FltANKFOHT, Ky March 23. The. pre
liminary examination cf Secretary of Stato
Caleb Powers, charged with abetting tho
assassination of William Qoebel, began to
day beforo Judgo loorc. Tho court liouso
was guarded lnsldo nnd out by militia nnd
scores of deputy sheriffs armed with Win
cheater rifles to prevent possible Interfer
ence from mountaineers who were reported
on their way to Frankfort, but their pres
ence was unnecessary, as the mountaineers
failed to appear and no disorder occurred.
Tho . Lexington and Winchester mllltla
companies, armed with rifles, wcro scattcicd
through various rooms. Mnly tho usual
orowd was- on tho streets and there was no
excitement.
Tho witnesses today Included Warden Eph
Llllard, Detcctlvo iDoo Armstrong, Sheriff
Bosworth ot Fayetto county, who arrested
Secretary Powers, nnd Captain John Davis
and 8llas Jotius, who Is1 now under bonds
charged with complicity In the murder. Tho
testimony tended to show that tho shots
camo from that section of tho- executive
building In which Secretary Powers' office
Is located, although no ono swore that tho
shots wero from tho secretary's ofllce. Tho
strongest evidence, perhaps, was given by
Silas Jones, who waa In Governor Taylor's
auto-room when the shooting took place.
No evidence was adduced tending to show
that tho defendant was Implicated In any
conspiracy, but In ono of tho frequent wordy
disputes between the nttornoys for the de
fenso and tho commonwealth, tho fact was
brought out that F. Wharton Golden, who
Is snld to have mode a confession, would
bo put on tho witness stand beforo tho hear
ing ends.
Prosecuting 'Attorney Polsgrovo said to
night that Biilllclcnt evidence- had nlrcady
been beard to warrant holding Powero, but
that tho enso would bo much stronger be
foro bo was through. On tho other hand,
formor Governor Brown for tho defense ex
pressed himself as well pleased with tho
situation, regarding tho evidence so far as
decidedly weak.
It Is probable that all tho witnesses for
tho prosecution will bo heard by tomorrow
afternoon.
llnmln on Hip I'ockolii.
An Incident occurred .during tho nftor
noon that t'howed tho feeling and also how
tho people nro prepared1 fdr-emcrgenclca." A
Boldler In tho rear court yard dropped his
revolver on tho stone flagging and It ex
ploded. In an instant every .man In tho
crowded court room was on his foct, fully
half of them with their hands to their rear
pockets.
Colonel T. L. Campbell and Arthur Goebol
appeared at the court house at 9:30 o'clock.
A few minutes later ex-Governor John
Young Brown, W. It. Itamsoy, It. C. Kin
kead and J. C. Sims, attorneys for tho de
fense, arrived.
Judgo Mooro convened court at 10 o'clock.
Tho prisoners, Republican Socretnry of

trial to proceed. '
Ex-Governor Brown read tho warrant
against Powers, which charged him with
being an accessory to the murder of William
Goebel. Governor Brown asked for tho dis
missal of tho dofendant on thei ground that
tho warrant was defectlvo In notf alleging
that tho crime was committed In Franklin
county and did not oven show the olTenso
to navo been committed In Kentucky. County

no cim not answer nnd an attachment for

present wero ordered to retire and wero
admonished not to talk to anybody.
Judgo Denny aud W. G. Dunlap cf Lex
lnElon, who had been added to the list of at
torneys for tho defendants, took eeat with
their associate counsel.
Eph Lllllard was the. first witness sworn.
Ho testified that bo was with Senator Goebel
wnen tno latter waa shot. Ho walked ahemi
of Senator, Goebel and was Jut entering tho
Hiaio aouaa wnen me enot .was -fired. Ho
turned back from tho stao house steps and
saw wnai naa Happened. Hie looked toward
the exocutlvo building. and saw that the sec
ond window of tho corner room was slightly
raised. Thla was tho office of the secretary
of state. Ho thought tho shot had been
fired from this room. There were several
other shot, but he said they did not come
from tho same place. Tho first shot was
evidently from a rifle, whlle the others
scorned to bo from, pistols.
o One Seen lu I lip Room,
Cross-examined by ex-Governor Brown,
Colonel Llllard said ho saw nobody In the
room from which tho shots seemed to havo
been fired, and ho did not seo any one In
tho main door or on tho Bteps of the build
ing nt tho tlmo of the shooting.
There was a long wrangle between tho
attorneys over thb question whether wit
nesses who had been examined might ro-
i main In tho court room. The attorneys
for tho defense objected to allowing wit
nesses to remain because many of thctn
would be witnesses In tho trials of Davis
nnd Culton later, or In which practically
the same Issues, were Involved. Judgo
iMoore, however, ruled that witnesses who
had testified might, remain.
Policeman Wlbgato Thompson was tho
next witness Introduced. Ho was not In tho
stato house yard when the shooting oc
curred, but arrived as tho crowd was carry

WASHINGTON, March 23. Colonel An
drew Cowan, a merchant of Louisville, Ky :
Samuel J. Roborts, editor of the Lexington
Leader, and John Marshall, republican lieu
tenant governor of tho state, all promi
nent republicans, and friends of Governor
Taylor, called at tho White Houso beforo
the cablnot meeting today and had a half
hour's conversation with tho precldent on
the political situation In Kentucky. On
leaving tho executive mansion they stated
that thoy had called on Mr. McKlnloy for
tho solo purpose of explaining to him the
exact situation in tho stato and what had
led up to the present condition of affaire.
They said that thoy assured tho presi
dent that thoy did not want federal troops
to bo sent to tho Btato or any federal Inter
ference whatever. They had not asked for
a congressional Investigation, they said, nor
would thoy ask for one, as they did not
want It. On Fobruary 21 tho principal par
tics In interest bad signed an agreement by
which each party, agreed to submit tho
questions Involved to the courto (or a
final determination nnd to abide by their
decision. This agreement, It is said, stipu
lated that olthor party feeling aggrieved
might appeal from.tho lower court to the
court of appeals, and tbon to tho supremo
court of tho Unltod States. This part of tho
agreement, It was said, read as follows:
"Should any party ufter tho final deter
mination of tho causrst by the court pf op
pealBdesIre" a writ of error to tho supremo
court of tho United States to rovlow such
determination, It Is ngrecd that such writ
shall bo immediately applied for and dili
gently prosecuted If secured and that all
parties to said cbubcs will unlto In nu ap
plication 'to Baltj fcdoral supremo court to
docket and advanco said causes and to
give; them tho earliest hearing nnd deter
mination possible."
Cowan nnd bis nsoclntes claim tho Goebol
partisans havo dona a number of things
which indicated' that they wcro not acting
In good faith. Nevertheless, they did not
expect any sorlgus clashing, but on tho
contrary, believed that all of the InterestB
Involved would abldo by the doclslon. of tho
supremo court of the United Stales. It wbb
not at all probablo that cither party would
be satisfied with anything short of a de
