Assassination at the State House
The Kentucky Conspiracy
The Commonwealth of Kentucky was thrown into political turmoil over the election of its governor in 1899 and the winner's murder. The republican candidate, William S. Taylor, first appeared to win the election by a narrow margin, but the votes were challenged by his opponent, William Justice Goebel, who eventually won the seat by the act of the legislature. Tensions ran high in the days before his inauguration as these Kentuckians took their politics seriously. Deadly seriously.
