CtwKChtrlt ord of For nlle THE OUSBEDNE8B OP OOEBEI AND THE LAWLESSNESS OP TAYLOR The Democratic newspapers of In dlana have been earnest and untiring in their protestations to Gov Durbln of their State against tho course hi has taken and continues to take in I the matter of refugee Taylor who Is I a fugitive from Kentucky Justice Gov Durbin not only persists in ulf defiance of the plain mandate of the law especially made and provided for such cases but outrages every prln clple of right and Justice by his con tlnuapcc of a policy which renders Inoperative oue of the strongest clauses of our great Constitution Paragraph 2 of Section II of the Fourth Article of the Federal Con stltution says A person charged in any State with treason felony or other crime who hall flee from justice and be found In another State chill on demand of the esecutlre authority of the State from which be fled be delivered up to be reo moved to the State having jurisdiction of the crime Upon two separate and distinct occasions invested with all the authorIty which the act requires Gov Beck ham has demanded of Gov Durbln that he deliver up Taylor to the proper Kentucky authorities that he might be tried upon the charge of complicity in the assassination ol Gov Goebel Each time the sacred writ was Ignored Gov Durbins excuse for his refusal to grant the demands of the writ was that he did not believe that Taylor woulfl get a fair trial In Kentucky and furthermore that he did not believe he was guilty anyhow Nevertheless this provision of the Constitution Is mandatory It is the duty of the Governor of a State where felons and traitors seek refuge to give them up It is not for him to decide whether they are guilty or Innocent His opinion In the matter is not asked for nor expected The Constitution gives him no jurisdiction over the question which must be determined in the State where the crime was committed Recently the Rockport Indiana Jkmocrut contained a strong editorIal censuring Gov Durblns action In the Taylor matter and excoriating him for hIs refusal to obey the plain edict of the Constitution under which he lives and Is supposed to conduct the affairs of his once Replying to that editorial and classing the editor of the Jkmncrut with the Goebelltes of Kentucky the Rockport Indiana Joumul says They know Governor Taylor had nothing to do with the killing of the unprincipled scoundrel who was trying to rob him of his office and all this hue and cry about the assassination by Republicans Is made and kept up only to draw attention from the cuticdness of Goebel ands his baud of anarchists And so the Democrats of Kentucky know that Taylor had mlhiny to do with the killing of Governor Goebel do they How many of them know It or even think ItV Is there a single Kentucky Democrat who will come out over his own signature and say any such thing We hardly think so If the editor of the Journal Is a conscientious and fairminded man and not knowing him we cannot aver otherwise and will come to Kentucky and Investigate Into the assassination of Wm Goebel wa believe he will have every reason to lnote that Taylor did have something to do with the killing of Mr Goebel We will not ask him to take the word of Democrats for it Wo will refer hIm to the sworn testimony of men high up in tho councils and esteem of the Re publican party of Kentucky These men say that Taylor knew of every murderous detail Then wo will ask him to go to the plain history of events In our Stato at the time of Mr Goebels murder and see If ho can glean from them anything that points to Taylor us having any pre Ious knowledge of or anything to do with Win Goebelti taking off Who brought the mountain feudlstH to Frankfort a thousand strong Who Issued orders fur soldiers who barred the entrance to thu legislative hall and at the point of whose bayonets the Kentucky Leglsla ture was dispersed Who adjourned the General Assembly to meet at London Laurul county the hotbed of the feudists section Who gave orders Immediately after Mr Gocbels assassination forbidding that any search bo made around the Capl tol buildings for the assassins Who suspended the writ of IIIIIJCIll mrjnu In violation of Section II 1 of the First Article of the Constitution which declares this writ Ahull not be suspended save In cases of Invasion or rebellIon neither of which conditions existed at the time After lie has answered these simple questions und thor oughly looked Ipto the mutter wu will then ask him Whawui mainly fiwlru mental in lilt imtnler of Wm Qotltl and the protection cf hit astattlntt We dare him to take an honest conscldnco wIth I I him and answer that question Tho animus tho Incentive the cause of this hatred and murder ol Gov Goobcl is contained In the clos lag accusation of the above para graphthe cussedness of Goebel and his band of anarchists Ah yes Tc be surd The cussedness of Goebcll Was there ever anything like It except perhaps the lawlessness of Taylor What did his cussedness consist of Had ho In this ease violated the law in any way Rather had lie not stuck strictly to the letter of the law Can anybody truthfully say otherwise Gov Goebels solo offense In this case was that ho dared to be a claImant In the lawful way for the Gover norship and that propcrauthorltlcE had granted him this claim This was the sum and substance of his cussedness For this and nothing else was ho assassinated The editor of the Rockport Journal lives In Indiana where the spirit ol resistance to the proper processes ol the law seems to be more manifest among Republican otllulols than It I here We Invite him to come for visit to Kentucky where we may