Georgetown. KY. October 9.--One of
the most remarkable scenes ever en-
acted in a Kentucky court occurred to-
night in the trial Of Henry +. YOutsey,
charged with being q principal in the
shooting of Governor Goebel, the de-
fcndant himself being the chief par
ticipant. The court room was crowded
at the time and the excitement was in
tense. Detective Armstrong, of Louis
Vile, had just told of his talks with
Youtsey before and after his arrest.
Then Arthur GOebel was put on the
stand and Judge Ben Williams, who for
the first time appeared for the prosecu-
ton, did the questioning.
Arthur GoebeI said: Il talked with
YOutsey the day he was arrested late
in the afternoon in the Jail in Frank
fort in reference 10 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 a he; never spoke
tt word to that man in my life, nor lie
to me-"
Colonel Crawford told him to be quiet
qnd sit down, and others took hold Of
him.
a. will not sit down. I never said a
word to that man, it is untrue"
He was shouting by this time and
EVERY one was becoming excited. 9Out-
gey's wife sprang TO his side, and while
endeavOring to make him sit down,
could be heard saying: Now you have
killed my husband, [ 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 gra bbed him. He struggled
wildly and said: Let me alone-I viii
not sit down"
Arthur GOebel meanwhile sat sphinx
like in the witness chair and never
turned his head. Finally, after YOutsey
was forced into a seat, he shouted
| again:
'Goebel is not dead-ar the demons
in hell could not kill him."
"Mr Sheriff, if the defendant does
| not behave himself put hand-cuffs or
| him." said Judge CantrilI. Meanwhile
| the audience could not be forced tc
! keep their seats until the Judge tf eat
| ened to fine those who stood up. i0ut
| sew settled back in his chair closed his
eyes and seemed in a state of collapse
| He waved his handkerchief above hi
head in an aimless sort Of way ant
| groaned and cried Historically.
Finally quiet was restored and JuCS
| Williams asked Arthur GOebel anOthe
nuesti0n. when Colonel Crawford askt'
| a pOstponement Of the trial until to
| morrow Oh account of the defendant
| condition. Judge Cantrill said he coul
| not see any cause or reason for the de
PENDANTS outbreak, but in justice TO nj
| attorneys he would postpone the cas-
until Tomorrow. Mr.. Franklin said tn
| Commonwealth had not the sighteS
objection to adjOuurning until t0-mor
row and court so adjourned
YOutsey still occupied his CHAIR VII
his eyes closed, apparently in hal
fainting condition. After the crow
passed out Jailer Reed and deputl2
| carried YOutsey to the jail as ne wa
| una bic to walk.
Various reasons are assigned for nj
outbreak. the first being that his lon
| confinement and strain of the tfla
caused him to become hysterlcal an
lose control of himself. Another is tina
he is really demented, as shown by IL
remark that GOebel is not dead. ii
is being attended by physicians an
relatives at the Jail and his condition
| deemed critical.
