Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 16.-The trial
OF Henry f. Youtsey. charged with be-
ing a principal in the killing Of Gov
ernor Goebel, was resumed yesterday,
although Youtsey was reported in the
same condition as last week. His room
door was opened and his bed pulled up
In plain view Of the jury, and while
the witnesses were being examined
Houtsey could be heard calling his
wife's name in hollow, moaning voice
and could be seen to be sitting on his
bed.
The feature of the day was the testi-
mony Of Arthur Goebel, brother of the
dead governor. He told of going to the
Jail the day Youtsey was arrested and
then said:
Il put my left hand on Mr.. Youtsey's
right shoulder and said: 'Mr. Youtsey,
Colonel Campbell has just returned
and told me what you have said to
him, and l have como over to have you
tell me what you have told him; o tell
me whether il is true, and to ask you
a few other questions Mr.. Youtsey
said: Yes. Mr.. Goebel, what have told
Col. Campbell is true.
Il then said to YOutgey: Now. would
like TO have you tell me about getting
the key on Monday morning from Pow
ers and about Dick Combs and about
going to see Taylor. and also about
going to see Taylor on Tuesday morn
ing and where you got the cartridges
Houtsey proceeded and said: Just as
told Col. Campbell, / had a talk with
Dick Combs on Monday morning and
he told me that he was ready to do the
shooting, and I went to Caleb Powers
Tor the key to his office and he told me
TO go 10 John Powers. l went to John
Powers and John Powers gave me the
key. | went to Gov. Taylor and told
him that Dick Combs was ready to do
the shooting. Gov. Taylor said You
ought not to come to see me about this.
l have been expecting this to be done
Tor some time, but I object to having a
negro do It. 1t is too important a
piece OF work. Combs may be a SPY
and he may betray u.s.. Youtsey hesi-
tated and / said; Very well, what did
you do next?
"Youtsey said: I left Gov Taylor
and on Tuesday morning 1 went back
to him and said: The man to do the
shooting is now here.
Il interrupted Youtsey there and I |
said: You have told Col. Campbell |
the name of that man, and that is one
reason why / came over here to see /
you. Now. if you know that much you |
can also give me the name of the man,
and Youtsey said: Well. I told him |
Jim Howard was here; that 1 thought |
he got here Monday uight.'
81 asked: What else did TAYLOR |
sayT Youtsey said: Governor Tay- |
lor walked up and down the floor and |
said: Youtsey, what do you think? |
If Goebel is killed, do you think / |
could hold my office? He discussed
that matter, talking to me back and |
forth, and / said to him / thought If |
Goebel was put out of the way that the |
contest would be settled and that he |
could hold the Office Finally I said |
to him, as Governor Taylor hesitated |
STILL II is up to you to decide now /
finally whether it is to be done or not
and after some more hesitation Yout- /
sey stated that Taylor said finally: |
We'll, tell them TO go ahead. If It is /
necessary, / can send the man to the
mountains with a squad of soldiers.
1 said: Did he say anything about |
pardoning him?' And Youtsey said:
Yes, that is So He said: If it is
necessary I can pardon him and he will
be safe enough Youtsey then stopped,
and / asked: What did you do then? /
You told Col. Campbell as he told me,
that you let certain people into Bow
er's Office
"Youtsey said: Yes. I then went
back and reported. / told Berry How
ard and Dick Combs and Jim Howard |
TO go and be in the hall Of the execu.
tive building, and l then left said:
What did you do?'
"Youtsey said: I went to get the
cartridges. When I went back Berry
Howard and Dick Combs and Jim
Howard were in the hall and / I'M
locked the door and let them in and
gave them the cartridges 1 again in
terrupted and asked Youtsey as to
whom he had given the cartridges. and
he said; I gave them to Jim Howard.
He was the last man who went to the
door,
"I said: How many did you give
him?' and he said; I gave him the
whole box said: Mr.. Youtsey.
