cheerful and gave no Indication of i'll
ness. After the luncheon he started
on a walk.
Among his acquaintance was col
Ored man to whom Warner gave books
to encourage his desire to read. He
probably intended to call on this man,
as he was in the neighbOrhood of his
house when he was stricken. Proba-
bly, feeling Ill he asked leave at
house to sit down. then to lie down,
requesting to be called in ten min
utes. When the woman of the house
went to call him he was dead. News
Of his sudden death spread rapidly and
was great shock to his many friends.

Youtsey Worse Again.
YOutsey suffered from another out
break during the night after the judge
sent the jury to Its quarters. He
Jumped from his cot. grabbed a chair,
and smashed ii against the wall. A
guard overpowered him and placed him
back upon the cot, where he lay gasp
ing and exhausted. Colonel Nelson
was not in court when the jury re-
ceived its brief final advice from Judge
Cantrill. But Youtse was there-at
least the semblance of him was pres
ent. The door of the room which has
lodged him was thrown open, and the
light streaming out showed face
framed in white coverlets. = The eyes
were closed. The wife sat by one side
of the cot. a white uniformed nurse
by the other. Mr.. Youtsey, the gray
bearded father sat inside the rail-
few yards from the doorway. The
wife and father listened intently while
the judge told the jury how its duties
lshould be performed. and then they
scanned the faces of the jurymen.

were, for these twelve men are bowed

but on this the jury was somewhat di-
vided, but finally agreed ON the life
sentence.
Motion for Arrest of Judgment.
The defense filed their motion for
an arrest of judgment and Judge
Cantrill set the motion for hearing the
second day Of the February term and
therefore Youtsey will not be SEN
fenced till next year, if then. On
the judges own motion he entered an
order to have YOutsey moved to the
Frankfort jail for safe-keeplng and
he will be taken there.
