STAR WITNESS TEsTIFIEs,
Golden Tells His Story of the Assassina-
ton oSkvm. GoebeI.

Georgetown, Ky, July 2S.-The
prosecution placed its star witness, f.
Wharton Golden, on the stand yester-
day. Golden's testimony, was to the
effect that at Caleb Powers request
he helped collect mountain feudists
to so to Frankfort; that these men
were paid for going; that Finley
threatened that If the legislature did
not drop the attempt to depose the
Republican officials "we will kill
them;" that Powers approved Of the
sentiment; it seemed to be common
talk among the Republican rank and
file-the mountainers-that Goebel
ought to be killed.
He said that John Powers told him
they had procured two negroes to kill
Goebel; that when asked to call out
the troops Governor Taylor told those
asking, You all must act first" that
Caleb and John Powers were sarcastic
and merry when they heard of the
assassination; that Governor Taylor
asked witness Ii he and the other
mountain men would back up the Re-
publican members of the legislature in
case fight should be precipitated, and
further along In the conversation, he
said: Golden. it looks like a horri-
blA thing to kill a man; but that looks
like the only way to handle Goebel and
his gang"
