, and that politics was re-
ponsible for the present prosecutions
He intimated that the prosecution knows
The identity of the assassin, but has con-
eealed him. 1t will be admitted, he said,
that Caleb Powers and Charles Finley
organized and brought to Frankfort the
crowd of mountain men who arrivea
there Jan. 25, but that this was only to
petition the legislature and not to intimi-
date that body.
He declared that the men who COM
posed the mountain army were not bad
as charged by the other side,
and he charged also that the Democrats
had large bodies of men in Frankfort to
back up the contestants.
He said that Powers had in his pocket
at the time of the killing the keys to his
office, which the prosecution alleges had
been given to Youtsey; that Powers
never even conferred with Youtsey, Berry
Howard, Jim Howard, Green Golden or
Dick Combs, and that Jim Howard was
not on the capitol grounds until after the
killing. 1t would be proved, he claimed,
that Weaver, one of the main witnesses
for the prosecutions, was never in Frank
fort until Sunday, that Finley Anderson
and Robert Noakes testified for money,
md w. II. Culton in the hope of obtain
ing immunity from prosecution, and
that Wharton Golden's evidence will be
contradictea.

oassador visited the palace of the Elysee
and officially announced the death OF his

preston of the unanimous indignation of
my country against the odious attempt
which has taken from Italy it's generous
chief. I beg your majesty to accept this
expression of my deepest sympathy, and
place at the feet of her majesty Queen
Margherita my respectful homage and
my sincere condolences.

until after the obsequies. The flags on all
public buildings are draped. The Italian
embassy and the Italian building at the
exposition are in heavy mourning.
