Taylor, too, was suspected of having previous knowledge of the assassination of Goebel, his Democratic rival for the office of chief executive of the state, but he escaped the boundaries and finally located in the Indiana city, where has been practicing law. The career of Taylor as governor was not exciting. Taylor lived down in long, hut it Butler county, Ky. He was born there in 1833 and was married there to Sarah Taun 23 years later.
