A DENIAL BY COL. NELSON.
Strong Testimony For Youtsey. The Prisoners
Condition Worse
(By the Associated Press.)

Georgetown. Ky. Oct. 1.-THE defense
in the Youtsey trial closed it's case late
this afternoon, and the commonwealth be-
gan its rebuttal testimony, which will
likely be concluded at noon tomorrow.
Youtsey's condition was materially i'm
proved today, though he still remains in
a stupor mcst of the time.
The feature of the daY was the testi-
mony Of Colonel Nelson. one of Youtsey's
attorneys who denied that he had told
Arthur GoebeI and Colonel Campbell that
"Youtsey knew enough to hang Governor
Taylor" but he admitted that he did say
his client (Youtsey) knew something
that would be very beneficial to the COM
monwealth in its prosecution of Taylor"
The defense got in some strong testi-
mony today, squarely contradicting the
States witnesses.
Jim Howard testified that he was the
same Howard who was recently tried and
convicted for the murder of William
Goebel; that he never saw Youtsey in his
life to know him: never had any talk
with him at any time. nor did he accom-
pany him to any place or room anywhere
at any time that he was not in Caleb
Powers office on the morning of Janu-
ary 90th, or in any other room in that
building On that morning.
