EVIDENCE AGAINST JACKSON.


CRcrNNAT1 Feb. 2l.-Thc developments
in the Fort Thomas horror advanced a few
paces yesterday Young Wood, who has
heretofore been so rcticent, repeated from
memory two letters that he had received
from Jackson, one dated Jan. % and an
other dated Feb g. He says that these
letters were shown to his friends at Green
castle, among them Early, the operator,
aud DIR. r. G. Gillespie, the dentist at
Greencastle
The following is part of the first letter,
as nearly as Wood can recollect It.:
Hello, Bill. Well, for business Tell
Bort to come on. ! have very nice room
with nice old lady. A friend of Wallng
is going to do the work, an old hand at tho
business We go to his home tonight for
supper He is q chemist. / think l will
have enough money, but tell Bert to bring
all she can, for it may come handy Tell
her to leave G. c. so as to get here Monday
night Tell her she can go home in four
or five days Push it along. Don't go
back on me now, when am this near out
of my trouble. BE sure and burn this as
soon as read"
The next letter, which Wood said he re-
ceived from Jackson, he reproduces from
memory as nearly literal as possible in the
following words:
Hello, Bill. BE awful careful what you
say. am expecting trouble. Oh, Lord
stand by me. Do you think Doc Wilt
/ Write him. made big mistake and it's
/ going to get me into trouble. Don't for
sake me now. Now is when l need you
most. Write Doc. He'll stand up for me
won't he? Say, Bill, wish l mad nevel
seen that girl and never seen G. G. d.
my tough luck, anyway. BE sure and burr
this Immediately. Don't let any one Sc,
it. Now Billy, stand by your old chum.
Wood burned all the letters That o
Feb seems damaging from the fact tha
Wood knew at that time that the girl hat
been murdere1at Fort Thomas. Further
than this he would not say.
