INDICTMENT OF TAYLOR
RUMORS ABOUT IT HOLD THE
BOARDS IN KENTUCKY.
Omcial Confirmation Is LackinE-The
Governor In Washington Look
ing After His Case.

FRANKFORT. KY. April 2O-when the
orders of the Circuit Court were read this
morning all names announced as having
been indicted yesterday were read by the
clerk but the name of Governor w. S.
Taylor was not mentioned
There is much comment to-day over the
unofficial reports regarding the proceedings
in the grand jury room in connection with
the alleged indictment of Governor Taylor
1t is alleged that there was a disturbance
in the grand jury room and the most sem
sational reports are being circulated re-
garding the scenes in the grand jury room
at that time and the alleged pressure for
the indictment. While it is generally be-
lieved that exaggerated reports have been
circulated regarding the scenes in the
grand jury room at the time the vote was
taken on the indictment of Taylor, ii is, at
the same time, now generally believed that
a true bill was returned in this case, with
an order that the announcement would
not be made public until Governor Taylor
returned from Washington to the State.
Unofficial reports. however, are that the
warrant in this case was issued at the
same time as in the case Of Davis and
Green Golden, and that this case was con-
sidered at the same time.
1t Is reported that Governor Taylor left
Washington last night to join his family
at Louisville and that he may arrive here
tomorrow. There is said to have been
much communication by wire yesterday be-
tween here and Washington. Friends of
Governor Taylor say he is ready to meet
any charge that may have been brought
against him, but they do not want him in
generated without bail, which they say
he can give in any reasonable amount The
clerk OF the court insists that there is no
record on file of any Taylor indictment.
and all the other indictments returned yes
terday are on file in the clerks office. The
circuit judge can hold an Indictment until
the bench warrant has been served, and
such is believed to be the case in this in
stance. Current reports are generally cred
tied that the warrant even has been issued,
ready for service on the return of the Gov
ernor
Commemorative Attorney Franklin, in

room. The Indictment was read to Youtsey,
who pleaded not guilty. Motion was en-
