 On January 25, the day the crowd of mountain men were here, he saw MT. Bradley in conversation with a man. He could not hear what the first party said, but heard Bradley say: Tt is a damnable outrage If anything of that kind occurs I will go with Goebel into the state house myself" Bradley then told him that he had been told three men were waiting to kill Goebel as he entered the yard. Brad ley and Yost then hunted up Charles Fin ley and others and told them what they had heard. Finley said nothing of the sort was intended or would occur.
 After the shooting Judge Yost said on one accession, Ripley complained Of an fndignfty he had received at the hands of Taylor and Ripley also related to him the conversation with Taylor related by Governor Bradley yesterday in which Taylor had told him that Goebel would not live twenty-four hours longer. Judge Yost said he advised Ripley against re- beating the statement.
