CALEB POWERS TALKS.
Frankfort, Ky., IMarch 29. Ex-Secretary
of State Caleb Powers, after
carefully reading the decision of the
court of appeals' granting1 him and
Howard new trials, dictated an inter
view in which he said he believes he
will be acquitted on the next trial. He
suggests oo-opera'tlon between prosecu
tion and defense in searching out the
murderer of Goebel, and says while he
does not think it ineumlbent on the
republican party to discover and pun
ish the murderer he thinks the party
will suffer as long as the murderer is
undiscovered .
Jim Howard had little to say further
than that he felt very much relieved,
notwithstanding he had perfect con
fidence that the decision would be for
a new trial.
