ten TO Two


Georgetown, KY, Jan. 4.-The
jury in the case Of Caleb Powers.
accused Of completely in the murder
Of Gov. Goebel, was discharged this
morning the jurors having declared
that there was no chance for them to
reach an agreement.
Court was adjourned till ] 80
clock when the defense's motion
for bail was taken up. The jury
stood ten for acquittal and two for
conviction. j. l.. Price, the fore.
man, and j. W. Renaker, the Har-
rison- county juror, held out for con.
viction. Powers was showered with
congratulations. He said he would
make a statement later, adding, II
am pleased.
There came near being an acquit-
tai this morning. Mr.. kenaker
made the proposition to Mr.. Price
to vote for acquittal. Price held
out, although i'll, and Renaker said
he would vote with him. Price is a
general merchant at Sherman, Grant
county.
Z. j. Marshall first voted for con
vicuon.
The jurors we're greatly wrought
up, there being much i'll feeling,
and two, shaking Powers by the
hand. actually wept. There was no
money in the jury fund with which
to pay the jury.
Price was the last man chosen on
the jury, aud had the defendants
attorneys exercised their remaining
pcremptory challenge on him they
might have secured an acquittal.
Jury Linder reported to the court
that he did not think that the fore
man was in condition to conduct the
business of the jury, and expressed
the opinion that if given more time
there might be a verdict. This was
before the final report Of disagree
ment.
When court was adjourned Price
and Renaker walked over and shook
hands with Attorney Franklin and
Arthur Gcobel. Attorney Franklin
wore an expression of surprise, and
it was some seconds before Mr.. Geobel
took his eyes off the jury. Powers
jumped to his feet and the jurors that
had voted fer him crowded about
shaking him by the hand.
Juror Jouet said II have always
voted the Democratic ticket. | vot-
ed for Goebel. ] have large pie
turc of William Goebel in my home,
but | could not convict Caleb Powers
on this evidence
The court room was crowded this
afternoon when court convened to
hear argument for bail.
Samuel NJ. Wilson, Of Lexington,
argued the motion for bail for Pow
ers. He referred to the granting to
the Hargis brothers and Ed. Gala
han in the Fayette Circuit Court
where the same question was thor
oughly gone over ana the court held
that bail should be granted. Judge
Morris directed the argument of the
attorneys to the word evident where
the law says the proof must be EVIL
dent or the presumption great.
