NEETISG-MR. KIScAID MAKES AN EMpHATIC
DENIAL
A pleasantly situated room on the first floor
o. Providence hospital is occupied by ex-Rep-
resentatIve Taulbee. who IS lowering between
life and the dread flight from the effects of
the wound inflicted By Charles Kincaid. the
Washington correspondent of the Louisville
Tia,es. The interview with himself and brother
published in Yesterdays STAR. occurred so
late in the afternoon that from necessity only
the main facts were given. Mr. 1aubees
room is No. -, and when The STAR re-
porter entered yesterday 1t showed that every
attention was being bestowed on the sick man.
Severa! punches o. flowers threw a fragrance
over the scene of pain and sorrow. DR.. Taul-
bee, the brother, and the son of the ex-Repre-
sentative are devoted in their attendance at the
sick bed, scarcely leaving for the necessary
basty meals.
APPEARANCE OF THE WOUNDED NAN.
Mr.. Taulbces face is drawn and pinched
rather than pale. A bandage covers his fore
head and left eye. When The STAR reporter
saw him he was suffering only a small amount
OF Paia, the most of which consisted in shoot
ing darts of pain through the head. Mr.. Taul-
bee speaks with difficulty and seerns to have
trouble III collecting his thOuGEts-In fact II is
matter OF considerable trouble fO- him to
derstand any one bu: his brother or his son.
with whose voices he is familiar. The wounded
mans throat Is sprayed by meaus of atom
izer almost constantly to overcome the dry
ness. When askedIf lie wished to say anything
to the public Mr.. TaUibee replied: Il DO not
know what statements have already been made.
and besides it Is almost impossible for me to
concentrate my thoughts for any time"
DIR. Taulbee then told his brother that he
was going TO make a statement for TIE STAR of
~ e. II. IL
and to this Mr- 1aulbee gave his assent.
The full account of the sad affair. part of
which appeared in yesterday STAR, as gathered
from DR.. laulbee. IS as follows:
THE MEETING.
when Taulbee and kincaid met shortly af-
ter noon on Friday and Taulbee asked him
to go somewhere and have consultation
Kincaid said he could not go, as he was ex-
pectlng TO meet a gentleman, emphasizing the
word gentleman; that he had made up his
mind to have nothing to do with or say to Mr..
Tau!bce and that he (Taulbee) must leave the
place. hlncald SAID also that he had 10 arms
but would procure them if necessary. There
upon Iauibee said that he had no arms either
and that kIncaIds conduct strongly i'll
dicated that he was a villain and a
liar and that lie (Taulbee) should make
no further efforts to compromise the unpleas-
ant feeling existing between them. Mr. Taul-
bee then took Mr.. kincaid by the ear and
counter with kincaid TaulDee re-entered upon
some business With ex-Gov. NJ G. Creary and
another kentuckian, after which he had lunch
IN the House restaurant with Mr.. Peel
OF Arkansas and another member from
Indiana. After lunch he returned to
the House and almost Immediately started back
toward the restaurant with ex-Door Keeper

going down the stairs as he approached him
from the rear. Mr.. Taulbee turned his face
and hlQcall shot him There
