WHAT YOUTSEY SAID
Arthur Goebel Relates' tht
Alleged Confession.
GOVERNOR TAYLOR ItfPLICATif
Jim. Howard, Diclc Coombs and Berry
Howard "Were Selected to Do
the JECillingr.
GEORGETOWN, Ky., Oct 1R The
Youtsey trial was resumed today, al
though Youtsey was reported in the same
condition as last week. His room door
was opened and his bed pulled up in
plain view -and hearing" of the jury and
while tho witnesses were being examined,
Youtsey could be beard palling his wife's
name In a hollow, moaning voice and
she could be seen -sitting on bis bed.
Tho feature of the day was the testi
mony of Arthur Goebel, brother of the
murdered man.
When court convened, Nelson, for the
defense, said the physician reported Yout
Beys condition unchanged, and asked for
further postponement of the trial. Frank
lin, for the commonwealth, objected. Col
onel Campbell, for the prosecution, said
the doctor held that. Youtsey was able to
hear, understand and reason, but that he
could not ajways talk. He endeavored to
show that Youtsey was simulating: Nel
son said ho and Judge Askew were alone
with Youtsey;- and vainly tried to '-arouse
him.
Judge Cantrill overruled -the motion for
Henry M. Yontsey.
continuance, and said that all the rights
of the defendant wpuld be preserved un
der the law. , A
-lonor-rttWfbrdasked that 'the phy
sicians be allowed, to testify to the condi
tion of the defendant The request was
granted, and Dr. Carrick said Youtsey
was weaker and no better." "While Dr.
iCnox was testifying the door of Yout
sey's room opened, and(he could be heard
groaning and sobbing hysterically.
Judge Cantrill said ho had no discretion
in' the matter," and that the trial must
.proceed. Court then adjourned until 2
o'clock.
On convening, the court said It had no
discretion in the matter and unless coun
sel would agree, he would have to rule
that Youtsey must actually be present In
court. No agreement could be reached
and at 2:30, Youtsey was. brought to the
door of the juryroom on his bed and the
door leftvopen. Tho defense asked that
James Howard be brought from the jail
In Frankfortto testify at 9 o'clock Wed
nesday morning on behalf of Youtsey.
Arthur Goebel then took the stand. He
told of going to the Jail the day Youtsey
was arrested and then said:
"I put my left hand on Mr. Youtsey's
right shoulder and said: 'Mr. Youtsey,
Colonel Campbell has just returned and
told be what you have said to him,
and I have come over to have you tell
mo what you have told him, to tell me
whether it is true and to aBk you a few
other questions. Mr. Youtsey said: "Yes,
Mr. Goebel, what I have told Colonel
Campbell Is true.'
"I then said to Youtsev: Now. I
would like to have vyou T tell me about!
getting tne Key Monday morning from
Powers and about Dick Coombs, and
about going to see Taylor Tuesday morn
ing and where you got the cartridges.'
"Youtsey proceeded and said: 'Just as
I told Colonel Campbell, I had a talk with
Dick Coombs, Monday morning, and he
told me he was ready to do the -shooting
and I went to Caleb Powers for tho
key to his office and he told be to go to
John Powers. I went to John Powers
and John Powers gave me the key. I
went to Governor Taylor arid I told Gov
ernor Taylor that Dick Coombs Was ready
to do the shooting. Governor Taylor
sold: "You ought not to come to' see
me about this. I have been expecting
this to " be dope for some time, but I
object to having a negro do it. It is too
"important a piece of work. Coombs may
bo a spy and he may betray us.' "
"Youtsey hesitated and I said: Very
well, what did you do next?
"Youtsey said: 'I left Governor Tay
lor and Tuesday morning r went back
to Governor Taylor. I said to him: "The
man to do the shooting is now here.' "
"I Interrupted Youtsey there and I said:
You have told Colonel Campbell the
name of that man and that Is one rea
son why- I came over here to see you.
Now, If 'you know that much " you
can also give me the name of the
man,' and Mr. Youtsey said: 'Well, I told
him Jim Howardwas here; that I thought
he got here Monday night.
"I asked: 'What else did Taylor say?
"Youtsey said: 'Governor Taylor walk
ed up and down the floor and said: "Yout
sey, what do you think? If Goebel is
killed do you think I could hold my
office?" He discussed the matter, talk
ing to me back and forth, and I said to
him I thought if Goebel was put out of
the way the contest would be settled and
he could hold his office. Finally I said to
him, as Governor Taylor hesitated still:
"It Is up to you; decide now whether it is
to be done or not" '
"After some more hesitating, Youtsey,
stated that Taylor finally said: 'Well,
tell them to go ahead. If It is necessary
I can. send the man to the mountains
with a squad of soldiers.' I said: 'Did
he say anything about pardoning him?'
'and Youtsey said: 'Yes, that Is so.4 He
said: "If it is necessary I can pardon
him and he will be safe enough." '
"Youtsey then stopped and I asked:
What did you do then? You told Colonel
Campbell, as he told me, that you leti
certain people Into Powers office.' Yout
sey said: Yes. I the, went back and
reported.' 'I told Berry Howard and Dick
Coombs and Jim Howard to go and be'
in the hall of -the executive building and
then I left'
'I said: 'What "did you do?'
