Georgotown, ny. Oct. lO.-One OF
most remarkable scenes ever enacted In

night In the Youtsey trial, the defendant
himself being the chief participant The
courtroom was crowded ut the time and
the excitement was intense. Dee Arm.
strong, the Louisville detective. had
just told Of his talks with Youtsey be-
fore and after his arrest. Then Arthur
Goebel was put on the stand. and Judge
Williams, who for the first time ap.
peared for the prosecution. did the
questioning. Arthur Goebel said:
II talked with Youtsey the day he
was arrested. late in the afternoon. in
the Jail in Frankfort. in reference to the
murder Of my brother"
Just at this point. Youtsey arose b..
hind his attorneys. and in loud voioe
said:
1T Is untrue. II Is a lie. | never
spoke n word 10 that man in my life,
nor he 20 me-"
Colonel Crawford told him to be quiet
and dt down, and others took hold Of
him.
IL will not sit down. never said u
word 20 that man. II Is untrue"
He was shouting by this time. and
every one was on the tiptoo Of excite.
ment Youtsey's wife sprang 10 his
side. and while endoavoring TO make
him sit down. could be heard saying:
Now you have killed my husband. |
suppose You are satisfied"
Then Youtsey Historically shouted;
II am innocent There is no blood 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. will not sic down.
4 Arthur Goebel meanwhile. "a,
sphynN.like in the witness chair and
never turned his head. Finally, after
Youtsey was forced into a seat ho shout
ed again:
"Goebel Is not dead. All the demons
In hell could not kill hlm!"
"Mr Sheriff. II the defendant doe
not behave himself. put handouts on
him. snil Judge Cantrill.
Meanwhile the audience could not b,
forced 70 keep their seats until the court
threatened 20 fine those who stood up
Youtsey settled back in his chair
closed his eyes and seemed in q state o
collapse. He waved his handkerchie
above his head In an aimless sort Of wal
, and groaned and cried Historically.
Finally, quiet was restortI and Judg
Williams asked Arthur Goobcl another
question. when Colonel Crawford aske,
Il postponement Of the trial until TO-DAY
ON account Of the defendants condition
Judge Cantrill said he could see N
reason for the defendants outbreak, bu
in justice TO his attorneys he would post
pone the case as requested.
Youtsey still occupied his chair, wit
his eyes closed, apparently in hal
fainting condition. After the crow
passed out, Jailer Reed and deputie
carried Youtsey 10 the Jail as he was vi
able 20 walk.
Various reasons are assigned for hi
unseemly outbreak. the first being this
his long confinement and strain Of oh
trial caused him 20 become hysteric,
and lose control Of himself. Another
that he is really demented, as shown b
his remark that Goebcl was not dca,
He is being attended by physicians an
relatives at the Jail and his condition
deemed critical
