HUMBERT'S ASSASSIN
AN ORDINARY CRANK
Concluded from Page 1
truth was broken to hor a heartrend
ing scene ensued. Bursting Into tear!
she exclaimed:
"It Js the greatest crime of the
century. Humbert was good and
faithful. No persons could have loved
his people mom. He was one who
bore 111 will to none."
When the queen's mother arrived
theie was another affecting scene.
The assassin Is strictly guarded In
prison. He continues to preserve ab
solute Indifference and took his meals
today without any sign of being af
fected by his position. A second re
volver was found on the public stand
In the gymnastic grounds.
The room where the embalming Is
proceeding is already filled with flow
ers. The queen herself placed a
wreath on the bier and knelt nmf
prayed beside the body; and, In spite
of the entreaties of tho princes and
princesses sho refuses to quit f e
death chamber, which Is In charge of
Count Jurri, the late king's aide de
camp.
Sorrow Through Italy.
Rome, July 30. Telegrams from all
the towns and villages of Italy show
that all the country deeply mourns
the death of the king. Everywhere
flags are half masted and shops ate
closed. All garrison towns at noon
saluted with one hundred guns, while
at all the naval ports minute guns
were fired.
The conservator of tno quleinal has
sealed up all the private apartments
of King Humbert and all the doors of
the palace except one.
The members of the diplomatic
corps all went, this morning-, to the
foreign office to tender their condol
ences. Profound calm prevails throughout
the entire country. Such members of
the chamber ot deputies as are In
Rome met this afternoon and adopted
a resolution expressing unbounded sor
row. Brussels, July 30. A special des
patch from Rome says: .
"Mgr. Angelo Dl Petro (prefect of
the congregation of the council) took
It upon hlmeslf to Inform the pope ot
the assassination of King Humbert.
He entered the chamber of Leo at an
early hour. Tho latter was alrea'v
awake.
"The cardinal cautiously first stat
ed that an attempt had been made
upon the life of the king, whereupon
tho pope immediately asked if th
wound was dangerous,
The prelnto replied: "Very danger
ous;" but hlfi anxious air was noticed
by the Pope, who at once divined the
truth. Ills emotion wan such that he
was unable to speak for some time.
When his distress had passed he wlsh-
cJ to leave his bed and to celebrats
mass for the repose of tho king's soul.
Later he summoned Cardinal Ham
polla, papal secretary 'if state, whom he
requested to send a dispatch of condo
lence to Princess Clotllde, sister of the
queen. The nudPuices fixed for today
were suspended.
Paris, July 30. President Loubet and
M. Deloasse called at the Italian em
bassy this afternoon.
Hl3 Friend in Paterson.
New York, July 30. Angelo Uresst
lived In Paterson for one year. He
appeared to have had various names.
Tho one he gave last night when
token Into custody for the murder of
the king of Italy was one. Another
was Angelus Uressl, and still another,
the one by which he will be known to
those who knew him In Paterson, was
Gaetano Dressl. He .was employed In
Hamll & Booth's silk mills.
His close friend theie was Oarlbonl
Sperandlo, the man wno a few weeks
ago shot down his foreman and then
killed himself, leavincr behind a letter
telling how he had been selected by
lot to kill King Humbert nnd, having
a choice owing to his living so far
away from Italy, killed the foreman
Instead.
A few months ago a man said to be
Count Moletoskl, the head of the
Italian nnarchlsts, was In Paterson,
and during his stay Sperandlo and
Brcssl were his companions and they
showed him about the city and In
troduced him to others In the city,
and who were his mentors theie. It
would seem that his friend, having
faltered at regicide, Bressl took up
his burden where Sperandlo refused
It and went across the ocean to carry
out the decree that Humbert should
die.
CONDITION CRITICAL.
Doctors Are Doubtful of Saving
Leutner's Life.
The condition of Charles Leutner, the
Petersburg drug clerk so badly burned
by electricity, continues critical. A
high fever keeps him delirious most of
tho time and the doctors arc still du
bious as to his ultimate recovery.
Dr. Bernstein, when asked yesterday
If tho boy's arm would have to be
amputated, said, significantly: "The
question now Is to save the boy's life.
Tho saving of his nrm Is to be consid
ered afterwards."

DEFENSE IN GOEBEL
MURDER CASE
CASE OF TOWERS OUTLINED IN
TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
Chargo That Prosecution Is Conceal
ing the Identity of the Frankfort
Assassin Claim That Mountain
Men Were Not Summoned to In
timidate Legislature Wharton
Golden's Testimony to Do Contra
dicted. Georgetown, Ky July 30. In the
trial of Caleb Powers, which was re
sumed today, the defense opened Its
side of the case with a motion for per
emptory Instructions for a verdict of
acquittal. The motion was submitted
without argument nnd was promptly
over-ruled by the court.
