New Story About the Assassination
of Gov. GOebeI.

Louisville, KY. April 6.-The Courier
Journal prints a circumstantial story,
based upon evidence said to have been
given to the attorney for the prosecution
by Wharton Golden, w. H. Culon, H.
Youtsey and others.
The story gives the name of the man
suspected of having fired the shot that
Killed Senator Goebel. He is a Clay
county feudist: He is supposed to be in
the mountains and has not yet been ar
rested.
The story follows Golden's testimony as
to the plan to cause riot in the legisla-
ture, during which Democrats members
were to have been killed; tells of the
purchase from well known Cincinnati
house of twenty-five steel bullets, smoke
less powder cartridges, the procuring of a
3S-calibre rifle with which the shooting is
said to have been done, the weapon being
returned an hour afterward and the pay
ment of $1,000 in advance to the assassin.
After the shooting the assassin is said to
have been escorted to the mountains by a
number of armed men.

HOW JUDGE BROWN EXPLAINS.
Declares His Decision Is in Accord
nnce With The Inv

Declares His Decision Is in Accord
ance With the Law.
New York, April 6.-United States Dis
trict Judge Brown to-day reviewed in an
interview the grounds of his decision in
refusing bench warrant for the removal
to Georgia ofsB. D. Greene, ]. f.. f. II.
and W. Y. Gaynor, indicted in Savannah
in connection with the frauds carried out
by former Capt Garter Judge Brown
said:
The reported surprise and anger on
account of my decision, have, in my mind
nothing more back of them than a pas
sionate feeling down South that they
would like to take these men by the neck
and hustle them off 10 trial down there
There is a feeling that they are swindlers
and should be brought to trial there az
once where the witnesses against them
are.
"Of course, my decision cannot be based
upon any feeling of this kind. 1t was a
technical question Of procedure, and my
decision was based upon wel-establshed
precedent. Over and over again this point
has come up and been decided. The prose-
cution argued in this case that the accused
could be removed to Georgia on the single
fact that an indictment had been found
against them in that state. Replying up
on this view, they persis tently refused to
produce a single fact that you could put
finger upon to show that the indictment
was good
"As long as the United States statutes
stand as they now are, this question can
not be decided in any otehr way.
''The order that l gave for the discharge
of the accused men does not mean at all
that they are necessarily TO go free. 1
only discharged them under the form of
procedure adopted, and recommends an
other form might be taken. That means
that the prosecution can upon discharge
get a new Indictment which could be done
in twenty-four hours, and put in proof to
support il. They may also bring up tie
case on the same Indictment and adopt a
different procedure"
IL could not be learned whether. accord
ing to Judge Browns opinion, new proceeI-
ings will be begun gainst the accused con-
tractors. Commissioner Shields is expect
ed to discharge them on the formal order
soon.

made to impress the people that she, too,
was preparing to fly.

er directly nor indirectly, had | any con-
nection with the assassination of Senator

outrage should be committed, l shall ap-
pear for trial, conscious of my innocence
and of the ultimate triumph of right and
justice.
THE whole purpose of this prosecution
has been, and is, to drive me from my
post of duty, and to punish me for hold

Santiago April 6.-The first important
action of the new Mayor, Senior Grinan,

terday Il published an editorial both Of
fensiVe and indecent, in criticism of the
civil government, particularly the munich
pal branch.
The editorial characterized the palace as
IAN official sewer and cesspool of moral
corruption" and used other language, not
fit for publication. 1t charged officials
with stealng-even specifying the con-
tracts-and with selling immense quanti-
ties of valuable timber belonging to the
municipality, particularly 1000 trees OF
mahogany that were delivered under con-
tract for 500
Furthermore, the editorial asserted that
Senior Grnan became legally incapa acitat-
ed for holding office years ago, on ac-
count Of corrupt conduct
The new Mayor, who proposes an ag-
gressive and progressive administration,
acting under Gen. Woods order OF March
a. giving Mayors the control of public
order, conhscated the printing plant and
lodged the editorial staff in jail. He justi-
fed this step on grounds Of public decen-
