and the young man was then studying
medicine. He naturally left the medic"l
college and presently married beautiful
woman.
All went well in the magnificent home
which he fitted up until Duestrow began
TO imbibe too freely of intoxicants. At
tentlsnt vices, added to his growing love
of LIQUOR, brought wretchedness to his
wife. and made of the handsome. refined
and cultsred young husband a brute, a
drunkard and rake. The arrival of a
baby in the unhappy household did not
seem to mend matters, and Duestrow con-
tinued in his evil ways, going step by step
farther into the depths of vice and wick
edness.
Things were thus on Feb. Is, 1894. A
servant of the family. Katie Hahn, testi-
fed as to the occurrences of that eventful
day, when the cruel husband became the
slayer of his wife and his child.
Duestrow went out and as usual ''got a
Jag on" in vulgar parlance. The liquor
had evidently gone to his head and arous-
ed some demon there, for he went home
and picked quarrel with his wife and
began to abuse the servant. Katie Hahn.
When he threatened to strike the latter
his wife interfered. "Strike me il you
must strike some one" she said. "All
right" responded the brute, and he pro-
ceeded to carry out her suggestion. Twice
he struck her and then ran from the room.
Back In an instant with revolver, he
fourished II in a manner that scared the
servant out of the room. Then she heard
a shot. She ran up stairs and heard an
other. Down she ran again and as she
passed the door she saw her mistress

Duestrow that the belief was general that
he would get off lightly.
Insanity was the first plea on which
the defense based their hopes. BY the
law of Missouri, if the sanity Of person
charged with murder is questioned jury
must first decide the matter before the
accused can be placed on trial for the
murder. Over a year ago this question
was submitted to jury, whose members
could not agree. Then another jury was
picked out and lawyers and experts ar

gued and wrangled and did their best to
get the jurymen ratified. But when the
latter were finally given the question to
decide they agreed to man that Dues
trOw was sane.
Then came the trial of the prisoner on
the charge of murder. This trial was he'll
last September and, as in the case of the
first sanity investigation, the jury dis
agreed. About a month ago the case again
came to trial. with the result, as above
stated, of conviction of murder In the
first degree, which, in this State, calls
for the death penalty. An appeal will

surrounded by mystery. sorrow and hor-
ror that the smallest details have been
eagerly read and discussed. Ministers
have preached about it. Thousands of
prayers have been sent up for those con-
nected with it, and its awful lessons so
savagely enforced are being repeated in
every household and are carrying their
warnings to young men and young wom-
en- everywhere.
Jackson and Walling, the young medi-
cal students accused of the crime, are
securely jailed at Newport, Ky, and the
officers now claim TO have a complete
chain of evidence against them from the
time Pearl Bryan went from Greencastle,
Ind, Monday. Jan. %, until Friday night,
Jan. 81, when she was murdered in a Sc
cluded spot between Fort Thomas and
Newport, Ky. Each of the prisoners de-
nies guilty knowledge of the brutal deed
and declares the other to be the murderer.
Jackson has made long written state
ment in which he recites the incidents
leading up TO the murder, but claims
steadfastly that Walling and not he did
the killing.
There is a reward of 5000 by two morn
ing papers of Cincinnati and $50 by the
owner of the farm on which the murder
was committed for the discovery of Pearl
Bryan's head, with a prospect of $500
more from citizens of Greencastie, max
ing $1.1s0. This. with the intensifying

that she had been unable to do anything

Officer Wilson of the Humane Society told
the court that the girl had been sent to the

had been questioned and while there she
gave birth to the child.
The doctors found that there was no in
sanity in the case, but that the girls con-
duct was the result of her naturally de-
