do so Monday, and the indications are
that the jury will be taken to Frank

es were heard today, most of them be-
ing introduced to contradict testimony
Of the witnesses for the defense. The

seeing Caleb Powers with other leaders
of the mountain crowd on the evening
of Jan. %. The defendant himself had
testified that he was Ill in his room all
Of that afternoon. Several other witness
es will be introduced Monday to furth-
er contradict Powers on this point.

and citizens testified that the talk of mob
violence after the assassination of Gov
Goebel existed only in the minds of those
in the executive building, and that there
was no need OF the military. Among
those who SO testified was Sheriff Stor.
who said he swore in a posse of dozen
citizens, and that it would have been
equal to the occasion had it not been
blocked by the actions of Adjt Gen. Coz
lier, who made the civil officers subserv-
lent to the military.

prospect that the rebuttal evidence for
the prosecution would be concluded some
