GOEBEL MURDER Trial.

Brother of the Murdered Man Called a
Liar by Youtsey, the Accused-Lattex
shows Signs of Insanity Declares
GoebeI is Not Dead and That All the
Demons In He'll Could Not XIII Him.
Georgetown KY, Oct. 9.-One OF the
most remarkable scenes ever enacted In
| a Kentucky court occurred tonight in
the trial of Henry #. Youtsey, charged
with being principal in the shooting
of Governor Goebel, defendant himself
being the chief participant. The court
room was crowded at the time and the
excitement was intense. d. E. 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
Ben Williams, who for the first time
appeared for the prosecution, did the
question.
Arthur Goebel said: II talked with
Youtaey the day he was arrested, late
In the afternoon, in the Jail in Frank
fort in reference to the murder Of my
brother"
Just at this point Youtsey arose be-
hind his attorneys and in a loud voice
said ut is untrue; 1t is lie; l 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 9th
ers took hold of him. II will not sit
down. 1 never said word to that man
it Is untrue"
He was shouting by this time and
everyone was becoming excited. Yout-
sey's wife sprang to his side and while
endeavoring to make him sit down
could be heard saying: Now you have
killed my husband I suppose you are
satisfied"
Then Youtsey hystericallyN shouted
again: IT 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-I will
not cit down" Arthur Goebel mean
while sat sphynx-like in the witness
chair and never turned his head. Fin
ally after Youtsey was forced into a
seat he shouted again: "Goebel is not
dead, all the demons in hell could not
kill him"
Mr.. Sheriff, If the defendant does
not behave himself put handcuffs on
him." said Judge Cantrlll
Meanwhile the audience could not be
forced to keep their eeats until the
judge Threatened to fine those who
stood up. Youtsey settled back in his
chair, closed his eyes and seemed In
state of collapse. He waved his hand
kerchief above his head in an aimless
sort of way and groaned and cried
hyst erically Finally quiet wac re-
stored and Judge Williams asked
Arthur Goebel another question when
Colonel Crawford asked a postpone
ment of the trial until tomorrow on
accoutn of the defendants condition. |
Judge Cantrill said he could see no
cause for the defendants outbreak, but /
in justice to the attorneys he would
postpone the case until Tomorrow
Mr.. Franklin said the prosecution had
not the slightest objection of adjourn
ing until tomorrow and court ad-
1ourned.
Youteey still occupied his chair, with
his eyes closed and in q half fainting
condition. After the crowd passed ont I
Sheriff Reid and his deputies carried
Youtsey to Jail, as he was unable 70
walk.
Various reasons are assigned Cor his
the first being that his long
confinement and strain Of the trial
caused him to become hysterical and
lose control OF himself. Another is
that he is really demented as shown by
his remark that Goebel was not dead.
He is being attended by physicians and
relatives at the jail and his condition ;s
deemed critical. 3.