""Youtsey said: 'I went andv got the
cartridges.'
"I said: "Very well, go on.'
"Youtsey said: 'When I went back,
jHJPj.1-
Berry Howard and Dick ,Coombs.and Jim
Howard were in. the bal and I unlocked
the door and let them In and gave them
the cartridges.' $.
"I again Interrupted $ad asked Yout
sey to whom he had given 'the cartridges.
I said: That Is one question that I
wanted to risk you, .Mr. Youtsey, and he
said: 'I gave them to Jflni Howard. He
was the last man who went in the door
"I said: 'How many did you give him 7
and he said: 'I gave him the wholo box.
"I said: 'Mr. Youtsey, who fired the
shot?' and he said: 'I cannot tell you, I
did not see him.'
"I said: 'What did you: do wjien you
let them In?' and he said: 1 stayed near
the door.' N
"I said: You gavo the cartridges' to
Jim Howard? and he replied: 'Yes, sir
''Mr. Yeutsey then stopped and I said
to him: 'Mr. Youtsey, sou have Just
told Colonel Campbell ana told ho that
Monday morning you went to Governor
Taylor and told him that 'Dick Coombs
was ready to do the shooting, but Taylor
objected and now you tell me that Tues
day morning you let Dick Coombs Into
the office. How Is that?'
"Youtsey hesitated and, then finally said:
'Well, those were the -three men I let in.
I looked at him and sold: 'They say also
that Berrjr Howard was in tho left hand
lobby of the legislature and you say you
let him in that room?' Youstey finally
said: 'Those are the three men I let in
there.' "
Wharton Golden testified that he saw
John L. Powers give Youtsey a key Jan
uary 29, and Powers said it was a key to
Caleb Powers' office.
W. H. Culton testified that Youtsey told
Him of the plan to kill Goebel and es
cape through, the basement; that Youtsey
asked him to swear after the shooting
that he (Youtsey) was in the Legislative
hall when the shot was fired; that Yout
sey told him that Governor Taylor had
been urging him to leave the state, and
Culton said he told Taylor about it and
Taylor told Youtsey to deny any such
thing in the future and. deny all knowl
edge ot the shooting. Culton was cross
examined, and stood up fairly well under
the cross-fire. Upon the conclusion of
his testimony, the commonwealth rested
its case and court adjourned until to
morrow morning to give the defense time
to consult as to making- a statement to
the jury. ,

' SALKM, Oct. IB Hon. Tilirion Ford. Republican candidate for Presidential Electoral a
native of Maflon'County, and lias, been a practicing attorney j In this city for the past SO
years. The people of. Marlon County have elected - him to resrescnt them at the- sessions of
the Oreson Legislature, the first time in 1SS0. -At that session he Introduced and secured
the passage of a' bill for establishment of the Oregon, Insane Asylum.' .He was. re-elected
two years 'later, and worked successfully for the enactment of several reformatory measures,
among them laws regilatlns the management of -the asylum so 'that tMepat!ents would re
ceive proper and efficient attention at' tho least posslblo cost to the taxpayer. He served hla
last term In 1893, and at that session was active In pasaago of laws quieting land titles de
fective by reason of Irregularities. In the forms of deeds.
Raised on a farm, Mr. Ford's natural inclination has always been to follow the occupa
tion of a farmer as much! as possible In connection with his law practice. 'and heja now
thtf owner of several ot the best farms In Marlon County. Although he .does not make pre
tentions ot oratorr, he has a happy way of presenting his facts and arguments in an orig
inal and 'forceful manner.. He Is especially able as a political speaker, and always draws
large audiences. In 1806 he 'canvassed Eastern Oregon In tho interests of McKlnley and Ho
Square. ln Which tho Rnenlrpr't! crnnr? ViorT
been "erected and decorated, " was con-
gesxea witn men and women anxious' to
hear him. Though the audience was) not
so enthusiastic as that which gathered
at Lexington or- that at Mount Sterling or
at. Ashland or at Maysyllle, the Governor,
was 'given the most respectful attention
and, he was interrupted frequently by ap
plause or by persons who made friendly
comments upon tho salient points of hi3l
speecn.
It was the 10th speech Governor Roose
velt had made since morning, the first
being , at Lexington, where W. C. P.
Breckinridge and Judge Durham, both ex
Confederate officers, put the crowd in tho
best of -humor In jointly endorsing tho
Governor Then at Winchester and next
at Mount Sterllncr. other lare-n crnwflo
greeted thp arrival of the train, providing
political parades. Moorehead, Ashland,
Greenup, South Portsmouth. Vanceburg
and Maysvllle in successive order paid
tribute to the Governor's popularity in
Kentucky and tho crowd which gathered
at the depot here betrayed no diminution
of the desire to see him.
