The direct testimony of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Towers as a witness In his own behalf was not concluded until 3 o'clock this after noon, and the cross-examination, which 'will take up at least all of to-morrow, had progressed only a short way when the court adjourned this afternoon. To-morrow will be the third day with Powers on the stand. Powers this morning took up the testi mony where he had left oft yesterday aft ernoon. The witness said that on the morn ing of the assassination he was preparing to go to Louisville to make arrangements for bringing more people to Frankfort. Ho locked his office door as described by "Wit ness. Golden. He had no recollection of anything being said concerning suspicious actions which Golden had referred to, and was certain nothing of this sort was said. 'At La Grange the party heard that Goebel had been assassinated, and that the shot had been fired from the second or third Etor of the executive building. The wit ness continued: "I said it was a shame and an outrage, and that it would blight the chance of all of us whose offices were in contest. I expressed similar senti ments to other people that day. "We went cn to Louisville, but as the assassination of Mr. Goebel had upset our plans, we, of course, abandoned the idea of bringing more men to Frankfort. Witness said that the statement of Gold en that he spoke derisively when told of the shooting was absolutely false. "I thought it my duty," he continued, "to return to Frankfort, as soon as possible, and did fo that afternoon. I went to the executive building and with my kej the only one I ever had to the office, unlocked iho door. I found that the lock had been battered and had difficulty in getting the key out of it. I did not take the lock off and supplant it with a new one, as has been stated in the evidence. J. I?. Mat thews iut on the new lock." The witness said he never heard any sort Of violence talked of in any of the many conferences in which he participated, ex cept In one held In the commissioner of agriculture's office, in which Sheriff Bur ton, of Breckinridge county, talked in nn incendiary manner and was reproved by witness. TOLD GOLDEN NOTHING. Tho day niter the assassination witness said ho began an Investigation to learn where the shot was fired from. The news papers were intimating that the shooting was done from his office. He employed J. B. Matthews and Detective Griffin, of Som erset. . to assist in the investigation. "I made no statement to Golden that I was catioficd the shots came from my office, and did not tell him I was thinking of going to the commonwealth's attorney to tell him all I knew. "I did have a talk with Governor Brad ley about going to see Franklin, but he advised against it and I did not go." Powers then detailed the events imme diately preceding the arrest of himself and Captain Davis. He raid his attorney, Judge West, advised him to make his way to the mountains and remain there till puMic ex citement died out before giving himself VP for trial. The Legislature had appro priated $100,000 for the prosecution of' per sons charged with the crime, and I did liOt believe it was ro.-ible for me to get a fair trial in Franklin roiintv.

The wlt iiess denied that he had ever had any one of a half dozen or more conversations with witness Wharton Golden, about which tho latter had told on the stand last week, and denied that he had ever talked with him or anybody else about the killing of Goebel or any other members of the Legislatftre. In regard to the testimony of Robert Noaks the witness said he never had a conversation with Noaks In regard to the smokeless powder cartridges, and never saw Noaks at Frankfort Jan. 25, when Noaks alleged that the witness mtide so many damaging statements to him. The witness was kept busy denying statements made by witnesses Noaks, Golden, Culton and Anderson. After the noon recess flowers resumed the stand. In regard to the guns In his of fice, which McKenzie Tood. Governor Tay lor's private secretary, referred to In his testimony, the witness said he did not know how they came there, but understood that one or two of them were left there at the end of Governor Bradley's administration. The others were put in there later, he sup posed, by some of the mountaineers. Wit ness said he wrote the letter to Professor Stevens, of Barboursvilie, Feb. 10, saying in hubatance: "The present demoralized con dition of the Democratic party Is due to me more than to any other man In State. They know I am In favor of an open dec laration of war." NO EXPLANATION ALLOWED. Ex-Governor Brown, who was conduct ing the direct examination, asked what ho meant by this expression. The prosecution objected to any explanation of the letter, on the ground that there was no ambiguity i! bout the words used and that It should go to the jury to be construed by it. The court rustalned this contention, holding that as long as the defendant and other witnesses had given the same testimony In regard to the contents of the letter the jury shouU judge as to the meaning of it. The defense