GEORGETOWN, KY, oct. 22.-Yester-
day was court day. and there was big
crowd in attendance at the trial of Caleb
Powers.
Nearly all the prisoners witnesses have
arrived in Georgetown. and among them
are former Adjutant General r. d. Col
lier. DR.. A. p. Morgan Vance, one of the
physicians who attended GoebeL and ex-
Judge w. H. Yost and Holland Whitta-
ker, Of Butler county, Taylor's home
county, and no=y under indictment as
principal in the crime, is here to testify
in behalf of Powers. Whitaker was re-
leased some time ago on a $4,000 bond.
When the court convened yesterday
Powers resumed his testimony in chief.
Powers said that no one ever had his
personal key to his dice, except Leo
Davidson son of Assistant Secretary of
State Davidson. He gave Davidson his
key to keep while he was away from
Frankfort from January IL to IL. Powers
said: s.,e.-
ST want to say that there is a possibili-
ty that the shots may have been fired
from the secretary of states office. Duph-
cate keys could have been made. But
when Goebel was shot 1 had the keys to
my office in my pocket"
Powers denied most emphatically that
he had ever conspired with any human
being to do violence to William Goebel or
any other Democratic official. His cross
examination was conducted by Attorney
Campbell.

Der when Goebel was shot, said 1t was his
impression that the shots were, fred di-
rectly in front of the state house and not

Former State Treasurer. George w.
Long said that on the morning of January
80 the day Goebel was shot, he was in
structed by w. s. Taylor to go to Louis
Vile with Caleb Powers and Walter r.
Day and make arrangements to bring
men to Frankfort from western Ken
lucky. The witness said that when Pow
ers heard that Goebel had been shot he
said all chances for the Republicans to
win the contest had been ruined.
Mr.. Long said he was never consulted
about bringing the mountain men to
Frankfort and had nothing. to do with
bringing them. He only paid the board
of some of the men on claim presented
by Powers, who was one Of the Republic
can contestants.
Ed Mentz. of Glasgow Junction, and j.
Frank Taylor. of Glasgow, testified that
on January 30 they received kilograms
