YOUTSEY GETS WILD.
His Actions Force an Adjourn
ment of the Court.

Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 1o.-One of the
most remarkable scenes ever enacted In
a Kentucky court occurred last night in
the Youtsey trial, the defendant himself
being the chief participant. The court
room was crowded at the time and the
excitement was intense. Dee Armstrong,
the Louisville detective, had just told of
his talks with Youtsey before and after
his arrest Then Arthur Goebel was put
on the stand. and Judge Ben Williams,
who for the first time appeared for the
prosecution. did the questioning.
| Arthur Goebe1 said:
7 talked with Youtsey the day he was
arrested, late in the afternoon, in the
| jail in Frankfort, in reference to the
murder of my brother"
Just at this point Youtsey arose be-
hind his attorneys and in a loud voice
said:
1T is untrue-it is a Iie-I never spoke
a word to that man in my life, nor he to
Col. Crawford told him to be quiet
and sit down, and others took hold of
him.
Il will not sit down. I never said a
word to that man-it is untrue
He was shouting by this time and ev-
cry one was on tiptOe of excitement.
Youtsey's wife sprang to his side, and
while endeavoring to make him sit down
could be heard saying:
Now you have killed my husband,
suppose you are satisfied
Then Youtsey Historically shouted
again:
I am innocent; there is no blood on
my hands. These men are swearing my
life away.S
Two or three deputy sheriffs went over
and grabbed him. He struggled wildly
and said:
LET me alone. I will not sit down"
Arthur GOebel meanwhile sat sphinx
like in the witness chair and never turn
nd a
forced into a seat he shouted again:
"Goebel is not dead-an the demons in
hell could not kill him.
Mr.. Sheriff if the defendant does NOT
behave himself put handcuffs on him.
said Judge Cantrill. Meanwhile the au-
dience could not beforced to keep their
seats until the judge threatened to fine
those who stood up. TOutSey settled
back in his chair, closed his eyes and
seemed in a state of collapse. He waved
his handkerchief above his head in an
aimless sort of way. and groaned and
cried Historically. Finally quiet was re-
stored, and Judge Williams asked Ar
thur Goebel another question, when Col.
Crawford asked postponement of the
trial until today on account of the de-
fendant's condition Judge CantrilI said
he could see no cause or reason for the
defendants outbreak, but in Justice to
his attorneys he would postpone the case
until today.
Youtsey still occupied his chair. with
his eyes closed, apparently in a half
fainting condition. After the crowd
passed out Jailer Reed and deputies car
ried Youtsey to the jail, as he was IN
able to walk. Various reasons are as
signed for his unseemly outbreak. the
first being that his long confinement
and the strain of the trial caused him to
become hysterical and lose control Of
himself Another is that he is really
demented. as shown by his remark that
Goebel was not dead. Youtsey was at
tended by physicians and relatives at
the Jail, and his condition was deemed
critical.
