Scott Jackson has been offered a total of
thousands of dollars if he will tell where
the head of Pearl Bryan may be found but
he has refused all offers, after a seemingly
long deliberation. He evidently fears some
trick. He has received offers as high as
$1,000 from the Cincinnati newspapers. One
reporter, in an effort to tempt him, offered
to hand him $4,000 in gold If he would con-
fess all, but the prisoner only answered:

Jail guards Hauser and Mitchell learned
Friday that jackson had been seen in
certain neighborhood with a valise on the
Monday following the finding Of the body.
The man who gave the Information came
with the big crowd that visited the jail to-
day, but when the guards wanted to question
MIN about his statement he suddenly left
the prisoner. Both Mitchell and Hauser
worked to get Jackson TO tell more about
