statement may be made in the trial of
Scott Jackson. 1t Is said that the prose-

two students at the boarding house. on
West Ninth street This Claim is based on
a statement that Walling made TO detec-
tive Witte. sof
The prisoner said that on the night after
the murder Jackson entered the room with
valise, and, taking a round bundle from

lay all night, but the next day it was
taken out and placed in the valse and car
ried away. When the story was tod to
Witte the officer went over to the room.
thinking 1t might still be there, but it was
gone. There was evidence, however, that
some sort of bundle had been placed
there. 1t is the general opinion at police
headquarters that the head was done away
with the day following the placing of the
bundle in the chimney place. This would
have been on Sunday.
The police do not, fbeieve that the head
was in the valise when Jackson left 1t al
head was gone and that the fellow was
trying in some way TO get rid of the valise,
a damaging bit of evidence.

last Wednesday night. Out of the five games
this week Ives won three and Schaefer two,
while GARNER lost four. There was just a
possibility that the Americans would tie to-
