The Killing of Gov. Goebel. Youtsey Tells His Story in Court ?Ho Says That James Howard Fired tho Shot That Killed tho Governor. Frankfort, Ivy., April 10.? Henry 11. Youtsoy to-day for the tirst time told on tho witness stand his story of tho killing of tho late Governor Goebel. He named Jumed Howard, tho defendant, as the man who tired tho shot. Youtsey said ho saw Howard for the first timo a few minutes before tho shooting. Howard had a letter sent him several days befoio t?y the witness at Governor Taylor's dictation. , Y* out soy says he took Howard into the otlice of Caleb l'owcrs, then Secretary of State, which had been especially ai ranged for the shooting. Ho showed Howard the Marlin ritie, tho bullets and tho window from which tno snooung was 10 oo done. lie says Howard asked what ho was to get for doing the shooting. o O "What do you want for iff' Youtsoy says ho asked, and that Howard said lie wanted a pardon for killing George Baker. o "I told him he could have tLut and more, too," said Youtsoy. "About that tune," said the witness, "Goobel came in the gate and 1 pointed him out to Howard, then ran from the room. As 1 disappeared down the steps to the basement 1 heard the crack of Howard's l ille." Youtsey said that after the shooting he passed through the Mate house basement and a few minutes later came back into the executive building from tbe east sidj entrance.

Youtsey said that at the time of the shouting ho was private secre tary to Auditor Sweeney, but that wbilo his political status was not delinitely fixed, it was understood he was to have a good place under Taylor. "Governor Fay lor," said Youtsey, "directed everything we did. Wo regarded him as our leader and ho was morally responsible for all wo did. We knew we had the Governor and tho pardoning power behind lis, and were not afraid of punishment for killing." Youtsey, on cross-examination, said that after he was arrested and later sent to the penitentiary, he still had hope of gaining lus lib i.- It ? ?.%r ? - eriy. no luougui lerKes would bo 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 ho had 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.ii when he got into trouble. .mm Howard's j>kniai..

Mr. Reginald Vunderbilt is a happy man. lie was married 1 Tuesday to Miss Noilson, u beautiful and wealthy young woman. But to bo wedded lie lmd to have a marriage license, and before obtaining this ho had to till out a blank stating his occupation and that of his father, the late Cornelius Vunderbilt. Mr. Vunderbilt put his occupation down as that of a "gentleman," and that tif 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. Ho seems to draw a distinction between a capitalist and a gentleman, enrolling his father in the one class and himself in the other. And yet his father is believed to have been a gentle man. Surely Mr. Reginald Vandorbilt would not dony this. There is something that grates just a little in hearing aman in this democracy of ours define a gentlemau 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 comes naturally to a man or doesn't como at all. To a degree it is in the blood ? yes, but there are many gentleman that were low born. And ?lw. lwwf ?u..? - iuv uiov [IIUU1 lliui l\ Illtllll IS UUU IS not always found in his declaration. In this town, not many months ago, a lewd fellow of the baser sort,a married man at that, being ordeied by the head of the family out of a house which ho had invaded with an illicit purpose, was at pains to assure the landlord, just before shooting lnm to death, that he, the murderer, was a 1 'gentleman." The term has become very cheap. It is found these days in the mouths of all i sorts ot cattle when they got started talking about themselves. The man whs is one doesn't need to proclaim the fact; and he who lays claim, in words, upon the title, casts doubt upon his right to it. The classification of Mr. Reginald V underbid, for instance, would perhaps never have been in question if he had not raised a suspicion by his assertion that it be longed to him. As it is, there aro these who will evermore think of him us a snob. The Evidence Against Him. Dr. T. 8. Allison, superintendent of the Matteawan State hospital for the criminal insane, met with an experience recently that goes far to show how hard it is to overcome circumstantial evidence. In making a tour of inspection the doctor had occasion to enter an unoccupied cell in the ward reserved for incuraiiles, and as he ,iwi <,?. ii?. .1.... v?i\? ow iii V/ ii i/ii ui/iu i;i u; i\uu nun (9 making liiin a prisoner in his own castle. While ho was standing there rattling the grating and calling for an attendant a party of visitors caine strolling his way. "1 beg your pardon," said tho doct ?r suavely to tho first mem- j her, "Ihk I am locked in." "l'oor fellow," replied the visitor, "so I perceive." ,,I wish you would be good enough to have some one let mo out," the doctor continued. Hy 1 this time a second member of tho party appeared. "See," sun I the first, "this follow looks quite intelligent, und usks to be released, us though ho really expected it." "Gentlemen,! see your error. I am not crazy, I assure you. I locked myself in hero quite by j accident Really? I?why ? " i and the doctor fell himself sruil- I ing in the most blankly imbecile manner. "Look ut him now," cried tho 1 socond visitor; "did you over sec n more hopelessly idiotic expression on the face of man?" ''Say/' cried tho doctor oxcitoilly, "call an attendant or I'll have you both in hero for life I'm the superintendent." "Come," said one of theslran.i gers, "wo mustn't got the poor dovil worked up. He may do himself harm," and they pressed on down the corridor.-Now York Times. Crosa-Examination Fun. Tbo content between counsel and witness must necessarily be an unequal one, and it is little surprise that tbo sympathies of the public arc more often with the latter than the former, or that whenever a witness scores a poiut over a bullying cross-examiner it is hailed with delight. "Have you ever been a bank . lupt?" a pompous counsel once asked, in the writer's hearing, of a provincial tradesman. "No, neyer," came the decisive answer. "Now, bo careful, sir, how you answer this question. Have you ever stopped payment?" "Yes." "Ah!" said the barrister, with satisfaction, "thought we should get at it. Now, sir, tell his lordship when that happened." "After 1 had paid all I o.ved," the witness answered, amid a roar of laughter in which the judge himself felt compelled to join. On another occasion a conceited counsel had been er?ss-exam* ining a young woman at considerable length upon the age of a per son with whom she professed to be well acquainted. Finally he asked her: "How old, now, do you take mo to be?" The witness scrutinized hor persecutor closely for a moment or two and then nnswered: "From your appearance I should take you to be GO; from your questions, 1G." "Will you describe the man you say you saw near the scene of the crime?" asked a diminutive hnrriater of a witness in a recent murder I rial. "Was ho a big man?" "Ob, no; howt o't kind," answered the witness, a burly Yorkshireman. "He was just a little insignificant bit of a chap, cummat like yourseP This story reminds one an equally crushing answer given to another counsel whoso physical dimensions were incommensurate with his sence of importance. "Did you see this tree that was mentioned by the roadside?" the barrister inquired. "Yes, sir; I saw il plainly." "It was conspicuous, then?" "No; I shouldn't say it was exactly conspicuous,' the witness answered.
