YOUTSEY IS SILENT
Makes No Sign When Question.
ed In Court.
The DEFENSE Is HEARD
MOTION TO DISCHARGE TIE
JURY Is OVERRULED.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 16.-If Henry
YOutsey heard a word uttered in his
trial today for helping to kill Goebel,
he gave not the slightest indication of
it by any movement of the hands, the
head, eyes or lips.
He was the unconscious actor in an
other realistic scene this afternoon
when he was brought into the court
room proper, lying on his bed His eyes
and mouth were tightly closed and he
looked every whit a dead man. When
Colonel Nelson, his lawyer, in a loud
voice, asked him how old he was and
where he lived Youtsey gave no sign.
The defense presented some strong
testimony contradictory of the prosecu-
tion's witnesses, and said that they
have something stronger for tomorrow
when they expect to rest their case
Jim Howard will go on the stand and
swear that Youtsey did not let him IN
Powers office that morning and that he
was not even in the building
Youtsey's symptoms have been worse
today. His temperature increased and
his pulse was greatly accelerated The
physicians think he is in no immediate
danger, but a sudden change for the
worst may come at any time
Outlines the Defense.
Colonel Crawford made the statement
to the jury for the defense He said
they would prove that it is impossible
to hear in the barber shop Of the exec
utive building a person run down the
stone steps into the basement; that
YOutsey appeared outside The building
too soon after the shot was fired TO
have had anything TO do with the
shooting; that YOutsey stopped IN the
barber shop on his way out and talked
TO Attorney Short; that CulUOn and
Golden had told too many contra dlctOry
stories to be believed about anything
In closing he said the testimony of Ar
thur GoebeI was either prompted by his
Imagination or II was perjury; that
Youtsey had told the truth Tuesday
night when he said he had never
spoken to Arthur Goebel; that he
Crawford and Colonel Nelson would
swear that in a room ait the Capital
hotel Arthur GOebel had said that he
wanted TO know what Youtsey knew
about the tragedy-that. Arthur Goebel
said:
You have pig in a bag-I want to
see the pig before we trade
At the afternoon session the defense
moved to discharge the jury and con-
Cnue the case, because the defendant
was stin unconscious and IN a worse
condition than before. Judge Cantrill
overruled the motion
Youtsey Is Questioned.
The defense asked that YOutsey be
called as a witness. The deputies and
guards brought YOutsey in on his bed
and set it down in front of the jury
Colonel Nelson asked YOutSey several
questions but got no sort Of response,
the defendant lying as one dead on his
bed.
I'VE can get no response from the
witness" said Nelson
Very well, let him stand aside" said
the judge and the bed was carried back
to the jury room.
Colonel Nelson made another motion
to discharge the jury because the de-
PENDANT was not really in court facing
his accusers, but simply an unconscious
body The judge said the law provided
that before he could discharge the jury
the defendant must be adjudged q lu-
matte.
Mrs. Matte Stamper, sister OF Whar-
ton Golden. said she heard Golden say
he was to get $1,000 for his testimony,
and that he made a confession in order
TO save his neck and Governor TaylOr's-
c. 0. Reynolds, and D. B. WaIcutt Of
Frankfort, swore that. Culton told them
that he had a contract with the COM
mOnWeaIth to secure immunity.
Rev. Z. T. Cody said Golden told him
he confessed TO save himself.
