Georgetown, KY, Nov. 12.-Be-
cause of the absence of about 100
witnesses of the 1872 summoned by
the commonwealth, a postponement
of one day was granted yesterday
by Special Judge John Nor
ris in the fourth trial of Caleb Pow
ers, which was called at George
town. The defense announced that
it would urge trial at this term of
court. A new line of defense will
be adopted, it is believed, and Pow
ers' attorneys will attempt to show
that Henry Youtsey not only con-
cocted the conspiracy which led to
the assassination of William Goebel,
but fred the fatal shot himself.
