JAcksoN,s CLEVER DEFENSE.
An Attempt TO Prove That Miss Bryan
Was Killed in Cincinnati.

was KILLED in Cincinnnth
NEWPORT, KY, May2 -ThoproceedinFs
in the trial of Scott jackson yesterday
were less exciting than those of Thursday
yet the interest i'm it did not abato nor did
the crowd of spectators diminish. This
interest extends to the court house corrl-
doris and the nelghboring streets and
throngs them with people There were
fifty women in the court room yesterday
Morning, noon and night, as the prisoner
passes betweoa the court room and the
jail, throngs mostly women and children,
gather to catch a glimpse of him. Last
night there were nearly 200 in the crowd,
including half dozen infants in baby
wagons
The drift of the testimony for the de-
fense disclosed a purpose to show that
Pearl Bryan, though beheaded in Ken
tucky, was first killed in Cincinnati and
then taken over TO Kentucky and be-
headed. This, If successful, would set the
prisoner free, as he could not be tried for
the same offense in Cincinnati Manifestly
the theory of the defense is that Pearl
Bryan was chloroformed to death uninten.
tionally in Cincinnati, and taken to Ken
lucky and beheaded to escape the penalty
for such an accident. The testim ony of
Embalmer Abbott that he flushed the
veins of Pearl Brysn's body before the
autopsy and found a quart and u half of
blood in them was TO overthrow expert
testimony of the prosecution that she
must have been killed where found.
Early this week the defense put Scott
Jackson's shoes iu evidence. Yesterday
afternoon David r. Lock, who was the
fourth man to visit the scene of the muir
der, testified to seeing tracks from the
pike to the spot where the girl lay, and
back by another route to the pike again.
The tracks were by number eight or nine
shoes, perfectly new, and broad at the toe.
He was shown Jackson's shoes, and said
the tracks could not have been made by
them.
Most of the afternoon was taken up by
reading the depositions of colored men to
prove that George II. jackson, the colored
cab driver, was in Cincinnati on Friday
night, Jan. 81, and till o'clock on Satur'
day, Feb l, the morning Of the murder,
and therefore could not have driven the
cab to the scene.
