Of their own hands; but no sign or re-
morse or even Of any sort of emotion
was visible in their faces.
To add to the unparalleled ordeal,
Mrs. Stanley, sister Of the dead girl,
went to her murderers and begged Of
them with tears coursing down her
cheeks, to tell her where she might
find her sisters head. But nothing
moved them, and heartbroken the
weeping sister was led away while the
men were taken to the county Jail,
where they will be kept until the day
cided that they shall go to Kentucky
for trial. The body of Pearl Bryan
was given UP to her relatives and the
sorrowing company started with 1t to-
night to Green castle, to give it peace
full burial in the home cemetery
Meantime the grand jury is in ses-
sion in Newport, KY. 1t will no doubt
indict both Jackson and Walling.
Neither will go to Kentucky without
a requisition. The present evidence
does not show whether the murder was
in Ohio or In Kentucky. Until that
question is solved it will be difficult to
bring them to trial. At present they
are liable to indictment in both states.
In either case their strongest defense
would be found in the lack Of juris-
diction for the court.
The best legal talent says if Ohio
claims the criminals the burden of proof
that the crime was committed here will
rest on Ohio. Failing to prove that
fact, the finding of the body in Ken
lucky will give that state Jurisdiction

some Jewelry, Too.
One of the features in this years
fashion in jeWelry is that the bangle
has reappeared. But the new bangle
is very different from the old. 1t came
into fashion along with the elbow
sleeve now so much in vogue, and Is
a flexible affair, comfortable to the
arm, and entirely unlike the stiff ban
dage of few years ago. There are
on view a variety of these new bangles.
They consist of a narrow, flexible gold
band. set with jewels, alternating with
one another. Six to eight gems are
used and the effect is very beautiful
Diamonds alternating with emeralds
are the most in vogue, though eXqui-
site bangles show diamonds and rubies
and diamonds and sapphires. Another
bangle novelty has the same flexible
band, but with the jewels arranged
in a cluster instead of the separate
gems alternating one another A tur-
Quoise surrounded with diamonds
makes a valuable one of these new
bangles.
Strings of pearls are the fashion to
wear with low-necked evening gowns.

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. S.-Another
day closed without a positive answer
to the questions that have been per-
picking the police and public concern
ing the time, place and manner Of death
Of Pearl Bryan. There is practically
no question about the criminals, for in
spite of assertions of Jackson and
Walling-each placing the crime at the

evidence that both are guilty. While

protection Of legal counsel, have not
