CINCINNATI, Feb. T.-Walling and Jack
son, the accused murderers OF Pearl Bryan.
will start from the Jail at $50 Tomorrow
for hearing in the Police Court on the
charge OF being fugitives from justice. In
view of that fact the following advertise
ment, which appeared i'm a morning paper,
without signature. is regarded with sus-
picion, TO say the least. Hero IL is:
''Wanted-Men able-bodied, L000 at Court
and Sycamore streets, at $50 O'Clock Tues
day morning. Come ready for work."
The entrance to the Jail is at the corner
of Court and Sycamore streets. The natur-
al inference is that this is an incite-
ment riot, inserted in the paper by some
unknown fomenter of mischief. II Loo
men report there tomorrow ready for
work, that means trouble. and they can
have both in any quantity desired. What
ever may be the personal feelings OF the
police toward the prisoners. they can be
depended on to keep their oath TO uphold
the law. and the same may be said OF the
local military. The probabilities are against
trouble.
DR.. w. H. Crane. the chemist who dis
covered cocaine in the stomach of Pearl
Bryan. has just reported officially that his
quantative analysis showed the presence OF
George II. Jackson. the reyealer OF the
facts of the midnight drive TO the scene OF
the tragedy, bears a spotless name where
ever he has lived for from one TO four
years. In Springfield. O.. where he lived
only few months, his reputation with the
police is bad. If lie is wanted for embez-
element there he can be had speedily. His
testimony was the means of sending a col
ored minister to the penitentiary from Wal
NUT Hills short time ago. This. has made
him some enemies, especially beyond the
confines of Cincinnati The effect OF Jack
sons revelations upon the prisoners has
been more depressing than anything else
that has transpired. A black bead. few
blonde hairs and some hair pins have been
found in the newly discovered rockaway-
These circumstances, with -sle established
fact OF the rockaway being out on that
murderous night, strongly corroborate Jack
sons story.
The detectives to-day learned that Pearl
Bryan was kept at the Herman Hotel In
Newport on the night previous to her MUIR
der. The officers have now a complete
chain of evidence against jackson and WALL
ing from the time Pearl Bryan came here
from Greencastle, Ind, Monday, Jan. q. till
Friday night, Jan. 81, when she was MUIR
dered in a secluded spot between Fort
Thomas and Newport, KY.
Governor Bushnell will hear the requisition
case tomorrow, after which there is no
doubt of the transfer of the two suspects
to Sheriff Plummer, OF Campbell county,
Kentucky, who viii hold them in the New
port jail. They are under Indictment and
will have a speedy trial. 1t is barely prob
able that habeas corpus proceedings may be
Employed to keep the prisoners here. Mean
time Governor Bradley has set his foot down
against lynching, and the good citizens OF
Newport resent the imputation that they
are not able to give the prisoners a fair
trial.
