RoAcH's STORY scouTED.
Cobb Powers Says He Knows Moth
 ing of it.


 Georgetown, Ky, Sept. 4-T. c. Roach. who has been living In El Paso, seems to have created quite a sensation yes- terday in Juarez. Mexico. by the state ment that ex-Governor Taylor and Caleb Powers would be willing to give $100.0OO for his head and that he is In possession of papers which if made public. would clear Caleb Powers and condemn ex-Gov- eernor w. s. Taylor.
 The only connection of the Roachs with the Powers case so far as is generally known is that Mrs. Roach was at the last trial and at former trials witness introduced to prove that Caleb Powers. prior to the circumstances which culmi- mated in his arrest, had assumed all re- sponsibility for bringing to Frankfort of the mountain men. Roaeh's statement that what he knew would clear Powers and condemn Taylor, Is not in keeping with such conditions.
 In an interview at the Georgetown jail t,day Powers said:
 ''I know nothing about the Roach story. Al have to say is that somebody some V l ere has information which if given out would clear me. Somebody killed Mir. Goebel, that we know. If the guilty par ties would only come forward and tell the truth would soon be a free man."

He was summoned from Maine and the threat ened exposure Is believed to have unbal- anced his mind.
 Although the investigation has only be- gun,- 1t is alleged to have been found that Edson discounted a note for $25.OO0 pur- porting to be signed by the treasurer of the church; that he cashed several forg- ed checks and that he appropriated to his own use rents and voluntary contri- buttons.
 The church, although 1t has few wealthy members. is heavily endowed and. has properties which yield a large income.
