Howard, Republican leader from the mountain districts, and many others.
 But the most amazing phase of this mysterious outrage is the self inflicted exile from Kentucky of William Sylves- ter Taylor. one of the indicted men and still fugitive from justice. Taylors plurality over Goebel. as shown by the corrected returns, was 2.3S3 votes. He received the certificate of election and was inaugurated. He was governor de facto and apparently de jure when Goe- bel was assassnated. MT. Taylor was indicted as an accessory before the fact to the murder of his political opponent. and bench warrant for his arrest was issued by Kentucky judge. He had already sought safety in flight Detec- t.ves shadowed him. He went first to
 Washington and then to New York.
 Fearing arrest, he hastened to Albany and obtained promise from Governor
 Roosevelt that he would not recognize requisition from Kentucky.
 In the course of time Taylor made up
 his mind that he would be safer in the
 middle west. He went to Ohio and lat-
 CT to Indiana, still followed by detec- tives. Both the governor of Ohio and | Governor Mount of Indiana gave him their protection. The indicted official appeared at the Republican national convention at Philadelphia in the fol- I lowing June and received an ovation.
 He was accompanied everywhere by an armed guard of Kentucky friends. For l several months he lived in the full ra- diance of sympathetic popularity.
 Constant worry over his misfortunes preyed upon his health. and he began to fear that his mind would give way \ He seemed to be broken in spirit and feeble physically. Often when he spoke
 of his sufferings he would burst into weeping At last he determined to take
