GOLDEN says
BE WILL TALK
itj j e n All He Knows About the
Assassination of Goebel.
SPI'RNS TO BE CALLED COWARD
grid Statement of Young Sergeant
Creates a Sensation Through
out State of Kentucky.
\ special from Lexington, Ky.,
sots: Sergeant F. Wharton Golden,
tll e man alleged to have made incrimi
nating statements in the Goebel mur
der ca se, arrived in the city Tuesday
night in company with his attorney,
Smith Hayes. They came from Win
chester.
TLeir movements have been kept in
the dark and their presence was not
known until several hours after their
arrival. They did not register at the
Phoenix hotel, but it is stated Golden
went through the rear door of the Phoe
nix and subsequently to hia room in
the hotel.
Another story is that they were met
Lit a carriage and driven to the home
of a Goebel Democrat. As the hotel
clerk knew nothing of their arrival ef
forts to find Golden proved futile.
Many rumors aro in circulation.
One is that Golden is trying to get
away from Goebel influences, but he
is clot ely watched. It is improbable
that he has given them the slip. .
Another rumor is that he was in the
citv for further conference with Goe
bel attorneys.
The stories growing out of the con
ference between Sergeant F. Wharton
Golden, of the Barbourville company
of state militia, and the attorneys who
are managing the investigation of the
assassination of Governor Goebel have
caused a sensation throughout the
state. Golden will be placed on the
stand by the prosecution in the trial
of persons already arrested for alleged
complicity in the assassination, but in
formation as to the exact nature of the
testimony he is expected to give is
lacking.
“I will do all I can for my friends
all the time,” Golden is reported as
saying, “but I must first he true to
myself. When the time comes I will
tell all I know. Whatever else may
be said about me I do not think I can
be accused of being a liar, a coward
or a Democrat, and I want it distinct
ly understood that I am not here un
der guard.”
The story is published that Golden
bas divulged to the attorneys the
name of the man who fired the shots
that killed Goebel. The person men
turned is a mulatto, who formerly
lived at Winchester, was prominent in
tbe French-Eversole feud and is
known as a dead shot. This man is
now supposed to be in the wilds of
one of the mountain counties.
Evidence that he was in Frankfort
fit the time of the assassination was
found among papers taken from W.
, Fulton, a clerk in the auditor’s of
fice, when the latter was arrested a
J'eek or so ago on a warrant charging
nim with being an accessory to the
murder.
Among those papers were receipts
w board bills amounting to about
•• 00, incurred by eighteen men who
''tre in Frankfort for sometime he
re and at the time Goebel was shot.
, D one of those receipts the name of
ce mulatto mentioned is given. The
receipt in this case is for money re
cced from John Perkins by Bettina
idman for the board of three men.

