Judge Cantrill Gives the Law to
the Jury in the Howard Case
Mrs. Youtsey Wanted to Tell What
She Knew, But Was
Ruled Out.
CASE GOES TO THE JURY SOON


Cantrill convened court yesterday af-
ternoon. The court room was crowd
ed when the defendant and Mrs. How
ard entered and took seats with the
lawyers for the defense. Judge Gan
trill instructed the jury as follows:
First-If the jury believes that
Howard shot Goebel, or II they be-
lieve that one of the others mentioned
in the indictment killed Goebsl, and
that Howard was present and aided or
counseled the deed. they ought to find
the defendant guilty.
Secord-Sandlin's testimony can
only be considered as affecting the
credibility of Bev. White.
Third--If the jury believes that
there was a conspiracy, then, after
the conspiracy was formed. any act of
one conspirator becomes the act Of all.
Fourth-Formal determination Ct
conspiracy.
Fifth-The defendant cannot be
found guilty on uncorroborated evil
dence of aocomplices.
sixth-Unless the defendant has
been proven guilty beyond doubt, the
jury ought to lind him not guilty.
The instructions were in line with
appellate court decisions In the case.
"Mr. Sheriff, I charge you and each
of your deputies that perfect order
must be maintained during this argu-
ment, and that no expression Of sp-
prevail or disapprovsl of what is said
shall be voiced" said Judge Cantrill
after giving the instructions.
Carlo Little began the opening ar
gument for the defense saying that he
relied upon the absolute innocence Of
the accused to gain for him q verdict
of not guilty.
you said you would not try this
case on newspaper reports OF former
trials. That is all we ask. Try 1t on
the evidence, and we shall be salts
fed, said the speaker.
Mr.. Little then sketched the condi-
tons Of the contest, and said that with
400 armed and desperate men in
Frankfort it would be strange indeed
If the conspirstors had to send for
Howard to do the killing.
1--WE do not condone the crime, nor
ask anything for Powers or Culton or
Golden or Taylor; we simply say that
boy, Jim Howard. mad nothing to DO
with it," said Little, further along.
"They take an ex-convict ont Of Jail
and put lie in his mouth to discred-
it the testimony Of Jim Towards wit
ness, Bev. White" said Little at an
other point, touching upon the meth
DDS of the prosecution.
Mr.. Little described Towards trip
to Frankfort, and pointed out that
there was ample proof that he came.
as he stated. to make an application
for . pardon in the Baker case and
said il was not for this jury to pass
upon the merits of that case.

MRS. YOUTSEY
Gould Have Given Some Interesting
Information.

Winchester, KY. April 2S-Al.
though she declined to be interviewed
for publication 1t is learned here on
absolutely unquestionsble authority,
that Mrs. Henry e. Youtsey is con-
WINGED Of the innocence OF "Jim"How-
ard, and that she believes the "Yout-
sey confession" absolutely untrue
from beginning to end.
Upon just what knowledge Mrs.
Youtsey bases her belief is not known,
except possibly to her fsmily and close
friends, but that 1t is based upon some
tangible evidence there can hardly be
q doubt, nor 10 there any doubt but
that in the event that Jim" Howard
is convicted. she will make, or cause
to be made,s statement that will throw
an entirely new Light upon the case.
Just what this statement will be can
not be made public at present.
It was said here today by one who
has inside information: Jim Howard
will never hang for the murder Of
william Goebel. If he 10 sentenced to
death things will be brought to light
which will make 1t impossible for any
man to sign the death warrant"
All doubt as to what Mrs. Youtsey
meant by shaking hands with Jim
Howard has been removed, and II il
known positively that she meant: II

AFTER THE BALL
Hendrick Saw That He Would
be Robbed.
Believed His Friends Would Not Be
Allowed to Vote in Lou
isville.
THE PROBABLE MACHINE SLATE

