He Will Issue a Formal An
nouncement to the Repub-
Iican voters of the District
Within a Few Days.
SITUATION LOCALLY BE-
COMES INTERESTING.
Shiveley May Also Be a Candi-
date and With Kuhn for the
Democrats Richmond Will
Be Political Center.

Wilfred Jessup, proecutinG attorney
for Wayne county, will. within the
course of the next few days. make
formal announcement of his candidacy
for the Sixth district republican nomi-
nation for congress. This is not only
freely asserted among the friends of
Mr.. Jessup, but Mr.. Jessup himself
made the statement that he would
make a formal announcement soon.
The death of Mr.. Jessups grandfath-
er at Cambridge City. called him there
and for that reason he woud not make
a formal announcement today.
Little did the friends OF Jessup think,
when they were discussing the matter
with him few days ago, that he would
enter the race for the republican nomi-
nation this year. At that time when
he was approached upon the subject,
he simply stated: What young man is
there whose ambition is not to repre-
sent his district in congressw This
was not thought at the time at all pc
culiar, neither was 1t considered indi-
cative of Jessup's intentions, so far as
the present campaign is concerned.
For that reason the formal announce
ment that Mr. Jessup desires the repub-
lican sons Of the Sixth district to crown
him with lasting honor. in the shape OF
the nomination, will be received with
some surprise among local politicians.
Situation is Interesting.
With an announcement coming from
Jessup, affairs polite will undoubtedly
take on an interesting condition local
ly. Although Charles r. Shiveley has
not yet announced his candidacy, IL
is thought he will do SO within the
course of the next few weeks and then
there will be two Richmond men in
the battle for the republican nomin-
alton. Incidentally this battle to de-
termine the fittest, is waxing quite
warm in the old burnt district. In ad-
dition to Mr.. Jessup and Mr.. Shiveley
as candidates, the sixth district press
is claiming that the Rev. #. H. Kuhn
of Richmond will undoubtedly be the
choice of the next Democratic convep-
ton owing to the excellent race which
he made against Congressman Watson
in the last campaign. and II this is the
case it is freely predicted that the
next two congressional candidates,
democratic and republican, will be
Richmond men.
Candidates for congress in the Sixth
district and particularly on the repub-
lican side of the fence. are as thick
as mushrooms in early springtime.
They are springing up from all quar-
ters and indications are that there
will, be still others before the nOmin-
ating convention convenes.

BORAH IS
FACING BAD CHARGE
Placed on Trial Before a Jury,
Accused of Fraud in
Land Matters.
PROSECUTED THE MINERS.
BORAH ENTERED SIMPLE PLEA
OF NOT GUILTY AND REFUSED
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TECH.
NICALITIES.

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 23.-United
States Senator William E. Borah, who
acted as one of the principal prosecut-
ors for the state of Idaho at cle recent
trial of William ID. Haywood, secreta-
ry of the Western Federation of min
ers, was placed on trial this morning in
the United States court here, charged
with conspiring to defraud the govern
ment out of title to 1920 acres of
Idaho timber lands. Twelve other per-
sons have been indicted with Senator
Borah. but he is the first to face fed
eral jury, having demanded trial pri-
or to the time he shall present his cre-
dentials as senator next December in
Washington. The other of the defend
ants have interposed demurrers be-
cause of abatement and other legal
technicalities, many of which are still
pending. and have charged that the
United States district attorney. Nor
man H. Ruick. used improper and ille-
gal methods while securing the indict-
ments.
But Senator Borah has simply enter
ed plea of not guilty and has forbid
den his attorneys to take advantage of
any technicalities whatsoever. He has
stated as his desire that the case
should be tried on it's merits.
Conspred to Defraud.
The indictments against Senator Bor-
ah and the twelve others charged that
the yentered into a conspiracy with los
residents of Boise. whereby the latter
were to take up timber land claims of
160 acres each. paying a minimum price
TO the government. and later. when the
claims were finally approved. to trans
fer the land to the Barber Lumber
company, an Idaho corporation, whose
principal officers are residents of Wis
consin. James T. Barber and Samuel
G.. Moon. of Eau Claire, Wis. are
among those indicted. 1t is claimed
that the los entrymen swore that they
were taking out the claims for their
own use and benefit for speculation.
The statements are alleged to have
been false and the government attor-
neys claim the entrymen had all enter
ed into a contract to turn the lands
over to the lumber corporation as soon
as their claims were proved. 1t is fur
ther claimed that Senator Borah and
the other alleged conspirators provided
funds to many of the JOS entrymen to
cover the expenses of taking out their
claims.
The interest aroused by the trial is
intense in this section of the country.
owing to the prominence of all con-
cerned in the alleged conspiracy. One
of the co-defendants with Senator Bor-
ah is Frank Martin. attorney general
of Idaho under former Governor Frank
Steunenberg. who was assassinated by
Harry Orchard.

Powers was surprised at the news of

purporting to give the substance OF an
AFFIDAVIT of Mrs. Lula Clark that she
was on the steps of the state house
the day Governor Goebel was shot and
heard Turner Igo say re shot him, is
regarded here as being fabrication,
as 1t is at variance with ali witnesses
who have testified in the case. Com
monwealth Attorney Franklin, when
asked about the story, said:
Mrs. Clark's story is an absurdity
on its face OF the hundreds OF wit
nesses who have testified in these as
sassination trials not one for either
prosecution or defense has testified
to the presence of a woman anywhere
on the walks, steps or grounds with
in the state house square. There is
but one rear door opening from eth
er state house or executive building.
That door is basement door ana
opens into the gentlemen's toilet un-
der the auditors office. Certainly
Mrs. Clark and her friend, Miss King,
were not entering there.
"She could not have meant that she
was on the steps at that door for there
are no outside steps at that place
There is a west entrance door in the
hallway Of the executive building and
there are several steps leading up to
that door, but Mrs. Clark and Miss
King were not on those steps as has
been absolutely proven by Senator
Newton Frazier, who stood about
twenty feet from those steps immed-
lately facing them when the shot was
fired and he has sworn in all these
trials that until after the shots were
fired there was no one on those steps
at ALL
Entrance Doors Closed.
"The west entrance doors were SOL
i'd wooden pannelIed and were closed.
There was no one In sight in the open
space west of the executive building
and east of the legislative building at
the time of the firing of the shot.
"E. T. Lillard and Col. Jack Chinn
have testified in substance to the
same Mrs. Clarks statement that at
the time the shot was fired she MOTTO
ed a man standing just inside the door
whom she recognized as Sanford is
disproven by Liewellyn F. st. Clair,
the republican postmaster at George
town, KY, one of Caleb Powers clos
est friends and warmest sympathizers,
who on the first trial of Caleb Pow
ers, testified that he alone was in the
hallway at the time the shot was fired
and on Jim Howard's third trial this
same ST. Clair was asked this ques-
fion:
Was there any one in that hall
way or on those steps or about the
foot of the steps when you went down
there or while you were in the hail
way?' he was asked, and he answered
unequivocally, No. sir so Sanford
was not just inside the door. Meth
er was Mrs. Clark and her friend.
