CLEARS TAYLOR OF
GOfB[L'S MURDER
Kentucky Executive PardOns
the Former Governor and
Other Fugitives

FRANKFORT, Ky, April 23.-Gov-
ernor Wilson granted pardons today to
former Governor w. S. Taylor and for
mer Secretary of state Charles Finley,
both refugees in Indiana. charged with
completely in the murder of william
Goebel in 1900.
Pardons were also granted to John
Powers, brother of Caleb Powers, who
is believed to be in Honduras; to Hol-
land Whitaker, John Davis and Zach
Steele, under Indictment, and who did
not flee the state
Those over whom indictments are left
hanging are Wharton Golden, now in
Colorado; Frank Cecil, a railroad de-
tective in st. Louis, and William III.
Cotton, said to have died in the west a
few months ago. These cases, with the
possible exception of that of Cecil, will
be dismissed leaving Henry E. Youtsey.
now serving a life sentence in the state
penitentiary, the only person to suffer
for the killing of Governor Goebel.
Reiterating the belief he expressed
several months ago when he pardoned
Caleb Powers and James B. Howard.
that no one but Youtsey had part in the
murder and that it was not con-
spiracy, Governor Wilson dscided that
to pardon Taylor was "a sacred duty
which must no longer delay to carry
into effect.
From fair, impartial study of the
reports of all the trials. and from my
knowledge of the conditions of those
times, / believe that Governor Taylor
had no guilty knowledge of the murder
of William Goebel, and that he would
never have been indicted but for poIiti-
cal excitement and passion"
