REPORT IS DENIED.
A Cousin of Golden Says It Is Abso-
 lutely False

Barboursville, Ky, March 19.-The re- port that F. Wharton Golden had turned states evidence in the Goebel murder case was a great surprise here. Green Golden, cousin of Wharton, says 1t was utterly false, that he was sent by Secretary of State Powers to keep Wharton from going to Franfort. F. W. Golden was a close friend of Caleb Powers, doing a great deal of work for him during the recent cam paign. It is said that he left here on re- ceipt of a telegram from the attorneys for the prosecution to some to Lexington. When the news reached here that he had made confession, friends of the accused parties became very uneasy. It is also learned that ex-Representative Howard and F. W. Cecil, of Middlesboro, were here Saturday night in consultation with Gold en. Cecil was sergeant-at-arms at the ses- sion of the legislature at London.
 Soldiers are still on duty guarding the arms of Company D, K. S. G. A guard is kept on duty day and night. Captain Hawn will not recognize Taylor. and the arms have been placed under the control of Iieutenant Gibson.

Attorney Says Murderer Is in County in
 Eastern Kentucky

Cincinnati March 19.-T. c. Campbell, who has been employed by the brothers of the late William Goebel to assist in the prosecution of the assassin of Mir Goebel was here today fresh from a conference with his associates at Lexington, Ky. MT. Campbell was unwilling to disclose the state of their case, but he said that so far as now known the assassin was not yet arrested. He added that the assassin would be arrested when force of 5000 armed men could be had to go to a certain county in eastern Kentucky He said further that the attorneys for the commonwealth claim to have proof to establish conspiracy for the assassination, but he made the asser- tion that the conspiracy was not charged against the republican leaders but against what is known as the "anti-Goebel party" He further said that it includes men who were officials prior to the late election and men who thought they would become off, cials after the late election.

KENTUCKY IS
 AGAIN STIRRED Alleged Confession of Golden Concerning Goebel Murder. THE REPORT IS DENIED
Accused Man Located at Winchester, But Refuses to Be Seen-News of Alleged Statement Gre
 ated Sensation. s

Frankfort, Ky, March 19.-phe news of the alleged confession of E. Wharton Gold en of Barboursville in regard to the assas- sination of William Goebel has produced a sensation here today. Golden was former ly a guard at the penitentiary here under the republican administration, and Is we'll known. It developed that the police and detectives have been watching his move ments since the day of the assassination on the theory that he knew something about it. Commonwealth's Attorney Frank lin and County Attorney Porsgrove decline to discuss the alleged confession, as did others who are assisting in the prosecution, though one went so far as to say that MT. Golden will be one of the most important witnesses introduced by the state.
 Some regret that this matter became public so soon, as they fear 1t will not only make It dangerous for him to return to his home at Barboursville, but that It may also seriously impede the prosecution in work which has been going on for several weeks. and which might have led to other develop ments soon. Caleb Powers, the republican secretary of state, who is In jail charged with being an accessory to the assassina- tion, and who Is alleged to be implicated by Golden. refused to discuss the comics sion story in any form.

ATTACKED THE CHIEF.
John Kenney Openly Accuses Chief Of
Police Hallock With Being Gull
~ Of Vagrancy-A Lively
Row

why don't you arrest your chief
Of police for vagrancy? l asked you
that question the other night" said
John Kenney, angrily. to Policeman
Stark in Judge Nelson's court room
yesterday afternoon. Kenney started to
explain what he meant by asking the
question and was specifying his
charges. when friends interfered and
stopped him.
Chief Of Police Hallock was present
when Kenney asked the question but
took no notice and the matter was
dropped.
The cause OF Kenney's anger was the
arrest OF man in his employ on a
charge OF vagrancy by the police sew
eral nights ago. Kenney says he sent
for the man. but his new building not
being completed concluded not to put
him to work for a day or two. While
idle he was arrested by the police
for vagrancy.
When first arrested the man was
tried and convicted Of vagrancy by
Judge Nelson. who imposed a $50 fine.
but suspended it on an agreement that
the man would leave the city. The
police took the man to the Bailey Cat
zert just before that boat pulled out
on Tuesday night and put him aboard.
Instead OF proceeding directly on its
way to Portland the Gatzert stopped
at one of the canneries to load freight
and the man. shipped as a vagrant
by the police under the suspended SEN
tence. walked ashore and came back
to Kenney & Gribbler's place and went
to work.
Later on Tuesday night Policeman
Stark. who knew the man had been
ordered shipped out of town. ran
across him and took him into custody.
The prisoner appealed to Kenney to
save him from Jail and here is where
the difficulty arises that caused the
trouble Of yesterday which, by the
way, is by no means settled.
Kenney says he put up $50 for the
mans bail and expected him TO be
tried Wednesday afternoon. Police
man Stark says ne took Kenney's $40
in payment of the fine already assess
ed against the vagrant and which he
holds became due when the man dis
obeyed the orders OF the court and re-
turned to Astoria.
Kennes' holds that the man left AS
toria when NJ police put him on the
boat, ana that he had perfect right

IN consequence demanded the return
Of his bail money. Officer Stark stuck
to II that Rinney's money was not put
up as ball although he admitted that
Kenney, in putting up the money kept
talking Of bail. but" he added. II
kept talking Of his fine and took 1t
for his fine"
Judge Nelson said the matter was
beyond his Jurisdiction. That the po-
lice had turned Kenney's $50 In as pay
ment Of the vagrant's fine. He said
that IL Kenney put the money up as
bail his only recourse. in view Of the
statements Of the police officer. was to
bring civil suit for its recovery. Then
II was that Kenney openly accused
the chief Of being guilty Of vagrancy
and made the further statement that
the police were simply trying to bun
co him out Of $40. and that he would
not stand It. He said he would bring
suit TO recover the money.
This trouble grows out Of a long
standing. semi-smothered quarrel be-
tween Kenney & Gribler and Chief
Hauock, and ugly rumors are ahoat
which should be proven or silenced.
1t is presumed Kenney's suit will
bring the matter to final issue.
