EX-CAKTON MAN
Had In Possession Rifle
From Which Sped Bull
let That Killed Goebel
PRODUCED IN COURT

Grant l.. Roberts, a former resi-
dent of Canton, has become identi-
fled with the trial of Caleb Powers,
who is charged with the murder OF
Governor Goebel. He was brought in
to the case by reason of the fact that
in his possession was found the rife
from which It is asserted was fired
the shot that ended the brilliant Ca
reer OF the martyred governor Grant
internal revenue collector at Lexing-
ton, and ono OF the leading Repub-
llcans of kentucky. The following
dispatch gives an account Of Rob
orts testimony ami the introduction
OF the rife in evidence:
RUSTY from nonuse during It's
nearly eight years Of concealment,
the Martin rine, No. 9727s, with
which it is believed, that steel-nosed
messenger OF death was hurled into
the body of william Goebel, at Frank
fort, January 30, 1900. was fled as
an exhibit in the case OF Caleb Pow
ers this afternoon, and is now In the
custody of the court.
"The gun, for the recovery Of which
Arthur Goebel offered a large reward
shortly after the death OF his broth
er, and for which he had advertised
far and wide, was brought into court
by It's owner. Grant l.. Roberts. Of
Frankfort, when he took the stand
this afternoon. The weapon was en-
cased in wooden box that had been
carefully screwed up.
''The opening OF that box was a crit
ical and sensational moment in the
proceedings Arthur Goebel sitting
at the table on the commonwealth's
side OF the courtroom, watched every
move that was made in the uncasing
and handling OF the rife.
Whatever may have been his
thoughts when for the first time his
eyes rested on this instrument with
which the brilliant career OF mucn-
loved brother was ended by an as
sassin, the steady! cold gaze from his
expressionless eyes at that moment
gave no readipg Of those thoughts.
Caleb Powers, moment before
Roberts reached the point In his tes-
timony at which the rife was pro-
duced, had shifted his seat away from
his counsel in position nearer the
stove. He closely watched every
movement. a flush surmounting his
face.
From the box were also taken some.

ridges, OF the kind that Henry Yout-
sey confessed 20 have purchased in
Cincinnati on January 20. They also
we're fled - exhibits. Roberts hav-
ing testified that they we're remain
ing In the magazine OF the rffie when
he recovered 1t last January, and that
Mt that time he had extracted them
from the magazine.
"One flaw in the case is that Grant
Roberts has failed TO identify the
gun beyond the peradventure OF a
doubt as the same that Henry Youtsey
took from the vault In the Office
where he (Roberts) was employed at
the time OF the shooting OF Goebei.
Roberts said he could not identity
The gun Absolutely but that he was
pretty sure II was the same one
he had bought from Fugazzi. in
Youtsey once owned the
rife that Roberts bought from Fugez-
a, the latter having won II at a raf-
lie gotten up by Youtsey."
