Taylor, of Kentucky, who has taken
refuge in this city, said at noon:

my opinion of the entire situation I

Independent afternoon papers criti-
else editorially Gov. Mounts position
and charge that he has violated that
clause in the constitution of tho
United States which makes the deliv-
cry of person so charged mandatory.
Sentiment here is divided.
Justus Goebel said Tuesday:
II am sure that If Gov. Mount was ac-
quainted with the true facts in relation
to Mr.. Finleys Indictment that he would
not hesitate one moment in doing in this
case what should be done in every case
where the man has been indicted by a
jury of his fellow citizens. to return the
otherwise is to introduce anarchy in
place of law. 1 do have an abiding faith
that when the facts in this matter are
fairly put before Gov. Mount he will not
inaugurate q system that will make of
Indiana a haven of refuge for the GRIM
inals of Kentucky and make the state
of Kentucky place of refuge for the
criminals of Indiana. 1t is unfair and I'M
Christian-like, in religious man like
Gov. Mount, to assume that his fellow
| citizens on the south side of the Ohio
river will commit perjury and other
crimes to convict a private citizen, as Mr..
Finley is, of the murder of the late Mr..
/ Goebel."
Frankfort, Ky, May 23.-The Ken
lucky authorities will not attempt to
mandamus Gov. Mount to honor the
requisition of Gov. Beclkham for the
arrest of Finley. The opinion prevails
that the matter is wholly within the
province of the governor of each state
and that no legal action can be main
tanned to enforce the requisition.
Louisville, Ky, May ga special
to the Post, from Frankfort says:
John Powers, brother of Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, and who is also
indicted for the assassination Of Sen.
ator Goebel, was arrested in the
mountains of Kentucky in Knox coun.
ty near Barbourville at night by Off.
GERS from the democratic state author
tiles. He was taken to Barbourville
where habeas corpus proceedings
were begun Tuesday.
Barboursville, KY, May 23.-John l..
Powers, who was arrested in the south
ern part of the county Monday night,
instituted habcas corpus proceedings
before County Judge Wyatt Tuesday.
The proceedings were hotly contested.
Judge Williams, of Frankfort, was tele-
graphed for and arrived here at four
o'clock p. III. to assist the common
wealth. 1t was rumorcd during the
day that Bcckham soldiers were COM
ing on the evening train to take Pow
crs, and much excitement prevailed
Attorneys for Powers presented par
don from Gov. Taylor to John L. Pow
crs. Judge Wyatt sustained the mo-
tion to release Powers on the grounds
of the pardon being valid. Cheers went
up from u large crowd of Powers
friends when the opinion was reached,
and many rushed to greet Powers.
Powers says he has no statement to
make just yet. He speaks kindly of
his captors.
