THAT THE assassination of Gov. Goe-
bel, of Kentucky, was a deliberately
planned conspiracy, is made plain by
the fact that the armed republicans
who were invited into the State House
by the man who has usurped the Gov
ernor's Office, not only shot MIN, and
shot at the men who were with him,
but, by obstructing the doors of the
building, prevented the detection and
arrest of the murderer.
