WILLSON HANDS OUT PARDONS. Former Governor Taylor and Others May Return to Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky. Governor Willson late Friday afternoon granted pardons par-dons to former Governor W. S. Taylor Tay-lor and former Secretary of State Charles Finley, both refugees in Indiana, In-diana, charged with complicity in the murder of William Goebel In 1900. Pardons were also granted to John Powers, brother of Caleb Powers, who is believed to be in Honduras; to Holland Whittaker, John Davis and Zaoh Steele, under indictment, and who did not flee the state. Those over whom indictments are left hanging are Wharton Golden, now in Colorado; Frank Cecil, a railroad rail-road detective in St. Louis, and William Wil-liam H. Culton, said to have died in the west a few months ago. These cases, with the possible exception of that of Cecil, will be dismissed, leaving leav-ing Henry E. Youtsey, now serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary, peniten-tiary, the only person to suffer for the killing of oGebel.
