They are two negroes" replied
Youtsey. Lone of them is named
'Tallow Dick Combs and the other is
Mason Hockersmith.
"IIl be damned if / will agree to
binding myself to negroes, is the re
ply which Youtsey says Taylor made
to him. Youtsey then told Taylor
he had 81, 200. that the man demand
ed 81 800, and ubat in order TO have
the Job done he would have to raise
$500 more. Taylor put his foot down
on this scheme. and said il any one
was to be hired to kill Gpebel it
would have to be a white man before
be would become n party to it. Yout-
sey became discoDsolate, and told
Senator Deboe. The senator said as
sassination was unnecessary. as he
had it fixed for The legislature to seat
Berry, and that done Goebel could not
hope to win But Berry was not
seated, and Youtsey sgain went to
Taylor, saying something must be
done.

Il know it, :" replied Youtsey. ''but
il must be done"
Il will never consent to hiring the
negroes" spoke up the executive
firmly.
Youtsey then said some one else
could be occurred, and asked Taylor
for the $500. Youtsey said that
thereupon Taylor handed him the
$500.
This is condensation of Youtsey's
confession. When Youtsey had gone

Since then Youtsey has said moth

gave the 81, 800 or whether he gave il

Youtsey's confession, as far as he

confession before Powers trial began.
Then differences arose. Youtsey was
willing to tell all if granted immunity
