Governor Pardons Taylor and Finley in Goebel Case
Governor Augustus Willson pardoned W S Taylor and Charles Finley amid the Goebel murder case, releasing them from Indiana where they fled after Goebel's assassination. The pardons follow earlier acts freeing Caleb Powers and James Cloward, with Willson asserting Youtsey bore sole guilt and that no conspiracy existed. The moves end a defining political murder saga in Kentucky history.
