the union would let the men return to work

attorneys, who denied that ho had told
Arthur Gnchel and Colonel Campbell that
"Youtscy knew enough to hang Governor
Taylor," but admitted that he did sny
his client (Youtsey) knew "something that
would be very benetlclnl to tho common
wealth In Ho prosecution of Taylor."
Tho prosecution argued from this that
if Youtsey thus admitted that he did
know something dnmaglng to Taylor he
must necessarily know other details of
the tragedy.
The defense got In some strong testi
mony today, squarely contradicting the
prosecution's witnesses.
Dr. J. A. Mahaffy,' rcptthliran legislator,
was Mie first witness today. Ho said Herry

as n metal Jacket bullet, with It ad inside
and a copper Jacket outside, and us tired

did not fit oxaetly. On cross exi" ' intlon
he said the bullet was the same t .c 'y as
thoso exhibited by the prosecution a oelng
counterparts of thoso bought by outsey
In Cincinnati.
Colonel Crawford, the half-hrothor of
Youtsey, (old of a conterence he nnd Nel
son had with Colonel Campbell and Arthur
Goebol In Frunkfort, an follows;
"Colonel Campbell acted ns spokesman
nnd snld ho bcllovcd Youtsey know aome
thing about tho killing of Goebol. Camp
bell produced a puper which he said con
tained statementi! that Youtsey had made
tn him and that ho wanted Youtsey to sign
the papers. 1 told him I did not believe
Yoy's:' hnd madi -?ny sufch " Matoifionts
to him. Arthur Goebel then said: "We
bollevo Youtsey known who fired thn shot
nnd who was In that room.' "
Colonel Nolson was put on the stand ancj
corroborated Crawford as to what occurred
nt tho conforenco.
Colonel Campbell produced a copy of the
paper which was dlncussed at the llrst
conference, and nsked In detail of Colonel
Nelson If uitch nnd such subject was not
contained in tho papers submitted to him
nnd Crawford nt the conference nnd then
discussed. Nelson admlted that most of
the ltiattcrR were discussed. Nelson said
ho did tell Arthur Goebel and Campbell
In the Gibson house ln Cincinnati that
Youtsey could tell some things that would
be beneficial to tho comonwcalth In Ub
prosecution of Governor Taylor, but did
not say Youtsey knew enough to hung Tay
lor. Court ndjourned at noon till 1-30 p. m.

vitn for the defense. Davidson suld tho
leaving of u gun by Youtsey in his ollke
on January 27 hnd no reference to any at
tempt to kill Sorator Goohel or any ono
else. Mrs. NaBon said she saw Youtsey
un tho east steps of the executive building

measurements from the window of Powers'
offlco to the hackberry tree and said If the
bullet fell I 13-18 Inches In pausing through

at one foot, that the bullet must have
started from a point ntno teet above the
window sill lu Powers' office, but that If
the shot was fired from tho second-story
window the bullet would have passed many
feet over Oocbel's head, If It had fallen

WACO, Tex.. Oct"". The attention of
County Attorney Culler F. Thotnus was
called today on his return from St. Louis
to the newspnper reportH as to the Rocke
feller requisition. He said:
Tho statements have nil come from the
other side. The whole thing leaked out in
some mysterious way. Early In September
Assistant Sheriff John W. linker of Mc
Lennan county and myself went to New
York with a requisition from Governor
Buyers for the Standard Oil trUHteen. On
reaching Albany wo found Governor Roose
velt absent from thn stnte. We called on
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff und served
him with thn papers, lie requested until
the following day for Investigation. The
lieutenant governor then declined to honor
the requisition nn the ground that th dt
fi'iiduntH were not In the Htnto of Texan nt
the time of the romniltslou of (he alleged
offense, in reply I cited prominent de
cisions of the highest court In the stnte of
New York holding that a fugitive from
Ittstti'o meant m fugltlte from (ustiee of a
ni.ito rutlivi thu.t a fust t' o fruin Itu tei.i

Learning that the time of his return to
New York wiih Indellnlto 1 went to SI. Louis
to lay the matter before Governor Roohi
velt, Governor Roosevelt pi omitted to take
action in Mie mutter later, but has not done
ho yet. It ls true that these ciihi'm have been
long ponding, hut the mitl-trust law of
Texas Iiuh been fur six years under assault
uh unconstitutional. The cases have been
onco to the highest stnte court and twice lo
the supreme court of the United States.
Tho law wan once held uuconiitltutionai hv

