JURY FREES HAYWOOD.
Probability OF Acquittal Was Freely
Predicted After Judge Woods
CHARGE Was Read.

1By Special Wire to the ARGUs.)
Boise, I'd aaso, July 29.-In the bright
sunlight OF a beautiful Sabbath morn
ing William d.. Haywood, secretary
and treasurer of the Western Federa-
ton OF Miners Malked a free man to-
day, acquitted of the murder OF former
Governor Frank Gutenberg.
Probability of :acquittal was freely
predicted after Judge Fremont Wood
read his charge, which was regarded as
strongly favering the defense in its in
depreciation of the laws of conspiracy,
circumstantial evidence and the cor
federation of a confessed accomplish.
It was also freely predicted that. in
the event of Haywood's acquittal, the
State would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles FL. Meyer,
president of the Federation, and Geo.
A. Pettibene, OF Denver. Statements
from counsel and from Governor Good
ing, issued today, dispel this view of
the situation.

Georgetown, KY, July 29.-A spe-
ciaI term of the Scott Circuit Court con-
vened today to try the case of Caleb
Powers for conspiracy in the murder of
the late Governor William Goebel.
The case will be tried before Judge j..
e. Robbins, of Graves county, who
presided at Powers last trial, and who.
has been designated by Governor
Beckham as special Judge for the pres
emit trial.
The trial about to begin is the fourth
trial Of the FAMOUS case. Three times
has Powers been convicted of COM
plicity in the Goebel assassination.
Twice he has been sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life, and once to be
hanged
The present trial is the outcome of a
decision made by Justice Harlan ofthe
United States Supreme Court, who rem
dered his opinion that the jurisdiction
of the State and not the federal courts
was paramount after the case had
three times gone to the Court OF APP
peals, which ordered a new trial each
time.
The friends of Powers desired to
have the present trial held before a fed
eral court, advancing for their argu-
ment the statement that Powers was
being deprived of his constitutional
rights for a fair trial. They based
their charges on Powers two former
trials, when the juries were composed
OF IL GoebeI men, while, at his last
trial, IL of the men who held his fate in
their hands were followers of the Goe-
bel faction, although the remaining
juror was act closely allied to any
party.
The story of the murder of William
Goebel is one of the most unusual in
the criminal annals of the country.
The Kentucky Legislature appropri.
ated $l0e, 200 to ferret out the assassins
and bring them to justice.
Powers friends have stood by him
Loyalty, and were it not for the assist.
anee they have rendered him he would
have long since been in the peniten.
tiary and forgotten. When he was ar,
rested he did not have q dollar anc
public sentiment was against him; bu1
when Ii Legislature appropriated
500, 900 to prosecute him and those in.
dicted with him his friends went t.
work to raise funds to assist him.
It has been said that every promi.
nent Republican in the United States
has contributed to the big sum raised
for his defense, and among them are
mentioned the names of Presiden1
Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and the late
Senators Quay and Hanna.
Powers apparently has not suffered
in health from his seven years con.
fnement in Jail. Hel takes exercises
regularly every day and spends much
O. his time reading and writing. Dur
ing his stay in prison he has written &
history of his life, which he has placed
on the market and from which he has
derived a considerable sum.
