EEB POWERS GOES
TO TRLA1 FOR FOURTH
TIME IN KENTUCKY

teddy three score miles from Frank
fort when the assassins bullet found
its mark. Now the prosecution will
for the fourth time attempt to prove
that the fatal shot was fired from Pow
er's office In the state house by a
hired murderer.
From the time of his arrest bail was
refused Powers. His first trial took
place in July, 1900. seven years ago,
and he was convicted and sentenced
to life Imprisonment. This verdict
was rejected by the court of appeals
on legal and technical grounds. Again
Powers was placed on trial, found
guilty and sentenced for life. Again
he was saved by the court of appeals.
In 1903 he was convicted for the third
time and this time sentenced to death.
The court of appeals also annulled
this trial. In 1905 an appeal was made
to the federal courts, but the United
States supreme court sent the case
back to the Kentucky state courts as
having full jurisdiction.
1t is generally believed that the COM
ing trial will result in a verdict that
will be sustained by the higher courts.
The feeling of bitterness and partisan
hatred which may have operated to
prevent fair trial in the past, has
now about vanished. Popular belief
in the guilt of Powers is not so pro-
nounced as during past trials, and
many men who were once loudest in
accommodation of the mountaineer are
now numbered among his friends.
Governor Taylor, who fled to Indi-
ana following the Goebel murder, is
still in that state. A reward of 81 900
has been offered to anyone who would
kidnap him and return him to Ken
lucky, but no attempt to do this has
been made.

Caleb Powers Will be placed on trial

spiracy in the assassination of William
