uisisiOn From Governor BeeLhnm.

uisiiiOn From Governor Beekhnm.
William s Taylor. claimant FOR the
Governorship of Kentucky, who is row
under indictment as an accessory to the
murder of Governor Goebel, is believed 70
be in retirement some place in Washing
ton or the vicinity
Mr.. Taylor arrived here from frankie /
on April 10, and stopped at the Raleigh.
With him was his secretary, B. Hampton.
MIR. Taylor was alone in his room almost
the whole OF the time while there. Not
only did he refuse TO see newspapermen,
but he would see very few of the many
callers who sent up their cards. II was
announced that he was busy preparing for
the hearing OF his case before the supreme
Court Wednesday and yesterday he re-
ceived messages by the score. The wires
between him and his political FRIENDS in
Kentucky were kept hot with kilograms.
which related presumably to his probable
Indictment by the grand jury.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Taylo /,
and his secretary paid their bills and gave
up their quarters at the Raleigh. In re-
sponse TO enquiries from the clerk as TO
where mail should be forwarded Taylor
ordered it held at the hotel until called
for Then he and Hampton disappeared
Nothing more has been seen Of either
around town except for a brief appearance
OF Hampton at the hotel Jhis morning when
he called for the mail awaiting himself
and Taylor. He gave no eiew as 10 where
be and his friend were stopping.
Now Genes the interesting question as
10 what will be done when requisition pro-
ceedings are commenced TO take Taylor
back TO Kentucky to stand trial under the
Indictment. In view Of Taylor's disappear
ance, those acquainted with him do not be-
lieve that he means % go back voluntarily
during the presept heated feeling in the
State. Consequently. a requisi,ion for BIN
Is expected to issue. The requisition viii
presumably be signed by Governor Beck
ham. The Democratic successor 10 Governor
Goebel, whose claims to the gubernatorial
seat have been recognized up TO the pres
ent by the courts.
Governor Mount. of Indiana, has an
nounced his intention not to honor Cover
nor Beekham's acquisitions, as he does
not recognize the claims Of the latter for
the seat as valid
Now. should requisition for Taylor's
arrest be issued by Governor Beckham and
directed TO Chief Justice Bingham, Of the
District Supreme Court. it would become
the duty OF the latter to decide whether he
will recognize Taylor. Republican. or
Beekham. Democrat. as lawful Governor Of
Kentucky
As Governor Mount. Of Indiana, has eX-
pressed his intention Of Ignoring any re-
QUESTION issued by Governor Beekham, it
is possible that TAYLOR VIII try 10 reach
the Hoosler state as a refuge during the
difficulty. Il viii. Of course be necessary
for him TO pass through At least three 9th
er States-MaryIand- Pennsylvania, and
Ohio in getting to his haven
It would perhaps be impossible to ar
rest him on q -equisition issued and for
warded during the brief hours when he
would be IN any Of The three common
wealths. Most States. however, have a
fugitive-frOm justice law under which any
person fleeing from an Indictment or war
rant can be arrested and held By a sher-
! iff. pending the arrival OF extraditiOn pa
pers. On this basis. should Taylor now
be followed by detectives. as is supposed,
be could be arrested temporarily under
/ the fugitive from Justice law while passi 9
/ through the States to Indiana 1t woald
be only a matter OF a day CT so. then, COX
| extraditicn warrants TO be issued BY Gov
ernor Beckham and 10 be delivered 10 he
( Governor OF the State in which the ten-
| porary arrest may. be made. In that way
the arrest OF Taylor may be accompli shed
whether he remains in the District OF
| leaves for Indiana.
