Youtsey to-day for the 1 first time told on the witness stand ' his story of the killing of the late ' Governor Goebel. Ho named ' James Howard, tho defendant, as ' A.

I sent him several days bofoio by 1 the witness at Governor Taylor's dictation. Youtsey says ho took Howard into the oflico of Caleb 1 Powers, then Secretary of State, which had been especially ai rang- J ed for the shooting. He showed i Howard the Marlin rifle, tho bullets and the window from which tho shooting was to be done.

' Youtscy says he asked, and that ' Howard said he wanted a pardon ' for killing George Baker. "I told him he could have that and more, too," said Youtsey. "About that time," said the witness, "Goebel came in the gate and 1 pointed him out to Howard, then ran from the room. As 1 disappeared down the steps to the basouieut I heard the crack of Howard's rifle." Youtsey said that after tho shooting he passed through tho istate house basement and a few minutes later came back into tho executive building from the east silli entrance. "1 stayed in the otiiceof Assist ant Secretary of State Matthews," said lie, "for a few moments and saw Matthews break open Caleb Powers' ollice and find the guns that had been left in there." Youtsey said that at tho time of the shooting ho was private secro tary to Auditor Sweeney, but that while his political status was not definitely fixed, it was understood he was to have a good place under . t - n i i. vui uui uryior, Haul l'outsey, 1'directed everything we did. Wo regarded him as our loader and ho was morally responsible for all wo did. We knew we had the Governor and the pardoning power behind us, and were not afraid of punishment for killing." Youtscy, on cross-examination, said that after he was arrested and later Bent to the penitentiary, he still had hope of gaining his liberty. Ho thought Yerkes would be elected Governor and would pardon him. Yerkes was defeated, however, ond about a year ago ho decided to talk and did tell his story to Prison Physician Tobin. Youtsoy said further that he hail an additional incentive to tell tho story, as Taylor, Powers and others had used him as a cat's paw and scape-goat and then deserted hi.n when he got into trouble. jim Howard's denial. Frankfort, Ky., April 18.? James Howard was called us tho first witness for tho defense in his trial today for the murder of Gov. Wra. Goebel. He testitied to arriving hero shortly before the shooting of Goeoel on January 30. His defense is an alibi und in support of this he gave tho alleged movements of himself from tho time of his arrival until after tho shooting. He denied that he knew either Taylor, Culton or Goebel. Tho witness also deniod emphatically that ho ever saw Henry Youtsey until ho met him in jail after their arrest and he deniod emphatically that he ever received a letter from Gov. YV. . S. Taylor or did any of the tilings to which Youtsey testified. | Who is A Gentleman* Jharlotte Observer. Mr. Reginald Vunderbilt is a lappy man. He was married L'uesdtiy to Miss Neiluon, a beauIful and wealthy young woman, dot to bo wedded ho had to huvo a liurriage liconso, and boforo obtaining this he had to till out a blank stating his occupation aud that of his father, tlvp late Cornelius Vandcrbilt. Mr. Vanderbilt put his occupation down as that of a "gentleman," and that of his Father as a "capitalist " As the son of a millionaire Mr. Vanderbilt is not compelled to work for his living, and therefore his definition of a millionaire loafer is interesting. He seems to draw a iistinction between a capitalist ind a gentleman, enrolling bis hither in the one class and himself in the other. And yet his father is believed to have been a gentle man. Surely Mr. Kegiuald VanJorbilt would not deny this. There is something that grates just a little in hearing aman in this lemocracy of ours define a gentleman as a rich man who doesn't work. There are professions and professions, but gentleman is haruly among them. Being a gentleman is something that conies naturally to a man or doesn't como at all. To a degree it is in the blood ? yes, but there are many gentlemau that were low born. And the best proof that a mam is one is not alwavs found in his deelara %/ - ? ~ tion. In thin town, not many months ago, a lewd fellow of the baser sort,a married man at that, being ordered by the head of the family out of a house which he had invaded with an illicit purpose, was at pains to assure the landlord, just before shooting him tc