CULTON'S MOTION FOR BAIL.
He Testifes rs to the Conference
With Taylor and Youtsey.

FRANKFORT. Ky. May 3.-The motion
for bail of W. H. Culton, one of the men in
dicted in connection with the Goebei mur-
der. took up the whole day in court today.
Attorney Campbell. for the prosecution, re-
newed his enquiries when Culton went on
the stand. as to Culton's knowledge of Tay-
lor's connection with the case. Asked as
TO whether he had refreshed his memory
as to the conference between Youtsey.
Taylor. and himself, Culton admitted he
bad.
How did the conference come about ?"
asked Campbell.
Well" replied Culton. "Youtsey told me
that Governor Taylor had asked him to
leave the State. | mentioned this matter
TO Taylor who denounced it a lie, and
said: Let's see Youtsey about it We
saw Youtsey. and Taylor said to him Yout
sey. you know you lied IL you said ! made
the statement that you must leave the
State. Did l ever tell you that?' No,
Youtsey said.
"Youtsey said that somebody had told
him TO do so, but he did not remember who
it was. Governor Taylor said: VIII you
so state? Youtsey replied that he would
Then Taylor said TO ME: You hear. Low.
what he says. He says in your presence
that when he is asked who told him to
leave he will state that he does not re-
member"
Culton could not remember whether this
was before or after Taylor had said he
would furnish whatever money was neces-
sary TO get Youtsey away.
The rest of the testimony was unimport-
ant.
Taylor is in Louisville. The indictmene
against him is expected to be returned on
adjournment of court next Saturday.
Judge Cantrill this afternoon notified
attorneys for persons under arrest for the
alleged Goebel conspiracy that he would
call special term of the Circuit Court at
Georgetown on July 9, when Combs. Yout-
sey, Davis. Powers, Whitaker would
lie arraigned and tried. By this time other
arrests will have been made. Hence the
prisoners will not be arraigned at George
town next Monday as has been expected.
