governor PARDONS
| TAYLOR AND FINLEY
Wilson, Of Kentucky, Dismisses
Cases Against Six Men
YouTsEy ALONE WAS PUNISHED
After Nine Years in Exile Accused OF
Completely in Murder OF Gov.
ernor Can Return to His Native
State.

Frankfort; XIV. S. Taylor. de-
posed as Governor Of Kentucky in
January, 1900; Charles Finley, who
held the Office of Secretary Of State;
John L. Powers, John w. Davis,
"Zach" Steele, and Harlan Whitta-
ker, all of whom were indicted for
the murder of William Goebel, have
been pardoned before trial by Gov
ernor Augustus 3. Wilson.
Governor Wilson has thus dis
posed Of the famous Goebel case.
which has played a prominent part
In politics since the assassination at
Frankfort more than nine years ago.
He gave pardons several months age
to Caleb Powers and James Howard.
both Of whom had been convicted OF
the murder of Goebel. Henry e.
Youtsey is serving a life sentence for
the crime, but Governor Wilson de-
clares he is directly guilty
Taylor and Finley are now in In
diana, where they fed Immediately
after Goebel died. John Powers,
who is a brother of Caleb Powers,
also left the State, and is believed to
| be in Honduras.
Governor Wilson .reiterates the
| belief he expressed when he par
doned Caleb Powers and James B.
/ Howard, that no one but Youtsey
| had part in the murder, and that 1t
| was not a conspiracy, as the Com
monwealth charged.
Governor Wilson states that no
! demand has been made on him by
| the Commonwealth for requisition
/ f,,r hoa to
lucky, and it is evident that no at
tempt will be made to prosecute
them.
| Steele, Davis and Whitaker never
left the State, and although they
we're in custody for some time, they
| were not brought to trial. Not one
of those pardoned at this time has
ever been tried on the indictment
found against him. After Taylor
and Finley fled to Indiana the Gov
ernor of that State declined to gran
a requisition for their return, ant
succeeding Governors followed his ex
; ample.
These, pardons ends one of the mos
remarkable murder cases in the his
tory of the South. William Goebel
a Democrat, was assassinated in from
of the Kentucky State Capitol Will
he was contesting the election of w
S. Taylor to the Governorship. Th
contest had caused great excitement
and thousands of men were armed
ready for trouble. The Legislator
deposed Taylor, and he and Finle
were indicted on a charge of com
| plicity in the murder. They both fe
across the Ohio River into Indiana
Caleb Powers, then Assistant Secre
,. tary of State, was arrested an
I charged directly with the murder. H
: was convicted twice for first degre
. murder, but Governor Wilson pal
y doned him. He is now on lecturin
tour through the country.
Requisitions for Taylor and Finle
by three Democratic Governors {
). Kentucky were refused by three RI
t publican executives in Indiana. Whe
ri Governor Wilson, who is a Republ
4 can, was elected it was forecast thu
an end would be put to the whol
case. One OF his first acts was tt
pardoning of Caleb Powers.

berries, who has made a practical
trial OF the soils of Wisconsin and
Idaho, and who spent several months
In searching for an ideal place for
his business, visiting all parts OF
Washington, Hood River and the
Rogue River valleys, has settled
near Merlin. He purchased the
Frank Thomas place northeast of
town, which was noted for its deep
red soil, and has entirely changed
Its complexion. Mr.. Thomas had
gone largely to Tokay grapes, but
Mr.. Butler has disposed OF most OF
the new grape vines that were or
dered, and hopes to demonstrate
that the luscious berry is greater
revenue producer than anything else
that can be planted in our soils. We
believe that Mr.. Butler understands
his business, and our mouths are al
ready beginning to water in anticipa-
tion OF what we can reasonably ex-
pect next year.
