DAMAGING EVIDENCE
MANY WITNESSES TESTIFY AGAINST
 CALEB POWERS.
Military Officers Testify That Powers Requested Them to Bring Their Companies to Frankfort in Citizens' Clothes.

Georgetown, Ky, Dec. 2.--The fourth week of the Caleb Powers trial began with renewed interest today. Henry Broughton of Pineville. formmer Sheriff of Bell County. the first witness call- ed by the commonwealth, was kept on the stand for nearly an hour and de- tailed conversations he had with Pow CTS on the State House grounds in Frankfort, in which Powers asked the witness to give the names of some men who would do work" or do the killing" The witness did not remem- Der which words were used.
 On cross examination, 1t was shown that Broughton was under the influ- ence of liquor at Frankfort and that he afterwards told Judge M. J. Moss of Pineville that he did not recall what did happen there. Broughton also ad- mitted having talked with Arthur Goe- bel and Attorney Tom Campbell, of the prosecution, before testifying in the case.
 Judge James D. Black of Barbour vile, former Democratic candidate for the nomination of Governor. testified to reading a letter written by Caleb Powers to Prof. J A. Stevens of Bar bourville, in which Powers stated that the Democrats were in a "disorganized shape" and that he (Powers) was an open advocate of war. This letter was dated Frankfort, Ky. February 2, 1900. the day before Goebel died. and while he lay mortally wounded at the Cap itol Hotel. The defense made strong but unsuccessful effort to have this testimony excluded as the letter could not he produced and Judge Black ad- mitted to having made only an extract of the letter.
 Capt. John Hawn, who was captain of a militia company in Barbourville in 1900, testified this afternoon that Ca feb Powers and John Powers wanted him to take his company to Frankfort in citizens clothes and box their arms. The witness declined to go without an order from the Adjutant General. He identified letters from John Powers making the same request. He also identified a letter of John and Caleb Powers asking the Adjutant General to take the militia out of the hands Cf Captain Hawn after he had told them he was not in sympathy with them.
 J. K Watkins, who was captain of another company at the same time testified to similar requests but on cross examination it was elicited from him that the explanation of their go- ing in citizens clothes was that they had not been called out by the Cover nor but should be on the ground when needed.
 Ed Porter Thompson testified that it was a cold day and no people were in the yard when the shot was fired. Other witnesses gave similar testi- mony.

Maa Clerks Had a Miraculous
 Escape.
Tratn No. { On M. and M. Division of L. and N. Railroad DeraiIed Thir- ty Miles From MobiIe-Traf-
 fic Temporarily Paralyxed.

Shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon train No. on the Louisville and Nashville was wrecked two miles South of Dyers creek, thirty-two miles North of Mobile. Miraculously no one was killed, although several were more or less seriously injured.
 The train ia one of the fastest on the Louisville and Nashville system, and forms one of the links in the great Trans-Continental chain made by the Pennsylvania road from New York to Washington, Southern from Atlanta to Washington, Western from Atlanta to Montgomery, Louisville and Nashville from Montgomery to New Orleans and Southern Pacific from New Orleans to San Francisco.
 Train No. 1 of the Louisville and Nashville leaving Montgomery at 11:15 a. n., carries that part of the connec- tion South and train No. {, due in Mont gomery at 6:30 brings that end of the connection North. ~
 Train No. left Mobile yesterday afternoon about 1:40 p. m.. nearly on time. It was in charge of conductor John c. Elliott and Engineer Arthur Payne. The train consisted of eight cars, three Pullmans, a baggage car. postal car. dining car and two day coaches. About two miles South of Overs creek when the train was run ming at a good rate of speed one of the trucks of the tank of the engine jump ed the track. The accident happened at a point on the track where there is an embankment or "fill" of several feet. SThe effect was disastrous In the twinkling of an eye there was a frightful looking wreck and seven handsome passenger cars, costing thousands of dollars were piled to- gether in an indiscriminate mass in the ditch.
 The handsome dining car, a compan- ion of the one that leaves Montgom- cry on train No. going South, and one of the handsomest and most expensive in the South, was the last car on the train and the only one that stayed on the track. The engine. No. 15o. one of the best passenger engines on the Mobile and Montgomery division, was thrown in the ditch but fortunately 1t can be repaired and made as good as new.
 Engineer Payne and his fireman be- yond few bruises and bad shaking ID were not hurt to amount to any thing, though how either of them es- raped Is one of the mysteries of rail- road wrecks.
 Some Narrow Escapes.
 Narrow escapes were made by the occupants of the postal car just behind the engine. There were four men iT this car, three clerks on duty and g "deadhead" postal clerk. and all four

Colonel Dillingham; Receives Many Testimon- ials Every Day From People Who Have
 Used His Famous Remedies

Never before in the history of the city has a proprietary medicine been so widely advertised and so favorably spoken of as has the Plant Juice rem edies of Colonel Dillingham;, who has been advertising his medicine for the past month here in Montgomery.
 Thousands have focked down to the platform and to his place on Court Square for the purpose of getting the medicine, and untold numbers of good people have testified to the efficacy of the Plant Juice.
 From every part of the County and from neighboring counties. people have been attracted by the medicine and the cures alleged to have been made by it, and much of the Plant Juice has been shipped to distant points as the direct
 
 result of the advertising done in this city.
 The latest testimonial received by Colonel Dillingham; is for the Plant Juice soap and salve and it speaks in glowing terms of the efficacy of those +wo remedies in the case of skin dis eases.
 James Thompson. of this city. says that for seven years he has had what the doctors pronounced eczema. lie saws that his body has for years been a nerfect mass of little itching sores which at times nearly drove him crazy The sores would come and go without ever entirely disappearing. When ready to break out the pain would De unbearable and when they commenced to recede back into the skin the terri ble itching would commence and keep for wAAk~ "t a stretch.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-12-03

Mir. Thompson says that after hear ing Colonel Dillingham; lecture on eczema he bought a box of both the Plant Juice salve and soap and com menced following the directions. In less than three days his trouble be- came less troublesome and after a week it began to entirely disappear. Now he says that he is entirely we'll and that new skin. white and soft as a baby's, is growing and that he is absolutely cured.
 It is such testimony as this which has made the Plant Juice remedies the talk of the entire County
 Less than week ago a ship which left Mobile for England took with it a complete supply of the remedies. as the Captain of the vessel had occasion to try the remedy and found it so benefi- ciaI that he took much of 1t with him for the use of his sailors during his trips.
 There are many other such favorable reports which have come in to head quarters during the past few days and Colonel Dillingham; Is also sending off much of his medicine.
 The platform continues to draw great -crowds and the entertainment seems to give much pleasure. Hundreds attend every night and the lectures are Iis- tened to with interest.
 The Plant Juice remedies consist of the Plant Juice. the Liniment. the Soap and the Salve. All are sold at a req sonable figure and if the directions are carefully followed, which go with ev- cry package. there is no reason why good results should not follow
