WANTS EARLY TRIAL.
stiII Hopeful OF Having Case Called
This Summer.

Lexington, Ky, Aug. 2--Caleb Powers
is still hopeful OF getting a trial this
summer. He was IN conference to-day
for a short time with one of HIS attorneys.
Powers would make TO comment upon
the proposition Of Commonwealth At
t0rney Franklin TO give protection to
former Gov. w S. Taylor should he de-
sire TO come to Kentucky and testify in
his behalf. His friends say that Franklin
could not give such protection, since a
bench warrant has been issued for the
arrest OF Taylor and a reward has been
offered, giving any peace officer the right
10 arrest him.
Powers attorneys say that II It were
possible to place Gov. Taylor on the wit
ness stand Commemorative Attorney
Franklin would find that his case against
Powers would be badly crippled before
they got through with him. However.
they do not think seriously OF the oppor-
tunity Of placing the unfortunate Repub-
Iican governor Of Kentucky upon The
witness stand.
Powers was much pleased at the news
mat Wv DtChHdAh HibHL MAKE an
appointment Of a special judge to-day.
Should this case be passed this time he
might not get trial this year. because
the regular work Of the circuit would en-
gage the attention Of Commonwealth s
Attorney Franklin. Some believe that
Powers case would not be permitted to
come 20 trial before the fall election.
Should a Republican governor be elected
in November, Powers attorneys say they
would issue an order FOR immediate trial.