death, that he, the murderer, was a ''gentleman." The term has become very cheap. it is found these days in the mouths of alt sorts ot cattlo when thev get started talking about themselves. The man whs is one doesn't need to proclaim the fact; and bo who lays claim, in words, upon the title, custs doubt, noon bis ri<rht to it; I O The classification of Mr. Reginald Vanderbiit, for instance, would perhaps never have been in ques lion if be hud not raised a suspicion by his assertion that it belonged to him. As it is, there are those who will evermore think oi him as a snob. The Evidence Against Him. Dr. T. S. Allison, superintendent of the Mutteuwun State hospital for the criminul insane, mel with an experience recently that goes far to show how hard it is tc overcome circumstantial evidence. In making a tour of inspectioc the doctor had occasion to entei an unoccupied cell in the ward re served for incuruoles, and as he did so the iron door clicked shut, making him a prisoner in his owr castle. W hile lie was standing there rattling the grating and calling for an attendant a party ol visitors came strolling his way. "I beg your pardon," said the duct o- suavely to the first member, "but I am locked in." "Poor fellow," replied tin visitor, "so 1 perceive." ,,I wish you would be good enough to have some one let m< out," the doctor continued. By this time a second member of th< party appeared. "See," said the first, "this fellow looks quite intelligent, an< asks to bo released, as though Ik really expected it." 4 Gentlemen, I nee your error I am not crazy, 1 assure you. locked myself in here <|i>ite bj accident Really? I?why?' and the doctor felt himself hidi 1 ing in the most blankly imbecili manner. "Look ut him now," cried tin I second visitor: 'Mid you ever sec j t a more hopelessly idiotic expree- j sum on the face of mau?" } "Say/' cried the doctor oxcit- \ edly, "call an attendant or I'll ' have you both in hero for life, i I'm the superintendent." t "Couio," said one of the strung i gors, "wo mustn't get the pool i devil worked up. Jle may do himself harm," ami they pressed i on down the corridor.-New York j Times. ; Cross-Examination Fun. i The contest between counsel ] and witness must necessarily be un unequal one, and it is little surprise that tho s> mpatbics of the public are more often with the latter than tho former, or that whenever a witness scores a poiut over a bullying cross-examine.r it is hailed with delight. "Have you ever been a bank . tupl?" a pompous counsel once asked, in tho writer's hearing, of a provincial tradesman. "No, neyer," camo the decisive j I auswer. "Now, be careful, sir, how you answer this question. Ilavo you over stopped payment?" "Yes." "Ah!" said the barrister, with satisfaction, "thought we should get at it. Wow, sir, tell his lordship when that happened." "After I had paid all I o.ved," the witness answered, amid a roar of laughter in which the judge himself felt compelled to joiu. On another occasion a conceit( cd counsel had been cross-exam* ining a youog woman at considerable length upon the ago of a pers son with whom she professed to bo well acquainted. Finally ho asked her: 4'How old, now, do ( you take 1110 to be?" The witness scrutinized her persecutor closely for a moment or two and then answered: 44From your apr pearauce I should take you to he 60; from your questions, 16." s 44Will you describe the man you say you saw near the scene of ^ the crime?" asked a diminutive barrister of a witness in a recent murder trial. 44Was ho a big man?" I 4iOh, no; liowt o't kind," answered the witness, a burly Yorkshireman. 44He was just a little insignificant bitofuchup, cummut like yoursel'." ^ This story reminds one an equally crushing answer given to an* other counsel whoso physical dimensions were incommensurate with his sonce of importance. "Did you see this tree that was mentioned by the roadside?" tho t barrister inquired. "Yes, sir; I saw it plainly." I , "It was conspicuous, then?" "No; I shouldn't say it was exi actly conspicuous,' the witness answered. i "You are trilling, sir," couni * : ~ t WHY US! ) 0<C , * * 'Vv' - r/0 r VHr#rm j i ^ s 1 ? THE VEGE1 ?

But perhaps the smartest retort ever administered to a bullying lawyer was the following: A counsel, after vainly trying t< break down the evidence of a witness iu a murder trial, so far forgot himself in his exasperati n as to say: "1 do not believe a word you say. 1 can sec scoundrelism r< fleeted in your face."
