Attempt to Kill Hawaiian Official and
His Wife.
Honolulu, June 16.-An attempt to
assassinate Chief of Detectives Tay-
lor and his wife was made Saturday.
A dynamite bomb was exploded out
side the window of their bed room.
There is no clew to the perpetrators
of the outrage, though Taylor's life
has often been threatened by Chinese
gamblers.
The force of the explosion shatter-
cd a large tank, throwing the heavy
timbers a distance of SO feet and de-
stroying the back porch under the out
side stairs of the house. The main
building, however, was not damaged,
and neither of its occupants injured.

seemed would be the certain course Of
the legislature in proceedings to oust
Governor Taylor and seat Goebel on
contest proceedings. He returned to
Frankfort and remained there during
the stormy days that eliminated in
the installment of Goebel as governor
upon his deathbed.
Attempted to Leave the Capital.
Soon after, seeing the trend of
events, Powers and a Frankfort po-
liceman. attempted to leave the capi-
tai by stealth: They were caught
and when given a preliminary ar
raignment produced pardons signed by
Taylor and dated prior to GoebePs in
stallation as governor Although such
pardons issued in advance of trial had
been upheld by the Kentucky court of
appeals as legal, those produced by
Powers and his companion were held
to be of no effect and were cited by
Goebel men as additional evidence Of
the guilt of the accused.
Legal Battle Of Eight Years.
Then followed during the course of
eight years four legal battles which
served to reveal the intensity of the
hatreds aroused by the memorable
struggle for the governorship.
James B. Howard is alleged to be
the man who, fired the shot that killed
Goebel and he was under a life SEN
tence.
