Cincinnati, o., February 17.-Wall-
ing and Jackson, the accused murder
ers Of Pearl Bryan. will start from the
Jail at $50 tomorrow for a hearing
in the police court, on the charge of be-
ing fugitives from justice In view of
that fact the following advertisement,
which appeared in a morning paper
without signature, is regarded with sus-
picion to say the least. Here it is:
"wANTBD-Men. able-bodied. 1000 at
Court and Sycamore streets. at $50 O. O'clock
Tuesday morning. Come ready for work. -
The entrance TO the Jail is at the
corner of Court and Sycamore streets.
The natural inference is that this is an
incitement to riot, inserted in the paper
by some unknown fomenter of mis-
chief. II 1000 men report there to-
morrow, ready for work that means
trouble, they can have both in any
Quanty desired Whatever may be the
personal feelings of the police toward
the prisoners, they can be depended on
to keep their oath to uphold law the
same may be said of the local military.
The probabilities are against trouble.
DR.. w. II. Crane, the chemist, who
discovered cocaine in the stomach of
Pearl Bryan, has just reported officially
that his Quantitiye analysis showed
the presence of two-thirds of a grain
OF that drug.
George II. Jackson, the revealer of
the facts of that midnight drive to the
scene OF the tragedy, bears a spOtless
name wherever he has lived for from
one to four years. In Springfield, Chic,
where he lived only few months, his
reputation with the police is bad. II
he is wanted for embezzlement, as is
alleged there he can be had speedily.
His testimony was the mans of sending
colored minister to the penitentiary
from Walnut Hills a short time ago.
This has made him some enemies, es-
pecially beyond the confines of Cincin-
natl.
The effect of Jackson's revelations
upon the prisoners has been more de-
pressing than anything else that has
transpired A black bead, few blonde
hairs and some hair pins have been
found in the newly discovered rock
away. These circumstances, with the
established fact of the rockaway being
out on that murderous night, are
strongly corroborative of Jackson's
story.
1t is barely probable habeas corpus
proceedings may be employed to delay
extradition TO Kentucky Meantime
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
fair trial
The detectives to-day learned that
Pearl Bryan was kept at the Herman
Hotel in Newport on the night previous
to her murder. After finding the driv-
er and the surrey used by Jackson and
Walling in taking their victim from
Cincinnati to the Kentucky highlands
for decapitation. the officers to-day are
working in Newport. They have now
complete chain Of evidence against
Jackson and Walling from the time
Pearl Bryan came here from Green Cas-
tie. Ind, Monday. January 27, till Fri
dya night, January 81, when she was
murdered in a secluded spot between
Fort Thomas and Newport, Ky.
Governor Bushnell will hear the RED
uisitiOn case tomorrow, after which
there is no doubt of the transfer of the
two suspects to Sheriff Plummer, Of
Campbell county. XIV. who viii hold
them in the Newport Jail. They are
under Indictment and will have a
speedy trial.
