He Admits Everything Except Murder,
Eitherty Completely ar Intention
NEWPORT Ky. May 1.-Only one wit
ness was examined in the Pearl Bryan
murder trial and he was Scott jackson.
All forenoon and afternoon. with very lit
tie questioning. he told how he did not
murder Pearl Bryan and how Walling
must have done the whole thing himself.
His statement admitted his partnership IN
the scheme which brought Pearl Bryan to
Cincinnati for an unlawful purpose, and
also nm active completely with Walling In
dropping the murdered girls clothing into
the Ohio river He told briefly of his ac-
quaintance with Pearl Bryan. He was in
Greencastle from the spring of 1895 until
the middle OF October of thar year and
saw Pearl Bryan often. He admitted IL
licit relations with her during the last
Christmas holidays
jackson stated that he did not know
Pearl Bryan was in Cincinnati till Tues
day, Jan 2S, when he received a note
from her at the dental college, inviting
him TO visit her. All the testimony of the
witnesses - Mrs. Weeks, the spiritual
medium; Mr.. Pinkard. who saw him and
Walling, with Pearl Bryan on College
street the day before the murder and Of
Foretmeyer, who saw him in kentucky
with the girl shortly before, he emphatical-
ly branded as untrue.
He admitted taking Pearl Bryan to
Wallingford's saloon in the tenderloin
district, but says IL was on Tuesday night,
Jan. 20. instead Of Friday, Jan. 81, the
night before the murder. as testified by
Wallingford. He said Walllng agreed to
relieve the girl secretly, and when all was
over and she was fit to be returned home
would turn her over to the witness. He
says he took her valise-the one afterward
found stained inside with blood-carried
1t to his room on Tuesday afternoon, tried
to return it on Wednesday, but could not
find Walling, to whom he intended to
give 1t.
He said that on Saturday night of the
day the body was found he and Walling
dropped some clothing into the river
which Walling. without further explana-
ton, told him was unsafe to keep in their
room. When he made inquiry about the
matter Walling told him to ask no ques-
tions. When called upon to explain why he
participated in hiding Pearl Bryan's cloth
ing he said he was actuated by fear that the
part he had taken TO bring her here to
save Will Wood might implicate him.

of electricity generated by the waters of
the Niagara river in the great power
house of the Niagara Power company
which current of electricity will be trans.
mitted over an ordinary telegraph wire OF
the Western Union company. The in
sulation of this line is such that no con.
siderable amount Of electrical energy for
power purposes can be transmitted, but
by the use Of the recently invented two.
phase Tesla system enough energy will
be transmitted TO establish beyond ques
tion it is claimed, the feasibility of long
distance electric power transmission upon
a commercial basis. This line will be 426
fore ever established was from the falls
of the Necker TO point ITO miles distant.

5000 feet In length, entered by wheel pit
1856 feet in depth, at the bottom of which
are mammoth turbine wheels operating a
shaft, on the top of which are immense
electrical generators with capacity of
5000 horse power. The total weight of

In Democratic Circles.

There has been a great deal of talk about
a bolt from the Democratic party in case
the gold men obtain the upper hand in the
making of the platform, but as the day of
the convention draws nearer the bolt be-
comes smaller and smaller. According to
the expectations of the party leaders here
the danger is now confined to two or three
states. South Carolina, under the leader
ship of Senator Tillman, would probably
join the silver party. Texas might do so
also, or, strictly speaking, part of the
party in that state might desert the Chi
cago ticket. These are believed to be the
only states in the south in which there
would be formal bolt, though I'm several
others a large proportion of the voters
might temporarily join the Populist or
silver party. Some OF the mountain states
might leave the Democracy, too, and swell
the majority of the third party tickets
Indeed the Republican leaders, and the
Democrats as well, are counting upon a
pretty large third party vote both in the
electoral college and In the next house of
representatives. But in neither body is IL
likely to obtain the balance of power.
IL the Cleveland Democrats obtain con-
troll of the Chicago convention the chief
direct Issue between the parties will be the
old question of the tariff, and AS between
those parties the fight will be along the
traditional lines. Interest will then center
