After Sixteen Years in Jail He
Asks For Pardon on Conviction
In The Goebel Murder Cases
FRANKFORT, Ky., April 4.—Henry
E. Youtsey’s application for freedom
eame after sixteen years spent in jail
and prison cells during which time
hundreds Os persons of every political
faith have labored to secure his lib
erty. Prominent among those active in
his behalf for many years was Mrs. J.
Can trill, widow of Judge J. E. Can
trill who occupied the bench in the
Franklin Circuit Court during the stir
ring times following the murder of
Governor William Goebel in the winter
of 1900.
Under the administration of Gover
vr William C. Bradley, Yout
sey was employed in the < ffice of the
State Auditor and it was gnown that he
was to be secretary to Governor W. S.
Taylor in the event the latter defeated
Goebel in the gubernatorial race in
1899. Taylor was given the certificate
©f election but a contest was filed and
Frankfort became the rendezvous
for numerous mountaineers, adherents
©f Taylor. The Goebel faction said
these men were brought here to intimi
date Democrats who were pushing the
Goebel contest before the Legislature.
The state capitol was surrounded by
state troops ordered here by Governor
Taylor and practically everybody in
Frankfort went about armed.
■While walking to the capitol in com
pany with Colonel Jack Chinn and Col -
onel Eph Lillard on the morning of
January 30, 19100, a shot fired from an
office of the State House struck Goe
be! in the breast and he fell into th?
arms of Col. Jack Chinn.
Youtsey, Caleb Powers, then secre
tary of state and later congress
man from the eleventh Kentucky dis
trict, and "Jim” Howard were convict-
F'* of complicity in the assassination

Captain Garnett D. Ripley and Berry
were acquitted and Governor Taylor
fied to Indiana, where he has since re
mained, a fugitive from justice, until
pardoned by Governor A. E. Wilson.
Caleb Powers and Howard spent sev
eral years in jail fighting through mis
trials and appeals upntil pardoned by
Governor Wilson.
Youtsey did not appeal from the life
sentence imposed by the Scott Circuit
Court to which his case was transefr
■ red and since remained a fugitive
from justice until pardoned by Gov
ernor A. E. Wilson. Caleb Powers
and Howard spent several years in
jail fighting through mistrials and
appeals until pardoned by Governor
J Willison.
Youtsey did not appeal from the life
sentence imposed by the Scott Cir
cuit court to which his case was trans
it rred and since his conviction in 1900
he has been confined in the State Re
formatory at Frankfort.
It was charged that the day before
the assassination he was seen in the
office of the Secretary of State with a
peculiar pattern of rifle and immediate
ly after the shot was fired it was als >
'charged he ran from the building cry
ing "Goebel is shot.” He suffered a ner
| vous collapse in court, his condition
delaying the case several days and
probaly preventing the Infliction of the
i death penalty though he confessed his
part in the conspiracy to put Goebel
cut of the way. He always maintain
; ed, however, that he did not fire the
shot.
Goebel was declared elected by the
legislature the day after he was shot
and on his death bed was sworn in as
governor. He died February 3, and
Senator J. C. W. Beckham, who was
IHE AMLKICUS DAILY 11MES-KECORDER
elected lieutenant governor on the ■
ticket with Goebel became governor, j
Youtsey was arrested almost im- ]
mediately after the shooting and on J
account of the intense feeling he was.
I taken to Georgetown for trial. He,
was convicted in the spring of 1900,1
three months after the assassination,!
land came immediately to the peniter.-
' tiary.
In prison Y’outsey has been stenog
. rapher in the office of the warden, a
teacher in the night school and a
leader in religious work inside the (
walls.
■ SAYS HOT WATER ’
I WASHES POISONS '
FROM THE LIVER '
;l Everyone should drink hot water j
with phosphate in it, J
before breakfast
To feel as fine as the proverbial fid
dle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre ■
vent its sponge-like pores from clog-j
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
If you get headaches, it’s your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it’s your liver,
i If you wake up with a bad taste, fur
i red tongue, nasty breath or stomach
becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Youri
liver is the most important, also the
most abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is a ,
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also at- ~
tacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be- ■'
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water \
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous day’s indigestible,
material, the poisons, sour bile and'
| toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening'
I and freshening the entire alimentary j
canal before putting more food into,
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re I
slrict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and!
you can eat anything afterwards. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
and any pharmacist will sell you a
quarter pound, which is sufficient for]
| a demonstration of how hot water and ■
• limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates
I and freshens the liver, keeping your
feeling fit day in and day out.

Why Shamed by
Blotchy Skin
If you are a sufferer from Eczema or
unsightly pimply skin, you know just what
it means to have that humiliating, back
ward feeling about meeting strangers and
oftentimes friends. Many a time you have
looked into the mirror and wished that
your skin would he like other people that
you know, "without a blemish.” This wish:
can be yours for the asking. If you will
go to the druggist and procure a bottle of
D. I). D„ the greatest of all skin remedies,
apply it according to directions, in a short
time your skin will be as soft as velvet.
Come in and ask for a bottle today on
our money-back guarantee. Ask also about
D. D. D. Soap, that keeps the skin healthy.
