THE YoUTsEY TRIAL.
Judge Cnntrill Refuses the Plea Of
the Defense for Further Com
tinuaRce OF the Case.

Georgetown, Ky, Oct. 6.-Court
convC"ed at 9 O'Clock Friday morn
ing and the Youtsey case was at
once called.
Col l.. j. Crawford announced that
a response to the summons sent TO
Breathitt county had been received,
but that there had been no word
heard from Knox county, and the de-
Tense asked for more time, but Judge
Cantrill stated that he thought ev-
cry means to obtain returns had not
been exhausted by the defense. The
commonwealth insisted on a trial
and the court ordered a jury to be
impaneled.
Refused to Qunsh Indictment.
Col. Nelson presented a motion to
quash the indictment against the
prisoner, the defense claiming ii was
invalid because a properly certified
copy had not been sent here and 9TH
er prescribed rules had not been fol-
lowed. The court overruled the mo-
ton.
An affidavit was then presented by
the defense asking for a continu-
ance.
The affidavit contained statement
as TO what the missing witnesses
from Breathitt and Knox counties
would testify. This is a denial of the
testimony of Walter Day. and states
that the case is hurt by the absence
of Taylor, Finley and others.
The first jury panel consisted of
Robert Southworth, Ed Worth, Sc
rat Triplett, Jno. T. Henry, Thomas
Allen, Alvin Brookin, V. W. Early
and Arthur Kemper, democrats; j.
y. johnson, a Brown democrat; G.

Attorney Franklin Surprised.

After the presentation of the affi-
davit the states attorneys retired for
consultation. The defense's motion
to quash the indictment came as a
bombshell, and for time il looked
as though ii would be done.
Commonwealth Attorney Frank
lin stated that the records of the
Scott circuit court failed 10 show
that an indictment was filed here,
and asked that they should be fixed
up now. \ long argument ensued,
Col. Nelson claiming the records are
not complete. also that the Judgment
for change of venue from the Frank
lin circuit court was never filed.
Judge Cantrill ruled that the irreg-
ulaFities are only technical, and that
the objections are not entitled to
consideration now. He therefore
overruled the amended motion to
quash the Indictment.
Exceptions 10 a ruling
The defense took exceptions 10 the
rulings and court recessed till p. M,

decide what parts OF the athdavitS.

missing witnesses, should be admissa-
BILE.
1t was discovered during the argu-
ment that the records were missing.
This is what surprised rhe state and
led Nelson to claim they were noti-
fed. The papers were afterward
found in the box with the Davis rec
ords. They had been |slisplaced.
