CALEB POWERS JURY
FAILS TO Reach VERDICT
They Stood Eleven For Con-
ViGti0n and Three
For AGqulttaI.

Georgetown, ky., Jan. 3.-The
jury In the case Of Caleb Powers,
charged with completely in the
murder of William Goebel, this
morning reported that it was un-
able t reach a verdict and was
sent back. At an early hour this
morning it was reported that the
jJryme0 stood eleven for acquit-
al ana one for conviction with a
sentence of Imprisonment for
life.
The jury members asked the
court to refresh their memory on
the manner in which Youtsey
made his escape after the fatal
shot was fred from the secreta-
ny of states Office. This was ta-
ken by the public as an indica-
Jon that the jury was seriously
considering the phase of the case
insisted upon by the defense that
Ioutsey himself fired the fatal
shot. and that Jim Howard had
nothing 10 do with it.
The Powers jury who disa-
greed We're instructed to go back
and further deliberate.
The Judge has not yet indica-
ted how long he viii keep the ju-
ry III it does not agree.
Powers appears satisfied, al
though he has hoped for acquittal.
We ultimately expect to have
this charge lifted by jury trial, "
said Powers today, and l have
long ago resigned myself to my
fac while awaiting the subsi-
.deace Of political passions that
have bound me.
