that h" was satisfied that the conditions

commission detailed 10 purge the roll The
secretary eyiuced a strong desire 10 go
into tho puTg.us business. and an this hy
way OF justifying his action In creating the
commission and further Justifying the plan
10 maintain the commission at government
expense for the remaining months of the
administration. The chairman OF the com
mission, Colonel Houston, has a third
cousin living in Atlanta who l. a candidate
for the legislature and the secretary, de-

convinced that m" purging Of the Usage

The court thereupon adjourned until to.

This morning Mrs Scithers, who lives on

such a way as to frighten her The road
on which she met them was used altoeeth-
or by residents 81 the neiehborhood. and II
was very unusual TO see any other person

Monday. tho 3rd. was n most important
witness. He said he handled the valise on
sunday morning and II was quite heavy;
that he handled II on Monday again. and
1t was very lEht. The inference OF the
com monwelath Is that on Sunday II con-
tained the head and that on Sunday night
Jat kson took II away 10 dispose Of the
head and returned IL empty on Monday.
The last witness and the one who was
kept on the stand longest. was Colonel
Phil Deitsch. superintendent Of the Cin-
cinati police. His testimony was contest
ed at every point and much Of II was
ruled out. What was accepted as cCrnpe
tent has all been Included In the story Of
the case during the week following the
murder Of Pearl Bryan. The court eN-
cluded everything Of this testimony as to
what Walline said in the presence of Jack
son, which Jackson did not admit Jack
sons admission to the colonel that the
bloody Valise was Pearl Bryan's and that
he took her clothing out Of IL aud threw
y into the river, was accepted In evidence.
Jackson's accusation of WallinE as the
murderer Of Pearl Bryan was also accept
ed. The colonel said Jackson sent FOR
him to have these talks with him and was
admonished hy the mayor that he need
not talk unless he chose to do so.
