STAR WITNESS.
In the Powers Trial Frank Cecil
Gives Evidence.

Georgetown, Aug s.-The feature OF
the day in the Powers trial was the in
PRODUCTION this afternoon by the prose-
cution of one of their star witnesses,
Frank Cecil. who is under Indictment for
the same offense for which Powers is
being tried, but who. after he had been
indicted in January, 1892, as accessory
before the fnct in Governor Goebel's as
sassination, left the state and remained
away for about a year. Cecil, although
under Indictment. apparel at Frankfort
about year ago, was arrested. put under
bond and released and has been at liberty
ever since. He has never been tried.
Cecil's testimony in the Powers case is
an attempt to show the existence of
conspiracy in bringing mountain men TO
Frankfort and to show that Powers was
responsible for that movement.
Cecil said the mountaineers were
drunken set whose expenses were paid
by Powers and that they sang on the
train as they came, Were going to
Frankfort to kill Goebel" Attorney
Franklin produced CeGs receipts to
Powers for $40 expense money which
was identified by Cecil. Cecil further
testified that Governor Taylor had offered
the balance OF 81, 500 in the campaign
fund and a free pardon TO the man
killing Goebel to which Cecil replied that
Taylor must think him crazy Cecil
swore to guarding the arsenal with ten
men the day OF the shooting and after
ward~acting as bodyguard to Governor
Taylor for several days. He said that
Taylor slept away from home the night
of the assassination, probably in his
Office.
The defense decided to await until Mon

1t is reported that sale of lands
in the Highland district has been made
that will result in thorough explora-
ton of the range that will result in
showing whether or not it contains,
as many have claimed, a great body
of ore.
1t was stated Saturday afternoon by
a person in a position to know that iron
men from the Mesaba range had
bought an undivided half interest in
the property owned by Malcolm Mac
Leod, in SAIL, consideration for the
transfer not given, details of the al
legged deal are meager, but it is stated
that the purchasers have gone into the
Highland district attracted by showing
that has developed from the slight ex-

ough exploration to find what the ex-
tent of the iron deposit is.
Iron ore has been found there, and
it assays we'll according to those who
have seen the result, but nothing is yet
known about the extent of the deposits.
Those who are interested there appear
to be full of confidence and they be-

Will Probably Go Insane.

With the sentence of death hanging
over him, Louis Corriveau, the murd-
erer of James Alain at Knife River, is
spending his days in the ST. Louis
county Jail, alternately weeping and
praying.
No murderer ever stood in the shad-
ow of the gallows in more abject fear
The prisoners at the Jail, who have
observed him closely since the court
adjudged that he must die, say that
he will soon break down and lose his
mind
His condition is pitiable. Connected
with it is a circumstance as fantastic
as it is pathetic. Charles Henderson

Corriveau to the scaffold is his only
comforter, the only one capable of in
fusing anything like a. dauntless and
manly spirit into his breast.

quently, exhorting him to bear uT
bravely. Henderson's religious en-
thusiasm. which is largely responsible
for his own fearlessness, seems to
communicate itself to Corriveau when
they are together, but after they sep
arate and are placed in their cells,
despair returns, and the Frenchman
gives up to silent gloom or tears.
