YOUTSEY IS MAD
COEBEL SUSPECT IN KEN
TUCKY DEMENTED.
CAUSES A SCENE IN COURT ROOM
Gives Lie to Arthur Goebel while Tes-
tifying-Prociaims His Innocence
Charges Enemies with Swear
ing Ills Life Away.

A Georgetown, KY, October o dis
patch says: A remarkable scene oc-
Cured tonight in the Youtsey trial,
the defendant himself being the chief
participant. The court room was
crowded at the time and the excite
meut was intense. Lee Armstrong,
the Louisville detective, had Just told
Of his talks with Youtsey, before and
after his arrest. TIL en- Arthur GOebel
was put on the stand and Judge Will
liams, who for the first time appeared
for the prosecution on, did the question
ing.
Arthur Goebel said: Il talked with
Youtsey the day he was arrested late
in the afternoon in the Jail at Frank
fort in reference to the murder of my
brother"
just at this point Youtsey arose and
in a loud voce said:
ut is untrue; its a lie: | never
spoke a word tn hat mar in my life,
nor he to me-"
Refuse to he Quiet.
Colonel Craw ford told him to be quiet
and sit down, and others took hold of
him.
~ will not sit down. l never said a
word to that man; il is untrue"
He was shouting by this time and
everyone was on the tiptoe Of excite
ment. Youtsey's wife sprang to his
side and while endcavoring to make
him sit down could be heard saying:
Now you have killed my husband.
suppose you are satisfied"
Then Toutsey shouted again:
IL am innocent; there is no blood on
my hands. The men are swearing my
life away"
Two or three deputies went over and
grabbed him. He struggled wildly
and said:
Let me alone; | will not sit down"
Finally, after Youtsey was forced
into a seat he shouted again:
"Goebel is not dead; all the demons
in hell could not kill him"
Judge Ordered Him H'adrnnsd.
MIR. Sheriff, II the defendant does
not behave himself put handouts on
him." said Judge Cantrill. Mean
while quiet was restored. Youtsey
settled back in his chair. closed his
eyes and seemed in n state of col
lapse. He waved his handkerchief
above his head and groaned and cried
Historically. After quiet was re-
stored Judge Williams asked Arthur
Goebel another question, when Colo
mel Crawford asked a postponement
OF the trial till tomorrow on account
OF the defendants condition. Judge
Cantrill then postponed the court.
After the crowd passed out Tailor
Reed and his deputies carried Yout-
sey to the Jail, as he was unable to
walk. Various reasons are assigned
for his unseemly outbreak, the first
being that his long confinement and
the strain of the trial caused him 10
lose control of himself. Another is
that he is really demented as sh own
by his remark that Goebel was not
dead. He is being attended by physi-
clans and relatives ut the Jail and his
condition is deemed critical.

1.-THE TWO NEPHEWS."

The opera house will be crowded
this Saturday night when the Chap.
man Warren Co., will produce w. w.
Lapoint S comedy drama of rural life
"The Two Nephews. Those whit
have read this work pronounce the
drama charming composition and
worthy writer of far greater expert.
ence than Mr.. Lapoint.
The plot is strong and sensational.
interspersed with natural comedy.
The story revolvcs around two well
educated nephcws of wealthy New
York capitalist who owns Il large
machine shop in Vermont village.
One of these nephews is poor but hon
est. The other rich rascal. Both
love the handsome daughter of the
mill owner, although the rich nephew
is the husband of an actress.
The plot deals with the plans Of the
william to ruin his uncle, and then save
him from poverty if the daughter will
marry him, which she consents to do.
The first act opens in hevNew~York
Office of the company, dancing in a
fashionable music hall. The second
act takes place in a Vermont grocery
store, where some of the best comedy
ever seen in Barre will be given. In
this act the audience learns about the
strike at the mill and witnesses a very
sensational close. The third act shows
the burning of the mill by the william,
and the arrest Of The Two Ncphews.
The last act is in New York where
right at last triumphs over wrong.
The comedy Of the play is carried by
a Vermont grocery merchant, an office
boy, dude, and pretty soubrette.
The production of this play is of
more than passing interest to Barre
people. 1t was written in Barre by Il
life long Barre boy who is we'll and
favorably known to everybody in the
city. He is the manager of the thea
tire, and the company takes Barre as a
starting point. Seats are now on sale
at the Red Cross pharmacy and are
selling rapidly. Any person in Barre,
whether regular theatre goer or not,
can witness production of THE Two
NephewS,' for there are no offensive
lines in this Barre comedy. Secure
your seats early.

The Granite Business BOOM
ing. Many Fine Jobs
Under Way. Quar-
ries Running to

Capacity

Since writing last week, ! find that
business is booming, much better
than expected, the only trouble being
that stock cannot be got down from
the quarries so quickly as to keep
every firm supplied. Many orders are
being make up and others are being
refused as the middlemen or whole
salers do not wish to grant the in
crease, thinking the manufacturers
can get along at the old rates. If the
small firms would amalgamate and re-
fuse to accept any job under their
price. how mnch better it would be
for them, but they will not do SO, but
will continue to 90 along and take
contracts for little or nothing, and
pay the profit to the wholesaler just
because they don't wish their neigh
Dor to get the job. This can be done
away with in another way. Let the
large firms take the contracts and
subet them, thus having only one
handto 60 through and no commission
asked, 1t is coming to a time when
the small firms who cannot afford to
place drummer on the road will
form a stock company for this purpose
and divide up the work. This is a
good idea and should be cultivated.
