A DIABOL|CAL PLOT
That BY Which Kentucky Repub-
Iicans Planned to Murder
Goebel.
THE TAYLOR MOUNTAIEEERS
Fugitive Governor Furnished the
Money for the ob..DetaiIs
of the Crime.

Georgetown, KY, July 19.-The
progress of the Goebel murder trial
continues to be attended by sensation
al disclosures. The prosecution yes
terday, following up the testimony.
scored some telling blows on the de-
fense. This was when William II.
Culton, cne of the indicted men, took
the stand and told of plot to kill the
claimant governor. Culton related
an alleged consultation with Henry
Youtsey, in which Youtsey explained
how Goebel could be shot from the
window of the secretary of states
office without danger of detection.
Gov. Taylor, now a refugee, was ac-
credited with furnishing money to
bring the mountain men to Frankfort.
Two republicans besides Culton
were called to give testimony against
Caleb Powers. Other than Culton,
who was a clerk in the office of the
state auditor, were tUo bankers. Cul-
ton, like Powers, is indicted as an ac-
cessorv TO the murder of Goehel.
The defense fought desperately in
an attempt to prevent Culton from
testifying. but the court held that if
he should do so of his own free will
there was nothing to prevent it. Cul-
tons testimony was at times sensa-
tional and contained damaging ac-
cusations not only against the defend
ant, but against claimant Gov. Taylor,
Henry Youtsey, and others of the
men indicted.
