 In answer to a direct question. ]. B. Noe. of Burlington, who has never be- fore testified. said that he was stand ing by when Henry Youtsey made statement to John .Saylor that he (Youtsey), was looking for "Tallow Dick" Combs to kill Geobel and should he not do so. Youtsey would do It htmself.~ The objectien of the Com monwealth was overruled and the statement went into the record. He made the further statement that on the same day he heard Youtsey say to AL bert Healton that "Tallow Dick" Combs had promised to kill Goebel but that Combs had gone back on his promise and if the d. should fall to do 1t. he (Youtsey), would do 1t himself.
