Frankfort. Ky. Feb. 22.-Lawyers
for Gov. Taylor and Gov. Beckham
have agreed upon judicial solution OF
the Kentucky crisis. The various SUITS
for injunction brought by both sides
are to be combined and taken before
Judge Emmett Field of the jefferson
county circuit court. He voted for
Goebel, but is regarded as the severest
and most scrupulous Judge in the
! state.
The lawyers signed the agreement at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t is
stipulated that Thursday is to be the
final day for filing pleadlngs, and that
the hearing Will be held within 10 days
thereafter. Immed ately after Judge
Field gives his decision, an appeal will
! be taken 10 the court Of appeals.
The Democrats are not pleased with
the agreement. Most OF them tn nix
the unihcation of the cases and the pro-
visional appeal TO the highest court OF
the state Will prove advantageous to
Taylor in taking a final appeal To the
Supreme court of the United States.
