Prosecution Witness Links Goebel Case to Kentucky Mountaineers
Wharton Golden testified in the preliminary examination of Caleb Powers that two Kentucky men planned to kill Goebel and named Hockersmith and Dick Coombs. The witness implicated several figures including John Powers and Charles Finley, while Governor Taylor’s involvement appeared unlikely. Prosecutors say enough evidence exists to hold Powers, and defense teams offered no comment on possible challenges.
