DOWN AT GEORGETOWN, KY.
Seek Now to Connect Defendant
With Conspiracy.
THE PROSECUTION SURPRISED
First Testimony Today Of Eye-Wit-
ness-Saw Goebel Shot-Point
in Favor Of Defense.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEXINGTON. KY. November 3O.-ln
the Caleb Powers case at Georgetown to-
day the prosecution introduced the hrst
evidence tending to show Powers con-
nection with conspiracy to kill Goebel.
Zack Thompson. policeman. saw Goebel
fall and heard one shot A few seconds
later he heard three more. He attempted
to investigate at the executive building.
but Gov Taylor had soldiers guarding
every door and he was kept out.
A great point in favor of Powers was
given by Judge D. B. Fields, former sher-
If of Letcher county, who swore that he
was asked by Wharton Golden of Letcher
county to supply an army. of men to kill
Goebel. Fields swears that he declined.
On cross-examination Fields said Powers
declared if there was to be violence he
would drop the whole matter.
The commonwealth has changed its tao
tics from the course pursued in the for
mer trials of Powers, and is now seeking
to connect him with a conspiracy to muir
der Senator Goebel instead of completely
in the actual affair. This Is conclusfvely
shown by the commonwealth methods
of examining witnesses. They have proved
that the shot that killed Goebel came
from Powers Office in the executive build
and Maj. Owens announced that to save
time he would admit that the shot came
from the secretary of states office. This
was rather surprising to the prosecution.
as this admission had never been made
before.
Testimony Of an Eyewitness.
Drs. z. E. Hume. James Kelley and
Thomas Welsh. who attended Goebel,
testified to the nature Of his wound.
R. III. Bergman, an eyewitness to the
shooting, late Friday gave graphic de-
scription. Goebel and Col. Jack Chinn
were walking just in front of him when
the shot was fired, Goebel staggered and
sank slowly to the ground, finally re-
clining on his back. The shot or shots
appeared to have come from the executive
building. He said previously to this
some members of Gov. Goebels mountain
| army had asked him. to point Goebel out
to them. Bergman did not then see
| Goebel, and the mountaineers, who were
armed, went elsewhere to look for him.
! Robert Noakes of Whitley county, a
! star witness for the state at former trials
arrived today from Chicago. Noakes de-
| clares that at the instance of Powers and
| his brother John he got a military com

would be terminated in the killing OF
Goebel.

Examiner today says that three of the
largest insurance companies doing busi-
ness on the coast have been denied by

business in this state.
The companies Affected are the Pala-
tine Of London, the Commercial Union of
London and the Williamsburgh of New

The trouble arose, it is said. because
the three companies would not submit to

against the companies for losses sus-
tanned in the great fire. but insisted on
taking the suits into the United States
courts.
A law was enacted at the last regular

Since the resumption Of the Brownsviiie
Investigation by the Senate committee on
military affairs there has been renewed
interest in the probable lineup OF the
committee members when the conclusion
has been reached for presentation to the
Senate. 1t is known that those senators
who think the same way on seevral of the
main questions involved, basing their
opinions on the testimony thus far taken.
have been comforting informally with a
view to determining the exact position
they will take.
The rumor that President Roosevelt VIII
not find a source of great satisfaction IN
the report is gaining credence. One rumor
is to the effect that the minority Will In
clude five republicanS, namely. Senators
Faroker. Scott. Gulkeley, Hemenway and
Fulton and that only three republicans.
Senators Warren. Lodge and Warner. will
20 with the democrats in upholding the
Presidents action. There is said to be
some doubt, even in the minds OF those
most closely in touch with the SITUATION,
as to Senator Fulteus position, but at
praseTft he is being counted with the
minority.
The Present Lineup.
According to present indications the va
rious members of the committee will
stand as follows on the various PROPOSE
tions involved: 'r~
Senator's Warren, Lodge and Warner.
who have sided from the beginning with
the President will come out strongly In
the belief that the testimony shows the
shooting was done by the colored troops.
who were, therefore. rightly discharged
from the service.
Senators Foster, Overman. Blackburn
and Taliaferro, democrats, who have also
been convinced from the first that the tes-
timony would show the shooting to have
been done by the colored soldiers. will
side with the President.
Senator Fulton. who has been favorable
to Senator Foraker's position heretofore.
is now somewhat doubtful, and may go
either way
Senator BulkeIey is said to hold the
opinion. as things now stand. merely that
somebody shot W. the town of Browns
Vile, but that the evidence does not
clearly establish who did 1t.
Senators Scott and Hemenway, it is ur-
derstood are prepared to acquit the SOL
diers of the charge of committing the act,
on the ground that there is insufficient
evidence and are of the belief that there
has been no conspiracy of silence" since
the affair.
That the colored troops were not guilty;
that they not only did not. but could not
have done the shooting under the circum-
stances. and that there was absolutely
no justification for the Presidents action
will te Senator Foraker's stand.
There is likely to be more to detract
from the Presidents satisfaction over the
outcome than the fact that only three re-
publicans will side with him. 1t is re-
ported that the republicans who will sign
the majority report want to incorporate
therein recommendation that those SOL
diers who can show they were not in
volved be reinstated.

