DEFENSE IN POWERS CASE

GEORGETOWN, KY, October a.
In the Powers case to-day substantial
progress was made.
James r. Howard was brought from
Frankfort under a heavy guard. He
testified that on the day Goebel was
shot, he, (Howard), was not on the
State House square or in the executive
building until o'clock that afternoon.
On that day witness said he was clean
shaver. This point was introduced by
the defense to refute the testimony OF
former Chief Justic James Hazelrigg,
who testified that he saw man with
black houstache on the steps of the
executive building after Goebel was
shot and that when he saw Jim How
ard on trial he thought it was the same
man, but he could not be certain.
Are you the Howard who was con-
victed Of the murder Of VIM. Goebel?"
asked Col Campbell.
Eyes and the judgment set aside"
replied Howard.
Howard was then excused and taken
to the Frankfort Jail on an evening
train.
