Acquit 0verruled
(By the Asgoclated Press

Frankfort, KY, April 13.-In the trial
today of Captain Ripley for alleged com
plicity in the Goebel shooting, VIM. P,
Reeder, Ex- County Clerk of Knox county,
testified that he talked with Caleb Pow
ers and Charles Finley frequently in re-
gard to the crowd they were alleged to
be getting up to go to Frankfort, Janua-
ry 18th. Witness asked Finley if there
was going to be a fight at Frankfort.
Finley replied, according to Reeder, that
he thought so and should not be surprised
if Goebel were killed in the next five
days.
Wharton Golden repeated his testi-
mony in former trials and the prosecution
rested A motion for peremptory instruc-
tions for acquittal was over-ruled, and
Attorney O'Neal made the opening state
ment for the defence. He said the de-
PENDANT did not even know Caleb Pow

Taylor and had only met him on two
occasions Just prior to the assassination

A NOTABLE VICTORY.
Mr Jacques Bushels Selection to Paint scna-
ter Vancs's Portrait.

Mention has been made. of the selection
of Mr.. Jacques Busbee, Of this city, son
of Chas. NJ. Busbee, ESQ, as the artist
to paint portrait of Vance for the North
Carolina room of the Confederate Museum
at Richmond.
Mr. Busbee was first notified by wire
of his selection, and following this came
the official letter from Salisbury, where
the special committee appointed at the
last State convention Of the Daughters
of the Confederacy met on the 18th Of
this month. The official notification was
from Mrs. T. S. Morrison. chairman, and
Mrs. Edwin r. Overman, secretary.
The committee decided that the portrait
should be painted from the Prince photo
graph, taken few years before his death.
This is a three quarter sitting posture.
After the portrait has been completed
and accepted by the committee it will be
presented to the Daughters of the Con-
federacy at the State convention to be
held in Charlotte on October 8, 1901, with
due ceremony. by the Vance committee,
after which it will be forwarded to Rich
mond
1t is gratifying to Mr.. Bushels friends
to know that Mr.. Busbee was selected as
the artist lFOlH d lISt Oh HedIIy d uOZeu
applicants for the honor. In this list
were eminent artists from New York,
Washington, Charlotte, Asheville, Green's
boro and Raleigh To have been success
full in q contest in which SO much emf
nence was arrayed is a tribute to Mr..
Busbees ability, which has heretofore
been displayed in his portraits of Judges
CASTOR and Taylor, of ex-Chief Justice
Shepherd and of the late Lieutenant
Shipp, besides others.
The future is bright with promise to
this talented young artist, who will with
out doubt paint a picture of the beloved

THE SITUATION GRAVE
Gompers Said to Have Been at Work
in Charlotte.
He WAS ORGANIZING OPERATIVES THERE
He Demands Recognition Of the Union Which
Manufacturers Refuse. One Of the Reasons
Why the Cotton Spinners Con-
yention Was Postponed.

Charlotte, N c., April 13.-It is said
in local mill circles that President Comp
ers of the Federation of Labor, spent sew
eral days in Charlotte, this week, for the
purpose of organizing the mill operatives
for cooperation in the general mill strike
which it is understood, has been ordered
for May 1st.
The manufacturers admit that the sit
uation is grave and this is said to be
one Of the reasons why the convention of
the Southern Cotton Spinners' Association
ct Atlanta was postponed.
The mill men say that one of Comp
ers' demands is that his order or union
be recognized and that differences between
employer and employe be settled through
his agency.
I'VE will never consent to this, said
prominent manufacturer I'VE propose
to arrange differences with our help direct
or individually and the Southern maui
faeturers will not agree to any sort of
INTERPRETATION. President Gompers' de-
mands will be ignored"

MIR. ROBERTS SEEKS APPOINTMENT.
But no vacances Exist in Wakes Corps Ct
Magistrates.

