In the afternoon. when Colonel Craw-

character OF Allen Johnson, the wit
ness for the prosecution. He testified
was
INDICTED FOR PRIZE FIGHTING
in Hamilton, under the name of Jones.
He said that Johnson came ITO him and
recalled this fact and then talked to
him about testifying in this case. He
told him a different story about the
movements of Jackson and Pearl Bry-
an at Wahingford's saloon from that
from which Johnson told on the stand.
Attorney Shepherd testified that
johnson followed him around from one
place to another and finally told him
that he might lose his employment if
he testified in the case, and wanted to
know what could be done for him in
case that should happen. He denied
making any offer to him. a number of
dispositions were introduced for the
purpose of breaking down the charac-
ter of George II. Jackson as a witness.
Mrs. Edwin Post. half-sister Of Scott

beside him. She was accompanied by

reputation there was good.
AFTER AN ALIBL
Miss Rose NcNevin, one of the pro-
prietors of the house where Jackson
and Walling lodged. testified concern
ing Jackson's movements every day
during the week of the murder She
accounted for him almost constantly
during that time and said that on the
night of Friday he was in the dining
room with others until 10 o'clock At
that time she went to her room and
heard him go to his room. She read
until midnight and knew that up to
that time Jackson had not left his
room.
A sensational occurrence took place
this afternoon, resulting in a fine Of
So being imposed on Attorney Craw-
ford for contempt of court. While a
discussion was in progress about the
further continuance &c the cross-exam-
ination of Miss Mch evin the Judge
made the remark that this witness
(ldiss McNevin) was unusually posi-
tive in her statement, and he went on
to say that he meant no reflection on
women in general when he said that
no witnesses are
AS POSITIVE AS WOMEN
Crawford said: They are generally
right. are they not?"
You are not sufficiently acquainted
with respectable women to be a
Judge" said Nelson.
Crawford then stated TO the court
that he had been insulled by the coun-
sci for the state, and pointing his fin
ger at Colonel Nelson, said: Il shall
hold you personally responsible for
shat remark
Colonel Nelson responded: q am
responsible"
The court interrupted, directing the
clerk to fine Mr.. Crawford for con-
tempt Of court.
II is due to Colonel Nelson to say
that Immediately after his remark |
which offended Colonel Crawford and
before that gentleman resented it, he |
added:
Il mean no personal reflection upon /
Colonel Crawford"
After court adjourned there was a
lingering about the courtroom to
SEE SOMETHING TRAGICAL.
There were only two tables and a wit |
ness box between Colonel Nelson and |
Colonel Crawford. Colonel Nelson |
arose and remained standing several /
minutes looking toward Crawford. The /
latter was surrounded. by reporters. !
who engaged him until Colonel Nelson {
left the room. Judge Helm called Mel |
son to his room and kept him twenty /
minutes in a consultation
Colonel Nelson then walked home !
Crawford, few minutes later went to |
ms once, accompanied by Colonel /
Ffske OF Covington, Many think Colo I
mel Crawford's fine for contempt viii
be RENTED Monday There is no dis
count of the pluck of either colonel |
in this violent estrangement.
The testimony of the defense was di- !
rected against the colored porter at
Wallingford's saloon and George H.
jackson, the l.egro cab driver. Depo-
sitions from Chief of Police Van Tas-
sci, Prosecuting Attorney Deal, Harri-
son Shields and George w. Fields. all
Of Springfield, O.. where Geor ge Jack
son lived for months, all are damaging
to his reputation for truth and verac-
.ity, while he lived there. The positive
testimony was that of the McNevin
family at whose house Scott Jackson
and AlonZo Walling roomed, and that
OF Pref. Post and his wife and Messrs.
John Morris, A. P. Brockway, T. e. Oar.
rail- and W. j. Grooms of Greencastle
The McNevins testified to Jackson's
presence at his room at midnight, jan
uary 81, and the Greencastle people tes-
titled to his good reputation.
After Colonel Crawford's quasi chal-
lenge. he never once mentioned Colonel
Nelson in addressing the common
wealth. He addressed Mr.. Lockfart.
although Mr.. Nelson did all the exam
lining and arguing. Nelson retorted
tantilizingly, by saying: Mr. Lock
hart objects or "Mr Lockhart con-
