Unconscious Prisoner Placed Upon Witness Stand by Courts Or
 derS and Questions Asked

Attorney C. w. Short that Culton and Golden had told too many contradictory stories to be believed about anything. In closing he Said the testimony of Ar thur Goebel was either prompted by his imagination or 1t was perjury; that Yout- sey had told the truth Saturday night when he had said that he had never spoken to Goebel That Crawford and Colonel Nel- son would swear in room at the Capital Hotel Arthur Goebel had said that he wanted to know what Youtsey knew about the tragedy; that Arthur Goebel said: You have pig in a bag. l want to see the pig before trade" Crawford closed his statement at Il o'clock and the defense was granted until 1 o'clock for consultation and court ad- journed till that time.
 Youtsey was reported worse at noon. his temperature having increased and his jaws closed so tightly that no food could be given him.
 Dramatic cene At the afternoon session the defense moved to discharge the jury and continue the case because the defendant was still unconscious and in worse condition than before. Judge Cantrill overruied the mo- tion.
 The defense asked tlgt Youtsey be called as a witness The sh4iff called but Yout- sey did not answer. The defense insisted that he be brought into court He is all ready in court. We want him on the wit ness stand, said Colonel Nelson.
 "Very well, bring him in, MT. Sheriff and put him on the stand said the judge.
 The deputies and guards brought Yout- sey on his bed and set it down in front of the jury.
 Colonel Nelson asked Youtsey several questions but got no. sort of an answer, the defendant lying as one dead on his bed.
 "We can. get no response form the wit ness" said Colonel Nelson.

Stone of Lexington, who acted as Governor Tay- lor's stenographer saw Youtsey on January 27 in the reception room next to the Gov ernors office, with a gun looking out of the window, but that 1t excited no comment, as everybody fwas excited and expected trouble.
 James Chipley of Scott County said Gull ton told him that Wharton Golden had caused all of them to get into trouble be- cause Golden wanted a part of the $l00,0OO.
 James Sinclair of Georgetown said Golden told him that Youtsey and Culton were fools for talking, as they would get nothing for talkings
