MOTION TO DISCHARGE RIPLEY
IS PROMPTLY OVERRUL ED.
Prosecution Closes Its Case in the GoebeI
Murder Trial With Damaging Testi-
mony-Defense Opens.

Frankfort. Ky, April 13.-1n the Ripley
trial Saturday morning. w. p. Reeder, ex-
County Clerk of Knox County, testified hat
he talked with Caleb Powers and Charles
Finley frequently in regard to the crowd
they were getting up to 60 to Frankfort
January 25.
Witness asked Finley If there was going
to he a fight at Frankfort. Finley replied
that he thought so, and would not be sur
prised If Goebel should be killed.
Town Marshal Jesse of Pleasureville tes-
tilted that Ripley's military company had
its first drill January q. and the second
drill was on January so, both In secret.
County Judge Bruce testified that Ripieys
company was illegally gotten up. no APP
plication having been made for its organi-
cation, as required by law.
Wharton Golden told Of the organization
of the mountain army. He got 1t up IN
conjunction with Powers, who gave him
the money.
He also told of the conversation with
Governor Taylor. in which Taylor asked
him if he and his men would back up the
Republican members Of the Legislature in
case they started a fight. He told Taylor
he would.
Witness said that In January Caleb Pow
ers told him that the killing Of Goebel was
the only way to settle the contest: that sew
eral hundred men should be brought here
from the mountains and that Taylor "ouio
pardon the man who did the shooting.
Touching Ripley. the witness said he saw
him In the Adiutant Generals office a few
days preceding the assassination. General
Collier told Ripley he had no guns with
which to equip the company that Ripley
had organized. Ripley said he would buy
Winchesters If he could not get others. He
saw Youtsey get the key to the Secretary
of States office, January 90. The prosecu-
ton then rested.
A motion for peremptory instructions for
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-04-14

acquittal on evidence presented by tho
commonwealth was overruled, and Mr..
ONeal made the opening statement for the
defense.
He said that he was convinced his client
was innocent; that he did not even know
Caleb Powers. Finley or Youtsey. He bare
ly knew Taylor, and had only met him on
two occasions just prior to the assassina-
ton, and the proof showed no link connect
Ing him with the conspirators or with any
part of the conspiracy.
Construcs Bradley's Testimony.
In explanation of the testimony of ex-
Governor Bradley and Judge Yost, O'Neal
said a mountain had been made of a mole
hill. There was great excitement in Frank
fort January 2s, and when Ripley went into
Governor Taylor's office. he found the latter
nervous and wringing his hands. He asked
what was the matter and Taylor said: "Oh.
my God. Ripley. these are terrible times.
Goebel will be killed. l will be killed and
there will be a riot here"
Ripley told him he thought these things
could be avoided and inquired when he
should get his company ready. To this
Taylor replied:
My God, haven't you got them ready
YETI"
This was all there was to this, said
Mr.. O'Neal, and no such construction could
rightfully be put on 1t as has been done
in this trial. O'Neal said both Governor
Bradley and Judge YOst were mistaken as
to the point Ripley was endeavoring to
make when he told Of the conversation
with Taylor in which he used the words.
'Goebel will be killed" Ripley saw Yout-
sey passing about that time and recognized
him as the man he had seen coming out of
Taylor's office on January 20. Ripley re-
lated the whole conversation, but attached
Importance to Taylor's statement. Court
then adjourned till Monday.