made an exception. The witness admitted part of a conversa tion between him and Representative Hampton, of Knox county, but said Mr, Hampton had misconstrued the main point. What he said was that, if Goebel should lecome Governor and witness held on u the office of secretary of state somebody might assassinate him, but did n-t mean to insinuate that Goebel would have .that done. He also admitted that while lrf jail at Frankfort he urged Culton not to testify in the application for bail, but said that he made that recommendation for Culton's own good, and not because he knew anything that would injure witness. He denied that he had made certain state ments to Miss Susie Snuffer, of Williams burg, or that he offered her any induce ment to leave the State and not testify against him. The witness told of a letter which he said h received from Robert Noaks In March In the letter he says Noaks offered his tervices as witness, saying that he would disprove the chages made against wit ness by Wharton Golden, whose confession v.as being given great attention by the newspapers at that time. In the letter NoaKs said he heard Golden say that "Powers and Finley did not want anybody except little Methodist preachers to go on the mountaineer excursion to Frankfort." and this was offered by Noaks as evidence t- offset Golden's charge that Powers told him to get up "a crowd of regular moun tain feudists." The direct examination was concluded at 2.50, at the close of which the lawyers for the defense held a short consultation. When this was finished the cross-examina-tfon was commenced. Lawyer Campbell conducting It. He said to the witness: "You have stated that the men you brought to Frankfort Jan. 25 were sober, good citi zens and did not contain any mountain feudists. Do you know Joseph Adkins. who is reputed to have killed a half dozen rren?" The witness said he had no recollection of iteing Adkins in Frankfort till after th assassination. A dozen others of alleged questionable characters were also mentioned a? being on the train, but the witness only if'entlfied a few of them. This line of inter rogation was still under way when the court adjourned until to-morrow. Ileckhnm Will Call a Season. FRANKFORT. Ky.. July 31.

Sever Told Her He Wan Associated with Anarchists or Other Secret Societies. HER HOBOKEN HOME SEARCHED BUT SOTIII.G OF AX IXCKIMIXATJXG SATIRE FOUXD. A Female Red'" Speech So Con piracy Anions the Italians of Thin Country. NEW YORK, July 31. A representative of the Italian consulate went to Hoboken to day to see the woman who says she is the wife of Bressi, the assassin of King Hum bert. The object of the visit was to ob tain Information concerning the man for the use of the Italian authorities in pros ecuting the murderer. Mrs. Bressi, whose maiden name was Jennie O'Neil, lived in Chicago before coming east to Hoboken. Mrs. Bressi was closely questioned and she told the same story regarding lur husband that she had already told the reporters. The police searched the house but found no evidence to show that either the woman or her husband was connected with a plot for I the assassination of King Humbert. It is stated that Mrs. Bressi will be kept under surveillance. The consul general in this city is to communicate with the Hoboken police in case the woman is needed by the Italian authorities as a witness. Bressi was a native of Tuscany, Italy, and came to the United States five years ago. He was not a naturalized American citizen though his wife is of American birth. Bressi left Faterson, N. J., on May 22, sailing for Havre by the French line steamer La Gascogne. He told hl3 wife that he was going to visit his birthplace in Italy to look after a little property that belonged to him. But he sailed under an assumed name BranchI Gressari. His wife says she received a letter from him since he arrived in Milan, but he said nothing about killing the King. She refused to be lieve that her husband was the assassin even when the newspaper reports were shown to her. It was only when the assassin in Milan confessed his name and glorified in his crime that his wife believed. When shown copies of the papers con taining the dispatch describing her husband and giving the date of his birth and other facts, she exclaimed: "My God, can it be he! I cannot believe it. It is hardly two months since he left me and it was only three days ago that I got a letter from hlra telling me how happy he was and how soon he expected to be home. I am an American woman. My maiden name was Jennie O'Neil. I met Bressi about three years ago In a weaving factory here in West Hoboken. We worked together in the same factory. I knew he was a Socialist and all that and was opposed to kings and queens and capitalists, but my husband would never kill anybody intentionally. He was not strong. He was never violent. He was afraid of a mouse. He would not have had the courage to commit such an awful act. And yet the description matches him correctly. I even see how they got the name of Angelo Bressi. That is his brother. He is a captain in the Italian army. Some called him by