CUL7ON WEAKENING.
CONFESSION ALLEGED
What Evidence Is Expected Of Him Is
as Yet Unknown TO the Public.
Youtscy Claims Prosecution
49, a., Broke Faith with Him.

Frankfort, March 2S.-There arc moro
startling developments i'll the Gocbcl
assassination case. w. II. Culton, who
waived examination and was held over
to the circuit court, went to the Capitol
hotel late yesterday whore ho was Ill
conference with tho attorneys for thr
prosecution for two hours. He was ac-
-companicd by his brothor-in-law, L. E.
Hogg, who is also his attorney.
1t was reported at the time that Gull
ton had made some kind OF confession,
but later it developed thai the inforina-
ton gained WAS not of rs sweeping a
character as it was at first reported.
Culton's friends, who arc in his conf
tlenco, state that his statement was not
i'll tho nature of confession, but they
admit that he gave the prosecution such
information as he had, and which had
not heretofore come out.
The conference between Cultou and
the attorneys took place in tho room OF
Colonel r. G.. Campbell AID there were
present besides Mossrs, Culton and
Campbell, County Attorney PolSgrovc
Rev. Mr.. Culton, father of the prisoner
and e. E. Hogg.
While this conference was going on
Henry g. Youtscy, the auditors clerk
who was arrested and locked up i'll Jail
charged with being an accessory, SEN
for Colonel Campbell und the latter Wis
tied him at the jail aud was closctcd
with him for some time. Youtsey, whel
arrested told the officer that the proscu
ton had promised not to arrest him. Il
is not known what took place at the in
terviow between Youtsey and Campbell
but it is announced that he was ready tt
make public statement which the pros
-ecution evidently did not care to have
made, ut least for thopresent.
The Democratic militia will be re
tanned here until after the April term o
court, which begins Monday, and a
which Secretary Powers and others arr
to be tried. The Youtsey arrest causct
another fluttcr of excitement and Gov
Beckham decided it was best to keep the
troops here.
