THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Wednesday.
MIR. KINKEAD ON POWERS.

No one can read the able reply of
Attorney Robert O. Kinkesd, one of
Caleb Powers attorneys, to Judge"
Lewis McQuown's studied political
essay rejected by McOlure's, without
being struck by ITS truthfuluess and
fairness. The Courier-Journal, in a
semblsnce of fairness, publishes it
because doubtless, after denouncing
the New York publication for re-
fusing to publish McQuown's views
on the ground that q magazine should
publish both sides, it didn't dare re-
fuse TO 90 back on its own theory. 1t
takes particular pains, however, to
editorislly note in the same issue
that Mr.. Kinkead's article is "the
merest piece Of special pleading, de-
irving its force from many distortions
of fact and halfstatements Of testi-
mony as well as from certain assump-
tions which could not be maintained
If subjected to a close analysis.
It also informs its readers in the
headlines over the reply, so they will
not bagin reading it under the erron-
eous impression that it is to be
created, that zone OF the attorneys
of the condemned man undertakes to
reply to Mr.. Lewis MeQuown, and
supplements il with the headline,
"Clever but Imperfect Pleading"
The Courier-J Journals real anti
pathy to publishing the article, and its
obvious conviction that it is force
full present ation Of facts, are too eyi.
dent to require further calculation.
The article speaks for itself, and
calmly and concisely reviews somo Of
the Democratic outrages incident to
those political persecutions-it would
require several issues of the paper to
recount them oil. The people Of
Kentucky-or rather those who read
the Democratic papers, have been In
duced TO believe in the guilt Of the
alleged Goebel conspirators BY the
evidence and alleged facts dished up
to them IN garbled iustallments by the
Democratic papers. 1t is only human
nature for them to so believe. They
believe, not because they are unfair,
bloodthirsty, or too partisan or too
prejudiced to do justice to all men,
but because they have been misled.
If they knew the facts they would
soon realize what a NOR strous chi line
has been committed against justice
and the men tried and convicted Of
the Goebel murder. MIR. Kinkead's

PECULIAR CASE
BULLET IN MR.. SAM LEIBEL's
LEO WAS FLAT.

DIR. p. b. Grifiith, who yesterday
performed an operation on Mr.. Sam
Liebel and extracted a bullet from
his leg, kept the bullet as curiosity.
DR.. Griffith has taken many bullets
from wounds, but states this is the
first no ever saw hsttened out so per.
feotly. The ball struck bone and
nsttened out to the thicb ness Of ten
cent piece. A portion of the cloth
from Mr.. Leibel's trousers was carried
with the bullet and was sticking on
the lead.

article deals with the court records.
He is an attorney Of high standing, 10
not q politician or chairman of any
politicsl committee. and would have
nothing to gain and everything to lose
by misrepresentation.
He is familiar with every feature
of the trials and with the records,
and would hardly venture to misstate
anything when it could so clearly be
disproven. Ii is regretted that what
he has to say cannot be read in every
home in the state. Doubtless many
Democrats would not read it, as they
don't want to see OF hear anything in
defense of the men against whom their
minds have been persistently poisoned
for the past four years, but large
majority Of Democrats are fsirer than
that, and would find quite revela-
tion in 1.-THE other side." Attorney
Kinkead ends his article with these
words:
~ wish now to repeat what have
always honestly believed and contend
cd for. and that is-that when the
truthful history of this terrible crime
is finally written-snd it will be some
day-it will be established that the
only conspiracy proven by the records
of these trials is the oEe formed TO
unlswfully take human lives for po-
litical purposes conspiracy more
horrible to contemplate than that
charged in the indictment against
Powers.
LET me in closing say that Powers
may be hung on this charge, but il he
is, the darkest chapter in Kentucky's
history will have been closed, and
those who cause his death may, when
their extended bloodstaIned hands are
pleading for justice, shrink back from
the contemplation Of those stains and
cry in vain as did Lsdy Macbeth

John Rhea, one OF our free silver
fire eaters, has Withdrawn from the
race for congress in the Third dis
trict, because, it is alleged, he can
stand the Democratic flop TO sound
money. This Is probably a mistake.
Mr.. Rhea is one of those Democrats
who can stand anything for the sake
of a job or the prospect of one.

BOY WAS
DROWNED
AT PHENIx

There was a sad drowning accident al
which the victim was Pierre Litilian, a
stepson OF Dethore Belanger OF that VII
by the name OF his stepfather, was about
10 years Of age and was on his way to the
shadows beneath the Phenix bridge for a
bath
Instead OF taking the regular bridge the
lad thought he would walk over on the
OF the Pewtuxet Valley water company.
This is about two feet wide and Is located
just below the other bridge.
When about half way over the lad q
foot slipped off the brace on which he
was walking and he was precipitated in
10 the river, about Is feet deep IN this
place The shock and his fright made
him unable to help himself and as he was
not a swimmer any way he sank at once.
Archie Brown, con OF Archie Brown Of
Phenix a lad about the same age as the
one who had fallen, was on the bank and
he gallently plunged into the river, fully
dressed as he was 10 attempt 10 save the
drowning youngster. He caught him opt
his strength was not sufficient TO enable
him TO hold up the heavier lad and he
wss forced TO relinquish his hold ana
swim 10 the bank himself.
Elmer r. Page OF the Phenix Electric
company whose shop overhangs the Paw
tuxet river at this place heard the cries
OF the boys In the water and he made
several unavailing attempts to recover
the lad
After the boy had been down for about
Is minutes his body was brought to the
surface by Edward Bailey. who for three
years was a midshipman on the u. s. 8.
There was no hoat I'm this mart OF
the river between the dams so the sailor
towed the body ashore and 1t was worked
over for a half hour by DR.. Reoch.
His efforts were unavailing and the
medical examiner, Or. Christy of River
point was summoned and permission was
given later To remove the body to the un-
dertakers shop.

There was another deluge OF oil poured