fallout and fight sometimes but where the scales of blind Justice untouched by the finger of a perjured and craven Governor generally strike an even balance a State where political CUB sedness may crop out once In awhile but whose chief executive would scorn to shield the murderer of one ol Indianas humblest citizens Come and bring Taylor and Charles Finley with youl THE Republican leaders of Kentucky are basing their only hope for victory at the coming election upon the dissatisfaction of Democrats and the possible addition to their ranks of a few voters who value pelf more than party If by any ruse or decep Lion they can get a few hundred Democrats to forsake their party and vote for Belknap tliey hope to supplement this acquisition to party strength with whatever their barrel of boodle will buy No true Democrat will be deceived by these tactics There bless reason for a Democrat to vote against his partys nominees this year than ever before In fact there Is no reason whatever Democrats are always Independentsometimes too much sobut there are no Independent voters In the ranks this year GovDunmNof Indlanahas written an article entitled The Mob and the Law published in the Independent and President Roosevelt has come out over his own signature and praised Durbln for the part he took In the recent riot at Evansville The purpose Roosevelts effusion Is well understood as an open bid for the negro vote but what a travesty upon Jus Lice and duty is it fur a man like Durbin who defies the great Constltu Lion to undertake to write upon the province of The Law The man who purposely Ignores the highest edict of law Is hardly good authority upon the lesser forms of popular Jurisprudence THE word Independent sometimes has personal charm about it that is alluring to some people It carries with It the Idea that practic ing thlssplrlt they are more the possessors of opinions of their own than other people This however Is hardly ever the case The Republican leaders arc using this word for all It Is worth I I this year They arc tossing boquets at Democrats by calling them Independent voters In this way they hope to win over a few sccalled Independents No loyal Democrat will pe caught by any such chaff LOUISVILLES two Republican tallies are making a big stir about ov Beckhams pardon record but its quite certain that neither they nor their followers would object to a pardon from Gov Beckham for Powers Howard Bill Taylor et al If the oc evasion demanded it Would they THE story conies over the wires and Is duly printed In the newspapers that President Roosevelt slept out In the grass one night recently and also that the new Pope took a walk In the garden of the Vatican The public Is getting almost surfeited with this plethora of unimportant news IT Is announced by Republican papers that the two queen Its or king bugs llelknap und Doodle will soon start out to make a personal canvass of Kentucky It Is expected that a great noise will go up In order to make these IVs settle TELL a fellow ho has big head and hell become offended Inform

in this trial has crowned his face and an ashen hue took its place He was more vlslblj affected than he has been at any time since the trial was begun and did not completely recover himself before ad journment of court The story told by Yontsey and sup ported by the document with Powers signature attached Is that in the Louisville jail on January 28 1901 he signed an affidavit to be used only for the purpose of influencing Repub licans of the Court of Appeals to reverse the Scott Circuit Court and grant Powers a new trial In that affidavit he made the false statement that he knew of nothing ot an incriminating nature against Powers but in banding it to the defendant he Yontsey required him tc sign a statement that he waived the truth or falsity of the affidavit executed by Youtsey and promised never tc make it public or present it in any court and agreed to return it tc Yontsey within fifteen days that i it might be destroyed This written agreement signed by Powers was filed by Yonteey in support of his statements regarding it and was made a part of the evidence in the case and read to the jury The document is in full ae follows TIlE AGREEMENT 4 This agreement made and

further states that his affidavit is made voluntarily and of his own free will and ac cord and that one purpose thereof is to refute and contradict the rumors and publications which have from time to time been current that this affiant knew or knows facts tending to connect the said Powers with the commission of saId murder This affiant now states that never at any time did he nor does he now know of any fact or circumstance which eIther directly of indirectly remotely or otherwise connected or connects the said Caleb Powers with the killing or injury of said Goebel or any knowledge thereof that so far as this affiant knows said Caleb Powers is absolutely innocent of any kuowl edge that the murder or any harm to the said Goebel was contemplated and that this affiant knows of no fact nor has he any information from any source that said Powers had or has any knowledge or intimation of who fired tho shot that killed said Geobel nor when said shot was fired Affiant further states that this affida pit is based upon a strong Impression and belief in his mind that said Pow ers is innocent of the crime of which he is charged and makes the affidavit in the interest of justice It is agreed and stipulated that the affidavit of which above is a copy shall not be published in any way nor used in court and that the same shall be reo turned to the said Youtsey by February 16 1001 also
