Vualarr In Hr Trlril mi Monday,
Frankfort. Ky.. Brpl. 26 —Jam** H. How
ard. who hoa been on trial (or t lie part
ten day* chanted with he In* a principal
in th aaraaiinatlon of William Goebel,
was found Tfulhy to-day, the Jury fixing
hla punlahment at death.
The fact that the Jury hail deliberated
all bf yaaterday afternoon without reach
ing a verdict led to the belief that It was
tiopeteoaly divided, and this fact made the
verdict a a nock to Howard and thoae who
hoped for hi* ultimate acquittal.
Howard ttid not loro hlr composure when
the verdict calling for Ihe extreme penalty
of the law war read In the crowded court
t'flm He glanced at hla attorneys, who
rat beside him, and smiled and said noth
ing.
After the Jury had been discharged How
ard waa taken back to Ihe. Jail and here
for the first time he betrayed emotion. He
railed for a pen anti paper and wrote a
long letter to hla wife, during which tears
counted down his cheeks. He war Joined
later by his attorneys, who spent a good
part of the day in conference with him in
regard to the motion for anew trial,
which will be filed to-morrow, and other
matters in eonneciion with the case.
Caltnn Released on Hail.
W. H. Oulton. who I* under Indictment
OS an accessory to ’be Goebel murder and
who gave danfnging evidence against
Howard and Caleb Powers, was released
on bail Ibis afternoon and his case was
continued until the January term. His
bond was fixed at flO.nou and his brother
in-lnw. E. E. Hogg of Owaley county, and
3. P. Halcomb and John Johnson of Jack
son county became his sureties.
Howard's Krienda Are Hitter.
Howard and his friends are very bluer
in their denunciation of wltnesees, who,
it Is charged, were In Ihe conspiracy to
munler Ooeiiel, and who have since been
manufacturing testimony against othi rs
in order to obtain immunity for them
selves.
"Jim” Howard, as he ia commonly
Known in the mountains. Is a strikingly
hiUMisome man. 44 years of age. ami would
he one of the last to be pointed out by a
-trangter as the man on trial He has
the record, howe er, of being the leader of
the Howard-White faction in the Baker*
Howard feud In Clay rounty. In which
numerous lives were taken. He had killed
Heorge Baker. and was suspected of the
sssaaslnulion of Tom Maker, who was
kiled after the same fashion as the Goe
lel murder, and Howard's friends believe
that these facts had very much to do
with the making of the verJict sentencing
him to the gallows.
The trill of Henry E. Youtscy of New
port will be called next at Georgetown on

From Bring the l.lmll.
From the Chicago Record
There have hen some Interesting and
mysterious stories In circulation shout the
short live* of Ihe big guns that are used
on aur battleships and roast for title.itiooa.
One of the yarns most frequently told la
that She t2-lneh gun. which carries g ton
of mri.il for twelve of fifteen miles, can
only lie fired l<*> limes with safely, ha
cause Ihe Iremendous pressure destroys
Ihe cohesive |>ower of Ihe metal and Ibua
weakens It and renders M liable to explode.
Thar stories have got Into book*, and Ihe
"lOu-flrtag fallacy" la accepted by some
of the ablest authorities on ordnance. The
hlg Krupp gun at Ihe World's Fair In
Chicago wli an object of even greater
Inlerrsl. when visitors were In Id lhas It
bad been fired sixteen limes and couldn't
be fired again without danger of explo
sion because the mnal af which It Is
made had become "nerveless.”
Admiral O'Neill, chief of ordnance af the
Nary Department, say* Ibis la ull hum
bug. "The only damage suffered by the
hlg guns from frequent firing Is Ihe wear
ing out of the rifle grooves." hr says, "and
that I* easily repaired. Thr gun ran either
be rifled over again or II pan be 'tobad'—
that I*, a rifled tub* can h* filled Into Ihe
bore, aa Is frequently dime In England,
and Ihe gun 1* a a good as new.''
"There la no such thing a* a gun getting
'nerveless.' " continued Ihe Admiral. "The