that since the crude time Of the Moscow
czars the autocracy had done nothing to
elevate the condition of the people, had
ruined happy and prosperous sections of
the Russian empire and had inculcated,
in place Of the original Slavic principles
of liberty and civi rights. a Byzantine
despotism. which had brought rapine and
desolation in its train. He maintained
that the opposition parties loved the
country passionately, but they wished to
make 1t possible for the humblest in
habitant to have the same equality before
the throne and in the eyes Of the law and
the same pride in Russian citizenship as
the highest dignitary in the empire.

PRISONER FAILING FAST.
Davenport Man Confined at Anamosa
Still Librarian Of Penitentiary.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Feb. 27.-Officers of the
state penitentiary at Anamosa fear
that S. F. Smith. of this city, will not
live to serve out his term of eleven
years. They state that If steps are
not taken in his behalf in the near
future for his. pardon he will succumb
to the attacks of flemorrhages from
which he has been suffering frequently
during the past few months. His adj
vanced age is not only telling on him.
but he has had numerous attacks OF
hemorrhages of the throat, which have
greatly weakened him, so that the best
of care is being taken of him.
Mr.. Smith is still librarian at the
penitentiary, in charge of the distribu-
ton Of the 1000 volumes to the pris-
oners, and he is still regarded with
that respect which has been, rendered
him as prisoner since he has been
confined at Anamosa.
Thus far his physical condition has
not prevented. him from attending to.
the duties assigned to him, but he is
quite weak from the numerous hem
Orrhages.

CORN MOVEMENT suBslDlNe.
Season is at Hand When Farmers
Deliveries Diminish.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-There has been
an unprecedented movement of corn to
Chicago and primary points since jan
uary 1, which has never been equaled,
but it is not surprising when it is con-
sidered that the crop last year was the
largest IN record, nearly 3,000,000,000
bushels. The maximum of the move
ment is believed to be over. Country
elevators are cleaning up despite the
shortage in cars. The season is at hand
when farmers deliveries fall off, and
most reports at the close said pur-
chases from them We're the highest in
recent weeks. From now on farmers
will be busy in the fields and lighter
arrivals are always looked for under
such conditions. While the big move
ment has been on. prices have adj
vanced cents, and were at almost the
top at the close Saturday, gaining "
Bc for the week.
In the face of the big movement of
corn the available supply which in
Guided more points than the visible
is F,574,O00 blu, or 100000 bu less
than last year, and exports have been
SO, $4,000 blu since July l, or 41,000,000
bu less than the same time last year.
Chicago has stock of 6,526,000 blu,
compared with 6,721,000 blu a year ago.
But there is only $4,000 blu contract
here compared with 3,246,000 bu last
year. In the face of this movement
prices have advanced sc.
A large open interest is apparent in
May and shorts show uneasiness, al
tho 1t is early for them to become
really alarmed. Those who are real
bullish advocate purchases of May and
sales of July as they are only ssc
apart, and unless there is a large
quantity of contract corn made within
the next week the leading bull interest
will have its own way in making prices
when the time for delivery comes. 1t
was noticeable on the advances last
week that provision interests who are
themselves holders of corn We're mod
crate sellers, but their original lines
were not, disturbed.
