FRANKFORT, KY, March 29.-Thoro

i'll connection with the men held OH the
charge of being accessory to the murder
of the late Senator Goebel.
Though the prosecution claims to have
some strong evidence against the man
Youtz, arrested by Detective Armstrong
yesterday, the nature of it is not dis
closed, and instead Of making confes-
sion as he is reported to have done yes
terday, it is admitted he has told moth
lug and he stoutly maintains that he had
no knowledge of the assassination, ex-
cept such as the public knows, and that
he has from the first stood ready to tell
about everything he saw around the ox-
ecutivc building the day Of the shooting.
The friends of Youtz deny that the
statements which he made to the attor-
neys for the prosecution are as incrimi-
mating and full of details Us they have
