NARROWING DETAILS RELATED
By Convict YOutsey, Who
Wants to Make Clean
Breast of Matter.

Georgetown, KY, December TO-
trial of Caleb Powers, with the ex-
cSption of brief period during which
( the testimony of John II. Stewart, of
Frankfort, and William Harding, of
Louisville was heard, occupied to-
day with the testimony of Convict
Henry Youtsey, who is now serving
a life sentence in the penitentiary at
Frankfort for completely in the assas-
sination of William Goebel.
Goutsey is "a years of age and was
born in Newport. He was an attor-
ney-at-law and stenographer in that
city until 1898, when he was appointed
private secretary to Auditor Stone at
Frankfort, and filled the position for
two years, serving in the same capacity
under Auditor Sweeney. He was en-
gagged in this work when William
GGfbel began his contest against w.
S. Taylor, and, according to his own
confession, he figured conspicuously
in the conspiracy which resulted in
the death of Goebel.
Though / am sorry of it now, |

killing of Goebel as means to keep
Taylor in the office of Governor" said
Youtsey in the course of his testimony

fore Goebel had brought his contest

ton. A man from Whitley County,
who had come down to give testi-
m0ny while the vote was being can
vassed, came into my office one day
and during our conversation / made
the remark that Goebel wore an armor
This man replied that Goebel did not
wear an armor around his head, and
that he ought to be hanged
Later talked with Dr. Johnson, of
Salckson county, who had been par
c.ofed from the workhouse by Taylor.
He said he wass. willing to kill Goe-
bel. We discussed various plans. john
son at one time suggested that he be
blown up with nitroglycerine while
asleep at the hotel. told him that
