johnson, the colored bartender who tes-
titled yesterday to the presence OF Pearl

saloon on the evening Of Friday, Janu-
ary 81, the night before her dead hody
was found, and also about the visit VI
Attorney Shepherd to him with tho
proposition that he could make moro
money by staying away from the trial
thah he could get from his witness fees,
The cross examination begun yester-
day was continued. and the witness
showed himself ready TO answer every
question. He said Shepherd and An
dfews, when they called on him, asked
him to take drink, which he refused.
! At their request he showed thOm tho
house kept By Clara Bates He repeat
ed his statement that Shepherd told
him no power on earth could force him
to 60 to Kentucky as a witness. When
asked II he did not call Shepherd aside
and speak to him privately so he could
ask how much he could get for refusing
to testify he replied that he called Shep-
herd aside and told him he could not re-
| fuse to testify because the state Of feel
| ing was such that II would be made
very unpleasant for him n he refused
| to 70 to Kentucky. He spoke to Shep-
/ herd privately because Shepherd had
made the proposition to him privately.
He said Il was a bay horse that drew
the cab from Walllngford's saloon. He
was asked about whether he had been
arrested or indicted and answered
promptly that he had once been arrest
ed for petty larceny, but was acquitted.
A. s. Bryan was called to testify as
to the disposition OF Pearl Bryan. He
said she was OF q very conAding dispo-
sltlon toward anyone in whom she had
confidence, or that she regarded as
friend She had never been In clncln-
natl until she came to her death. She
was acquainted with no one here except
a man named Matthias, She was an
innocent, unBophistlcated girl, who had
seldom gone away rom home.
DR.. CrHue's Testimony.
DR.. w. II. Crane followed, giving
thorough description OF his analysts Of
the stomach contents, the results OF
which were brought out before the cor
oner.
Cranes testimony was that no poison
except that which Is known to be IN the
embalming huld was found In Pearl
Bryan,s stomach aside from that'of co-
calne He found one and one-fourth
grains Of cocaine and estimated that
dose OF about two grains nan peen
given. The stomach was bloodless,
Dr DIckore, a chemist, was examined
in regard to stains found in the Valise
ana on the trousers found In Jackson's
possesslon. He said these stains were
made by the blood Of Inammalih. II
was not possible to determine whether
Il was human blood, but 1t was more
likely to be that than any other he
also made an analysis Of the earth
taken from where Pearl Bryan's BODY
WAS found and compared It with the
mud found on Jackson's pantaloons'
He declared that the two specimens
were alike. As to the spots found on
.Jackson's coat which had been recov-
ersd from a sewer, he was not able to
determine whether or not they were
blood stains It was q question, how-
ever, whether the exposure OF the coat
In the sewer would not obllterate the
evidences Of blood.
