Cincinnati, Feb. 1S.The strongest
link in the chain Of evidence against
the two murdererS of Pearl Bryan has
made its appearance. George Jackson,
private coachman for Maj. Widdle-
held, on McGregor avenue, Mount Au-
burn, revealed the story. He said that
on Friday night, Jan. 81, he was en-
gagged by three unknown men to drive
a surrey over the river. One OF the
men rode on the seat with him and
threatened to kill him if he ever said
anything about the ride. The other
Two men were inside with woman.
arriving at a ,thicket the men got out,
helped the woman out and took her
into the bushes. The driver heard
suppressed cries of a woman, became
| frightened and fastened to the city.
George 81. Jackson was taken to the
jail and picked out Jackson and Wall
ing among thirty other prisoners. He
f1rst went to sWalling, looked up and
down from head to feet, in front and
all around him, and said:
- am sure this is the man who sat
on the seat with me- Then he added:
If could hear his voice I could tell
better" -, -. :
Walling was bid to speak and to re.
peat the threats that he is alleged to
have made to the negro.
Ihe negro said: That's his voice,
only it is a little stronger
AS to Jackson he went around and
selected several men that seemed to
be about Jackson's size He said: ~
did not see this man except when he
got out of the carriage in the darkness,
and l only know about his size; bring
him up to this other man."
jackson was brought up by Walling.
The negro said: ''This looks like the
other man. I'd like to hear his voice.
can't be sure of this man that sounds
very much like the voice of the other
man who told me to turn the carriage
around and who helped the woman
out, only it was a great deal harsher.u
Inc negro went with the detectives
OF the road to where he took those
people the night of the murder. The

| More Strong Evidence.
SPECIAL circumstances that give
weight to the testimony of the negro
are the high name and respect he
pears among all his employers. He is
highly intelligent, has no bad habits,
never drinks liquor or uses tobacco; is
competent, trustworthy and efficient
as an. employe, and is an active mem.
Der Of Zion Colored Baptist church,
He takes two daily papers and is a
man Of more than ordinary intelli-
gence. Il
In his statement he said that he
found IN the surrey instead Of a round
hltchlng weight, a piece of railroad
rail about foot long, while waiting
Tor the return of the two men who
had gone away with the girl at the
place OF the murder. 1t had two
holes through it. A leather strap was
fastened to one of these holes. That
ne used for a hitchiag weight and then
ran away as fast as he could run until
ne came home. Right here is the great
point In the chain Of circumstances.
1t was just precisely such piece of
rallroad iron that was wrapped up in
Jackson's bloody coat when it was
nsned out of a sewer catch basin.
What emphasizes this evidence is the
lact that this coat being wrapped
around a piece of railroad iron has
never been mentioned in the news
papers. 3 =. : :

CINCINNATI, Feb. 10 Walling and
Jackson, the accused murderers of
Pearl Bryan, will start from the iail
at $50 tomorrow for a hearing in the
ponce court on the charge Of being
IugltlVes from justice In view of that
fact the following advertisement.
winch appeared in morning paper
without signature, is regarded with
suspicion to say the least. Here it is:
''Wanted -Men, able-bodied; 1000 at
Court and Sycamore streets. al. $50
o'clock. Come ready for work.
Inc entrance to the Jail is at the
corner Of those streets. The natural
inference is that this is an Indictment
| to riot, Inserted in the paper by some
| unknown fomenter Of mischief. If.
l,OOO men report there ready for work
that means trouble, and they may
have both in any quantity desired.
| Whatever may be the personal feel
ings of the police toward the prisoners.
they can be depended upon to keep
their oath to uphold law. The same
may be said Of the local military The
probability is against trouble.

Pearl Bryan, has just reported official
