new testimony was brought out at the
beginning of the fifth week of the triul
of former SiwUry of State Caleb
Powers, charged witli complicity In the
Cochcl shooting. . E. R. Itullock, of
Lexington, swore that he was In the
Idjiitaut general's olllce when the fatal
shots were tired. He stepped out and
saw a man in a stooping position be
hind the public fountain nenrhy. Pul
lock could not tell whether the man
was white or black and did not know
what became of him. Itullock declar
ed that he saw Colonel Jack Chlun
walk rapidly Into the state house as he
stepped from the adjutant general's
ollico. Apparently ltullock's statement
did not excite much public llltcrcs.
Captain D. R. Waleott, who had
charge of the Frankfort militia, was
sworn, lie said the company was on
duty at the state capital the day the
legislature met and throughout the
session, but denied that the f ildiers
were lined up ready for marching or
