Caleb IWers Asks For Transference. t Wants His Case Tried in United c States Court?He Claims Ted- v eral Interference 011 the Grounds of Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. '1 Georgetown, May 5.?With two * life sentences reversed and after * having been under a death sentence for more than a year before 1 that verdict also was reversed, s Caleb Powers, accused of conspir- ^ acy to murder Win. S Goebel, d made application today to the ' Scott circuit court to have his case s transferred to the United States c district court for the eastern dis1 trict of Kentucky. The petition marked another sudden change of far reaching importance in one of the most dramatic trials in the H history of American jurisprudence 1 Coincident with the filing of the 1 petition was the appearance of former Governors Richard Yates of Illinois and Frank S. Black of y New Vork as counsel for Powers.!' Powers bases his petition for a|l transfer of his case to the Federal 1 court on the claim that he has ' been denied, and is now being de- 1 1 nied, equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the 14th amend- ' ment of the constitution of the ' United States and on the claim that by the workings of the State courts of Kentucky in his case that this portion of the 14th 1 amendment prohibiting any State 1 from depriving any person of life, ' liberty or property without due process of law has hi en violator} In support of this claim two main 1 points are cited: First, that the courts refused to recognize a pardon issued in legal form by the , then legally constituted governor of Kentuckv. Second that in all < , three of his trials before, the Scott j > circuit court the juries have been solidly packed with Gocbel demo- ! crats, the -jiolitical opponents of i , the defendant, and that under the Kentucky code this selection of Democratic juries is permissible. The first main clause covering the issue of the pardon is of unusual interest since there is no provision in the Kentucky statutes ^ preventing the governor from ex1 crcising the pardoning power be. fore trial. Goebel was shot Jan. 1 30, 1900. According to the pe8 tition, Powers was arrested 011 a warrant issued March 10, some time before the indictment was } returned. When arrested he produced a pardon signed by Win. S Taylor as governor, and attested _ by Caleb Powers as secretary of . state. This pardon bore date sub( sequent to that of the warrant and n covered the offense specified in V ft,. 1't j inv. wui iiiiu, tin iiiiuiisi; oil which n rowers has been tried three times The petition states that at each of 8 his three trials Powers produced the pardon as complete satisfaction of the charge against him but that the trial court in each in stance refused to admit it and m that on each appeal the court of appeals sustained the trial court k on this point. il Judge Stout called a special * term of court for July 10 to pass 8 upon the question as to whether ^ today's petition should be admiti ted to the court.