that name here Foor Gaetaneo. I'm afraid this news will kill me. "My husband was of an unusually quiet disposition. He said very little to others, even keeping his business affairs from me, But of late I had noticed that he was particularly quiet and that caused me to think that he had something on his mind. II he was connected with any band or or ganized body of Socialists or Anarchists I know nothing of it. He never mentioned any such organization to me. I have heard him tell of the young man, who murdered the foreman of Wldeman's dye works In Paterson. and then killed himself a few days ago, but I do not believe that my husband was "on intimate terms with him. He may have known him slightly, but as my husband never brought him to the house I do not think they were intimate." Bressl's most intimate friend In West Hoboken is Raffael Magnoll, a fellow countryman, living at 71S Cortlandt street. When asked to give up a photograph of the assassin he refused, saying: "It would be as much as my life is worth to part with that photograph. This part of West Hoboken is a perfect nest of Anarchists. Were It known that I had given you in formation regarding Bressi I would have a knife in my back before I was twenty four hours older." There was a meeting of Anarchists In Paterson, N. J., last night at which the killing of-King Humbert was indorsed. A reporter who sought admittance was wel comed, as it was said that these Anarch ists wanted the whole world to know their sentiments. The principal speaker at the meeting was Krneste Crevella. twenty-one years of age. In the course of an impas sioned address he said: "We are mem bers of the group of Anarchists to which Bressi belonged. He is a martyr, lie has done what we would have him do. Ask me do we approve of the killing of King Humbert. I will answer the question be fore you ask. Of course we do. It was not our instruction to Bressi to kill, but he has done what he knew to be right, and we will sustain him and give him our sympa thy. Was Humbert ever kind to us? No. Was he good to the poor? No. He was a monarch, and all monarch?, according to our vows, must die. Let Nicholas of Rus sia tremble and let the new King of Italy " prepare for death. They are both in human. They are Inhuman because they are monarch?. They would not consent to take the places on the thrones were they not inhuman. It Is a republic that we want and it is a republic that the Anarchists In every country will have." Then came nn Implied threat against high officials in this country when the young man shouted: "They have run us out of Italy, where to have stayed would have been to have starved. We have come here. Things are no better here. AVe are treated like dogs in the mills. We are not considered humans. We do not starve, but there is a worse death than starvation. It is neglect. Who is responsible, for this government? We will try to better it bv fair means, and if we can't succeed then we will resort to other methods." Nicola Gigllotti, R. de Rosalia and P. Pascals are known to the Italians of the United States as the "Triumvirate." They are really the executive committee of the "Italian Republican Confederation" of this country. Mr. Gigllotti is secretary. He made the following statement concerning the murder of King Humbert: "In the name of the Italian Republican Confedera tion of the United States I affirm most em phatically that there has been no plot in this country to k'll King Humbert. We de plore the killing, but we question very much the goodness of King Humbert, whose record as regards labor has been a bad one. Many Italian laborers and lovers of liberty were, killed by his soldiers in the brepd riots not lor g ago without the slight est provocation. It may be that the man wno killed him vindicated the blood of the unfortxinaf who lost their Jives on that ccca5,iort The Italians in this city do not believe 'hat the murder was concocted or was tht 'result of a plot. I do not know what wi'l b the ituaticn In Italy, but one thing l sure, and that is that soon the I. onarchy will be a thing of the past. The Italian federation is about 105.1 strong in U,e United States." 4 . TOOL OF CONSIMK ATOIIS. Bressi the Chosen Instrument of a Band of Annrchint. NEW YORK, July 21. "It can bo stated on the, btst authority that the French police are In possession of important facts ! concerning tho antecedents and associates of Bressi. the murderer of King Humbert, and that they are In communication with the Italian police on the subject," says a cable to the Times from Paris. "While Italian Anarchist leaders who have found refuge In Paris declare publicly that there is no plot behind the assassination the in formation in the hands of the police shows exactly the reverse to be true. One of the chiefs of the political police in an inter view last night declared that after the Milan troubles of 1S'.S. Italian political refugees poured into France, and that many who suffered terms of hard labor then are now coming out of prison and find ing their way abroad. These groups of poli tical refugees who would have grievances against