Judge Refuses Powers's Plea to Gust
Baliffs.

Special Judge Morris has refused
to grant the plea of Caleb Powers to
remove Deputy Sheriffs Neal and
Salyers from custody of his incom-
plete jury panel at Georgetown, de-
claring that he has no power to in
terfere in the duties of sheriff. un-
less it can be conclusively shown
that he has not performed his duties
in a lawful manner.
Powers charged that Neal and Sal
yers were unfriendly to him because
of certain charges he made against
them in connection with their having
summoned the jury venire from Harri-
son count.
The report from Charleston. W.
Va, that Robert Ashe had stated
there that he could produce three
witnesses from Breathitt county to
prove that James Sutton, ex-sheriff
of Whitley county, had fired the shot
that killed Goebel, has created much
comment and Ashe will be given an
opportunity to produce his witnesses.
Sutton was arrested at Louisville
shortly after Goebel was killed,
charged with the murder, bttt was lat
err released. From happy go-lucky
sort OF fellow he became morose and
melancholy and few months after
Goebel was killed he committed sui
eide by jumping from a bridge into
the Cumberland river
