Hands.

lias Vnothcr Chance.
(By Associated Press)
GEORGETOWN, Jan. 3. The last
chapter in the most tragic event in
the history of Kentucky was reached
today when on completing the fourth
trial of former Secretary of State
Caleb Powers, who was indicted
eight years ago as an accessory be
fore tho fact for the murder of Wil
liam Goebel, democratic contestant
for the office of governor. It has
been one of the most stubbornly
contested criminal cases In the his
tory of American Jurisprudence.
Tho present trial covered more than
seven weeks, there being 4S days of
actual court proceedings. The first
trial resulted in conviction with a
sentence of life imprisonment. Judg
ment was reversed. The second trial
had the same result, judgment being
set aside because of the alleged par
tiality of the judge. Tho trird trial
resulted in a verdict of guilty with
the death penalty attached. Tho
case was then taken from the state's,
courts and the accused became a
federal prisoner, later being ieturned
to the state courts for the trial which
has just concluded.
GEORGETOWN, Jan' 3. The jury
"in the Powers case reported to the
court this morning. The foreman
announces, "We are further from a
verdict now than ever." Judge Mor
ras sent tho jury back for further de
liberation. GEORGETOWN, Jan. 3. The jury
appears to have settled down until
tho court Is moved to discharge it.

FISHERMAN
8:at Sunrise Is Annoyed by
Toughs on Way From North
Bend
Passougeis on the gasoline boat
Sunrlso wero considerably excited
while returning fiom tho football
fenme at North Bend Wednesday after
noon. The boat was attacked by
"piiates" and it was only by tho uso
of umbrellas and forcible langungo
that tho desperate characters wero
shooed away.
The Sunrise had quite a load of
passengers and started from tho
North Bend dock about tho bamo
time as tho Flyer. Tho passengers
on board anticipated a racowith tho
small steamer and they wero not dis
appointed for a time. A small flsh
boat of considerable speed, was also
slowly overhauled by the Sunrlso.
Tho man running tho flsh boat
turned and steered straight at tho
Sunrlso as though ho was going to
knock a hole In her side, but on
getting up close ho sheered his craft
Into tho bldo of the larger boat and
ono man, hung on to tho boat.
Tho youngsters operating tho Sun
rlso ordered tho men to let go their
boat, but the outfit In the Ilshboat
replied by hanging on tighter and
cursing In front of a number of ladles
who were on beard. The flshboat
practically took possession of tho
Sunrlso, causing the lattor consider
able Inconvenience and making her
rock In an alarming manner.
Matters went along like this for
some time, and the Sunrise slowed
down. Tho flshboat shot ahead, but
when the Sunrlso ondeavoied to go
on her courso unmolested, tho former
repeated tho trick of hanging on to
her aide and annoying the boat's
progross and causing dangoi to tho
passongors.
Finally a number of tho passengers
went forward to tho youngsters who
wero operating tho boat, and told
them that If they wanted tho back
ing of the passengers In making the
flhormon lonvo go of tho eraft, thoy
would certainly get It.
Half a dozen of tho pnssengors
then proceeded to push tho fisher
man's boat away from tho Sunrise,
which was rocking and turning In a
frightful manner because tho smaller
boat bumped Into' tho side. After
shoving, threatening and using main
rorco, the fishermen wero finally
shoved away from tho Sunrise, and
then tho entire load of passengers
were treated to tho loudest and
largest amount of foul language
which has been heard on tke bay.
