Golden al Lexington.

LEXINGTON, KY, March 2O.-Ser-
geant F. Wharton Golden, the man who
IS alleged to have made discriminating
statements in the Goebel murder case,
arrived here in company with his attor-
ney, Smith Hayes, Tonight shortly after
Z o'clock, They came from Winchester
Their movements have been kept in the
dark and their presence was not known
until seven hours after their arrival.
They did not register at the hotel, but 1t
Is said Golden went through the rear
door and subsequently to his room in
the hotel. A still more probable story
Is that they were met by a carriage
and driven to the home OF a Goebel
Democrat in the North End, AS the
hotel clerk knew nothing OF their ar
rival efforts 10 find Golden proved tu-
tile. Many rumors are In the air. One
is that he is trying to get away from
Goebel influences, but he Is closely
watched. Another report is that he is
here for a further conference with Goe-
bel attorneys tomorrow.

THE KENTUCKY SQUABBLE

Enlivened by Reports as 70 the IEan
Whom Sergeant Golden Charges as
the Assassin Of Goebel-said to 30
a Mulatto Now Hiding In the
Mountains-His Name Said to
Have Been Dlvulged to the Attor-
neys.
LOUISVILLE, KY March 2O.-The
stories growing out Of the conference
between Sergeant F. Wharton Golden.
Of the Barbourvllle company OF state
militia, and the attorneys who are
managing the investigation Of the as
sasslnatlon of Governor Goebel, have
caused a sensation throughout the
state. Golden will Be placed on the
stand by the prosecution in the trial.of
the persons already arrested for COM
plicity in the assassination, but infor-
nation MS to the exact nature of the
testimony he is expected to give is lack
ing, Attorneys Campbell and Polls
grove naturally decline to discuss the
matter and Golden himself viii say
nothing.
Specials from Winchester say Golden
is still at that place, in company with
his attorney. The two spend most of
the time about the hotel. They see all
callers, however. and talk freely on all
subjects except that of Golden's re-
ported confession.
ST will do all can for my friends all
the time" Golden is reported as say
ing, but must first be true to myself.
When the time comes I win tell all I
know. Whatever else may be said
about me. 1 do not think can be ac-
cused Of being a liar, a coward or a
Democrat. and want it distinctly un-
derstood that 1 am not here under
guard"
The story is publinhed that Golden
has divulged to the attorneys the name
of the man who fired the shots that
killed Goebel. The person mentioned is
mulatto who formerly lived ut Wins
chester. was prominent In the French
Eversole feud, and is known as dead
shot. This man is now supposed to be
in the wllds of one OF the mountain
counties. The evidence that he was in
Frankfort at the time of the assassina-
tlon was found among papers taken
from W. P. culton. clerk in the audi
tors office, when the latter was arrest
ed q week or so ago, on warrant,
charging him with being an accessory
to the murder. Among these papers
were receipts for board bills, amount-
ing to about $500, incurred by eighteen
men who were in Frankfort for some
time before and at the time Governor
Goebel was shot. In one of these re-
ceipts the name of the mulatto mem
toned is given. The receipt in this
case is for money received from John
Perkins, by Bettlna Pittman for the
hoard Of three mens Perkins Is por-.
ter about the state house.

ably be supported in his contention by
two other Democratic senators, who, as
recently telegraphed from here, were
induced" to make speeches against
