a settlement was reached which is declared
to be satisfactory to both sides. Wilhelms,

GREENCASTLE, Ind, Apri, has
never been more excitement in Greencastle
over the Bryan murder case than to-day,
with the exception of the night when the
first news became public that Pearl Bryan
was the victim found at Fort Thomas and
that Scott Jackson was suspected or the
murder. This quiet college town has again
been haken to its center by the incidents
of the trial as the evidence is read and the
story of the brutal murder is again tod by
witnesses. 1t is thought here that there is a
lot of hidden evidence that has never been
talked Of that will be sprung. and a belief
is also prevalent that there will be some
sensational social developments. Especially
Is this expected in the testimony of Will
Wood. the minister's son. who left here this
morning for Newport.
IL Is a matter of much qualification here
that the trial is making such rapid progress.
The feeling of Greencastle people when the
case was before the Cincinnati courts was
that there was too much delay. and That
pans were being made whereby justice could
be defeated: hence there is much gratifica-
ton over the prompt action of the Ken
lucky court. People here who have read the
later day murder cases, their delays. ETC.,
feared that the Jackson trial would be a
drag: therefore the securing of a jury the
first day was a great surprise. The Green
castle delegation left for Newport this morn
ing. OF the number were Will Wood and
DIR. Edward Post, the latter a relative or
