William Goebel's career has been marked
by the unusual and the tragic In its
every phase. His entry into State poll
tics brought to the front the most tragic
event of that career, not even except
ing the tragedy of yesterday. After secur-

the State Senate, holding that position ever
since. though several times narrowly miss
ing defeat at the hands of his Repub-
lican opponents, and ultimately forced his
way into the leadership left vacant by the
social and political ostracism of John G..
Carlisle, to whom. with the late Governor
Stevenson, he owed most of his legal train
ing. Senator Blackburn was then a candi-
date for reelection, and was opposed by
the Kenton man. On this rock was split
the fabric of friendship between Goebel
and Col. John l.. Sanford, a Covington
banker, who was a warm supporter of the
Woodford county idol. Always resentful
and aggressive, Goebel bought a news
paper and made vicious assault on the
character of Col. Sanford. They met on a
Covington street a few minutes after 1
