Tfir YOFTHKY TRIAL
The Youtsey trial, at Georgetown. Ky ,
Is becoming very painful to unbiased spec
tators at a distance, it pt possible that
he helped to kill Goebel. He may be a
•iouble-dyed villain. Neither thing, how
j ever, has been proved. Under th* Ameri
can system, the law presumes a man in
f norent until his guilt has been declared
by n Jury of his peers, after due process.
In the ©ye of the law. therefore. Youtsey
is an Innocent man. resting however un
der one of th© most serious charges known
to the criminal code. But the accusa
tion against him should not operate to
shut him out from human© considerations

and th© farce of subjecting him to ex
amination on the stand Is gone through
whh. Asa matter of course he doe* not
answer, because he Is bereft of reason an 1
sensibility Still the presiding Judge re
fuses to adjourn the trial. The man's
life Is at stake; he is lying unconscious
upon his led and cannot defend himself.
He cannot face his accuser*. The wit
nesses against him are privileged to at
tribute to him whatsoever conversation or
action they may |l©s*©. and he can
not refute It. They may swear his life
away, and he cannot even raise his voice
In protest. Is ’hat American justice? Is
that fhe sort of thing that Is contem
plated In our bill of rights?
It may b© that Youtsey is shamming
If so. no conclusive evidence to that ef
fect has ever been presented to the court,
on the other hind, there has been
great deal of evidence going to show
I that hi# unconscious condition Is not as
suin©l but real The law throws many

William Savage took all his apple crop
to the mill two weeks ago and had it
ground into cider, sav* a Plantovllle.
Conn., special to the New York World
Mr Savage hate# hard cider. He think*
it Is "tarnation stuff" and he "doesn't
i < ablate to have anything tew dew with
j it. mow, truly.” Therefore he took coun
sel with the wise old men of the village
la# to how he could keep it sweet and
j h.:rm!es.-
"Teil ye what ye dew. naow,” said the
wl*M( man. “Jest tlx her up good 'n*

( William Hava*© hurried horn** an l spent

i hi* cellar.
| The cider went right on fermenting
| It happened about 1 o'clock this mom-
I ing There was roar in the Savage
cellar as of a great gun, then another,
| nml still two more Ail the village came
out on the run.
"Dynamitin' th* post office, proh’ly,"
yelled half a doxen cltloans Hut all the
old wls© men wagged their whiskers with
Joy awl rushed toward the Savage house
fast that they sounded like a flight of
runaway Aeolian harps. Boon all the clti*
; eens followed them
From within the house came the sound
| <yf a great splashing. It was William
Ravage rescuing hi* wife, who had gone
to satisfy her curiosity and found herself
in a swirling floor of cider. He led her to
the front door and together they faced
thefr neighbors.
"Did ye hurt ye much. William?” -k

haw-hawed
"No. dra? ye. I didn't," Mr Savag©
made answer, “hut I know what I'll do to

The crowd guffawed so heartily that the
