JAoYsoNis TRIAL,
The Murderer Of Pearl Bryanon Trial for
HIS LiSe-The Testimony Begun.


NEWPORT, KY, April 22-Air. and
Mrs. Alexander s, Bryan, OF Greeneas-
tie, Ind, and all the members OF their
family attended the trial OF Scott Jack
son to-day. There was very large at-
tendance. Prof. Edwin Post, Of De-
pauw university, the brother-in-law OF
Jackson, sat at his side.
Coroner w. F, Tingley was recalled.
A lay figure, dressed In the clothing
found on Pearl Bryan's body, was
brough into court, but the bloody dress
presented such a horrible appearance
that the objection OF the defense was
sustained. Then Coroner Tlngley iden-
tilted each article as the one ON Pearl
Bryan's body when found near Fort
Thompson. The gasheaN and blood
stains were also identified as being in
the clothing then.
Bryan, a mllilner, testified to the hat
and other articles having been secured
by Pearl at their store. She identified
each article Of clothing and to being
with Pearl when she bought the shoes.
The bloody dress was one Mrs. Stanley
had made. One Of the three handker-
chiefs found with Jackson's GATEWAY
clothing had been given TO Pearl by Mrs..
Stanley last Christmas, Mrs. Stanley
identified the vaiiRe also a gold neck
lace. She finally broke down as these
articles were laid before her for identih-
cation and there was quite a scene In
court. Mrs. Stanley looked directly At
jackson and Identified him.
Following Mrs, Stanley, several Wit
nesses were called to prove the appear
ance Of the body when found, the eVt-
dences OF struggle, the blood spurts on
the bushes, the amount OF blood on the
ground, etc. Then d. Carothers, who
made the post mortem examination,
gave his testimony as already given be-
fore the coroner.
A peculiar feature developed to-day is
the policy OF the defense to not cross eR-
anime Witnesses. The only suggestion
OF an explanation Of this policy is that
the defense of insanity Is TO be set up.

A REHEARING WANTED.

Buckley Democrats Looking to the
Campaign of 1898.
D. A. Macdonald, the Buckley candidate
for Superintendent of Public Streets, has
fled in the Supreme Court a petition for
rehearing or new trial of the case of D. A.
Macdonald vs. w. M. Hinton, the Regis
trar of this City and County. The petit
toner is very anxious to be placed am ong
the cand idates on the regular Democratic
ticket, but Registrar Hinton denied his
petition and the case was carried to the
Supreme Court, which sustained the de-
cision of the Registrar.
In his petition for rehearing or new
trial in the case the petitioners numerous
attorneys set forth:
That there was a misapprehension on the
part of the court in making the order on mo-
tion of judgment On the pleadings in this,
that said order was made final and went to the
extent of denying the writ and dismissing the
petition when it should have only denied the
motion for Judgment Oh the pleadings and set
the matter for trial on the issues of fact raised
upon the record. The statutes gov
erning the remedy by mandate expressly pro-
vide for the trial Of issues of fact either before
court or referee. We respecfuil submit that
it is unjust to allow the respondent to make
up a case of facts. The respondent can under
such practice bind petitioner by any denals
or statements of fact, limited only by the
bounds set by an elastic conscience.
We earnestly invoke the attention of the
court to the gravity of the case. Nothing can
be SO important as the political rights of q
great number of voters constituting party or
ganization. The very existence of an organ
ization numbering thousands of voters and Its

KENNY CHOSE TO RESENT IT

The local political campaign for the po-
sition of Police Judges was the cause of a
lively scrap between two attorneys yester-
Gay.
At the lunch hour several attorneys
were IN restaurant on Larkin street, op-
posite the City Hall. Judge Campbell
was seated at one table with Attorney A.
Newberger and two or three others. At
an adjoining table was seated Attorney
John ]. Kenny and some friends.
In the course of conversation Judge
Campbell complained that Kenny was
fighting against his election. Kenny re
piled that although he liked the Judge So
cially he objected to him as dispenser of
justice.
Just then Newberger chimed in with a
disparaging remark about Judge Conlan
and Kenny promptly resented it.
when you made the same remark to
me yesterday" said Kenny, ~ told you
you were a liar and warned you not to re-
peat it. You wouldn't come outside now
and repeat it to my face"
Kenny had by this time risen to his
feet and Newberger as he repeated the re-
mark rose also, and Kenny shot out his
right, which landed on Newbergers nose.
To save himself from another jab New
berger clinched. There was no referee to
make them back away and they hugged
each other till they both landed upon the
floor and rolled underneath the table.
The fought viciously on the floor, and
although Newberger is much heavier and
taller than Kenny, the latter got in the
most blows, but failed to reach New
berger's face.
At the start of the fight the lunch eaters
simply looked surprised, but when the two
attorneys fell to the floor locked in each
others embrace, they jumped to their feet
and a rush was made to get close view
of the fight.
Two Or three. thinking that hostilities
had been allowed to go far enough, pulled
the struggling attorneys apart, and they
soon recovered their breath and their
temper and brushed the dust from their
clothes. No blood was drawn.
Judge Conlan," said Kenny afterward,
"is personal friend of mine, and l will
not allow a man like Newberger 20 vilify
him when he is not present to defend Kim
self. If the same remark had been made
about any other of my personal friends
would have done the same thing, no
matter how big the man was who made
the remark"
The police were not informed of the
fight and no arrests were made.

