from citizsns of Green Castle. Ind, making
$3.50. This, with the intensifying inter-
est in the solving of the mystery. stimu-
lated the search by everybody. Tonight

Shiny bed. Sheriff Piummer of Newport,
KY, has gone to Frankfort. KY. fer
requisition for Scott jackson and Alonzo
NJ. Walling, the men in Jail here jointly
indicted by the Campbell county grand
jury for the murder of Pearl Bryan.

was changed here today from murder to
"fugitives from justice" for the abandon
ment of jurisdiction by Ohio and facili-
ta,ipg their extradition to Kentucky. The
prisoners will contest extradition. The
authorities and the people of Newport feel
apgrieved that there should be fear OF the
prisoners being lynched there. The sheriff
says he can take care of the prisoners and
that if he finds there is danger of siege
and the Newport Jail not strong enough to
Withstand it, he can remove them.

was averse to going on his bond again. His
counsel, David Davis, said it was better for
him to 60 to jail, and did not attempt to
get bond for him. Wood is very ind'g-
nant.
The grand jury of Campbell county,
Kentucky, sitting at Newport, this morn
ing reported to Judge Perkins indictments
against Scott jackson and Alonzo M. Wal
ling for the wiilful murder of Pearl Bryan:
An open patrol wagon drove to the jail
door this afternoon to take jackson and
Walling 10 the police court. There was
curious crowd on the sidewalk. The pris-
onSrs were driven quickly to the city hall.
In the meantime there was a wild struggle
for admission into the court room. An
extra detail of officers was necessary to
keep the crowd from degenerating into
q mob. Both prisoners waived examina-
ton and were ordered committed to Jail
without bonds on the charge of being fuai-
tives from justice, and the case was con-
tinued until Feb. IS. Sheriff Plummer of
Newport will at once apply TO the governor
for a requieition for the prisoners:
VIM. +. Wood, who was out on bond. did
not appear and his bond was forfeited.
Subsequently he came in and his case was
c continued until the 25th. He was locked
up until new bond can be given.
