YOTSEY MAD
TRAGIC INCIDENTS IN THE GOE-
BEL MURDER CASE IN
KENTUCKY.
Man Charged With Completely in the
Crime Loses His Mind and
Becomes Violent Sensational
Scenes in the Trial Force an Ad-
iournment of the Court.

Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 10.-Henry
E. Youtsey, charged with completely
in the murder of Goebel, who broke
down yesterday during the testimony
of Arthur Goebel and made an inco-
herent and vehement denial of the
statements of the witnesses, is uncon-
scious today and Judge Cantrill was
forced to continue the hearing until
tomorrow.
Youtsey Is undoubtedly being driv-
en- insane by the testimony of the wit
nesses for the prosecution and the rul-
ings of the court, which have been
harshly against him. Every member
of the jury is a democratic partisan
and his counsel openly charge that the
court is organized to convict all of
the men now charged with the murder
before the election in November.
Says 1t is a Conspiracy.
Youtsey, who has been in delicate
health ever since his arrest, has been
recently in a morbid state of forebod-
ing and declares that he is the victim
of a conspiracy on the part of demo-
cratic hirelings, who have marked him
for sacrifice in order that the death of
Goebel shall be %revenged.
Since the beginning of his trial
Youtsey has presented a pitiable ap-
pearance in the courtroom. His pale
and face is almost CHASTITY;
he starts at every step, and his wife,
who is ever by his side, has been seen
to frequently restrain him, when, dur
ing the giving of the testimony, he
would almost lose control Of himself,
and indulge in an o%utburst. 1t was no
surprise to those who were cognizant
of his condition when on yesterday he
broke the bounds of s~elf-control and
gave vent to his pent-up feelings. 1t
came during the testimony of Arthur
Goebel, who has, with ~sleepless ener-
gy, pursued the alleged murderers of
his brother. He has been the back
bone of the prosecution and his bitter
ness knows no bounds. In his testi-
mony he stated hat he had talked
with Youtsey, on the day of his arrest,
about the murder Of his brother. AS
he uttered the words Youtsey was on
his feet shouting:
Youtsey's Outburst in Court.
1T is untrue-it is a lie-I never
spoke a word to that man in my life,
nor he to me-"
Colonel Crawford told him to be
quiet and sit down, and others took
hold of him.
II will not sit down. l never said
a word to that man-it is untrue
Y%outsey's wife sprang to his side,
and while endeavoring to quiet him
could be heard saying: you have
killed my husband. l suppose you are
satisfied"
Then Youtsey vehemently shouted
again:
lii liz 10 liz ploou
on my hands; these men are swearing
my life away"
Two or three deputy sheriffs went
over and grabbed him. He struggled
wildly and said:
Let me alone. I will not sit down"
Arthur Goebel. meanwhile, sat

never turned his head. Finally, after
Youtsey was forced into a seat, he
shouted again.
"Goebel in not dead-all the de-
mons in hell could not kill him.
"Mr. Sheriff, if the defendant does
not behave himself, put handouts on
him." said Judge Cantrill. Meanwhile
the audience could not be forced to
keep their seats until the judge threat
ened to fine those who stood up. Yout-
sey settled back in his chair, closed
his eyes and seemed in a state of col
lapse. He waved his handkerchief
above his head in an aimless sort of
way, and groaned and cried hysteri-
cally.
The jailor stated to the court this
morning that Youtsey was not able to
be brought into the courtroom. Colo
mel Crawford then stated that a ply
| stefan had been called to see Youtsey
last night, and found the defendant
violent.