Humbert are veritable hotbeds of intrigue against the Italian monarchy. Bressi passed some time in Paris, and has certainly been brought in contact with the revolutionary Italian party there, and went from Paris to several other European capi tals. The object of Bressl's stay in Ameri ca is declared to have been to collect funds for the Anarachlst cause among Italian workmen in the United States who have more money than their compatriots at homo. "In an interview last night, Amlllcar Caprlana, the great Anarchist leader, said he was glad to hear of the King's death and considered the killing an admirable act. This statement, from such a source is of the greatest importance as showing that the act had political significance." RAID ON BUCKET SHOPS SEVERAL AVKLL-KSOWS PLACES CLOSED BV CHICAGO POLICE. Searly 00 Persons Cnntured and Carted to the StationsPanic During Efforts to Escape. CHICAGO, July SL Nearly 400 persons, many of whom had never seen the inside of a police station, were captured to-day in a wholesale raid on alleged bucketshops located in the downtown district, and carted off to the police stations. A dozen firms, one of them, John Dickinson & Co., prominently connected with the Board of Trade, were visited by the police during the raid, which was so perfectly planned that hardly a person in all the rooms raided succeeded in escaping. The raid, conducted at the busiest hour of the' day on 'Change created considerable excitement and resulted In the floor of the Board of Trade being practically abandoned for the time being, while the traders watched with interest the police as they gathered in their prisoners from the adjacent buildings. One of the prisoners whose name was not learned, captured in the rooms occupied by E. A. Wirsching & Co., attempted to end his life rather than face the humiliation of arrest. Making his way to a lawtory, Jie tried to strangel himself with a towel, but was caught before he had seriously in jured himself and bundled into the patrol wagon. A panic ensued in Wirsching's rooms when the police appeared and sev eral persons were trampled on in the mad rush to escape. Chief of Police Kipley said that to-day's action by the police was but the beginning of series of raids which, he said, would continue until every alleged bucketshop in Chicago was driven out of existence. The places closed by the police included the following: John Dickinson & Co., k. a Wirsching & Co.. Chicago Commission Company, N. M. Nusley, Hotchkins & Co., Brown & Co., F. C. Nohe & Co., Wallace & Co. In nearly every instance the tele phone and ticker wires were cut and the service rendered useless. The books and paraphernalia were also taken possession of by the police.

XXX None of the protests reported to have been made in Alaska against the definition of the provisional boundary line has reached Washington yet and the impres sion prevails in the State Department that the agitation of that subject is based on a lack of knowledge of the exact nature of the agreement effected between the United States and Great Britain by which a most difficult and dangerous subject was re moved from the current negotiations be ween the two countries. It is pointed out by the State Department officials that this provisional boundary line, the running of which Is said to have excited the Amer ican miners In the Porcupine region, is not in any sense binding on either party to the modus Vivendi, except as a purely tempo rary scheme, designed to prevent hostile conflicts between the miners and the police forces, through lack of knowledge as to their rights. The purpose of the arrange ment as to that is fully disclosed by the in clusion in the modus vivendi of a provision in these terms: "It is understood, as for mally set forth In communications of the Department of State of the United States, that the citizens or subjects of either power found by this arrangement in the tempo rary jurisdiction of the other shall suffer no diminution of the rights and privileges which they now enjoy." Every American miner whose claim lies on the wrong side of tne boundary line now being drawn is. according to the official view here, holding his claim by quite as sound a tenure as he enjoyed before the provisional treaty was made. He has neither lost nor gained in strength of title by this arrangement: so he certainly has no cause for complaint, as he would have were the boundary line now being drawn a permanent one. The officials here, how ever, are fully prepared to defend the tem porary boundary, pointing out that, so far from having ceded to Great Britain an Inch of territory. Great Britain temporarily yielded to the I'nited States fully nineteen twentleths of the territory in dispute and suffered her shipping to bo kept ten miles from the boundary line at the nearest point, notwithstanding the Canadian ambi tion to get a port on the Iynn canal. XXX The records of the office of the controller of the currency show that since March 14 last he has approved 426 applications to organize national banks, of which 257 have since been organized and begun business.
