POINTED TO TAYLOR
More Sensational Evidence Given
By W, H. Culton.
III duplicates KENTUCKY GOVERNOR
money Was Authorized to BE Paid 70
Houtsey TO Got Him Out
Of tho State

". II. Culton, clerk of Auditor of
State Sweeney, resumed his testi-
mony at Frankfort, Ky, Thursday in
the hearing Of motion for bail, which
began Wednesday afternoon.
He stated that Governor Taylor au-
thorized the witness to give Youtsey
any amount of money desired if he
would leave Kentucky.
AT a conference, in Lexington. the
Sunday before Governor Goebel was
shot, 1t was decided that Representa-
tive Henry Berry, who had been un-
seated few days before, should 20 to
the house Of representatives next
morning and take his seat aud refuse
to give it up.
NanMeter, his opponent was to be
IN some way prevented from going to
the hail that morning. Caleb Powers,
who was at the conference telephoned
70 Governor Taylor at Frankfort two
or three times in regard to the confer
ence.
On cross-examination Culton said he
did not know of any list of senators or
representatives who were to be put
out OF the way. On redirect exami-
nation Culton said Sergeant.at-Arms
Haley signed the subpoenas for wit
nesses for Governor Taylor, to testify
before the gubernatorial contest com
mlttee and authorized Culton to depu-
the good men in the various counties
to serve them.
Culton said he did not know where
Powers or Youtsey were when the shot
that killed Goebel was fred. During
the last talk he had with Youtsey the
latter said the plan to kill Goebel had
been abandoned. Culton had been
asked by Taylor to ascertain what the
witnesses in the contest knew, because
he was a lawyer. To the prosecution
Culton said he had told more now on
the stand than he had to any person
except his father.
d. M. WOodson, the civil engineer
who made the measurements in the
statehouse yards, exhibited q map
showing the yard and buildings, trees
and other things and the streets ada
cent. The bullet which was cut out
spf blackberry tree near where Goebel
fell, and which is supposed to have
passed through his body, was pro-
duced in court. 1t has been in the
custody of the prosecuting attorney.
The demonstrations on the map,
made by the witnesses, were for the
purpose of showing that the shot was
fired from window in the Office of
the secretary of state.
The most important testimony
bought out Thursday afternoon was
that of the two physicians who assist
ed in the autopsy on the body of Gov.
ernor GOebel. This had never been
made public before. DR.. T. R.WeIch,
of Jessamine county, a state senator,
who was also one of Goebels phys
1cians, conducted the autopsy, assisted
by Drs. E. E. Hume and J. r. Ely.
DR.. WEIGH gave a long technical
statement about the bullet entering
the right side and passing out on the
left side. DR.. Ely corroborated DR..
WEIGH.
Judge Cantrill announced that as
counsel had failed to agree as to date
for the trials of Secretary of State
Powers, Youtsey, Whitaker, Davis
and Combs, venued to Scott county,
he would call special term OF the
court in that county, to begin the Sec
ond Monday IN July. Judge Cantrill
said that on the first day of the special
term all of the cases transferred will
be called and assigned hearing, but
that it will doubtless be impossible TO
finish up more than one or two of
them during the term. The assassina-
ton cases, all told, in the opinion of
the lawyers, win string out during the
greater part of the next twelve months.
