vile Railway, near London, where
he tagged the express train and
came to Frankfort, aNiving here
on the Monday morning before the

been arranged ito kill Goebel, as
told in Goldcns testimony.
The reason the Clay county men
did not kill Goebel that morning, it

had left Clay county at the same
time he did, and who were his SUI
periors in the plot, stayed in Lon
don Sunday night and did not ar
rive ut Frankfort when the marks
man did. He refused to do the kill
ing until his home county men came
and as this was not until Tuesday
morning the killing was postponed
one day.

county for several weeks workin g.
up testimony against the suspected
man. They say they have been
able to trace every movement of the
suspect from the Saturday before
tine killing until the day the deed
was done.

mating Tom Baker at Manchcs-
ter last summer while he was un-
der guard of the militia.
