ator Fair. has been adjudged insane ana
sent to an asylum in Iowa Mrs. Craven
was for many years a teacher In San
Francisco Some months after Fairs
death she set up a claim as his widow
and brought many suits against the Fair

state OF Kentucky. which took place
az Newport. Ky. Monday. July 10Th
reads like the acts in play and the
facts in the case are on a par vita
a sensational romance. The history
OF the celebrated case is briefly told
as follows
Powers is charged with completely
in the murder Of William Goebel at
Frankie, in the winter Of 1900.
For five years he has been in prison
He has been tried four times and sen
fenced 20 death three times. but as
he walked into tne Jail he expressed
hope Of his ultimate acquittal OF the
charge entered against him. He was
the only one Of those charged with
conspiracy 20 murder William Goe-
bel TO be convicted and sentenced to
deatn. His fight for life has been
remarkable. and the attorneys to-day
expressed the belief that three more
years may pass before the end of the
legal complications will make posi-
bic the trial in the federal courts for
which he had applied five weeks ago
at London. Ky.
His case has been removed from
the state court and is now before the
United States Court. which has as
sumed Jurisdiction. The story of
the transfer is graphically told as
follows
The arrival of Caleb Powers at
Newport, Ky. late this afternoon de-
veloped a most astonishing situation
and precipitated a riot and a war a
mong the leading officials of the town
that may yet result in blood-s'ned.
Mayor Helmboid INDUCED in a fist
fight with a Jail guard. caused the
Newport jaiier and both his night
, and day forces. together with a citi-
zen, TO be locked up, and warrants
are being sought for the arrest OF
the mayor and the cnief of police
! upon the charge OF interfering with
the United States officers.
Helmbold made a most strenuous
and unexpected objection to the
placing of Powers in a special cell
IN the Newport jail. which Powers
Republican friends had fitted with
a cot, lace curtains and other things
for comfort to body and eye. He
caused Powers 10 be locked up with
the common herd. among whom
4 were several Negroes. The action
precipitated a contest. the end OF
which can not at present be seen
and In which Il is feared some one
will yet be killed.
Mayor Heimboid appeared sud.
denly at the jail as Powers arrived
at about s o'clock in custody of I'm.
tied States Marshal Steven Sharpe
from Georgetown, KY. He rushed
upon Jailer Bernard Ploeger AND
commanded him to not dare put
Powers in the special cell. known
as the cage" Ploeger objected
and Helmbold grew demonstrative
Guard Charles Wilson. a powerful
man. was coming by with night shift
at that moment. He told Helmboid
that ne was not In command of Pow.
