Powers it ' back in til cell, tonight.
Flfty-sl days ot nenre-racklng trial
hare been added to Ma aeren years
of lnTprlsonment ' on the charge ot
roinniieltf In the assassination of
William Ctoebel, contestant for the
goTernorshIp of Kentucky, ana he
is back Just where he started. To
morrow he win begin a new routine
of. reading - and. writing, exercising
and eating." The four wans of his
cell become again the boundaries of
his world.' and his law . books his
principal companions. He will study
them again lest In these seven years
he may hare overlooked" some point
that might hareswung the verdict
his way.- ,-rO. ' ' . . ,
A new trial has been set for July
6. Before this had been decided.
Powers attorneys pleaded, with the
rnnrt tn admit him ; to ball. They
pointed out the years he had waited j
for this hearing, tire oraeais oi ms
trials and the danger to his health
from so long confinement, but Judge
Morris held the case was not one
that would admit of ball. Powers
was returned to his ceU, disappointed
but not disheartened. . He has been
the man of steel the man of Iron
nerves,; throughout his seven years
in Jail and the Iron courage did not
desert him. He put ; this trial be
hind him for the lessons It taught
and began at once to plan for July 6.
Ten Jurors had been for acquittal
throughout the hours of deliberation
this time. " How to make sure of the
1 2 next time was the problem he
set about to solve. ; ? : .., . , ' '
Just as determined tov continue
tho fight, Arthur Goebel. brother of
William Goebel, began bunding a
new foundation for the state's case,
July 6. This interval wil be almost
like a recess in the trial. - Goebel
has spent, a fortune in his. efforts
to avenge his brother's death. He
has another fortune .reaay 'to throw
into the contest. If necessary. ? - i
Neither . side ; has made any
charges of , unfairness In this trial.
The feeling seemed to prevail on all
hands that no matter what has gone
before, the effort this time has been
f of complete, unbiased Justice. Four
Republicans, four Democrats' and
four Independent Democrats , composed-
the Jury. All were men of
good ; standing in the community.
There was no "packing" charged,
no rancor because of ( the exclusion
of testimony.
' The" hours "spent in deliberation
by the Jury were fraught with bit
terness so great5 that members ot
the panel .felt "there was no chance
for anything save disagreement.
But Judge Morris did. not consent
to dismiss them "until "almost noon.
Eighth weeks bad; been 'spent in
working up to this point and all felt
that ievery resource for getting -'a
verdict' must be exhausted, but by

As yet the manuscripts her in De

In the hands of Professor H. A. Ban
ders, a noted arcbaelogist, palacograph
1st and studerit of the Bible, he quickly
searched In the best preserved of the
tomes for a passage on St. Marks
gospel, which has been a subject of in
terest for hundreds of years to Biblical
students, to find if missing paragraphs
spoken o' bv St Jerome were there.
To his amaicment and delight; he found
them, and burned to make his discovery
known to fellow archaeloglsts and Bible
students without Investigating further.
He readily gained Mr. Freer1 consent
to give his believed to be authentic rec
ord of -the saving of Christ, now because
it has been lost more than 1.300 years,
to the Archaelogical society, and thus it
was that the existence of this very re
markable manuscript became known to
the world. , ...

The flv other versions, manuscripts
used in formulating the Bible; and not
so complete as the Alexandrian manu
script, are all highly prlxed. and care
fully preserved. It is well possible
that the Frwr manuscripts may dis
place them all in making the highext
rank as the oldest and, most cbmpleto
text of the Bible,
So far as the manuscripts have been
examined it has been discovered that
the text of the four gospels, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, are complete.
The Alexandrian manuscripts, which,
Ilk tha Freer manuscripts, are believed
to have been saved from the Alexan
drian library before Its books were giv
en out to be destroyed, are wanting In
th whole of Matthew's gospel up to
chapter XXV, . and from John XX B0,
to VIII, 52,
These deficiencies are supplied In the
Bibles of today, but .the Freer manu
scripts will b able to supply with un
doubted authenticity and in the same
text these missing portions of the Alex
andrian manuscripts, and perhaps sll
other missing or doubtful portions of
that great manuscript, and give to the
world for the. first time tha Bible a
