Then Youtsey historically shouted
again:

said ho could sco no cause or reason for

to his attorneys ho would postpond tho

unable to walk Various reasons arc
assigned fol his outbreak, the first be-
ing that his long confinement and
strain Of tho trial caused him to be-
come historical and lose control Of him
self. Another is hat he roally do
mentod as shown by his romark that
Goebel was not dead. He 10 being at
tondod by physicians and relatives at
tho Jail and his condition is doomed
