cd against the supposed defense that
Pearl Bryan was dead before decapi-

ant, that he first proposed to kill her
with sSme quick poison, cut her body
UP and drop it in sewers piece meal.
Jackson then spoke up: 'Walling
how can YOU talk that way; you know
YOU killed her" Then each accused the

tatiyes Of the Republicans of Pennsvl-
yania, assembled here in convention to-
day and formally launched the boom
Of United States Senator NJ. S. Quay
for the Presidential nomination This
feat was accomplished amid scenes of
much turbulence. Men ordinarily Sc
date lost their tempers and said harsh
things to each other
The violence scenes were the result
of the efforts of the anti-Quay dele
gates to secure the adoption of q reso-
luton naming Mckinley as the second
choice of the convention. After an ex-
citing debate the proposition was de-
feated by a vote of 178 to S.
The convention nominated the slated
candidate for Congressmen-at-lar
and selected delegates-at-lapge and the
electors named by last nights caucus.
The platform drawn up by Mr. Quay's
friends was adopted without material
change. In fact, it was a Quay con-
vention all through, although those
opposed to that gentleman made things

Kinley district and as a delegate to
the st. Louis convention he would be
recreant to his trust if he did not pub
licly enter his protest against Mr.
Quay. At 4.45 the platform was finally
adopted.
