Warrants Issued for Members OF
the Legislature.
LONDON, KY, Feb 9.-The following
message from Gov. Taylor was received
today by member:
Warrants issued for members of the
house and put in the hands of sergeant
alarms to serve"
The warrants were made out late to-
day and given to Sergeant-at-Arms Cecil
of the house. Lieut. Gov. Marshall tele>
graphed he would be here early. tomor-
row morning.
The morning sessions were quiet but
1t was apparent the legislators were la
boring under some excitement. The house
went into executive session Immediately
on meeting at 10 o'clock, and was still
convened when the senate met two hours
later. When the senate was called to
order the house sent in resolution ask
ing for q joint session. The message
from Gov. Taylor regarding the issuing
of the warrants was received just before
the house met. The information was
passed quickly to members, and an air
of suppressed excitement became appar-
ent. The intention of Gov. Taylor was
evident.
I'VE mean business. We have quo
rum in the house and a quorum in the
senate. We will be ready for business
on Monday. Further than that 1 have
nothing to say said member
Later the issuing of warrants caused
commotion. A list of number of MEM
bers to be brought to London had been
prepared, but whether warrants We're
issued for all of them could not be as,
certained. Five detectives have arrived
in London, and every one has been made
to keep their identity a secret Two OF
them are here in the interest of the
Democrats and three for the Republl-
cans.
Sergeant-at-Arms Cecil of the house
and Howard of the senate left after /
o'clock this Saturday morning on the
north-bound train armed with warrants
for the arrest of absent Democratic men,
bers of both houses. Late last evening
1t was generally decided by the senate
officers to make out the warrants for
the arrest of absent Democratic sena-
tors without waiting for the arrival OF
Lieut.. Gov. Marshall, and Howard and
Cecil were given the warrants. Where
the two will go is not known here, as no
tickets were purchased and they would
not tell The significant remark was
made that something would be heard to-
morrow.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. e.-The Demo-
cratic legislature met here today, having
present in each house quorum of the
total membership, Gov. Beckkam an
nounced this afternoon that he Is prepar-
ed to protect the legislature from ar
rest, and that he will do So
These developments today mark the
flrst steps towards carrying out the plans
announced Sunday last by the Democrats,
to set up new state government, that
have been taken since these plans were
interrupted by the peace negotiations
Some eommotion was caused among the
legislators this morning by reports from
London that warrants were about to be
sworn out for enough Democratic mem
bers TO make quorum of the Republican
legislature now meeting at London. When
told of this Gov. Beckham said:
No member of the legislature VINO
comes to Louisville need fear arrest.
shall not allow any member to be ar
rested"
When asked what steps were made to
prevent such arrests, should they be at
tempted, Gov. Beckham said he was fully
prepared to protect the legislature, and to
arrest any persons who interfered with
its members. Further than this he would
make no statement. 1t is known, how
ever, that since the appointment Of Gen.
Castleman as adjutant general, arrange
ments have been made to provide a de-
fensive force for the safetY-of the Demo-
cratic state officers and legislators.
SENATE AND HOUSE.
The senate today held its session in tn
council chamber, and the house in the
court room. There were twenty senators
present-one more than quorum. Bust
ness was taken up where it was dropped
at Frankfort.
Resolutions of respect for Gov Goebel
from the Texas legislature were received
and suitable response made. Resolu-
tions of respect to Gov. Goebel were then
adopted, and the senate, as further
mark Of respect, adjourned till tomorrow.
Two sessions of the house were held,
the first sho6fng no quorum. In the aft
ernoon, however, fifty-three members re-
sponded.
The death of Gov. Goebel was announc-
ed, and a committee appointed to draw up
resolutions of respect to his memory
A resolution was adopted instructing the
sergeant-at-arms TO instruct absentees to
report at once, after which the house
adjourned until tomorrow
Among the members who answered t.
their names today were a number
who had been classed as anti-Goebel men,
and who on several political issues have
voted with the Republicans.

1t was stated during the afternoon that
a guard of soldiers had been sent to all

this was denied stoutly by Gen. Collier
and Col. Williams.
Late tonight the situation was some
what changed Adjt Gen. Collier was
again called into Gov. Taylor's office
about o'clock and was in consultation
with him until late hour tonight, but
would say nothing as to what transpired.
From other and authoritative sources,
however, it was learned that decision
had finally been reached and that the
peace agreement probably would receive
the signature of Gov. Taylor inside Of
tWenty-four hours.

