DENY PARDON

the Democrats who were pushing the
Goebel contest before the legislature.
The state capitol was surrounded by
state troops ordere here by Governor
Taylor and practically everybody in
Frankfort went about armed.
While walking to the capitol in
company with Col. Jack Chinn and
Col. Eph Lillard on the morning of
January 80, 1900, shot fired from
an office in the state house struck
Goebel in the breast and he fell into
the arms of Col Jack Shinn.
Governor Taylor Fled.
Youtsey, Caleb Powers, then secre-
tary of state and later congressman
from the Eleventh Kentucky district
and Jim" Howard were convicted of
completely in the assassination. Capt.
Garrett D. Ripley and Berry Howard
were acquitted and Governor Taylor
fled to Indiana where he has since re-
manned, fugitive from justice until
pardoned by Gov. A. E. Wilson. Caleb
Powers and Howard spent several
years in Jail fighting through mistrials
and appeals until pardoned by Cover
ncI Wilson.
Youtsey did not appeal from the life
sentence imposed by the Scott circuit
court to which his case was trans
ferred and since his conviction in 1900
he has been confined in the state re-
formatory at Frankfort.
Denies Firing Shot.
1t was charged that the day before
the assassination he was seen in the
office of the secretary of state with q
peculiar pattern of rifle and immedi-
ately after the shot was fired it was
charged he ran from the building cry
ing "Goebel is shot" He suffered a
nervous collapse in court, his condition
delaying the case several days and
probably preventing the infliction Of
the death penalty, though he confessed
his part in the conspiracy to put
Goebel out of the way. He always
maintained, however. that he did not
fire the shot.
Goebel was declared elected by the
| legislature the day after he was shot
and on his death bed was sworn in as
governor. He died February 8, and
| Senator J. C. w. Beckham, who was
elected lieutenant governor on the
ticket with Goebe1, became governor,
| Youtsey was arrested almost imme-
diately after the shooting and on C
count of the intense feeling he was
taken to Georgetown for trial. He was
convicted in the spring of 1900, three
months after the assassination and
came Immediately to the penitentiary.
In prison Youtsey has been stenog-
rapher in the office of the warden, a
teacher in the night school and a
| leader in religious work inside the
walls.
