THE POWERS FUND.

The Powers fend has reached a
goodly sum, but is not yet more than
half of what 1t ought TO be at the
lowest estimate. Several persons we'll
able to give have not so far contrib
uted anything. Many places that
were expected to take interest in this
fund have not been, so far, heard
from. II every Republican and indie
pendent voter in the state gave a
dime only the fund could be easily
swollen to $4,000. If one hundred
thousand voters, determined to see a
fair trial given Mr.. Powers, contrib

be secured. Are there not one hun
dred thousand people in this state in
terested in keeping political parti-
sanship and passion out of the state
courts and jury rooms? Is not every
citizen of Kentucky, in fact, pro-
foundly concerned in justice fairly
and impartially administered? The
Powers fund is a non-partisan move
ment. II is not in any sense designed
to defeat the ends Of justice. Its OBJ
1ect Is TO give man, who mas al

chance to prove. his innocence. There

necessary amount is subscribed to en-
able TO secure a new trial. Mr..
Powers will get his just rights. These
rights, inherent to American citizen
ship, have been. according to the
states highest tribunal, several times
denied him. Shall not Kentucky fair
mindedness and generosity prove
equal to the demand, now made in
the name of Justice and Humanity?

needed to secure him justice.

wRANGLE OVER SHERIFF CASE

The tight of the commonwealth or
county attorney to subpoena witness
es to 20 before the grand jury was
brought up In circuit court this NOR
ming by County Attorney Graves.
Judge Reed stated for the benefit of
all concerned that the grand jury
was entitled to the services of the
two attorneys whenever II needed
them. but that all subpoenas must
be signed by the foreman of the
grand jury before they become legal
and effective.
This means that no matter how
much the commonwealth or county
attorney want witness before the
Grand jury. II the foreman does not
sign subpoena the witness cannot
be made to attend.
The case this morning resulted
from disagreement over the inves-
legation Of the alleged Irregularities

up, IL is alleged.
Foreman Mcconnell sal dthis az
ternoon that Judge Lightfoot stated
a short time ago that he was coming
before the grand jury in regard to
the sheriff muddle, but he hadn't
been up yet.
County Attorney Graves wanted a
subpoena for him., Il seems, as he
failed to come and Foreman McCon-
nell refused to issue It, He said that
II Judge Lightfoot wanted to come
before the grand jury I'm regard TO
the case, he would be heard. but that
no subpoena would be issued for him.
Hence he refused County Attorney
Graves request to issue the subpos a
ma. Attorney Graves wanted to issue
II himself and theDIr the question
whether or not II would be legal
came up. and Attorney Graves sub
mitted II to Judge Reed this morn
ing, with the result that the court
decided the foreman of the grand ju-
ry has to sign all subpoenas for
grand jury witnesses.
Foreman Mcconnell said this af-
ternool that he would issue no sub
poena for Judge Lightfoot, but that
If Judge Lightfoot. wants to come be-
fore the grand jury, he can do so
at any time.
Judge Lightfoot has not said what
he will do, but It is supposed that he
will go without subpoena, since the
grand jury has declined to issue one
for him.
