Col Tom c. Campbell stated today rha;
( Henry E Youtsey had made fuL CON
fession 10 him Mr. Campbell claims that
loutsey said that ou Friday before tie
assassination Of Goebel. he held a confer
ence with Taylor at the Governors Man
sion He told in detail what he declared
passed between them. He said be told
Taylor that be had come there with a mes
sage from two negroes. They had asked
him. because he acted as TaylOr's stenog-
rapncr. to say TO Taylor that they we're
ready TO kill GOebel. YOutsey said Taylor
objected TO having anything to do with the
negroes.
On the following Saturday. Youtsey said
he again met Taylor "a, the Mansion and
told him that ". z. Johnson. a Jackson
county doctor. would put Goebal Out OF
The way. This is The same johnson whom
Cu-tcu accused Of Offering TO shave on his
mus,acha and 10 90 10 Co-beIs room in
the Capitol Hotel and blow him up with

Of the plan 10 Kill Goebel and advised
dropping IL. Johnson then went home and
soon died. Taylor denounces these z,ate-
ments as lies
The gubsrnstorial muidie viii be trans
ferred from the State tribunals TO the Su-
preme Court Of the United States with
cut delay. The decision Cf ,he Court O.
Appeals yesterday has 10. made the least
change IA The plans of the Republicans.
The attempt 20 forCibly take possession
or the State buildings iu violation OF rhe
agreement Of his attorneys with the a,tur-
reys Of TAYLOR was not made By Governor
Beckham. when the Court Of Appeals de-
dicJed by Goehelite organs that Beckham
would be so bold as 10 send a mob Of armed
men 10 the State House 20 take the Off
from Taylor. II Reckham had any intention
Of doing this. he has not made il known
tOI there was not even a quiver when the
Court of Appeals acted. Matters viii re-
main in sIatu quo until the Supreme Court
decides
The motion FOR the writ Of error VIII
probably be made today before Chief jus
tice Hazelrigg. According TO precedent
the appeal viii doubtless be granted with
out delay. The record must be copied here

at Washington. Taylor and Marshall viii
