Declare Judge Is Biased.

The second trial of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers as accessory to the murder of Governor William Goebel was brought to a halt at Georgetown, Ky., by the peremptory challenge of Judge Cantrell by the defense on the ground of partisan feeling. No action was taken on the defense’s affidavit, as court immediately adjourned for the day.
