Colonel Washington says ne will prove tnat
Jackson ard Wailing were not on good :, terms rms
for that very reason that Walling spent the

was not true that the two prisoners are now
friends. but that they are bitter enemies
and that Waling Is continually taking Jack
son 20 task for attempting TO throw the re-
sponslbility Of the crime on him.
Colonel Washington says he will not ask
for a change OF venue for the Walling trial,
but viii let II go on in Newport without pro-
test. He has three reasons for not asking
Tor the change of venue. Ii would probably
not be granted by Judge Helm If granted
the trial would probably be transferred TO the
KeHton County Court In Covington, which
would be of no advantage. thinks Colonel
Washington. If sent TO some other county
the expense OF securing witnesses would be
side side to desire that the lawyer said.
WaEfng's attorneys look somewhat sus-
plciously on the changes that have been
made in the Newport jail regarding the
quarters of the two prisoners. Jailer Bitter
says the men were put into adjoining cells
for convenience and safety. When Colonel
Washington. one OF the attorneys for Wall
ing. was asked what he thought Of putting
the prisoners together he said:
II cannot see why IL has been done. un-
less by this means the Commonwealth
hopes to secure additional testimony to
be used against Wa,ling In the approaching
trial. II may be that the prosecution hopes
10 have someone overhear the con-
versafions of the two men, as was done
in the fly cell I'm Cincinnati
The men have evidently taken warming
for all that they have said has been in
tone so low that no one could overhear.
Commemorative Attorney Lockhart said
that he could not tell why the men had
been put together, unless for convenience
in the Jail. He thought the action unusual.
