TRIAL Of HOWARD
AT FRANKIE ORT, KY.
Further Cross Examination
of Henry Youtsey.
STAR WITNESS IN TIE TRIAL.
Tells Where He Was When Fatal Shot
Was Fired-Denies Certain State
ments Made to General Leads Prior
to Shooting Regarding GoebeI.

Frankfort, Ky, April 21-Henry
Youtsey was called for further cross
examination in the trial Of James How
ard today. Youtsey was asked if he
did not refuse to tell Assistant Audi
tor Frank Johnson where he was when
Goebel was shot. He said Johnson
asked the question and he told John
son he was in safe place Johnson
said that was not sufficiently definite
as the detectives had called for par
ticular data as to where all employees
of the office were when the shot was
fired. Youtsey then told him he was
in the toilet room in the basement of
the executive building. Youtsey de-
MED that he had ever told General a.
Leads, prior to the shooting, that Goe-
bel once beat him out of a fee and
that he despised him. He admitted
that he told r. H. Witherspoon and
other relatives that the newspaper re-
ports that he had named jim Howard
as the man who fired the shot, were
without foundation.
ut was my defense at that time, -
said Youtsey, that Howard and me
were strangers and l told everybody l
had never seen Howard till we met in
jail"
Further along in the Interrogation
Youtsey declared that from and after
the shooting of Goebel all of the others
engaged in the killing conspired to-
gether to clear themselves and throw
the entire responsibility of the crime
upon him"
Responding to questions as to nego-
tiations with DR.. Johnson to kill Goe-
bel, Youtsey said he went to see SEN
ator Deboe, and told him Johnson and
others were willing to do it, Sena-
tor Deboe, according to witness, re-
piled that enough Democrats were 60
ing to vote with Taylor to retain him
in office and it would not be necessary
to kill Goebel. Deboe said it must
not be done. Witness went back and
told Johnson what Deboe said. John
son told him not to pay any attention
to Deboe but to go and see what Gov
ernor Taylor said about it. He went
to see Taylor and told him what John
son said, and Taylor raised no objec-
ton to the plan of shooting from the
secretary of states Office.

CLAIM UNJUST DISCRIMINATION.
Coal Carrying Roads Charged With
Violating Interstate Law.


New York, April 21.-The inter.
state commerce commission sat in this
city today to consider the complaint
of William r. Hearst that certain
coal carrying roads are violating the
interstate commerce law. The de.
fendant roads are the philadelphia
and Reading, the Lehigh Valley, the
Central of New Jersey, the New York,
Susquehanna and Western, the Erie,
the Ontario and Western, the Della
ware and Hudson, the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore and Ohio.
The specific complaints of Mr..
Hearst are that the roads charge un-
reasonable rates; that they unjustly
discriminate nfayor of the bituminous
against the anthracite coal companies
and that they have contrived, in viola
ton of the anti-pooling section of the
interstate commerce law, to discrimi-
nate against the Independent coal min.
ing companies in favor Of the compa-
MES controlled by the railroads.
The commission is also to consider
while here the old case of the com
plant Of the Texas Cattle Raisers' as
sociatiOn and the Chicago Ave Stock
association against the Chicago local
transfer tax which calls for the pay
ment of 81 per car for cattle trans
terred from the termini of the western
railroads into the Chicago Union stock
yards. At the first hearing on that
suJect the commission ordered a re-
duction of from 50 to 81 per car.
That ruling was submitted to the Unit
ed States supreme court which sent
the whole csse back to the interstate
commerce commission for more evi-
dence.
None of the railroads were repre-
Sented when the commission convened.
