VERY DRAMATIC SCENE
When Arthur Goebel Took the Stand
Youtsey Acted Like Mad.
The Prisoner BattIed With the Of
6eers and Was Carried to His
CelI-The Court Adjourned
Until Wednesday.

Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 1O.-One of
the most remarkable scenes ever en-
acted in a Kentucky court room took
place Tuesday night in the Youtsey
trial, with the defendant himself as
the chief participant. The court room
was crowded to the walls with George
towns best people at the time and the
excitement was intense beyond de-
scription. Dee Armstrong, the Lou
isville detective, had jugs told of his
talks with Youtsey before and after
his arrest. Then Arthur Goebel was
put on the stand and Judge Ben Will
liams, who for the first time appear
ed for the prosecution, did the ques-
tioning.
Arthur Goebel said: 81 talked with
Youtsey the day he was arrested late
in the afternoon in the Jail in Frank
fort in reference to the murder of my
brother"
Just at this point Youtsey arose be-
hind his attorneys and in a loud voice
said: 1T is untrue-it is lie-I new
q SPOAC a NOlu ~ ll1db lndn III lily
life, nor he to me-
Col Crawford told him to be quiet
and sit down and others took hold of
him. Il will not sit down. 1 never
said a word to that man-it is I'M
true" He was shouting by this time
and every one was on their tiptoes
Of excitement. YOutsey's wife sprang
to his side and while endeavoring to
make him sit down could be heard
saying: Nov you have killed my
husband l suppose you are satisfied.
Then Youtsey Historically shouted
again: Il am innocent-there is no
blood on my hands-these men are
swearing my life away" Two or three
deputy sheriffs went over and grabbed
him. He struggled wildly and said:
Let me alone-I will not sit down.
Arthur Goebel meanwhile sat Sphinx
like in the witness chair and never
turned his head either way. Finally
he shouted again: ''Goebel is not
dead-all the demons in hell could not
kill him."
Mr. Sheriff, if the defendant does
not behave himself, put handouts on
him" said Judge Cantrill. Meanwhile
the audience could not be forced to
keep their seats and until the Judge
threatened to fine those who stood up.
Youtsey settled back in his chair,
closed his eyes and seemed in a state
Of collapse. He waved his handker-
chief above his head in an aimless sort
of way and groaned and cried hyster-
ically. Finally quiet was restored and
Judge Williams asked Arthur Goebel
another question, when Col. Crawford
arose and asked a postponement of the
trial till Wednesday on account of the
defendants condition. The request
was granted and court adjourned
Youtsey still occupied his chair,
with eyes closed, apparently in a half
fainting condition. After the crowd
passed out Jailer Reed and deputies
carried Youtsey to the Jail as he was
unable to walk. Various reasons are
assigned for his unseemly break, the
first being that his long confinement
and strain of the trial caused him to
become historical and lose control of
himself. Another is that he is really
demented as shown by his remark
that Goebel is not dead. He is being
attended by physicians and relatives
at the Jail and his condition is deemed
critical.
Georgetown, KY, Oct. 11.-Henry
VOufcav hoe ra,,oo;Da6 n, a oo,,,o +o-a
condition all day, whether that is due
to the opiates administered to quiet
him Tuesday night can not be ascer-
tanned. He has answered no questions
addressed to him by his nearest rela-
tives and physicians, but once or twice
during the day he held up his hands
and exclaimed, ''There is no blood on
my hanAs-there is no mans blood on
my hands,"
He has kept his eyes closed all day
and they are still slightly crossed as
if drawn and set by the CONFUSION he
had Tuesday.
The only nourishment which he has
taken was a glass of milk which was
almost forced down his throat by the
physicians. DR.. Carrick says he is an
extremely critical condition, which
may take a sudden change for the
better or worse any moment and if
for the worse Youtsey will be perma-
nently insane. He has not been ta-
ken to the jury room in the court
house yet, as directed by Judge Can
trill Wednesday morning, but may be
taken there SOME time Thursday if
there is no change for the worse in
his condition.
