fore Judge CantriII This Afternoon

LOUISVILLE. KY, April So.-w. S.
Taylor. who arrived here yesterday from
Washington. went 70 Frankfort this morn
ing and demanded to know whether any
Indictments were outstanding against him.
He could get no satisfaction from the Dem
ocratic officials and will return to Wash
ington at once Ii is not probable that the
indictment will be made public for several
days. While all the officials refuse 10 dis
cuss the matter il is generally understood
that the indictment was filed with Judge
Cantrill ten days ego and is still in his
possession where II will remain till he sees
fit TO make il public.
All the morning Taylor received visitors,
most of them being prominent business
men Of this city. II is said tAst Taylor is
prepared 20 furnish bonds for any amount
Taylor admitted sending telegram TO
Commonwealth's Attorney Franklin ask
ing If he was indicted and receiving a re-
ply referring him to Judge Cantrill-
Taylor said he did not like TO discuss
the case that was before the United States
Supreme Court. but felt quite confident
that II the judges considered the matter
l
with Governor Roosevelt. former President
Harrison. and former Secretary of the
Treasury Carlisle had strengthened this
opinion While Mr.. Carlisle did not bold
as sanguine views as General Harrison,
STILL he said. the case was the strongest
Of its kind ever offered in the Supreme
Court.
Taylor said the most pleasant incident
! Of his visit 10 the East was his meeting
with Governor Roosevelt; that he wanted to
thank him personally for his kind words.
Governor Roosevelts reply was that there
we're no thanks due him. He had only
/ done what he conceived 10 be his duty and
/ IL was his great regret that he could net do
more for one of the most prosecuted men
I in the history OF the country"
/ While he would rot discuss the guber-
Material nomination in case the suit was
! lost in the Supreme Court, Taylor de-
nounced as another infamous lie" the
story that he wanted TO get ont Of Ken
/ lucky and was hopeful OF securing a mis-
sion TO some foreign country in case Presi-
dent Mckinley was reelected.