OTTAWA. Out.. Oct. l7.-(8ptclal Tele
gum. I- Without even a blush upon hi
cheek or tremor of his Up, John llenwell
KenriiN, murdeter of Matthew Akeson ot
Cui-s county. Nebinskn, today told the storv
of tlisl shocking tragedy nud the story con
cerning the inumicr in which he tvas ie
leased from tho penitentiary.
Kcurhs resides hero at tl Lyon street with
his parents, who keep a boarding houce. He
Is employed as a bookkeeper lu tho leather
nnd harness store rouductd by S. nud II
Uorbrldge, ,SS Hldcui. street. He hns been
employed there over five months, qualifying
himself for his elasx by taking live months'
schooling in n local commerciiil college tit -forehand.
Ho turn pardoned out ot the prnl
teutlury May :t. 1M'9, and "Bent homo to
die," hut of the sixteen mouths he ha been
freo he Iiiib devoted ten months to mental
ami physical labor nud today la ns healthy
uppceriug as any man in this city of 60,000
people, lull, erect aud In line physical pto
portion. Nothing Is known hero of his his
tory lu Nebruskri. The family guard tils
record with utmost euro.
When Kcarns' household was visited last
night persistent Inquiry fulled to elicit any
Information concerning the Identity of the
murderer. Kearns admitted that hu had
been nway to the stntes, but denied ever
having been In Nebraska. Despite tho den
ials the different members of the family ap
peared to bo nervous about something nnd
this wns what enkindled a very re'moto em
ber of hope in the matter ot solving thu
mHtery.
Invcllunlloo I'rmrM thr I'm'l.
Tho investigation wus renewed bright
nnd early this morning uud diligent efforts,
in which iiHslstance waa rendered by De
tective Foster and Chief Sherwood of Mij
Dominion police, resulted In ictch an array
of uvldenen that Mrs. Kenrtm, mother of
the murderer, finally acknowledged thut he
was the num.
"I have tried to keep (he whole thing n
secret Irot.i (.he public." nlie mi'd, "hut J
see you have the facts pretty well tn
hand. John Is working right along und
has a good Job."
"How did ho happen to get pardoned''"
was asked.
"I really don't know. I never asked for
it nnd I don't know who did. lie used 'O
work for a1 rich man named Ilrov.ii In Mun
tnna, but I do not know whether he helped
him ( ut or not. Yes, I heard that It wnt
roported back In tho Ktutcs that lie bought
j lilt pardon. I don't know anything about
it. The llrHt I knew he wuh lu prlHon ivun
j when 1 got a letter Mating he wns there
I and was sontencid for threo years. I wrote
to him nbout io years Inter and nskul
him If he wns hooii to he out and he then
wrote mc he w.ih sentenced for life. Ho
mlnrepreH tiled the facta to me In his first
letter."
"Do on menn to say that you alone of
the family know of his trouble?"
"No; his fnthi r knows nbout l( and he
put lu part of the money to pay his we
from there here. Nobody else here In fji
tawu knows about It and I hope nobody
else will."
Decline In l)icii (hr I'lirlloll.
When tiHked how she heard that tho re
port was in clieulHtlon that ho bough'
IiIh pardon she could not sny, though It
Is evident that hIio has been advised hv
Homebody nt Lincoln an to curtain condi
tions and further advised to reiraln from
talking on thla Ktibjeet.
She admitted reroivlng n letter from
Governor Poynter lat June asking her
to furnish a physlclan'H certificate as to
her bon'a health, but she failed to comply
with the request, ostensibly for fear the
Hicrot ould' get out, but In rtnllty be
cutiHo the "dying man'' wan In excellent
health and wnu at work.
John Kcarns, the son after learning
that further efforts to hide Ills Identity
wero useless, muUe n signed statement In
bubatanco us follows. "1 was pardoned
out of tho pei'ltenlinry Muy 1'3, 1S9!'. I
had been sick prior to that time, hut was
convalescing at the time I wnn pardoned,
1 wus kipt in the hnnpllal up to tho tlina
I wns released, but I was up und nrattnd
four weeks before. Of cottrso, as long
as they let mo Htny there I would have
been a fool to huve asked to go hack to
the cell."
"Who Interceded for yon or asked for
your, pardon?'
"I do not know. Hrown of .Montana wns
down to soe inn once, but I don't know
whether hu made any Bpeclul effort to get
mn out."
"is It not a fact that Brown's money In
Kplred your pardon?"
I.rlilluh MiiKKrstnl It In lllm,
"I could not nay. I know Mint there
was considerable talk, about prisoner., ge;
ting out through liffluence nnd the use
of money, but 1 can't nay In my case. War
den Loldlgh Is the llrst man thut ever
mentioned pardon to me. I hnd figured
thnt I was thero for ten years nt leant nnd
I never hoped or thought of getting out
Hoonoiv I never dreamed of pardon or
thought I would get ono until n tow weeks
before I got It. Leldlgh promised to got
me out, hut I doubted his ability to do It
I never talked with Governor Poynter
about It. Ho did not sen mo but once after
I was convicted nnd that was ono da"
when he wns there on n visit. He d,ld
not know of his own personal knowledge
what my condition waa at thn time t wus
pardoned.
"Leldlgh had a good pull wiih him and hi
helped me out, I wrote u letter thanking
them both on reaching here. I was released
latn in the afternoon and was taken (n (he
drpot In n carriage. They bought me a
ticket through to Ottawa and I lost no lime
in getting away, At Chicago I bought a suit
