THE MURDER or COEBBL.
Sensational Testimony of Ex-G Gov

ADMITS A MURDER CONSPIRACY.

He Believes That Captain Ripley,
Who Is Now ON Trial, Had No Con-

dence Against Ripley Ruled Out.
Frankfort. KY, April lex Cover
nor W. o. Bradley, chief counsel for
Ex-Governor w. S. Taylor in the guber-
Material contest case before the leg
islature last year, gave sensational tes-
timony yesterday in the trial of Capt.
Garnett D. Ripley, who is charged with
conspiracy, with others, to bring about
the murder of William Goebel. Mr..
Bradley detailed a conversation which,
he said, he had with Capt. Ripley while
the latter was in charge of his military
company during the occupancy of the
state capital by the Taylor troops last
spring, in which Ripley told him of
frequent conferences with Governor
Taylor prior to the assassination. The
witness said Ripley told him he was
in the executive office the day before
the shooting and complained to Taylor
because he had not called out his Grip
ley's) company, and asked him when
he should have the company ready
Taylor replied: "My God, haven't you
brought them yet? Goebel will not live
"a hours or cannot live "a hours"
II have forgotten which he said," de-
clared the witness.
Judge w. H. Yost, associate counsel
with Bradley in the contest case, ac-
cording to the witness, was present,
and heard the conversation. In re-

A recent report to the State Department
tells dreadful story of wholesale suicide
of women in China. When a Chinese
matron is wronged by white man she
notifies her own family and that of her
husband, at the same time announcing that
on certain date she will depart this life.
No remonstrance is made, and invariably
the woman carries out her plan. If she
did not commit suicide she would be
ostraeised by her people and compelled to
change her mode of life entirely.
The fate of the unmarried women who
are mistreated by the soldiers is only a little
different In some cases, it is reported,
they are killed by their relatives instead of
committing suicide, but this is only form
of sef-destruction, as they are entirely
passive in the hands of their friends.
So extensive have been the crimes of the
white soldiers that in many villages and
small towns women have practically dis
appeared.
1t is reported in this State Department
document that in many villages it is diff
fculty to find a female person between the
ages of ten years and fifty.
When the matrons do not announce that
they will depart this life the suggestion to
do SO comes from the husband, and it is
said to be rarely evaded.
Press Despatch.
1t is to be asked if the history of the
world ever presented so terrible picture
of the results of a war inaugurated, puta-
lively at least, in behalf of civilization and
religion
That this picture is not overdrawn is
evidenced by the fragments Of similar
reports which have been allowed from time
to time to leak through the press censor.
That it is as disgraceful to all participants
as it is graceful to all observers goes with
out saying. From the beginning the
Chinese war was war of greed; starting
with national greed, it has degenerated
into rapine and lust, until it has become
stain upon christianity and disgrace to
humanity. True American.
