troduced the detective as Mr. Hamilton"
Two local constables were employed to
inveigle him TO a magistrates office.

Smart. leaving the knife on tie table.
When he faced the detective again the
regro looked into the steel tube of a
heavy revolver at half-cock.
Hands upi' exclaimed the detective.
Il want you for burning DR.. Fishers

Smart threw the handouts to him and
commanded him to put them on. He
hesitated. but the business end OF the
revolver persuaded him to obey, and he
accompanied the detective TO Baltimore.
Thomas says he will never go back to Vir-
ginia alive.
He will be taken to Richmond County
by Detective Smart soon as requisition
papers are secured. This morning he was
identified by Z. W. Garland, brother Of

GEORGETOWN, KY. Aug. 1.-THE
Powers case will be submitted to the jury
tomorrow at noon. All the speeches but
that Of Commonwealth Attorney Frank
lin have been concluded.
Col. T. V. Campbell, OF New York, spoke
for the prosecution this morning, and said:
MY friendship for William Goebel led
me to undertake the undesirable task Of
attempting to run to earth the foul as
sassius For seven months l have labored
day and night in this work, assisting Rob-
ert Franklin, whom / have found to be
another of natures noblemen. II was at
his suggestion that l undertook trip to
the mountains. warned by him that the
mission was desperate one. Do you want
to know why Kentucky. with all her won
derful resources, is behind her sister States
in the march of progress? Listen to these
figures: Ohio has twice the population of
Kentucky. but in four years from 1896 to
1900 Ohio had but forty-two murders,
while Kentucky had 1876, with but 2S5 con-
victions. The records show that during the
Bradley administration, which covered this
period. PIG murderers were pardoned.
Caleb Powers admitted on the witness
stand almost everything with which the
State charges him. His testimony cor
rcborated that of Noakes. Culton. and Col
den. All shrewd criminals in history have
had we'll established alihis. The army of
mountain men reached Frankfort, Janu-
airy %, and on the afternoon Powers ar
ranged for his first abb by going to his
boarding house. where he says he re-
mained all afternoon, while his brother
John. believing that the men he had
brought there would fulfill their foul mis-
sion that day, is conveniently taken sick at
the house of Capt John Davis. But moth
ing was done
Another day had to be fixed and an
other alibi arranged. Tuesday, January
80, is selected and Caleb and John Powers
have important business in Louisville. The
door between Caieb's Office and the recep-
ton room is carefully locked and bolted
inside, condition before unknown. This
night the plans are laid and the deed is
done
Ex-Governor Brown, for the defence, il
speaking of Colonel Campbell, said:
Before he comes to reading us lectures
on morals he should consider his native
State Of Ohio. II history is correct think
there was a riot in Cincinnati some years
ago. in which the so-called temple OF JUS
tice was burned because justice was not
administered there, and by the glare of
that fire a certain gentleman left Cincin-
natl and has since resided in New York.
"Goebels DEATH said he, 'solidiied the
factions or wings of the Democratic party
at once, and anybody would know that that
would be the result. Everybody knew
that If he had not been shot the chances
we're much against him winning the con-
test for Governor. Hence there was no
motive for Powers 10 have him assassi-
mated.
THE principal witnesses against Pow
ers are Golden, Noakes, and Culton, who
are such moral lepers that their state
ments ought not TO be considered and
without their statements there is no evil
dence upon which any jury could convict

Mrs. Kinsley's Application for Re-
mission of Extra Charges.

Mrs. C. Kinsley, of 202 X Street north
east. recently wrote to the Commissioners
requesting that charges for advertising and
sales of part Of lot II, square 749, assessed
in the name OF Michael Finn, be RENTED.
She states that prior to her husbands
death he purchased two feet OF ground from
Mr.. Finn, the same being part Of the lois
above mentioned. She says that this
ground has been advertised yearly and sold
for taxes. She not knG-ving the ground was
hers paid no attention to it until recently
upon hearing some talk about il, and by
making enquiry about the matter in the
office Of the Recorder of Deeds, where she
learned that the ground belonged to her
as the property of her husband. She there
fore asks that TIE charges for advertising
and the sale OF the property be RENTED
under the circumstances.
AT the request of the Commissioners II.
H. Darneille, the Assessor, has reported OIL
the application as follows: THE records
show that this parcel OF land was conveyed
TO William Kinsley by deed dated March 8,
1865, and recorded May l, 1865. from
Michael Finn, but was not transferred
from the name of said Finn until a few
days since, when IL was brought to the at
tention of the office by another deed OF
property adjacent to it. when Mrs. Kinsley,
widow Of William Kinsley, was informed of
the matter.
1T appears to me that this is a case in
volying the discretion of the Commission
ers, that the owner should not be required
to pay penalties for an error made by off
Gals under the old corporation of Wash
ington. and for which the widow OF said
owner is not responsible.

HARRIS STILL IN CUSTODY.
Gotham Detectives Here Awaiting
Arrival of Rcquisition Papers.

Requisition papers are expected to ar
rive here tomorrow for Arthur Harris,
coIored, who is charged with the murder
in New York City of Policeman Robert j.
Thorpe last Sunday night. Harris is still
lodged at the Fifth precinct station.
where he was placed after his arrest at
the home of his mother, 322 E Street
southeast, early Thursday morning. He
admits the killing of Thorpe. and is willing
to return for trial to New York.
Several Gotham detectives are yet in
the city, as is also Detective Davis, Of
Newark. N. J. The local police have a
warrant charging Harris with assault
with intent to kill Charles Newman. also
colored, on September 20, 1897. Newman
was badly stabbed at the time, but has
recovered. Harris left the city directly
after the trouble, and remained at large.
II is expected that the outside detectives
will leave the city tonight, with the ex-
ception OF Detective Weller, OF New York,
who will remain to take charge OF the
prisoner when the proper papers arrive.
Harris still appears confident of ac-
quittal. He states positively that he did
not know Thorpe was an officer when the
trouble occurred. He reiterates also that
he was first attacked and beaten by the
policeman, and claims to have committed
the murder in self-defence. No apprehen-
sion is felt by the New York detectives
regarding the safe conduct OF the prisoner
to New York nor is any concern apparent
as to the ability OF the police of that city
to properly guard their prisoner upon his
arrival Mrs. Harris, mother of the
prisoner, is i'll at her home, and has been
unable to visit her son at the station.
