NEWPORT, KY. June 3.-The maudlin
sentimentaiity displayed over Scott Jackson
at the Newport jail is very prominent by
its absence IN Covington, and naturally the
condemned criminal is pining for the loss OF
1t, and wants to be returned TO Newport
Neither jailer Mcknight nor any of, the
turnkeys will permit anyone inside of the
Jail to converse with him. Even his sister
spent an hour in conversation with him
through the bars of the door leading into
the Jail. When about to leave jailer Nc
Knight opened the door to allow them to
bid farewell.
An affecting scene followed, the sister and
brother clasped each other around the neck
and caressed and kissed each other often,
while the tears streamed from the eyes of
the sister. Jackson for the first time weak
ened. his face flushed to a deep red and
soon the scafding tears were gushing from
his eyes. With long, last embrace they
separated and the door closed between
them. Jackson hurried to his cell, where
he threw himself on his cot and. burying
his face in the pillow. sobbed piteously. 1t
was indeed affecting, and a suspicious
moisture was noticed in the eyes of those
around, who. although often the witnesses

A Cincinnati evening paper tonight prints
the story that for the first time Alonzo
Walling revealed to-day in the Newport Jail
the story he will tell on the witness stand

tive is strikingly similar to that Of Scott
