CINCINNATI, Feb. 1O.-Though the police
officers of the two states continue a most
vigilant search for further discriminating
evidence against the two students who are
accused of the brutal murder of Pearl
Bryan, the labor of today brought them
little reward. The most that can be said is
that they found few more threads lead
ing into the tangled skein. As to the man.
ner of the murder, nothing mord is known
tonight than was known last night.
Although Jackson and Waiiing have each
retained more lawyers, they cannot be re-
strained on legal advice from talking.
When the bloody coat found in sewer
was taken to the Jail today it precipitated
another controversy between the prisoners.
The ccat fitted jackson and was much too
small for Walling, but jackson claimed
they roomed together and Walling wore
his room mates clothes on the night OF the
murder. Jackson identified the coat as
his but said Walling wore it when he MUIR
dered Pearl.
Wa,llng admits the blood-stained razor
belongs to him, but says Jackson took 1t
for his bloody work.
Among the effects found near the body
is a bloody shirt sleeve. If Walling wore
Jackson's coat. his shirt sleeve would have
protruded so as to have been easily torn
off in the murderous struggle with the un-
fortunate girl. Three rings were found in
O sewer near where Jackson's coat was
found, but an unknown man got away
with them, and the search for the rings Is
as vigorous as for the head.
The Bryan family at Greencastle report
that Pearl wore three rings when she left
home in January. None were found on tie

amined and the work on the Dayton sand
bar for the head continues. An examina-
ton of the records at the dental college
show that jackson and Walling were pres
ent as usual on Thursday, January 3Oth,
but neither one was in attendance on Fri
against both of the suspects gets stronger
every day. Circumstantial evidence is ac-
cumulating and their feeling against each
other grows more intense. The authorities
waited until midnight for Miss Hollings-
worth from Indianapolis and others, but
they will not arrive till tomorrow.
AN EPIDEMIC OF CONFESSION
INDIANNroL1s, Ind, Feb. 1O.-Late this
afternoon Miss Hollingsworth talked more
freely. She said:
"When Pearl went through here on Tues
day she told me she was coming back and
accordingly she arrived on Thursday night.

Illinois street."
"What was the name of the hotel?"
II am not prepared to state"
"When did you see her next?"
II got up at o'clock on Friday morning
and went to the hotel. There met Pearl
and at 10 90 o'clock she took the train for
Cincinnati and went back"
/ 1t appears from what Miss Hollings-
worth and the trainmen said that Pearl
Bryan was sick when she took the train,
| and the police believe that the drugs were
! administered in this city. Miss Hollings-
worth refused to state whether Walling
was with Pearl on her return here.
Miss Hollingsworth made another al
legged confession tonight. She says the
death of Pearl Bryan was caused by an
abortion and that it was per-
formed in a stairway in this city.
Miss Hollingsworth says that she
performed the abortion in this city
at the request of Miss Bryan. She also
claims to have received letter from Jack
son in which he explains how and where
the woman was decapitated. In the letter,