Attorney Faulkner announced the
case of the defense. He said the de
fense would show that the contests
over the state ofTlces were not tried
on Judicial lines, but on a partisan
basis, and that politics were responsi
ble for the present prosecutions. He
Intimated that the prosecution knew
the Identity of Goebel's assassin, but
has concealed It. It will be admitted,
he said, that Caleb Powers and Char
les Flnley organized and brought to
Frankfort the crowd of mountain men
who arrived there on Jan. 25, but that
this was only to petition the legisla
ture and not to Intimidate that body.
He declared that the men who com
posed the mountain army were not
bad characters, as charged by the oth
er side, and he charged, also, that the
Democrats had large bodies of men In
Frankfort to back up the contestants.
He said Powers had In his pocket at
the time of the killing the keys to his
office, which the prosecution alleges
had been given to Youtsey; that Pow
ers never conferred with Youtsey,
Berry Howard, Jim Howard, Green
Golden or Dick Coombs, and that Jim
Howard was not on tho capltol grounds
until after the killing. It would be
proved, he claimed, that Weaver, one
of the main witnesses for the prosecu
tion, was never in Frankfort until yes
terday; that Flnley, Anderson and
Noakes testified for money and W. II.
Culton In the hope of obtaining Im
munity from the prosecution, and that
Wharton Golden's evidence will be suc
cessfully contradicted.
The Defendant on the Stand.
The defendant, Caleb Powers, took
tho witness stand. He declared that
he never knew Jim Howard, Harland
Whlttaker or Richard Coombs, three
of the defendants, prior to the assas
sination. He had only known Youtsey
since Jan. 1. In regard to the bring
ing of the mountaineers to Frankfort,
witness said:
"There were three crowds of men
brought to Frankfort, nnd I had some
thing to "do with the organization of
each. The purpose was to show the
interest of these people In the matters
nt Issue nt that time and not to in
timidate either the state election board
or the legislature. I instructed tho
men to do no acts of violence, nnd, so
far as 'I know, none were committed
by them."
Powers continued: "The last crowd
ot men were brought for a double
purpose. We expected to use them ts
witnesses before the contest board
and also to show by their presence
the Interest thev felt in the contest?.
We had also heard rumors that we
were to be forcibly ejected from the
ofllces. These rumors I based on
newspaper reports and we Intended to
resist violence."
Mr. Bradley, of counsel for prose
cution, objected to the statement and
asked that it be excluded on the
ground that newspaper reports could
not be given as evidence. The court
ruled that It was incompetent for the
witness to detail newspaper reports
or to tell of apprehensions which he
based on common rumor.
Witness said he had received Infor
mation that Mr. Hall, the contestant
for secretary of state, would not wait
until the contests were settled In court
but would try to take forcible posses
sion as soon as the contest board act
ed. "If that sot t of thing had been
attempted," he said, "we intended to
hold the ofllces. I had a conference
with Governor Taylor and he advised
the bringing of a large body of men
to show their Interest In political af
fairs. He nlso advised that they be
brought armed and promised to p.iy
the expenses. I acted on this. Tho
plans were kept a (secret to prevent
dropping us through a bridge or de
railing our train. I told those in the
conference that the utmost secrecy
must be observed in getting them
there befoie the news got out."
At the afternoon session the defend
ant resumed the stand. Be read to
the Jury receipts from varloui parties,
which he said were for money paid by
him for board for some of the moun
tain men brought by him to tin state
capital. He then told of the Barbour-
vllle conference, at which Flnley,
Powers and others discussed the ar
rangements with John A. Black, who
strongly opposed the movement. Thi
witness said he assured Black that he
and Flnley would use their best en
deavors to keep tho crowd from de
generating Into a mob, but denied that
he told Black ho was going to organize
a mob. He said that he had not snli
iu the presence of W. H. (Milton that
the legislature would be given thirty
minutes to net and if it did not do It
in that time they would kill the Demo
cratic legislators. In regard to send
ing the men home from Frankfort the
evening of Jnn. 25, about which Wit
ness Noakes testified last week and
told ot a breach between the witness
and Governor Taylor, Powers said:
"I heard that they were going to
send the men home and I opposed It,
as the men had been up all the night
before. I went to see Governor Tay
lor. He told me It had been decided
to send them home, as their presence
was Imvlng a bud effect. Some of the
nntl-Goebel Democrats In the legli n
ture had strongly disapproved of
bringing the men armed and had
threatened to desert Governor Taylor
In the contest unless he sent the men
home."
Did Not Give Keys to Youtsey.
The witness did not give Youtsey n,
key or keys to his ofllcc nor did he
havo a conversation with John Powers
and Golden In reference to Goebel be
ing killed by "Tallow Dick" Coombs.
He did meet Youtsey In tho hnll of
tho legislative building nnd Youtsey
asked him to let him Into the olllce.
Witness did not know why Youtsey
wanted to get In there, but witness
did not want him In there. Witness
had his keys In his pocket, Previous
to his occupancy of the office, there
were three keys to tho door only one
I of which was turned over to him, W.
