NEWPORT, KY. June s.-To-day
was motion day in the Campbell county
court, and this business consumed 30
much OF the forenoon as to leave only
an hour and twenty minutes for the
Walling trial. This time was consumed
by arguments on the admissibility OF
the evidence of Ed II. Anthony and
Chief OF Police Phil Dcitsch, OF Gin
cInnatl, given last week. The defense
moved to exclude the evidence of both
OF these witnesses; that Of Anthony, be-
Cause when he obtained II he told wall
ing that he was Il detective; that OF
DeItsch because he sent for Walling
and told him lit would be well' or II
might be we'll" TO make clean breast
OF IL. The testimony Of these witnesses
was very damaging.
After hearing arguments ana clth-
tions OF preCcdents, chiefly by the de-
lensc, the court ruled this testimony
out and Instructed the jury to disregard
Il, Testimony to similar admissions by
WallluC on different occasions made TO
Mayor Caldwell and Sheriff Plummer,
was held by the court as competent
This testimony does not differ muteri-
ally from that OF Anthony ana Dellsch
which was disallowed by the court.
Moreover It was powerfully corrobor-
ltcd By Walling himself by admissions
he made when under cross-eShnlnutlOh
ON the witness stand this afternoon.
The whole afternoon, from O'Clock
iii n quarter to G, Alonzo VI. Wnllins
was on the witness stand. His mother
two brothers, and a sist0r-in-law sat
near the prisoner More than two nun
drcd women were among the crowd ot
spectators outside the bar.
II was manifest from the dritt OF the
direct examination that the purpose Oh
the defense was to throw the whole
guilt OF the murder on Scott Jackson,
and. II possible. estnbllsh.an allbl for
WallInC himself. In his direct eHdmi-
nation Walllng said he never knew
Pearl Bryan till she came here. Fur
thermore he said he knew jackson at
Indianapolis, but never was intimate
with him till he came TO the dental col
legc at Cincinnati. Since the two came
here they had roOmed In the same room
and slept In the same bed every hiBht
except the Thursday after the arrest.
This however, was brought out In
oOss-exnmination.
He Elld in both direct and cross-cx-
| animation that Scott Jackson hrst mem
TONED Pearl Bryan to him early In jan
uary, Just after he had returned from
the holiday vacation at GTesncnslle.
"Thcn," said Mailing jackson took
me In n corner OF our room, t3ll Ile
he had Pearl Bryan IN trouble, that he
| would bring her here to have an nbOr-
tion. and asked me to help him. l agreed
to help him by getting suitable room
and n competent physician TO do the
| work. jackson, n little Inter, said he
| would bring the Glrl here, give her some
quick poison and kill her In some hotel
with the impression nat she had COM
mltted suicide. SIN later he proposed
TO kill her with poison In a private room,
cut her up and scatter the pieces IN the
city catch basin"
He said, n on Monday night, Janu-
ary q, he had met Pearl Bryan at the
| Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton depot
he would have taken her to Walling-
forl's saloon, In the "tenderl0n" dis
trict. where Jacky0n again instructed
him to take her. He Eaid he saw Pearl
| Bryan only three times while she was
here, The first time was Tuesday
when he took a message 10 her from
Scott Jackson. This was the only time
he SPOKE 10 her. The second time was
on Wednesday night when he saw
Jackson and woman he supposed was
Pearl Bryan leaving the WalllnEfGrd
saloon. The third time was Thursday
night, when Jackson sent him to meet
Pearl at the pOstoiIlcc. He did not go
To the pOst1fIlcc. but went by and peep
| ed In and saw Pearl Bryan without her
seeing him. He went 10 the DennlsOn
House. wrote letters and that tho
Thursday night before the murder did
not so 10 his room, hut stayed at Hell
dcr's hotel.
He said the reason he stayed at Hell
ders was that he had become suspicious
OF Jackson about this girl. on Friday
night, January 81. he saw Jackson at
their room at 10 o'clock. but he went
out with Albion TIL midnight and went
10 bed and slept all night and saw moth
Ing Of Jackson nt Heidcrs on Satur-
day evening when he first read about
murdered girl near Fort Thomas, Sat
urday. At noon he had taken a pack
age at Inckson's request and put It In
his own locker at the college. II was
n pair OF pantaloons. lie said they be-
longcd 10 Jackson. He was required to
nut them on and stand before the jury,
The pantal0uns buttOned all right, hut
| were a trlne short. Witness said In his
examination IN chief that when Jack
qOn first brpnChpl tho matter To him
just after tho holidays he thought he
was talking through his hat, but that
now he had every reason to believe
Scott Jackson murdered Pearl Bryan.
NOltllil .NNlhhIl III kl' tlNNN-NNtlAlIlllh
tiou, asked Walling: "Do you mean to
say TO the jury that you alcpt with
Jackson Saturday. Sunday. Monday and
Tuesday nightg-wh0. as you believed,

become suspicious on Thurshoy,whosc
murlcrDus Intentions toward Pearl
bryan you knew ever since the hOli-
days. and In all these days read every
dny about tho murder, that you walked
With him. ate with him. slept with him
md yet never once spoke 10 him about