REWARD FOR LYNCHERS.
Governor Candler of Georgia
Wants Members of Cobb County
Hob Punished.
Governor Candler of Georgia is de
termined that the perpetrators of the
crime at Marietta, last Saturday night,
in which the negro John Bailey was
practically shot to pieces, shall be
brought to justice.
Monday afternoon the chief execu
tive, in compliance with request of
Cobb county officers, issued notice of
a reward of $2OO for the arrest with
evidence to convict, of the first mem
ber of the lynching party, aud $lOO
for each subsequent arrest.
The mob which took Bailey out of
the hands of the law is believed to
have been 150 strong, and while it is
not on record that any lynching mob
was ever captured entirely, should 100
of the lynchers be located and con
victed the cost to the state would be
$10,200.
The county officers of Cobb, or at
least some of them, requested the
governor to issuo a large reward for
the lynchers in the hope of at least
bringing the leaders of the party to
justice. The governor immediately
complied with the request, expressing
in plain language his condemnation of
the work of the mob.
The sheriff of the county and his
deputies are nuderstood to be bard at
work in attempting to discover the
perpetrators of the deed, though un
der the law they cannot receive ths
reward, as they are sworn to do their
duty regardless of money offers.
Following is the order of Governor
Candler providing for a reward for the
apprehension of the Cobb county lynch
ers:
March, 19, 1900. —Whereas, official
information has been received at this
department that on the night of March
17, 1900, in the county of Cobb, some
unknown persons committed assault
with intent to murder upon the person
of John Bailey, colored, by forcing an
entrance to the jail and taking there
from the said Bailey and shooting
him; and
Whereas, the malignity of the crime
and the promotion of justice require
that the said unknown persons be
brought to justice for tbe crime with
which they stand charged; it is, there
fore
Ordered, That tbe secretary of state
record and publish a proclamation of
fering a reward of $2OO for the appre
hension and delivery, with proof suffi
cient to convict of the first of said un
known persons to the sheriff of Cobb
county, and an additional reward of
$lOO for each additional one of said
unknown persons apprehended and
convicted of said crime.
A. D. Candler, Governor.
ALLEGED CONFESSION
Of Suspected Goebel Assassin Stirs
Frankfort—Trials Are Post
poned By Judge Moore.
Caleb Powers, John Davis and Wil
liam IT. Culton, charged with being
accessories to ths murder of William
Goebel, were arraigned at Frankfort,
Monday, for trial before Judge Moore.
The commonwealth was not ready and
by agreement the trials were set for
Friday. Ex-Governor John Young
Brown made a demand for a list of
witnesses for the commonwealth, but
this was refused by the prosecution on
the ground that publicity might cause
some of them to avoid being sum
moned.
Jfews of an alleged confession of F.
Wharton Golden, of Barbourville, in
regard to the assassination'of William
Goebel, reached Frankfort during the
day and produced a sensation.
Golden was formerly a guard at the
penitentiary in Frankfort under the
Republican administration and is well
known. It developed that the police
and detectives have been watching his
movements since the day of the assas
sination on the theory that he knew
something about it.
Commonwealth Attorney Franklin
and County Attorney Pohlsgrove de
cline to discuss the alleged confession,
as did others who are assisting in the
prosecution, though one went so far as
to say Mr. Golden will be one of the
most important witnesses introduced
by the state. •
Some regret that the matter became
public so soon, as they fear it will not
only make it dangerous for him to re
turn to his home at Barbourville.
ATLANTA POSTOFFICE BILL.
Senate raises the Measure amt Progpeet*
In House Are Bright.
The Atlanta public building bill was
called from the calendar in the senate
Monday afternoon and unanimously
passed that body.
The bill carries an appropriation of
$500,000 for enlarging and otherwise
improving the present federal building
in Atlanta.
The bill will be reported by the
house committee as soon as Colonel
Livingston returns from Georgia, and
the prospects are favorable that the
bill will soon become a law, and the
work on the building will begin during
the summer.
REFUSED TO CONCUR
House Does Not With Sen
ate On Porto Rican Bill.
CHAIRMAN CANNON STANDS FIRM
Imliti On Original Provision —Democrats,
However. Were Willing to Avoid
Further Delay.
A Washington special says: The
house Monday refused to concur in
the senate amendments to the Porto
Rican relief bill. The Democrats sup
ported a motion to concur on the
ground that it would avoid further de
lay in extending relief to the inhabi
tants of the island, but tbe Republi
cans stood firmly behind Chairmau
Cannon in his demand that the house
should insist upon its original provis
ion to appropriate not only the money
collected on Porto Rican goods up to
January Ist, but all sutißequent mon
eys collected or to be collected.
When the Porto Rican appropria
tion bill was called up Mr. Cannon
moved that the house non-concur in
the senate amendments and Mr. Mc-
Rae, of Arkansas, moved concurrence.
Mr. Cannon explained the changes
made in the bill by the senate.
Mr. Mcßae said that the essential
difference between the two bills was
that the houso affirmed the right of
the United to impose the Diugley
rates against Porto Rico, whereas the
senate provision upon this subject was
indefinite.
Members on both sides, be said,
were agreed that the duties collected
on Porto Rican goods should be re
turned, the Democrats taking the po
sition that there should be absolute
i free trade between the island and the
United States. (Democratic applause.)
Mr. Bell, of Colorado, also advo
cated concurrence in the senate
amendments.
Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts, and
Mr. McCleaiy, of Minnesota, advo
cated Mr. Cannon’s motion, declaring
that the Porto Rican tariff bill pro
posed to treat the people of the island
better than the people of any territory
of the United States were ever treated.
Mr. Swanson of Virginia denounced
the Porto Rican tariff bill as “infa
i mous” and said the pending bill to
give back the duties collected under
the Dingley law was an attempt to su
gar-coat the outrage. The power to
fix the duties on goods coming into
and going from this country was tho
i power exercised by England prior to
; tbe revolution an dwas one of the main
reasons why the colonies threw off the
| yoke.
The motion to concur was lost, 86
to 116, a strict party vote, except that
Mr. Thayer, Democrat, of Massachu
setts, voted with the Republicans.
The motion to nou-concur then pre
vailed without division. The speaker
1 appointed Messrs. Cannon, Moody
and Mcßae conferees on the part of
! the house.

BEVERIDGE OFFERS SUBSTITUTE.
I'or The Porto Rican Tariff Bill—ls a
Radical Change.
Senator Beveridge, Republican, of
Indiana, offered the following substi
tute for the Porto Rican tariff bill, in
the Senate Monday:
“All articles coming into the United
States from Porto Rico or going into
Porto Rico from the United States
shall be admitted free of duty, but
this act shall not be construed as ex
tending the legislation of the United
States or any part thereof over Porto
Rico, aud it is hereby declared that
the legislation of the United States is
not extended over Porto Ri'jo.”

General Wlieeler’n Resignation I* Held
In Abeyance By President.
It was semi-officially stated in Wash
ington Tuesday that President McKin
ley will not accept the resignation of
General Joseph Wheeler, bnt that the
Alabamian was offered the command
ership of the lakes at Chicago.
It is now generally regarded by
friends of General Wheeler in the city
that he will not urge the acceptance of
his resignation from the army provided
ho is given a transfer that is agree
able.
It is no longer a secret that he left
Manila ru account of the attitude of
General Otis toward him.
Audacity of a Burtlar.
While n burglar was visiting the flat
of Mrs. H. L. O’Brien he stepped on
the cat’s tail and the animal’s cries
roused the household aud frightened
him away.
In Lite haste to leave the burglar lost

go back and get it himself, he rnng for
the janitor, William Tibbs. “I have
rheumatism,” he said to Tibbs. “Here’s
a quarter. Tlease go up to the third
floor and get my hat. I’ve boon calling
here and I forgot It. It lies beside the
door of flat II.”
The janitor did not hesitate, but went
off laughing aud got the hat. —Chicago
