His Bed as One Who
Lis Dead.

GEORGETOWN, KY, Oct. 16.-If
Henry Yoatsey heard a word uttered In
his trial today, he gave not the slightest
Indication of 1t by any movement of the
hands, the head, eyes or lips. So far as
any one in the court room could tell, he
never uttered word all day.
He was the unconscious actor in
another realistic scene this afternoon
when he was brought into the court room
proper lying on his bed. His eyes and
mouth were tightly closed and he looked
every whit a dead man, while Col Mel
son, in a loud voice, asked him how old
he was and where he lived
The defense presented some strong tes-
timony contradictory Of the prosecution
witnesses and say they have something
stronger for tomorrow when they expect
to rest their case. Jim Howard will go
on the stand and swear Youtsey did not
let him In Powers Office that morning
and he was not even in the building.
Youtsey's symptoms have been worse
today His temperature increased and
his pulse was greatly cuickened. The
physicians think he is In no immedia te
danger, but a sudden change for the
worse may come at any time.
CASE OF THE DEFENSE.
Jim Howard, who will be taken to
Georgetown tomorrow TO testify In the
Youtsey case, was visited today at Frank
fort by n. II. Witherspoen. Youtsey's s
brother-in-law, and Attorneys Owens and
Finnen. They held q long conference
with Howard
In the trial today Wharton Golden was
sworn and testified that he never told
Rev. John Stamper or Mrs stanlper that
he was 10 get 900 for his testimony, or
that if he could see Col. Campbell, he
could get $1e,000. Continuing, he testified
as in Powers and Howard trials, deny
Ing all the statements attributed TO him
hy- the StaInpers, l.. T. Sinclair and
others.
8 II. Chiffon was rec.sl.sd and Denied
saying he had q contract feIs1 iTnlIlfiity
or had teld any cue that Wharton 5Goftl-
en- .got them all in this trouble.s ATiIals.
NJ. Gtebef. recalled said she had never
testified in any of these cases until yes
terday.
Col Crawford made the statement to
the jury for The defense. He said the
testimony of Arthur Goebel was either
prompted by his imagination or it was
perjury and that Youtsey had told the
truth Tuesday light when he said he had
never spoken to Arthur Goebel. A re.
cess WAS then taken until 1 p. IN.
AT the afternoon session the defense
moved to discharge the jury and con-
tinue the case, because the defendant
was still unconscious and in a worse con-
dition than before Judge Cantrill over
ruled the motion.
CALLED YOuTSEY AS A WITNESS
The defense asked that Youtsey be
called as q witness. The sheriff called
but Youtsey did not answer. The de-
fense asked that he be brought into
court.
"He Is already in court" said the
Va mt i'm on he wit
stand" said Col. Nelson. VERY well,
bring him in, MIR. Sheriff, and put him on
the stand" said the judge.
Deputies and guards brought him IN on
his bed, which they placed in front of the
jury. Col. Nelson asked Youtsey some
questions, but got no sort of reply, the
defendant lying as one dead on his bed.
I'VE can get no response from the wit
ness" said Nelson. Very WELL let him
stand aside said the Judge, and the
bed was taken away Col. Nelson made
another motion to discharge the jury, be-
cause the defendant was not really in
court facing his accusers but sdlnply an
unconscious body. The judge said that
the law provided that before he could
discharge the jury the defendant must
be adjudged a lunatic.
OTHER TESTIMONY.
Mrs. Matte Stanper, sister Of Whar-
ton Golden, said she heard Golden say
he was to get $1,000 for his testimony,
and that he made q confession In order
to save his neck and Gov Taylors. c.
o. Reynolds and d. B. Walcutt, of
Frankfort, swore that Culton told them
that he had a contract with the COM
monwealth to secure immunity Porter
Thompson, Sr. and Porter Thompson, Jr.
said they walked through the hall of the
executive building a few minutes before
the shooting, but saw no men In the hall
John Davis one of those indicted with
Cu1ton, corroborated the Thompsons
Rev 2. T. Cody said Golden told him
he confessed to save himself. Stewart
Stone of Lexington, who acted as Gov
Taylors stenographer, saw Youtsey on
January q in the room next to the gov
ernor's office with gun looking out of
the window, but that 1t excited no COM
ment because everybody was excited and
expected trouble.
James Chipley of Scott county said
Culton told him that Wharton Golden
had caused all of them to get into trou-
BILE. because Golden wanted part of the
100000. l.. F. Sinclair of Georgetown
said Golden told him that Youtsey and
Culton were fools for talking as they
would get nothing for talking Court ad-
