ATTORNEY FRANKLIN
SCOTS At TAYLOR
Takes Little Stock in State
ment Made by the Ken
lucky Refugee.
ATTEMPT TO PREJUDICE.
FEARS is A CROSS-ExAMiNA
TON IN OPEN COURT BEFORE
THE COUNTRY.

Frankfort, Ky, Aug. 24-After read
ing the statement made by ex-Govern-
or w. S. Taylor, refugee from Ken
lucky in Indiana, Commonwealth At
torney Robert B. Franklin, who has
had charge of all the Goebel murder
cases, said:
"Mr. Taylor evidently realizes that
he is at last forced to say something
to counterfeit the effect of the senti-
ment in the country at large that he
should return to testify, immune to ar
rest while in Kentucky for that pur
pose, and undertakes after the weeks
since the immunity proposition was
made, by this statement to again pre-
JUDGE the people of the country in his
favor by rehashing the false charges
against the Kentucky courts and its
officials generally, which he and his
associates, charged with this crime,
have made from the beginning.
Il am surprised that since the inn
munity proposition was first made he
and those who have helped him pre-
pare this political stump speech have
been able to think of no better excuse
for his not coming to testify than these
ounter-propositions.
Taylor refers to his deposition.
That deposition was taken in Indiana
upon written questions filed in the
Scott Circuit Court and sent to In
diana by mail. Neither Caleb Powers
nor any representative of the common
wealth of Kentucky under the law, was
or could have been present when Tay-
lor appeared before the Indiana Off
Ger to answer those questions.
Taylor does not fear that the terms
of the immunity offered will be violat-
ed: what he fears is cross-examina-
ton in open court before the country.
He fears that such an examination
would, as l stated in my letter to Gov
ernor Beckham on this subject, make
plain one or the other of two facts,
possibly both: first, that the conten-
lions of the commonwealth with refer
ence to the conspiracy that eliminated
in the murder of William Goebel are
or second, that Taylor himself
is absolutely unworthy of belief"

Cambridge Resident Alleged to
Have Assaulted Young
Charlottesville Man.
is PLACED UNDER ARREST.
TROUBLE is SAID TO HAVE TAX
EN- PLACE IN a SALOON-VIC-
TIM is IN A CRITICAL CONDI.
TON AT HIS HOME.

Cambridge City, Ind, Aug. "a
Thomas Bird a respected resident of
Cambridge City was arrested about
seven O'Clock tonight at his nome
while eating supper, on the charge OF
attempting mansiaughter, it being al
legged that he committed a vicious as
sault upon a young man by the name
of Rock at Knightstown, Ind, about
six o'clock Saturday evening. Rock
is in a serious condition at his home
in Charlottesville, Ind, and death may
result from the wounds received at
Birds hands. The assault was made
while both men were in a saloon and
under the influence of liquor, accord
ing to report.
Trouble in Saloon.
Bird, who is a car inspector for the
Pennsylvania railroad running out of
this place, went to Knightstown Sat
urday morning to attend official dut-
les. After he had performed these he
began making the rounds of the sa-
looms and is said to have become in
toxicated. While sitting in Brady's
saloon INDUCING in social game OF
cards Rock, it is asserted, came into
the place and began to curse Bird
Warm words were passed between
called Bird vile name, and the lat
ter grabbed the chair on which he had
been sitting and dealt Rock four vic
ious blows over the head, telling the
man to the floor.
Came to Cambridge.
In the excitement which followed,
Bird calmly left the saloon and board
ed a Pennsylvania train, arriving at
his home in Cambridge City shortly
after six o'clock. He went directly
to his home and while seated at the
supper table with his wife and daugh-
ter. was apprehended by Marshal
Drischel, who had received mes
sage from Knightstown apprising him
of the assault Bird was locked in
the Cambridge City Jail tonight, while
the Knightstown marshal returned for
the proper papers to get him into
Henry county. He will be taken to
Henry county today.
Condition Critical.
Rock is lying at his home in Char
louisville in a critical condition. From
the messages received in Cambridge
City Saturday night. Rock may re-
cover. Doubts of this are entertained
however, by the Knightstown Off
cia;s
Friends of Bird i'm Cambridge City
are much wrought up over his arrest.
They state that Bird, during his en-
tire residence in this city, has been a
citizen. For several
months he conducted a dray line,
while for some years he acted in the
of horsetrainer. 1t is freely
asserted that had Bird not been I'M
der the influence of liquor he would
never have committed the assault.

CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
Physician Tells Convention That EIee-
 tricty Has Been Successful.

Physician Tells Convention That Elec-
 tricity Has Been Successful.
 Boston, Sept. 20.-Electricity as an accessory in treating tuberculosis has produced remarkable results, accord ing to paper read before the conven- tion of the American Electro-Thera- peutic association by Dr. F.'F. Strong. instructor in electro contemporaries at Tufts Medical school. He said in part:
 "The use of electricity in its various forms has unquestionably proved of real efficiency in tuberculosis, not so much as specific cure as minor accessory to medical or hygienic treat ment. Currents of high frequency have proved of special value, and dur ing the last few years hundreds of cases have been reported by eminent authorities in which cures have re- suited from the application of high ire quency currents where these agents formed the sole means employed for the elimination of the disease. The satisfactory results of this treatment in tuberculosis are largely due to the profound increase in tissue combustion and vasomotor action which these cur rents produce, their peculiar vitalizing effect upon the trophic nerves and to the stimulating and germicidal action of the ozone which is produced when the effiuve is applied over the lung tis- sues.''
