NEWPORT, KY, April 3-Jaier John
Bitter has drawn another dead line" in the
jail at Newport. II was drawn for Walling.
When Jackson was placed in his cell a
dead line" was drawn, over which none of
the prisoners in the jail could step, and in
this way all communication with the pris-
oner was prevented. This was not necessary
in Walling's case, because he was on the
second floor. and no one could get near
him. Afterward the jailer decided to allow
the men TO take daily exercise. The hall in
which Walling paraded is longer than Jack
sons. and he had the benefit of a window
overlooking Southgate street.
Walling became venturesome, and would
reach out his arms between the bars and
wave his hands at people. IL a woman
passed and gave him a glance. it was the
signal for violent waving of handker-
chief. The fellow made strenuous efforts TO
fiirt, and seemed disappointed when he cid
not get any answering wave of the hand.
The matter was reported to Jailer Bitter.
He gave Walling severe lecture. and then
drew the dead line This line was drawn
several feet from the window, and the best
Walling can do now is to look out from a
distance. If ne attempts to step across the
line it means steady Imprisonment in his
cell until the day of trial. All day Thursday
a photographer kept his place at convent
ent spot, ready to snap the murderer the
moment he made an effort to attract atten-
ton. but the photographer was doomed to
disappointment. The rule was already in eff
feet.