TAYLOR HOLDS OFF.
Has Not Signed the Louisville Com
promise Agreement


FRANKFORT, Ky, Feb. -9.-Gov. Tay-
lor did not sign the Louisville peace
agreement today. He announced, more-
over, that he had no intention of doing so
for some time, and did not know wheth-
er he would sign it at~all. On the other
hand, the Democrats were confident that
he would affiX his signature to the docu-
ment.
This has been day of conferences in
Frankfort. They were in full swing from
1920 in the morning until $50 at night,
and outwardly nothing tangible resulted
from them. The situation tonight is, to
all appearances, exactly where it was
when the peace agreement was first sub
mitted to Gov. Taylor.
On the morning train from Louisville
came the Republican attorney, David W.
Fairleigh, and Judge John W. Barr both
OF whom were members of the Louisville
conference on the Republican side. I'M
mediately on arrival Mr.. Fairleigh called
upon Senator Blackburn at the Capitol
hotel, and after a few words with him
went in company with Judge Barr and
Gen. Daniel Lindsay to the office Of Gov
Taylor. A conference was held there
from II o'clock until / o'clock, when an
adjournment was taken. q
Later in the afternoon Sam J. Roberts,
of Lexington, Internal revenue collector
for this district, came TO Frankfort In re-
sponse to q telegram from Gov. Taylor,
and was closeted with him for some time.
Shortly after o'clock Gen. Lindsay,
Judge Barr, Attorney Fairleigh and T.
i. Edelen called at the executive office
and at once went into a conference with
Gov. Taylor, conference which lasted
until $50. In the meantime Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, Attorney General j.
C. Pratt and later Adjt. Gen. Collier en-
tered the governors Office and took part
III the deliberations.
About 4:30 o'clock Gov. Taylor and Sec
retary of State Powers came out of the
governors office and held long whis-
pered conversation outside the door. Gov.
Taylor then re-entered the room, and Mr..
Powers left the building.
'cThe governor will not sign the agree
ment," said Mr.. Powers, as he walked
out the door: Further than that, howev-
er, he would say nothing.
At $50 o'clock the conference came to
a conclusion 1t was impossible to learn
the result of the protracted debate. Ev>
ery one Of those who took part in the
conference preserved a sphinx-like 81
lence In regard TO what transpired behind
the governors door, absolutely refusing
to discuss the matter in any way. From
the governors office Gen. Lindsay, Gen.
Barr, Attorney Fairlelgh and Mr.. Edeen
went at once to Gen. Lindsay's law Of
flee, where brief conference was held,
and the course of action to be pursued
discussed, and shortly after 6 O'clock
Judge Barr and Attorney Fairleigh took
the train for Louisville.
This evening Gov Taylor held long
conversation over the telephone with w.
C. P. Breckenridge, at Lexington Later
he repeated his assertion made during
the afternoon that he would not take
any action on the peace agreement for
the present

DRAMATIC INCIDENT.

Mr.. Osborne had just finished reading
the note signed Blanche" sent by Mis- J
Chesebrough to Barnet during his last
his objection, Mr.. Osborne turned, quick
as flash, towards Mrs. Molineux.
There is the woman There is the mo-
tive.' he exclaimed, in tones dramatic
because of their fierce intensity
Mr.. Battle continuing to object because
the statement had not been supported by
the evidence, Mr.. Osbornes voice again
rang out:
Let the CALLED Jade vince! I do not
blame counsel for objecting. But that
woman Is the living, concrete motive in
the Barnet case, and it is undisputed that
the man who sent those powders to Bar
net sent the poison to Cornish. I hate
to speak in this manner of this woman.
1t is shameful that Mr.. Weeks brought
these ladies to this court. when he kew
of the subject of which I must speak. 1t
is a continuation of the cowardly crime,
and shows the nature of the man who
would consent that this woman should
hear such words.
Gen. Molineux left his seat at the con-
tinuation Of this attack, leaned over the
back of his wife's chair and pattei his
daughter-in-law reassuringly on the
shoulder. Molineux never moved. In clos
ing Mr. Osborne said:
Remember the Frankenstein! Remem-
Der that he was built up of backbone and
muscle but his creator could not give
him a soul. The defendant has no soul,
or he could not laugh as he has laughed
in this court room under circumstances
that must break the hearts of his father
and mother"

DENOUNCED In COURT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY OSBORNE
NAMES MRS. MOLINEUx AS THE
MOTIVE FOR MURDER
SCENE WAS MADE DRAMATIC

Attorney for the Prisoner Vigor-
OusIy Protested Against the Argu-
ment Presented by the Prosecutor
of MOifneux-Mother and Wife of
Accused Were In Court During
the Exciting Episode.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Assistant District
Attorney Osborne tonight completed his
argument in the trial of Roland B. Moli-
neux for the murder of Mrs Katherine J.
Adams. Recorder Golf will charge the
jury tomorrow morning, and the twelve
men are expected at once to take up the
question of the guilt or innocence of the
prisoner. Whether verdict will be reach
ed tomorrow will, of course, depend upon
the ability of the jurymen to agree.
On account of the illness of Juror Mann
helm Brown, despite the immense cost
of this celebrated case, reaching as it does
into the hundreds of thousands of dollars,
it is not expected the recorder will insist
upon severe measures, or require that the
jury be locked up for any considerable
length of time, even though they should
fail to reach an agreement.
Undoubtedly the most dramatic event
of the day was the attack which Assist
ant District Attorney Osborne made upon
Mrs. Molineux, the wife of the prisoner.
The attack was unexpected since Bar
low S. Weeks, the attorney for the pris-
oner, had already characterized the mere
Introduction of evidence concerning the
fact that Molineux lived with his wife
before marriage under the assumed mama
of Mr.. Chesebrough as low, mean and
vile"
But Mr. Osborne elected to pick up the
gauge of battle thrown down before him
by the counsel for the defendant The
war was on in an instant today when Mr.
Battle, who is associated with Mr. Weeks
in the defense of Molineux objected to
Mr.. Osborne's saying that Mrs. Molineux
was the sole motive in the case; that
Molineux had been trying to marry her,
and that she had only consented to mar
ry him suddenly after Barnet, who hai
been devoted admirer, was cold In his
grave.
