FIRST PUBLIC UTTERANcE SINCE

SAYS He WILL RETURN

Have an Absolute Guarantee Of

\ Indianapolis, lnd Aug. "A. illiagl
rs. Taylor, former governor Of ken
lucky, whose extradition has been
sought by the authorities Of that state
since the assassination Of Gov. WI
| liam Goebel seven years ago, tonight
gave out signed statement. which
/ he says is the first public statement
he has made since leaving his native
state.
He first dissects the promise Of in
immunity, said to have been offered him
recently should he testify in the Caleb
Powers case, and then makes q prop
osition to the Kentucky authorities to
Ireturn to his home state and stand
trial On the charge against himself
If granted certain guarantees.
The statement says:
For mere than seven years | hare
borne in silence the ISLANDERS and per
secutions Of these who robbed me {

who, to conceal that crime against

He knows that neither he nor anY

He knows that were ! to return

would AZ once iJr arrested, denied bail

ing less than a mock trial by par
tisan court before a packed, partisan
jury, and with 100000 corruption
fund as a powerful incentive to con
viction. The law is clear that Mr.
Franklin or any other officer has nc
power to promise immunity.
But inasmuch as Mr.. Franklin
abounds in propositions and promises
and seems enamored of the idea that
he can do things, will say this:
IF he will in some way provide an
absolute guarantee-not merely al
promise-a guarantee that will in
spire confidence among sensible, level
headed, honest men-a guarantee. the
spirit of which may not be violated
though the letter be observed, that I
will be given a fair and impartial
trial. ! will gladly return to Kentucky
and submit to trial.
"In other words. if Mr.. Franklin
will cause what remains of the one

that all trial juries in my case shall