Louisville, KY, April 2S- From
statements made by a number Of Colo
mel Hendricks close friends, 1t is
learned that the most potent factor in
determining Colonel Hendricks with
drawal was the practical admission on
the part Of the Beckham forces and
the Democratic state central commit
tee that Colonel Hendrick could have
no representatives at the polls. Ii has
been known for several days that the
election officers all over the state hove
been selected, and that not one Of them
would have voted for Colonel Hen
drick. Colonel Hendrick Fnew this,
and saw that with such conditions
true he would have no chance Of cleo
ton.
Colonel Hendrick is reported rs say
ing that he had positive information
that in Louisville his friends would
not be allowed to enter the polls.
Though his card indicates that he
withdraws with perfect good will, it
is, nevertheless, certain from facts
learned from his friends last night
that he withdraws only when forced
by overwhelming circumstances to get
ont.

CONSIDERATION FOR
WITHDRAWAL.

a =
The consideration for the withdraw
al and the final means which led to an
agreement at the Seelbach hotel con-
ference was, it is understood, that
Hendrick shall be reimbursed for all
expenses incurred by reason OF his
candidacy. His entrance fee and en-
tire campaign expenses will be refund
ed from the Democratic machine
treasury.
PROBABLE MACHINE SLATE.
The withdrawal of Colonel Hen.
drick is significant. The, indications
are that other Withdrawals will fol
low in the next few days, and that the
following slate will remain in the
field: Governor, ]. O. W. Beckham
lieutensnt governor, Abe Renick; au'
ditor, S. ". Hager; secretary Of state,
II. V. MoChesney; treasurer, GINS
Richardson; superintendent of public
instruction, ]. II. Fuqua; attorney
general, Napoleon B. Hayes; commits
siouer Of agriculture, Hubert Vree-
land.
1t has not yet been determined whe-
Their Morgan Chinn or Robert Green
shall become the slate candidate for
clerk of the court Of appeals.
PROBABLY NO PRIMARY.
The result Of such Withdrawals, II
they should come, would be the call
ing of of the primary which is set for
May Q. From a politician who was
present at the meeting Of the concilia-
tory factions, it was learned that the
chances of primary being held are
only remotely possible.
All of the above candidates are
friends and supporters of the present
administration.
BECKHAM HOLLIS THE LINES.
With Hendrick removed from the
race, Beckhsm holds complete power
il he did not before, and it is certain
that he can name those who are to be
nominated.
"we are not sanguine over this mat
ter" said a Beckham Democrat al
Seelbach's last night. 1--WE fear thai
the withdrawal of Hendrick will bring
disastrous results to the party. W,
fear that only about one-third Of the
Democratic vote will be polled. Will
Hendrick in the race great many
Democrats would have gone to tn,
polls who will not go now. The spir
it of competition would have brought
them out. Now, even if plans should
fail and primary should be held, We
calculate that in the November cleo
ton ut least one.h half Of the Democrat,
of the state will not go to the polls,
for they will feel in no wise bound tc
do 80, not having had chance to vote
for candidate for the nomination.
They will look on the matter as cut
and dried. and will not take the trou.
BILE to cast their ballots.
"a movement, such as this, is disss-
trous sooner or later. Interest will
flag, and where the party is not xept
alive by competition within its owl
ranks 1t does not put forward its full
strength"
ED LEIGH WAS PLEASED.

FEELS ENCOURAGED.

Louisville, April 2s--"The commit.
tees will not have headquarters in this
city until after the primary" said
Mr.. Young. 1.-THE headquarters at
Frankfort will be sufficient until that
time. OF course after the nomination 5
are made it will be necessary to carry
on the campaign from Louisville.
The outlook for Democratic success 5
was never better, and the nominees
will win by old-time majorities. The
election officers of the primary will be
the Democrats in the state, and there
will be no cause for complaint"
ALL IS LOVELY NOW.

district will give the Democratic NOM
inee for governor rs, 900 majority. /"
said Senator N. W. Utley, who was
chairman of Mr.. Hendricks campaign
committee. ut will be the largest
majority for years. Mr.. Bryan got

larger this time. All the Democrats
are in line. There is not the slightest
indication of detection.
