Caleb Powers on Trial.

T Georgetown, KY, Aug. 17.-Caleb
Powers took the witness stand in his
own defence today. He told the story
be has repeated on the stand on each
of his preceding trials, but denied the
story told by Frank Cecil, of Bell
County, that be was seeking someone
to enact the role of assassin.
Powers denied that he had any mo-
tive in bringing the mountain army
to Frankfort other than to show the
Democratic majority of the General
Assembly the intense feeling of the
Republican voters Of the State, and
said it had nothing whatever to do
with. thesGoebel murder. It is evident
that Powers,s defence this time will
be that Henry Youtsey fred the shot
that killed William Goebel.
Robert Noakes, a State witness, said
that at one time Charles Finley, form
or Secretary of State, said to him that
the best way to settle the contest was
to pay James Howard $1,000 to kill
Goebel. The witness said arrange
ments had been made to kill GoebeI
on January 25, 1900, but they then
miscarried.
