Powers on the Stand as Defense Lets Mountaineers Enter Fray
Ex Secretary Caleb Powers testified in his own defense in the Goebel murder case in Georgetown. He admitted organizing mountaineers to Frankfort to influence the contest board and legislature but said the aim was to petition and show support, not intimidate. He denied possessing any key to the office, claimed others held keys, and described meetings with Governor Taylor and plans to bring crowds while avoiding violence. The defense argued political motives and secrecy while prosecutors pressedWitnesses for money and credibility.
