YoUTSEY SENT TO
PRISON FOR LIFE.
His Attorneys Issue a Statement
Declaring Him to Be a Victim
of Prejudice and Perjury.

Georgetown. KY, Feb. 5.-Henry E. Yout-
sey was arraigned before Circuit Judge
Cantrill at $40 o'clock this afternoon and
sentenced to life imprisonment.
He said: II am innocent / have been
convicted by base and Infamous suborna-
tions OF perjury"
No appeal will be taken. and the prisoner
will be taken to State Prison in a day or
two.
Attorney Stevenson, of counsel for de-
tense. gave to the press a statement from
the leading counsel In the case Immediately
after Judgment had been pronounced. The
statement reads:
''one hundred and twenty-five Jurors have
thus far been summoned to try Henry Yout-
sey. OF these l24 were Goebei Democrats.
The trial jury consisted Of twelve Goebel
Democrats Our most earnest efforts and
protests were powerless to obtain a less
partial jury. Under the conditions which
prevailed we cherish TO hope Of ever seeing
an impartial jury.
THE public has obtained an inkling of
how perjury was procured and used IN these
trials. without the knowledge Of the Judge
or commemorative attorney. New per-
turers can. and. we are convinced, WILL be
found. and thus used in future trials. The
Immense reward run0 attracts per1ufer9 and
suborners Of perjury as the flame attracts
the moth
Our client was unable to realize these
conditions and retain his reason and We
have no hope that he could do SO upon an
other such trial. We entertain no doubt
but that We could secure a reversal of the
verdict. His helpless condition during the
trial would alone suffice.
But the evils he is the victim Of and
which we are powerless against cannot be
remedied by an appeal. They remain ever
present under such conditions to thwart
justice and convict the innocent despite the
reversals and correct rulings by the courts.
We have advised our client not to further
endanger his mind and strength against
such odds. but to await the time when the
wickedness of these trials will become so
apparent to all good people that his deliver
ance Will surely come.
