Georgetown, Ky. Oct. 9.-One OF the
most remarkable scenes ever enacted
In Kentucky court occurred tonight
IN the trial of Henry Il. Youtsey.
charged with being a principal in the
shooting of Governor Goebel, the de-
PENDANT himself being the chief partici-
pant. The court room was crowded
at the tlme and the excitement was in
vile, had just told OF his talks with
noutsey before and after his arrest.
Then Arthur Goebel was put on the
stand and Judge Ben Williams. who
Tor the first time appeared for the pros
ecution. did the questioning.
Arthur Goebel said:
Il 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"
YOUTSEY BECOMES VIOLENT.
Just at this point Youtsey arose be-
hind his attorneys and in n loud voice
said:
1T is untrue. it is lie; l never spoke
word 10 that man in any life, nor he
to me-
Colonel Crawford told him to he quiet
and sit down and others took hold of
him.
Il will not sit down. never said Il
word to that man: it is untrue
lie was shouting by this time and
every one was becoming excited. Yout-
seys wife sprang 10 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: Il am innocent. There is no
blood on my hands. These men are
swearing my life away"
Two or three deputy sheriffs went
over and grabbed him. He struggled
wildly and said:
Let me alone: 1 will not sit down"
Arthur Goebel meanwhile sat Sphyn-
like in the witness chair and never
turned his head. Finally. after Yout-
sey was forced into a seat, he shouted
again:
"Goebel is not dead. All the demons
In hell could not kill him."
THE JUDGE INTERPRETERS.
"NIr. Sheriff. If the defendant does
not behave himself put handouts on
him." said Judge Caniril. Meanwhile
the audience could not be forced to
keep their seats until the Judge threat
cned to fine those who stood up.
Youtsey settled back in his chair
closed his eyes and seemed in n state
of collapse. He waved his handker-
chief above his head in an aimless sort
of way and groaned and cried hyster-
ically.
Judge Williams asked Arthur Goebel
another question. when Colonel Craw-
ford asked n postponement of the trial
until tomorrow on account of the de-
PENDANTS condition.
Judge Cantrill said he could not see
any cause or reason for the defendants
outbreak. but in justice to his attor-
neys he would postpone the case until
to- morrow. Mr.. Franklin said the
Commonwealth had not The slightest
objection to adjourning until to-mor-
row, and court so adjourned.
UNABLE TO WALK
Youtsey still occupied his chair with
his eyes closed, apparently in half
fainting condition. After the crowd
passed out Jaier Reed and deputies
carried Youtsey To the JAIL as he was
unable TO walk
Various reasons are assigned for his
outbreak, the first being that his long
confinement and strain of the trial
caused him to ! come hysterical and
lose control of himself. Another is that
he is really demented as shown by his
remark thar Goebel is not dead. He is
being attended by physicians and rela-
tives at the Jail. and his condition is
deemed critical.
