Governor 6oebeI Declares
Panel Was Packed Against
Him in Former Trial.
IBy Morning Journal Special Leased wIre.l


Georgetown, Ky. Nov. 14.-When
the Powers trial was resumed today
the defense sprang surprise by ten
dering in court an open letter address,
ed by Powers to Sheriff Warning, of
Scott county, whose duty it is to sum-
mon jury from Harrison county. The
letter is as follows:
''The last jury in my case was pack
ed against me and fixed for a convic-
ton, not so much by the sheriff and
his deputies Of this county as by the
sheriff and his deputies of Bourbon
county, from which my jury was
drawn, In that trial the sheriff and
his deputies of Bourbon county, ac-
companied the sheriff and his depu-
ties OF this county, and indicated who
to summon and who not to summon
for jury service. | therefore earnest
ly request you, and through you,
your deputies, to go unaccompanied
by anybody on your tour of selecting
jurymen in my case. | prayerfully be-
seech you to summon as you come to
them In some of the most enlightened
sections of the country, not over
whelmingly democratic. competent
and qualified jurors in my case. re-
gardless OF their political affiliations,
and that you do not let the politicians
and office holders of Harrison county
muddy the stream of justice In this
county. / am, respectfully,
CALEB POWERS"
States Attorney Franklin instantly
objected to the letter. The
court refused to permit 1t to be read
into the record. but allowed 1t to be
rendered to the sheriff. The common
wealth asked for further time before
proceeding, which was granted.
The counter avowal of the prose-
cution in the case of Caleb Powers,
for which a recess was taken, was not
filed this afternoon, as expected, ow-
ing TO ii not having been finished at
4 o'clock, and no afternoon session of
court was held. The avOwal now in
will be made up princi-
pally of a large number of affidavits
given by members of both the senate
and house of the session of 1900, con-
tradicting the sworn statement given
by republican members of the same
body as filed by the defense. The af-
fidavits will state that the proceed
ings of the body were in every way
regular and that the gubernatorial
contest was legally and finally settled
on the second day of February, 1900.
and that William Goebel was legally
sworn in as governor of Kentucky.
After this avowal is filed, the selec-
ton Of the jury will be begun.

FOR FRENCH
GOLD OFF
M0RGAN'S MISSION
TO PARIS A FAILURE
Final Demand That United
States Government Furnish
a Guarantee Could Not Be
Complied With.

Paris. Nov. 1.-THE negotiations
which j. Pierpont Morgan & co. have
been conducting with the Bank OF
France to obtain between twenty and
forty millions in gold for shipment TO
New York were definitely broken off
today They had been In progress
since last week and for a time seemed
on the point of being successful, but
the final demand that the United
States government furnish a guaran-
tee could not be complied with.
The story of the negotiations is sub
stantially as follows:
The Bank of England. which OBJ
tained gold from the Bank of France
ten days ago to meet the New Hors
demand. offered to try and repeat the
operation, but 1t having been learned
indirectly that several regents of the
Bank of France were, as friendly
act to the United states. disposed to
look with favor on a proposition TO
furnish direct aid, negotiations to this
end were begun. The first condition
was that the United States government
should formally request such aid. This
condition was complied with. The
United states government allowed the
French government to understand,
through diplomatic channels. that II
would be ''gratified IL the operation
could be arranged. lhe freuch gov
ernment was favOrably disposed and
communicated with the Bank OF
France. The negotiations were
brought to an end at noon today. The
sum which was sought to be obtained
was between S2O.000.000 and $40,-
GOO. OOO.
J. p. Morgan. Jr., who managed the
negotiations, left Paris for London
Immediately after they were definitely
broken off He was not inclined 10
talk on the subject. but before leaving
this city said TO the correspondent OF
the Associated Press:
The highest financial circles IN
Paris were very favorable. and there
Is general disappointment here that
the Bank Of France did not see It's
way clear to make the transaction.
The effort to secure gold direct
from Paris for New York having fall
ed. IL Is believed IN competent circles
that resort will be had to another tri-
angular effort through England II the
American demand for gold continues.
The proposed transaction Involves
the ultimate return Of the gold 20 the
Bank OF France On the same manner
that the Bank Of England win repay
in gold the three millions in time
sterling bills purchased fortnight
ago by the Bank of France.