Early in the day, Leslie Coombs, chair
man of the Republican State Committee,
had received dispatches from Covington
informing him that Republican leaders
there were apprehensive that an organized
effort would be made to break up tonight's
meeting. Mr. Coombs 'hurriedly trans
mitted his information to the Governor,
whereat the Governor smiled broadly and
assured the chairman that there could
bo no possible danger of serious interrup
tion of his tour in Kentucky. To in
suTe absolute tranquillity and to provide
against any display of hostility, Chief
of PoUce Pugh and the Sheriff of this
county doubled their forces. All such
precautions, however, proved to be un
necessary, for beyond isolated Instances
of go'dd-natured badinage and the tooting
of a few tin horns, tho meeting was as
peaceable as a matinee.
The Governor's speech was brief. After
the speaking, Governor Roosevelt was
escorted by the First Votoi's' Club, of Cin
cinnati, to the Grand Hotel In th.it rltv
where an informal reception was held and
whero he will remain until tomorrow
morning, when he will enter upon his itin
erary in Ohio. In his speech tonight
Governor Roosevelt said:
"I wish to anneal to von men nf "Ken
tucky In the name of civil liberty. I re
gard the currency as an important Issue;
I regard our -prosperity as an important
Issue, but more important than anything
else is the right of every man to cast
his vote as he chooses and to have it
counted as cast. We can afford to differ
on questions of policy, but we cannot
afford to differ upon the fundamental
rights of American citizenship. (Ap
plause.) "In the State of Kentucky, every man
is In -honor bound to stand up and see
that there is np condoning of the offenses
of those who violate the will of the peo
ple. There should be favoritism for none
and discrimination against none. I wish
on this point to appeal not only to Repub
licans, not only to Gold Democrats, not
onlv to Sllvrir Dermonrnts. whn frnm -htph

eiao in- tno wrong tnat tney nave oone,
men who are misled by the shibboleth of
a party name
"We have reached a stage in the cam
paign when our opponents are engaged in
busily explaining either their actions or
their words. Mr. Jones, the chairman of
the Bryanlte Democracy, has juat been
explaining that he is not connected with
trusts, because the cotton-bale trust is
not a trust. Of course, using the word
in a technical sense, there Is no trust in
the country. The sugar trust and the
Standard Oil trusts are not technically
trusts at all, but simply great corpora
tions. So the otton-ba!e trust Is. In the
same sense of the word, not a trust, but a
corporation. But, of cours, all tbi3 is
mere quibbling. Using the word In the
popular sense as we generally do use It,
all these corporations are trusts. It is
sheer -hypocrisy- to speak of the steel
trust, the sugar trust and the Standard
Oil trust and then deny that the cotton
bale trust, the ice rust and the whisky
trust combines are in the same cate
gory. "Saturday last In Ohio, Mr. Bryan tried
to defend himself for what he had said
about our Army, answering my criticisms.
He first of all stated that I had changed
my position since my Detroit speech,
which is simply not so. I stand pre
cisely where I stood then and Mr. Bryan
either knows this or ought to know it.
Our regular Army is infinitesimal in size,
compared with the population, and even
Mr; Bryan ought not to be afraid of the
SS-100 of a regular soldier for every 1000
of our people. In the next place, Mr.
Bryan sought refuge in saying that the
Army bill had been amended. It is, of
course. Idle to quibble about the amend
ments. The present law is what ,ho 13
speaking of and what I was speaking of.
At' present, we have an Army of 100,000
men, C5.000 of which are regulars, and it
was concerning this army that Mr. Bryan
spoke "when he stated that the object of
getting it was to terrorize the laboring
men when they made just demands.
"It is impossible to stigmatize too
strongly such a statement. It doe3 not
contain a scintilla of truth, it has not a
particle of foundation, it can only appeal
to thoroughly base and unworthy pas
sions. The bill was voted for by the
majority of the patriotic Democrats of
both houses. Does Mr. Bryan mean to
imply that these Democrats who so voted,
headed by Senator Cockrell, were actu
ated by a purpose of putting tho Army
Into forts near the great cities in order
to terrorize workingmen. What he says
applies as, much to the Democrats who
voted for tho bill as to the Republicans,
and if such a statement is slanderous as
regards some of the supporters of the
bill. It is aiso slanderous as regards the
others. The simple truth is, as Bryan
perfectly knows, that every Intelligent
man foresaw that there would be trouble
in the Philippines and that, for this rea
son, as welUa sto garrison our seacoast
fort3j and for other duties such as meet
ing a contingency like that which arose
In China, the Army was provided. ,
"When Mr. Bryan advocated tht sign
ing of the treaty with Spain he advo
vated the taking of tho Philippines, and,
therefore, restoring and keeping order
in them, and if he was so blind as not to
foresee the trouble ahead, the reflection
Is upon him and upon no one else. The
only thing that eould have avoided trouble
In the Philippines was the policy of
scuttle, the policy of craven, ignoble,
flying and shirking of duty. To stay
there and establish a stable government.
as proposed by Mr. Bryan, is a policy
