MAY CLEAR
CALEB POWERS

Bakersfield, CAL, Dec. 2s--charles
Il. Ehler on cot In the county hospital
suffering from a wound presumably
self inflicted, has admitted to the su-
perintendent, Franz Buckrus, that he
has information as to the killing OF
Governor VIM. Goebel Of Kentucky.
which, II It weie adduced on the wit
ness stand, It IS alleged, would clear
Caleb Powers, former secretary of
state Of Kentucky and now under sem
tence of death for completely in the
murder Of the late governor
A few days ago Powers wrote from
the Blue Grass state to Ehler in Bak-
ersfeld, saying in substance:
Il see by a press dispatch that you
may be an important witness in the
Goebel murder For six years | have
lain in prison and three times l have
been sentenced to death for a crime Of
which I am as innocent as the angels
around the throne il you have any IN
formation that viii throw light on the
death Of Governor Goebel. then for
Gods sake declare yourself and aid
in proving my innocence"
Ehler, on receiving this letter per-
mltted superintendent Buclzrus to read
It. and the latter, recognizing its i'm
portance, questioned Ehler closely,
whereupon TIE latter admitted that he
could give testimony that would save
the life Of Powers and he intimated
that If the ex-secretary's execution
we're imminent he would give such
testimony.
When Mr.. Buckrus had read the let
ter Of the condemned official he said
do you know anything that would
clear this man of the charge OF mur-
derg"
Ehler, who is racked with pain, after
moments silence, nodded his head.
Then said the superintendent, 'in
Gods name why don't you declare your
self2'
because it would implicate others,
Ehler replied.
"But you would not see an innocent
man executed" said the superintepd-
ent Indignantly.
Ehler then nesitated for moment
and said:
well, Caleb Powers is not executed
yet thereupon ne closed his eyes and
refused to say more.
Powers has been notified of this ad-
missions, and whether any steps viii
be taken by the authorities is not
known here.
1t was shortly after midnight IN .te
morning OF the seventh Of December
last that Ehler was mysteriously shot
in front of the Southern hotel in this
city. He passed out of the corridor Of
the hotel and a few minutes later a
shot was fred, the bullet striking
Ehler in the breast. No assailant was
in sight when help came, nor was any
weapon to be found, and none was dis
covered on Ehler's person.
