FUTURE Is FULL OF GLOON.
When Majors Enters Prison II win
be to Reman There Until Death.

"He who enters here leaves hope be-
hind" applies with peculiar force TO
Abe Majors just now. as he Is about
to become an inmate Of the state prls-
on again, for II is not likely that he
will ever get another trial, and II is by
no means certain that he would eyei
be acquitted by another jury.
The general public which has fol-
lowed the devious windings Of his case
will be interested in knowing something
OF the treatment that the officials &C
cord to life prisoners. II Is thought that
a different discipline is a part Of their
experience, but such Is not the case.
The treatment of a life and one year
prisoner IL identlcally the same regard
less OF time or offense, except that the
life prisoner is never permitted TO pass
outside the walls when once within
When he enters Il is 10 remain there
until death or until some operation OF
law gives him his liberty. Majors may
possibly get the benefit OF the laue-',
but IL is safe 10 say that II will be Ii
long time In the future.
When Majors was in prison before, he
was under condemnation and county
charge. and. therefore. not compelled to
work. Hereafter. he will be obliged TO
take his place at the prison rock pile
as other prisoners. This. II Is said Is
about the only work he ever did. That
was AT Folsom prison, California, where
no was serving ten years sentence
for burglary. He had served about FIVE
years Of this, and was under parole
when he aed from the state and came
IN Utah only TO get into the trouble
that resulted In the killing Of Captain
Brown and his own brother.

Georgetown, Ky, oct. s.-The second
trial OF ex-Secretary Of State Caleb

Governor Goebel. began today. Judge
Cantrill read an affidavit fled by the
prisoners attorneys. setting forth the
alleged partisanship Of the court. that
the Judge Is candidate for senator

PENDANT personally as well as political

a mere recitation Of the prisoners con-
illusions and opinions over his alleged
inability 70 get a fair trial Col Camp
bell delivered bitter speech against
those who thus reflected on the court.
Judge Cantrill refused TO vacate the
bench. saying the affidavit should have
been filed before the Judge had taken
any action In the case. He refused to
discuss the petition Of the affidavit
which related to himself but denied
that the jury IN the former trial had
been unfairly chosen.
The defense and the commonwealth
