SCHAUM FACES
CHARGE OF PLOT
Father of Bobrikoff s Assassin on
Trial-Plans Found in
House.

Abo, Finland, Oct. 26.-The trial Of
former Senator Schaumann, father of
Eugene Waldemar Schaumann, the as
sassin of the late Governor General
Bobrikoff, arrested on July on suspi-
cion of having had knowledge of his
son 8 crime, is arousing great popular
interest. The Indictment charges him
with conspiracy against the govern
ment.
When his house was searched June
II, the day after Bobrikoff's assassina-
tion, Police Inspector Molodkin found
plans for general arming and training
appeals exhorting the people to pre-
serve political alertness and be pre-
pared for any eventuality.
Schaumann in his reply does not deny
the authorship Of the plans, but con-
tests the revolutionary Interpretation
given to them. He pleaded not guilty.
Baron Langenskoell counsel for the
defendant, asked that the case be post
poned until the witnesses of the &C.
cused could be summoned and that in
the meantime Schaumann be released
on bail. The latter request was refused.
but the case was adjourned until Nov. 8.

BLACK LONG IN CASE
Powers Says New Yorker Will Handle
Appeal If Needed.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 26.-In his cell
IN the county jail here today, Caleb
towers, who was secretary Of state I'M
der the Taylor administration, and who
was sentenced to be hanged on Thanks
giving Day, as an accessory before the
fact to the murder of William Goebel
said that. former Governor Black had
been in the case for some time.
Powers was twice sentenced to life
Imprisonment, and an appeal on error
is now pending before the Kentucky
court of appeals on his last trial. II
case the court of appeals renders q de-
cision unfaIvorable to Powers, an at
tempt will be made to take the case tc
the supreme court of the United States
and ex-governor Black is expected to
take hold Of the case in that contin.
gency.
Powers does not think the former
governor will come to Kentucky and ad.
mits that he is in the case voluntarily
and without remuneration. The report
caused considerable comment in Louis,

PERIL FOR POWERS
Former Governor Will Trv to
Save Life Of Goebel's Ac-

New York Sun Special Service,


w. Mount Vernon, N; Y, Oct. 2e.-Im,
Frank s. Black will leave for Frank.
tort, ,Ky;, to. enter into the greatest
legal battle Of his career with the hope
of saving the life of Caleb Powers, the
young man who is awaiting execution
bel.
Ex-Governor Black volunteered his
services free of charge several weeks
ago, but his action has been known to
only a few intimate friends. He be-
lieves young Powers is innocent. and
declares that he will clear him even
It he has to take the case to the United
States supreme court. -.
The defense will involve Mr.. Black
IN no little risk, as the feeling of the
kentuckians is still very bitter, and
many of the witnesses he will have to
visit live in the mountain regions IA
nous for political MURDERS.
Ex-Governor Black first took an in
terest IN the case by reading of it in
the newspapers. He frequently ex.
pressed the opinion that he did not be-
lleve Powers fred the shot that killed
Governor Goebel, but was being perse-
cuted for political reasons. He said
It he could spare the time he would
like to go to Kentucky and put IN 3
fight to save his life.
His remarks reached Powers fri>Sls.
and he received a letter from the family
inviting him to take hand in the case.
Mr.. Black at first declined. but the
family insisted on his going. and he at
last consented. He stated, however.
That ne would take no retainer. e- -
