Georgetown, Ky., Angust 29 — Caleb Powers has for the third time been convicted of conspiracy in the assassination of Governor William Goebel and found guilty and his pun- ishment fixed at death. The report of the jury was made after four hours and twenty minutes’ consideration of the case The verdict was as follows: ‘ We, the guilty and fix his punishment at death.” The poll of the jury brought the re- sponee, “It is my verdict,” from each juror, The juror was then dismissed, Commonwealth’s Attorney Franklin personally thanking each member.

The senate was Democratic and the house of repre sentatives was Republican, Taylor took office. tary of state. The Democrats contested the elec- tion of Taylor, and while the matter was before the legislature the Repub- licans claimed the Democrats in the house were unseating Republicans and seating the Democratic candi- dates in order to bring about a Dem- ocratic majority which would seat Goebel when the contest came to a joint ballot. THE ASSASSINATION OF GOEBEL. Feeling ran high in the state, and {a Frankfort, the capital, clashes be- tween members of the two parties were frequent. nated in the assassination of Goebel as he was walking along the streetin front of the state capitol with Colonel Jack Chinn.
