HILTON TESTIFlES
IDENTIFIES GUN WITH WHICH
 GOEBEL WAS KILLED.
Say Whe Gave Him Weapon, But He Thought 1t Was
 YOutAey.


 Georgetown, Ky, Dec 23.-The sev- enth week of the trial of Caleb Powers for complicity in the assassination of William Goebel, opened today.
 Police Judge J. N. Hubbard of Cray son, Ky, was recalled to identify a letter written by him to Powers. which embodied the substance of his sensa- tional testimony given Saturday rela- tive to a plan to kill Goebel outlined to him by Youtsey. The letter was written by Judge Hubbard to Powers while the latter was in the Newport jail.
 J. L. Hopkins, the next witness, gave equally sensational testimony, recount ing a conversation he had with Yout- sey in the Agricultural building, two days before Goebel was shot, in which Youtsey said: "I have sent to Cin- cinnati for some cartridges that will fix him (meaning GoebeD and I will give $100 to any man who will fire the shot. but If can't get anybody else to do the work. l will do 1t myself"
 Albert Helton, in whose possession was found the Marlin rifle with which Goebz gel was shot, was on the stand to identify and trace the gun. He identi- fled the weapon by it's number, but was unable to say positively who gave 1t to him. He said directly after the shooting of Goebel when he (Helton) went Into the hall of the executive building, where several persons were gathered about the door of Caleb Pow ers's office. from which the shot was fired, trying to force an entrance. some person handed the gun to htns during the excitement. He thought the man who gave him the gun was person who had been pointed out to hlm as

 of State under Powers. and before that

 spirators. but he was not indicted with
 the others. Since leaving Kentucky,
 his whereabouts have been unknown.
 save by a few friends. He said today
 that he had been in a small town in Indiana. near Indianapolis. Davidson's appearance here caused a sensation. 1t had been the purpose of the de- fense to have James B. Howard on the stand today but because of the illness of w. M. Smith, attorney for the de- fense, who had expected to examine Howard, the testimony was deferred until tomorrow.
 aOWdro was m the WitneSe rum III the morning but was not returned in the afternoon.
 Just before adjournment tonight the desposition of W. s. Taylor, taken in 1903, and read in the last trial of Pow CTS. was again put in evidence. Judge w. L. Brown. who for some time occupied the bench in the Laurel Circuit Court, this afternoon testified that James B. Howard was in London. Laurel county, on the morning of Jan uary 29. 1900, and that the witness had talk ed with Howard.
 The reading of the desposition of former Governor W. S. Taylor was not completed when the court ad- journed. |. In a general way the testimony was denial of all the facts related by witnesses for the commonwealth. He
 denied any complicity in the killing or
 Goebel. He also denied dictating to
 Youtsey the alleged letter to Howard.

Tschikovsky Is Held Secretly Without
 Hint of Accusation.
 St. Petersburg. Dec. 23.-The case Of Nicholas E. Tschaikovsky. the Russian patriot who was arrested early in De- cember, has not yet been entered upon the stage of judicial investigation.
 M. Tschaikovsky Is still in the hands of the secret police, who are legally authorized to hold a prisoner for one Attorney On account of the tradi- tional mystery observed by the third secion, it is difficult to obtain the slightest hint as to the ultimate &C., cusation against M. Tschaikovsky. and the officers of the prosecutor and pre- feet profess the utmost indifference in the matter. In the meantime M. Tschakiovsky is not allowed to commit nicate with his friends.
 All lthe editors of The Sevodnia. an afternoon newspaper of this city. who were taken into custody December IS have been released. It is explained that the arrest of these men was due to the discovery among the papers of the Terrorist leader. Wienatien. who was arrested in Findlay a fortnight ago, of a certain document addressed to the Council of the Empire and signed by the editor of Sevodnia. This led to the supposition that the mem bers of the staff of the paper were im- plicated in the Terrorist machinations against General Durnov, Premier Sto- lvpin. Admiral Doubassoff and other high officials of the terrorist list who constantly attend the sessions of the Council.
 Examination, however, proved the signatures to the documents to be forgeries.