A petition has been circulating among
lawyers and others for the re-appoint-
nent of H. II. Roberts. whose term as
Justice of the peace expired on April LIST.
That petition was laid before Clerk of
Court Russ Mr. Russ very properly de-
clned to make the appointment unless It
vas first endorsed by the Democratic
Township Executive Committee.
The petition was accordingly taken to
Hlr. d. H. Hamilton, who is chairman OF
the township committee. and it is said
nat he proposes to call a meeting of the
committee this week to act on it.
1t is learned, however, that there is no
vacancy and until there is a vacancy
there can be no appointment and there
should be no endorsement by the commits
tee.
And it IS in this connection that the
most interesting part of the story comes;
1t is said that Bryant Smith, magistrate
OF this township, will resign to allow
Roberts appointment, but will not resign
under any other conditions. 1t is further
stated that he does not propose to send
in his resignation until Roberts is en-
corsed The truth of these statements
could not yesterday be verified, but if they
ere true the situation is an interesting
one. Certainly there is nothing before
the committee to act on until there is a
vacancy 1t cannot endorse man for
appointment to a vacancy that does not
exist
In case the meeting of the committee is
held under these circumstances there
nay be some interesting Developments.

had a man almost as long as he, and
that two berths had been thrown into
one, making a continuous bed about
eight feet long. Captain Battle went
below with me and looked at the double
berth. Said he'd prefer to sleep on

TO FREE MRS. MAYBRICK.
Renewed Efforts win Be Made Now
That Queen Victoria is Dead.

New York, Jan 24.-Clark Bell. presi-
dent of the Medical and Legal Aid so
eiety. has announced that his society
has determined to take up the May
brick case at once; and that the chances
are now more favorable than ever for
the pardon or acquittal, after fair trial,
of the American woman under sentence
of life imprisonment in England charged
with having murdered her husband by
poison.
The taking up of the case is due to
the attitude which the new king of
England is known to have assumed
toward Mrs Maybrick. It is said he had
made it no secret that he favors her.
For more than ten years the Medical
and Legal Aid society has been active
in it's endeavors to secure the release of
Mrs. Maybrick, believing she was IN
justly sentenced The members OF the
society have never thought that Mrs
May bricx would be released as long as
Queen Victoria lived. However, the so
ciety has continued to gather evidence
to prove that Mrs. Maybrick was not
fairly tried. and that the judge who
sentenced her, Sir FitzJames stephens,
was of unsound mind when he tried her
case The most important in favor Of
reopening of the case or the pardon OF
Mrs. Maybrick is a letter to Mrs. May
brick dated June 27, 1885 from Lord
Russell of KilloWen. In 1t Lord Russell
declares that Mrs. AIaybrick was never
proved guilty.
1t is understood that Ambassador
Choate favors the release of Mrs. May
brick, and has only awaited an oppor-
tunity to present her case to the new
home secretary.
In case all appeals to the king and the
new home secretary fail it is under
stood that the Medical and Legal Aid
society will ask Miss Clara Barton, of
the Red Cross society. to make a per-
sona1 appeal to the king.

HACKETT COUNTED OUT
Committee Finds Enough Votes
to Unseat HIM and Quits.

The Ovens Hackett contest for the
seat in the house from Bourbon county
came to an abrupt ending at noon to-
day. Timothy Hackett, the fusion MEM
Der. was counted out, and viii be I'M
seated by the majority report that is to
be made up in executive session this
afternoon.
On the face of the election returns
Hackett was elected over w. A. Owens.
Republican, by a majority Of is. The
recount of the Third ward of the city
of Fort Scott made by the house cleo
lions committee was sufficient to turn
the majority in favor of Owens There
were about a hundred ballots thrown
out altogether. Forty of them We're
blank. The others had some distinctive
mark, such as the word yes written
instead of a crosS-mark for the vote
for the constitutional amendment, or,
others, a cross-mark opposite the name
of Mckinley or Bryan
The original returns from this ward
gave Hackett a majority of 50. With
the recount apparently cutting both
ways the final result however cut down
Hackett's majority in the ward to q.
In reality this clipped IS from his total
vote, wiped out his majority of Is. and
gives Owens a majority of 22.
Jake Sheppard, who represented Hack
EFT, made a fight to prolong the contest,
have a recount of the entire district
made. and have witnesses heard that
had been brought here. But the COM
mittee closed the contest summarily. and
adjourned to meet in executive session
at o'clock this afternoon and formu-
late its report declaring Owens entitled
to the seat.