MINERS CONVENTION.

Very Large Delegations Expected From
the Country Associations.
Great preparations are being made for
the California Miners Association Con-
vention which will be held in this City on
November 10. From ali reports every
county organization will double the num-
Der of its delegates over last year and
then there we're 500 delegates.
1t is expected that the miners will re-
elect Jacob II. Neff as the president of the
association, although he is very anxious to
shift t he responsibilities upon the shoul-
d ers of some other well-known mining
man. From all accounts there will be a
spirited contest for the vice. preside ncy.
The executive committee has been so for
tunate as to secure one and third rate
for the round trip for delegates on all OF
the railroads.
The principal business to come before
the convention will be the preparation OF
measure for the creation of Cabinet Of
ficer on mines and mining.
Yesterday Julian Sonntag received q
letter from the Santa Clara Mining Asso-
citation at New Almaden stating that the
organization had elected Charles G. Derby

Either the Weather or the Bears
Trying 10 Fill Their Shorts Struck
the Market.

1t was reported that somebody said that
he heard that there was right smart fall
OF dew in the neighborhood of Calcutta
night before last. OF course, nobody be-
lieved it, but ali the same the big wheat
looking intently up in the sky above India
for cloud.
Possibly they found one, for when they
went back into the busy marts of trade
Nav wheat, which had been sailing along
serenely at 81 so, slumped to $l 46H and
December caved down the bank from 81 45
to 81 42%. Chicago and Liverpool must
have seen indications of rain gathering in
the dry and dusty East, for prices dropped
there also. In the lake city quotations
stood steady awhile, Notwithstanding the
weakness in the British pits, but finally
went down, December going from 775s
to 7415 cents.
In the local market speculation declined
and buyers stood aloof until the situation
became easier, they said. The price OF
No. shipping became fixed at 81 45 and
milling at 81 so and 81 521z. In the morn
ing call board May ran at 81 so, 81 4915
81 5o1l. 81 5034. 81 SIX, 81 40, 81 Az.
81 46M; December, 81 40. 81 AZ, 81 471s,
81 Al, 81 43ss, 81 4314, 81 42s4. In the
afternoon May started at 81 44M and went
down the grade to 81 45 ana stopped al
81 431S. December began at 81 40, dropped
to 81 3SA and stood at 81 39A.
Among the cargoes the Gumford takes
for Cork 81, S4S centals valued at $114, ,00(
and The Esemplore for the same pofi
80, 500 centals at $45, 600.
So wheat is declining, and whether it is
the sight of small Indian cloud arising
over the Ganges or only the Chicago bears
clawing down the market to fill theil
shorts California street sayeth not.

AMERICAN woMEN's LIBERAL LEAGUE.
ANTI-cHARTER LITERATURE
FREE.
ROOM 81.

There was some dispute as to the prior
ity of the banners, but at any rate the
on-Partisans complained that the oppo-
sition sign impinged upon their own
and led 10 confusion, as some persons
might think that the Non Partisans were
trying to carry water on both shoulders so
far as the charter was concerned.
Subsequent proceedings may be best
understood by the explanation which Miss
Morse, one of the ladies of the American
Women's Liberal League, gave yesterday.
"All this difficulty came about by Mr..
Clark, the manager for the owner OF the
Nucleus, and Mr.. Wallace, the agent, al
lowing themselves to be bulldozed. We
had as much right to put out our sign as
the Nom Partisans had, and as we wanted
10 advertise our anti-charter literature we
did so. When we first heard of the obiec-
ton to our sign we paid no attention, and
settled our rent as usual when 1t was due.
A few minutes later we received notice to
take down our sign, but we did not heed
the command, as the Non -Partisans still
had up their banner.
"Then somebody came into our rooms at
night with passkeys and robbed US of our
sign. l went TO Mr.. Clark and told him
that l wanted him TO tell me where our
sign had gone. as / intended to swear out
a search warrant. He said he would take
an oath before a notary public that he
didn't know anything about the where
abouts of our sign. | asked for permis-
sion 10 put up new sign, which he refused
because he said we had not obeyed his
orders about the other sign.
''As l stood in the door about to 60
said:
"'Then you refuse to give permission
for our sign to go up againr
~ do he said.
We'll, Wen nut it up, anyhow l
replied and I'd like to see any body try
to take it down.
$50 you see we have gotta bigger sign
than ever-a sign that can't be looted by
taking it through our windows, and
don't think any body can get at 1t without
breaking his neck unless he has flying
machine; that's why we changed the let
tering, making it read Anita. P. A..
Anti Charter Literature Free-Anti-Loot-
ing Made Easy
I'VE keep a watchman on the premises
all night, and we don't care if he hires
bulldog to bear him company in the lone
vigils of the night. One thing is certain;
we don't intend to take any more chances
on losing our sign
Meanwhile the Nom Partisans are fol-
lowing the example OF Br'er Rabbit-they
are lying low and saying nothing.
