CAR BUILDERS STRIKE.
Two Hundred Men at the Ensign Shops Go
Out Against Reduction.

Out Against heuuction'
Special to the Register.
Huntington, w. Va, May 14.-At the
erecting department of the Ensign Man
ufacturing Company 200 car builders
went on a strike this morning. For
some time the carpenters have been
erecting Norfolk & Western cars and
have been paid SIC per car. When they
completed the Norfolk & Western con-
tract and began work on the cars OF
the Ohio River Railroad they were no.
tilted that the price for these cars would
be reduced to SIS. This the car builders
objected to, and, as a result, the union
called a special meeting last night to
take action in the matter. There was a
good attendance, and, after talks from
various members, it was decided TO ap-
point committee to call upon the su-
perintendent and notify him that unless
the former price was restored they
would strike. Accordingly Superinten-
dent Hennion was notified this morn
ing and. as the company failed to grant
their request, they refused to go 10
90 TO work. The car builders claim
that there is more labor necessary on
the Ohio River cars than on the n. &
W. cars.

DALLYING WITH BILL.DAVE.

The Republican County Committee of
Kanawha Said to he Jollying Him Along
Till II is Too Late to Call Convention.
Special 10 the Register
Charleston. w. Va. May 14.-It is ru-
mored that Bill Dave Goshorn has made
a deal with the Republican committee
of Kanawha. by the terms of which his
name is to be placed on the ticket TO be
voted on at the coming Republican pri-
mary election. A prominent Republi-
can remarked to the Register CORE
spondent to-day, with a grin and a
wink that it pays to be a member of
the Republican county committee this
year" 1t is said the Staunton faction
are amazed at this sudden turn of af-
fairs and will try to hold the committee
horns name off the ticket. Neither
Goshorn nor Staunton admit that the
county committee has been fixed in the
manner above indicated. 1t is believed
in some quarters that the committee is
only playing with Goshorn; that they
will try to make him believe that they
will put his name on the ticket till it is
too late to call county convention, and
then they will have the willy Bill Dave
where they want him. But Bill Dave
is not often caught mapping. Whether
:he committee has or has not been seen
and fixed for Goshorn will develop with
in the next three days.

He GETS HIS JUST DESERTS.
Scott Jackson, the Murderer Of Pearl
Bryan, Must Die.

The Jury, After Bries Deliberation,
Decides He is Guilty and Fixes
the Penalty at Death-An Ashen
Paleness Was the Only Indication
Of Emotion on the Part of the
Prisoner - Pearl Bryan's Father
and Brother Present.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1896-05-15

Newport, KY, May 14.-At 1905 the
jury returned to the court room with a
verdict. Amid deathlike stiffness the
foreman handed the verdict to the
clerk, who read as follows:
We, the jury, find the defendant.
Scott Jackson, guilty of murder in the
first degree and fix the penalty at
DEATH"
The judge had previously announced
that no demonstration of approval or
disapproval would be permitted. Depu-
ties were placed throughout the room
with instructions to bring before the
court any person disobeying this in
struction to be punished for contempt.
Consequently the verdict was heard
with silence, but Immediately upon the
adjournment of court the spectators
rushed to the jurors and shook their
hands heartily. They also shook each
approval of the verdict of the jury.
Jackson himsef received his doom with
no manifestation Of emotion except an
ashen paleness of the face. None of
his relatives were present. The aged
father of Pearl Bryan and her brother,
Fred Bryan, were present when the
verdict was rendered.
The usual motion for a new trial was
made and then Jackson was taken
away to Jail. He had been surrounded
by half dozen or more officers when
the jury came in, and went out under
their protection, although there was
no demonstration to indicate a neces-
sity for so much care. The general inn
preston is that the verdict was right.
In anticipation of trouble in the event
of a disagreement or of acquittal, the
commonwealth had arranged for a spe-
cial train to transfer Walling, as we'll
as Jackson, to the State penitentiary
at Frankfort. This train was in wait
ing until noon, and no one knew any
thing of it except the officers and rail-
way officials.
In long interview Jackson admits
his surprise over the verdict and claim
ed that he had proven an alibi. He
still maintains his innocence and says
that Walling killed Pearl Bryan. The
prisoner is greatly depressed over the
verdict, and in his interview could not
suppress his despondent feeling. Wall
ing has also been interviewed since the
verdict and expresses his satisfaction.
He still maintains that Scott Jackson
killed the girl, and in his interview re-
peatedly stated that Jackson deserved
hanging.
Greencastle, Ind, May 14.-Scott
Jackson's mother, Professor and Mrs.
Post and other relatives arrived here
last night after the close OF the trial at
Newport, Ky. They received a tele-
gram to-day at noon that Scott Jack
son was convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. Mrs. Jackso, the mother Of
the condemned man, is prostrated, and
every one here sympathizes with her,
although there is general rejoicing at
the home of the Bryans over the ver-
dict. Later il was learned that Judge
Helm would hear arguments at New
port Saturday, May %, on motions for
new trial.
1t is expected that the Bryans and
their friends will again go to New
