Against Him.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 10. - The
Youtsey trial began in reality yester-
day and remarkable progress was
made once the examination of wit
nesses began. The jury will be taken
to Frankfort to-day to view the scene
of the tragedy. The most important
witnesses yesterday were James Todd.
Frank Johnson. ]. b. Matthews, Louis
Smith and Wade Watts. Their testi-
mony was circumstantially strong
against Youtsey. but his attorneys are
confident of disproving any presump-

Culton and Goldman have yet to testi-
fy as TO Youtsey's talk about the steel
bullets and his receiving the key from
John Powers.

A Paris dispatch to the Post says all

replied favorably to the proposals

Lord Salisbury has as yet made no

Chicago, Oct. 10.--The prosecuting
authorities of Cook county last night
laid hands on what they regard as one
of the startling crimes of the coun-
try's history. Charges of conspiracy,
back of which are alleged insinua-
tions of murder, are lodged against
three men. These men will have to
answer allegations of a carefully laid
plot to swindle an insurance company
and two insurance societies - plot
which, 1t is said. progressed with the
growth of fear into the actual death
by poison. 1t is thought, OF the insured
person. According to the theory on
which the prosecution will proceed,
the dead person, young woman or
Chicago, was originally one OF the
quartet OF conspirators. She had ex-
pected that her death was to be
feigned. and that another dead body
was to play the passive role OF her
corpse; instead of that real death
came to her. The person whose death
adds o. new. phase TO what otherwise
would have been 81 simple insurance

ty-three years old. and the three per-
sons arrested upon bench warrents is
