LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2s.-Gov.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 29.-Gov.
w. S. Taylor was in town for a while
to-day on his way to Butler county,
where a sister died yesterday. While
here the Governor made a statement
concerning his probable course in the
event that the decision of the Court of
Appeals is against him.
Governor Taylor said:
THE Court of Appeals has not yet
taken up the case and any announce
ment from me as to my actions after
their decision would be premature. The
agreement of the attorneys for both
sides. however. states specifically that
there is to be no movement until the
case is finally settled by the Supreme
Court of the United States and l think
l will act by this agreement in every
step take and not give up any of the
rights I hold by it."
FRANKFORT. KY, March 2s.-The
scene of action in hunting down the
persons suspected of completely in the
assassination of Goebel has shifted to
other points in the State, temporarily
at least. All of the detectives and
others who have ben working on the
case have gone, leaving affairs here to
be looked after by the local officers.
The arrest of '"Tallow" Dick Coombs,
the negro at Beattyville, on an old
capias from the clerk of the Circuit
Court, it is understood, may be follow
ed by a warrant charging him with
completely in the Goebel murder. The
arrest on the old capias was for the
purpose of preventing him from get
ting away in case he is wanted.
Since the detectives left last night
there have been all sorts of reports as
to whom they are after.
Governor Taylor has gone to his old
home to attend the funeral of his Sis
ter, and the other Republican State
officers. with the exception of Secre-
tary Powers, are at their homes, leav-
ing the State building in charge OF
deputies and clerks. Governor Beck
ham and all the Democratic State Off
GERS are al their offices in the Capitol
Hotel.
H. E. Youtsey, charged with COM
plicity in the murder of Goe. Goebel,
was brought before Judge Moore this
morning, but was not ready for trial
and the case was passed. He will
probably be arranged again to-mor-
row.
NEWPORT, KY, March 29.-It de-
veloped tonight that there have been
conferences here this week over some
of the warrants that are being sworn
out at Frankfort for persons in differ
ent parts of the State. Hon. John
Burke, Republican State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction. has been
here at his home most of the week.
One of the conferences was for the
purpose of preventing Prof. Burke from
returning to Frankfort. One Of his
neighbors said it was reported that all
the Republican State officers would be
arrested before the final decision of the
courts was rendered next week, and
while they were under arrest the Dem
ocratic contestants would move un.
der guard from the Capitol hotel al
Frankfort into the State buildings
Burke replied to his friends that he
would return to Frankfort Monday.
There is also much feeling here over
the arrest of Henry e. Youtsey. the
private secretary of Auditor of State
Sweeney, at Frankfort, last Tuesday
Youtsey was an attorney here before
he went to Frankfort. He is a hall
brother of l.. ]. Crawford, ex-president
of the National League of Republican
clubs.
