LETTER OF CALEB POWERS.
Makes Mysterious Remark About
Getting Taylor Into Line.

Georgetown, Ky, July 1.-THE trial
Of Former Secretary of State Caleb
Powers, charged with being accessory
to the Goebel murder, was resumed at
$3.50. Monday is. county court day in
Scott county and hundreds of farmers
from this and adjoining counties are
here, but there was no excitement.
A squad of burly deputy sheriffs still
remain on duty at the courtroom door
and search all persons entering the
room to prevent anyone entering with
pistols.
A letter signed by Caleb Powers, in
which the expression was used: II have
had a hard time getting Taylor and
others to start, but they are all right
now and this thing will soon end" was
filed and made part of the record.
Mrs. w. B. Anderson, manager of
the Western Union Telegraph office at
Barboursville, the home of Powers, re-
sumed the stand to identify kilograms
sent through that Office which, are sup
posed to have a bearing on the case.
On motion of the prosecution SUBJ
poena duces tecum was awarded, re-
curing James Eggleston, of Frankfort,
to bring into court the railroad regis
ter showing the time of arrival and de-
parture of trains at Frankfort the day
of the assassination. The purpose of
this is to- contradict the claim of the
defense that Jim Howard, who is al
legged to have fired! the shot, arrived
after the assassination.
Howard at one time claimed that the
train on which he came did not arrive
till af'terward, but the register shows
that 1T arrived some 80 minutes pre-
vious to the murder, and in addition the
prosecution will offer proof to show
that Howard had spent the night in the
city.
