he gave in the Jackson trial. He said
that on the afternoon of Jan. 81 he saw

swering Pearl Bryan's description. The
girl was weeping. She was constantly
talking to Walling, who seemed to turn
a deaf ear to her entreaties.
Kinney's Identification of Walling was

reddening face and declared; ''I can never
forget that man nor that girl"
Walling eyed the witness and attempted
to smile.
