my acquaintance, are accustomed to

and the punishment of DEATH" was re-
ported into court at 11:20 o'clock to-
day. Several hundred people crowd
ed the court room when the verdict
was read and the most intense silence
prevailed. s The jury was polled and
each man declared the verdict of guilt
to be his finding. Powers sat unmov.
ed while his attorneys asked for time
to make a motion for q new trial.
Arthur Goebel broke down from
the strain on hearing the verdict of
guilty. The jurors decline to state
what occurred in the jury room.
George Wyatt was foreman.
Arthur Goebel, brother of the vic
tim, is prominent merchant at Gin.
cinnatt and has spent his time and
fortune for over three years in the
prosecution of those accused of being
in a conspiracy to kill his brother.
Powers has been convicted twice be.
fore, this being the third trial in which
the jury brought in a verdict of gull.
ty against himself At the previous
trials he escaped with sentence to
life imprisonment, as the evidence was
not sufficiently strong against him to
lead the jury to infict the extrems

The latest trial was distinguished
by the fact that Powers addressed the

review of the case showed himself to
be very competent attorney, while
his eloquenoe in pleading for his life
astounded those who had watched him
carefully in the past trials OF the case,
