Powers, Caleb. My own story. [**]$1.50. Bobbs.
“An account of the conditions in Kentucky leading to the assassination of William Goebel, who was declared governor of the state, and my indictment and conviction on the charge of complicity in his murder.” It is also the story of Powers’s life, and of his early days, his brief romance, his political career, and the five years of trial and imprisonment. The book is written in confinement and is, of course, a complete vindication of the author. It is illustrated with photographs.
“On the whole it is done temperately, even complacently, in spite of the tragic nature of the circumstances for the author.”
