der Pearl Bryan.
He RATHER SUSPECTS wALllMo.
Took the Girl 70 . Bad saloon and
Helped to Hide Her Clothes. but
Didn't KIN Her.

Newport, KY. April 3o.-Only one wit
ness was examined to-day. and he was
Scott Jackson. All the forenoon and aft
ernoon, with very little questioning. he
told how he did not murder Pearl Bryan,
and how Walling must have done the
whole thing himself His statement adj
mitfed his partnership In the scheme which
brought Pearl Bryan to Cincinnati for an
unlawful purpose, and also an active COM
piicity with Walling in dropping the MUIR
dered girls clothing into the Ohio river.
His attempt TO explain why he was active
IN hiding the girls clothing is looked upon
By many attorneys as lame.
According to the Kentucky law, which
requires that II defendant Ia to be put on
the stand at all he shall be called first,
Scott jackson was called this MORN
ing. He gave . brief sketch Of his
life in Jersey City and New York.
and Of his acqua.ntances IN Green
castle. Ind. whore his mother lives.
and told briefly Of his acquaintance with
Pearl Bryan. He was IN Grcencastle.
Ind. from the spring OF 1885 until October
OF that year. and saw Pearl Bryan often
He admitted Illicit relations with her In
the last Christmas holidays. He was
about to tell Of statements made to him
by Will Wood concerning Woods relations
with Pearl Bryan. when the court decided
that such testimony was not admissible.
jackson said he had received many letters
from Wood. but they were 50 vile that he
destroyed all except two. which were now
In the possession OF the prosecution.
With reference tc Pearl Bryan's visit
to Cincinnati Jackson said he had no
notice of her coming. He called upon her
after he heard that she was In the city.
and went with her on Tuesday night to
Walnut Hills and met her and Walling on
Wednesday. and never saw her afterward.
The rest Of his testimony was devoted to
proving an abb by showing where he
spent the time from Wednesday until Sat
urday. He denied being In Kentucky dur.
ing any Of those days.
The announcement of the prosecution,
at the close OF Scott Jackson's testimony
that "the commonwealth will not CROSS
examine this Witness" was made at As.
The court then adjourned.
The main purpose OF tbs defense to
prove an abb by Jackson will be sup
ported. n possible. by the testimony Of
other witnesses. Jackson stated that he
did not know Pearl Bryan was In Gin
cinnati till Tuesday. January q. when he
received a notc from her at the dental coll
lege inviting him to visit her

of Forstmeyer. who saw him in Kentucky
with the girl shortly before. he emphat-
ically branded as untrue. He admitted
taking Pearl Bryan to Wallingford's sa-
loon in the tenderloin district. but said II
was on Tuesday night, January 3, In
stead OF Friday, January 81, the night be-
fore the murder, as testified by Walling-
ford.
He said Walling agreed to relieve the
girl secretly. and when all was over and
she was at to be returned home, would
turn her over to the witness. He says
he took her valise. the one afterward
found stained inside with blood. carried It
to his room on Tuesday afternoon, and
tried to return 1t on Wednesday, but
could not find Walling. to whom he in
tended to give it. He said that on Satur.
day night of the day the body was found
he and Walling dropped some clothing
into the river which walling. without fur
thor explanation. told him 1t was unsafe
to keep In their room. When he made
inquiry about the matter waiiinS tod
him to ask no questions. His explanation
OF his shifting the vaiise around was very
awkward When called upon to explain
why he participated in hiding Pearl Bry-
ans clothing. he said he was actuated by
fear that the part he had taken to bring
her here to save VIII Wood might impli-
