.GOEBE[ MURDER PLOT
-.---'--- - ~, :
F. Wharton Golden Accuses
Powers Direct.
DOES NOT FACE PRISONER
Confesses That He Participated in
the Conspiracy.
OTHERS ARE IMPLICATED
DOES NOT FACE PRISONER
Defense Claims That It Can Easily
Disprove All Of the Testimony
Given Yesterday.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEXINGTON, KY, December with
his face carefully averted from the man
he was accusing, F. Wharton Golden, for
merly of Bell county, but who now lives
in Colorado, today detailed story on the
witness stand in the Caleb Powers case
at Georgetown which, If true, fastens
the responsibility for Senator Goebers
murder on the shoulders of Powers and
Gov w. s. Taylor.
Golden told his story in a careful. we'll
modulated voice, and the people in the
courtroom listened in breathless silence.
Golden admitted that he agreed to sew
eral plots to murder Goebel, and that he
had been indicted for completely. He
swore that the first plot against Goebel
was outlined to him by Caleb Powers in
the cemetery at Frankfort one Sunday
afternoon. Powers said, after saying
Goebel must be killed. according to
Golden, the best thing to do was to start
a riot in the legislative hall and kill Goe.,
bel there. Golden objected to this sug-
gesting that Goebel be either shot as he
went to the capitol or in the dining room
at the hotel. Numerous plans were out
lined, the last meeting, he claimed, being
in Gov. Taylor's office, when Powers and
others were present, and the plans were
made which were afterward carried out
by the shooting of Goebel from Powers
office window.
Summoned the Mountaineers.
Golden swore that Powers ordered him
to summon a gang of bad men from the
mountains, who would be armed with A.
caliber pistols and who would not hesitate
to fight when they were taken to Frank
fort. Golden says he secured fifteen of
these men, each of whom had killed from
three to five men. He exhibited receipts
which he claimed had been given by him
| to Powers for money with which to secure
these men. Golden declared that Powers
and Taylor said that Goebel must be
killed. Gov. Taylor said:
1T is an awful thing to kill man,
but we must fight for our rights"
On the day Of the murder, Golden swears
| he saw John L. Powers come out of Gov
| Taylors Office and give James Howard a
| key. Caleb Powers said that that was
| the wrong key. and Henry Youtsey then
| gave Howard another key He saw How
ard about Taylor's Office the morning of
| the murder
News on the Train.
Golden said he was told that Goebel
would be killed that morning and objected
and was told by Powers. 1--WE will not be

He said that he. with Caleb and John

treasurer then boarded train for Louis

vile, and were on their way to that city
when the news was given out aboard that
Goebel had been shot. Caleb Powers said,
1T is a ID shame on the people"
Day never looked UP from a paper ne was
reading. -
Golden made no damaging admission on
cross-examination. The defense says it
can easily disprove all his assertions. Sew
eral other witnesses testified today, but
the testimony was more or less of a rou-
tine nature.

Was the story of the million-dollar
conspiracy to defeat the President that
came out at Senator Bourne's dinner a
nature fake?'
That's a question for the class in phys

Because that's where we discuss the

Somebody told me clearing house GER

'Tain't so. They're financial fakes"
Cortelyou Song.
Secretary Cortelyou was the subject of
a song to the tune of "Peek-a-Boo," as
follows:
with a campaign approaching It's quite
safe to say
The candidates are alive;
They are hunting around for few dele
gates
So that their booms may thrive:
There's Fairbanks and Cannon and all
the rest of them,
Lining up already for the fray.
But standing in the background is an
other patriot,
Hoping it will come his way.
Chorus:
"Cortelyou. Cortelyou,
Come from behind your chair;
Cortelyou, Cortelyou,
We see you hiding there.
'1f you ask him to speak, he just shakes
his head,
And will not affirm or deny;
But when he goes home each night from
his work
He looks for his star in the sky.
He's mute, dumb and silent, and don't
say word,
And wears his gum shoes every day;
But he'll have a leased wire to Chicago
next June,
Hoping to hear them say" (Chorus).

men had been shaking dice for $40
gold pieces, for mining stock and AL
most any old thing, when one OF them
suggested that the saloons be put up
as stakes. No sooner said than done.
Both men were game and the
game proceeded without either "bat-

and the final roll of the bones gave
him the game and with it the saloon,
