THE BLOOD-STAINED COAT.
The other letters were OF little interest.
Edward Anthony. newspaper reporter. tes-
titled that the coat found In the catch basin
and identified Jackson's, was wrapped
in a newspaper dated Jan. s. This is in con-
tradiction of the testimony given by detec-
tive witte, who said that the paper was
dated Feb. 9. Anthony also testified to his
interviews with jackson after he was ar
rested but nothing in them amounted to
admission of guilt.
Detective Witte was recalled and said that
by consulting memorandum he found Jack
sons coat was found. not on the 11th, but
on the 7th of February. and therefore. he
was mistaken in saying that the newspaper
wrapped about 1t was dated Feb. 9.
Charles s. vickers was called and ques-
toned by Colonel Lockhart. He is clerk

Assistant Police Surgeon French, Of Gin
cinnati. was next called. He said that on
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 8, Scott Jackson's
coat. found in the sewer. was given to him.
That day and the next he examined IT Tor
blood stains. The first test was not satisfac-
tory. He made another test which showed
crystals similar to those found in blood.
'sWere the stains made by blood?
Eyes, by blood that corresponded with
human blood"
The witpess said he made many tests OF
stains on the collar and various parts OF the
coat. and there was no doubt that the stains
were blood. Upon cross examination he
would not say that II was human blood.
