NEWPORT, KY. June S.-Today was
motion day in the Campbell county
court. and this business consumed SO
much of the forenoon as to leave only
an bo,,r and twenty minutes for the
Walling trial.
This time was consumed by argu-
ments on the admissibility of the evil
dence of Ed H. Anthony and Chief Of
Police Dietsch, given last week. The
defense moved to exclude the evidence
of the witnesses-that of Anthony, be-
cause when he obtained it he told
Walling he was a detective; that OF
Dietsch. because he sent for Walllng
and told him sit would be wen, or
"it might be we'll to make clean
breast of it.
After arguments and citations OF
precedents by the defense the court
ruled this testimony out and Instructed
the jury to disregard it. Testimony 10

iferent occasions made to Mayor Cald-
well and Sheriff Plummer was held by
the court as competent. This testi-

purpose of the defense was to throw
the whole guilt of the murder upon
Scott jackson and, if possible, establish
an alibi for Walling himself. In his
direct examination, Walling said ne

knew jackson at Indianapolis; but
never was intimate with him until he
came to the dental college. Since
the two came here they had roomed in
the same room and slept in the same
bed every night, except the third after
the arrest. This, however, was brought
out in cross-examination. He said on
both direct and cross-examination that

room and a physician 10 do the work.
Jackson said a little later that he
would bring the girl here, give her
some, quick poison and kill her in
some hotel, with the impression that
she had committed suicide. Still later
he proposed to kill her with poison in
a private room, cut her up and scatter
her body in eaten basins.
He said if on Monday night, January
81, he had met Pearl Bryan at the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton depot, he
would have taken her to Wallingford' g
saloon. in the tenderloin district, where
Jackson had instructed him to take
her. He said he saw Pearl Bryan only
three times while she was there. The
first time was Tuesday, when he took
a message to her from Scott Jackson.
This was the only time he spoke to
her. The second time was on Wednes-
Cay night when he saw Jackson and a
woman he

leawing the saloon. The third time
was Thursday night, when Jackson
sent him to meet Pearl at the post
Office. He did not go to the postoffice
but went by and peeped in and saw
Pearl Bryan without her seeing him.
He went to the Dennison house, wrote
letters and the Thursday night before
the murder did not go to his room, but
stayed at HeydeT's hotel. He said the
reason he stayed at Heyder's was that
he had become suspicious of Jackson
about this girl. Friday night, January
81, he saw Jackson at their room al
10 o'clock. but he went out with Al
bion until midnight and went to bed
and slept all night, and saw nothing OF
Jackson until he awoke in the morn
ing about o'clock. He was with Jack
