the murder of William Goebel

Two ballots were taken the firstballot stood eleven for life im ¬

prisonment and one for hangingthe second ballot all agreed on alife sentence Powers will try for

a new hearing

The case against Henry EYoutsey charged with the murderof William Goebel was calledMonday but continued untilThursday on account of the ill¬

ness of the defendant The attornerys for the defense asked thatthe case be continued until theOctober term of the count on thegrounds that Taylor and Finleywere two very important witnessesand that they would be there totestify for Youtsey at that timebut Judge Cautrill immediatelyoverruled the motion saying

There was no assurance that tine

two men would be here at timeYoutsey will in all probability bethe last ol the assassins to be triedat this terin of the court
