BEHIND PRISON BARS.
Enthusiastic Welcome Given Powers at
Old Home by Thousands oil
Old Friends.

Caleb Powers and James How
ard were pardoned this morning
by Gov. Wilson of the charge of
completely in the murder of Will
liam Goebel more than eight
years ago in front of the State

pared to discard his stripes,
while Jackson Morris, Assistant
Secretary of State, and Roy
Wilholt took the official notifica
ton of the pardon to Caleb Pow
ers at Georgetown jail.
The announcement of the par

$3.50 O'Clock by Mckenzie Todd,
Gov. Wilson's private secretary
and the news spread rapidly.
Gov. Wilson was not at the
office when the news was given
out, as he had worked on the
case until ? O'Clock this morning.
The Governor has had the cases
under consideration for several
months and has given much
time to the study Of the matter,
having had public hearings Of
both sides in the hall of the
House of Representatives at
Frankfort.
According to his own state
ment, the Governor has had
petitions signed by over 500, 900
people, urging the pardons of
the two men, and of this NUM- Der
he said there we're 100000 Ken
tuckians, many of them Demo
Gratis.
Howard left the prison shortly
after s 80 o'clock, accompanied
by John G. White and several
other old friends, and went at
once to a clothing store to get a
new suit Of clothes. He went to
Louisville on the $40 q. Il o..
train and was escorted to the
station bv half a hundred
friends. He gave out the follow
ing statement:

AUGUSTUS K. WILSON,
The bee., 1908-06-18
AUGUSTUS K. WILSON,
Governor of Kentucky

Four times has Caleb Powers,
former Secretary of State of this
commonw ealth, been put on trial
for his life. and at three of these
trials the jury brought verdict
of conviction. The charge against
him was that he had conspIred
with others to bring about the
assassination of Senator William
Goebel, IN January 30, 1900,
Goebel at the time being a con
testant for the Gubernatorial
chair. Goebel was shot in Frank
fort, the fatal shot having been
fired, according to the charge,
from window of Secretary of
State Powers office, and death
resulted on February 3. AT the
time the shooting occurred Pow
ers was in Louisville, but 1t was
charged that he had loaned his
office key to others so that the
murderer of Goebel could stand
at the window when he fred.
At the time, and at each of the
trials, as we'll as In magazine and
other articles written by him,
Powers declared that he had no
+ nowledge that Goebel was to be
shot, and he denied that he had
anything to do with the shooting
Few trials in the history of the
country have held wider interest,
ana. few have developed more
side lights. Kentucky feud trou
bles have been more or less con-
nected with the whole case, and
there have been claims of politi
cal affiliations that Influenced
action at various stages of the
noted trial. Three times Powers
was convicted and twice senten-
ced to death, but at the fourth
trial the jury disagreed, and in
view of that fact, the movement
for a possible pardon was given
additional impetus.
The petition for pardon that
was presented to Gov. Wilson
was most voluminous, containing
not only signatures of thousands
of Kentuckians, but also the
names of people from all parts
OF the United States, and even
from points in Africa and Au-
stralia.
During his long imprisonment,
during which he has been in the
custody of both State and Fed
eral officials at various stages Of
the proceedings, which included
appeals to the Supreme Court of
the United States, Powers con
tInued the study of law, and an
nounced that he would engage
in the practice when released,
but some months ago, he gave
out the statement that he would
J be a candidate for Congress in
case of pardon. These state
ments were made as an express
sion of his confidence that he
would ultimately regain his free
dom.
James Howard, of Clay coun'
ty, was accused in confessions
by Henry K. Youtsey, of taking
part in the actual assassination,
and the possible connection OF
Youtsey and Howard with the
case has been the occasion fol
many conflicting statements il
the shape of newspaper inter
views, afEidavits in the various
trials, and appeals on behalf Of
different persons, who had beer
IN some way implicated in th'
various trials.

"just laughed" and the Philip.
pines had laughed with him.
But if Taft can laugh he does
not need the complementary
frown when occasion demands
that he stand firm and fast.
Some one looking on from a dis.
lance beyond earsbot while
President Roosevelt, gesticulat-
ing his earnestness, on one oc-
casion challenged the position of
his war secretary, wrote this of
the picture presented:
"Taft's left hand was In his
overcoat pocket and his right
held a black fedora hat. He did
not gesticulate; he spoke in soft,
low sentences, and yet you could
fairly feel the impact when they
reached the president. l thoguht
of angry waves beating against
an immovable rock. 1t was a
study to give the Imagination
free plav, and yet know better
than | can say that the placid,
imposing firmness of the secre-
tarY won a victory"
Apropos of Mr.. Taft's person
some one has remarked that
since the time of Washington
the United States never has had
a really fat president. But the
term fat does not apply to the
300 pounds of the presidential
candidate. He is of frame to
carry the weight and still pre-
serve the sense of proportion.
Friends once bribed a Canadian
guide to lose Mr.. Taft in the
wilderness of a Canadian trout
stream. 1t was an all day jot
for the guide. But in time fol
the camp supper Taft came
swinging home, hungry as 8
bear. Half an hour later the
guide, draggled and wlnded,
came in, raging.
"Wot fool You mex wis me-
Hey git lose, shure Mike, hey
git lose; but, holly mackarelle
she walks me all 'roun' dey dan
Canada"
When Taft was on the bencl
he faced labor problems anC
rendered his decisions. Late
in his public career he fount
partisan opponents who tried t.
show that these decisions haC
been inimical to the interests o
the laboring man. Thus when i

pieces Of cardboard should be cut out
little larger than the top of the
lid and the end of the tin, and then
covered on both sides with the mate
rial that may have been selected to
make the case.
The body OF the case can be cut
out and fitted around the tin, allow
ing enough material for the flap to
overlap and button on to the lower
part. The case is edged throughout
with narrow cord, and there is also
long loop of cord attached to the
top by which 1t may be carried. thus
obviating the necessity of holding it
in hot hand. An ordinary key-ring
is knotted at one side OF the loop,
making 1t into two loops, and when
the wrist Is placed through the upper
loop. and the cord drawn tight, there
is no possibility of the carrier being
lost, laid down in train or street car,
and, perhaps, forgotten. A glance at
the sketch will explain the way In
which the cord is of service, and
similar cord attached to purse or
handbag may often be the means of
preventing either of them from being
lost.
