evidence is being more tightly bound
about the Fort Thomas murderers as
time progresses. The admission of par
ticipation in various phases of the crime
by Scott Jackson and Alonzo w. Walling
continue and piece by piece the police
are learning all the facts which led TO
Pearl Bryan's death.
Last night Walling made statement
70 a reporter that Pearl Bryan was
murdered in cold blood by Scott jack
son, who, he says, administered hy-
podermic injection of prussic acid or
cocaine, and then cut off her head to
battle Identification.
Late this afternoon Jackson dictated
and signed the following statement:
''Here with the Bible in my hands, on
my knees before God, swear am not
guilty Of numbering that poor girl
did not get her to come to Cincinnati TO
undergo a criminal operation. Walllng
was to get $50 for performing 1t. 1 was
guilty of getting him to do it, but not
of numbering that poor girl. l don't
know where he killed her, or how he
killed her, or what he did with her after
he killed her. did not kill the poor
girl He is the guilty man. Will Wods
was to send $50 to him through me for
performing the operation. This is the
truth, so help me Cod"
This afternoon Fred. Bryan positive
" identified his sisters remains at
Whites undertaking establishment IN
Newport. An undertaken from Green's
burg, Ind, is preparing the body for
shipment to the latter place, where 1t
will be buried
Sheriff Plummer of Newport insists
that the crime was committed in Ken
lucky, and this afternoon demanded
the custody of Jackson, Walling and
Wood, who are held in this city. They
will probably be surrendered to the
Kentucky authorities tomorrow, unless
the prisoners refuse to go without requi-
sition papers.
This afternoon Jackson told the Chief
of Police that on Friday night Walling
returned from Fort Thomas and left
two vaIises at Legner's saloon. II met
Walling there" he said, "and took one
OF the valises. Walling took the other.
We walked over toward the college. On
the way we saw two students of the
college coming toward US. Not wishing
to meet them, we turned down Little
Richmond street At Central avenue
Walling and 1 parted. He went to the
college. His valise contained my bloody
trousers. 1 continued down Richmond
street and emptied the contents of my
valise into a sewer a. square or so from
the corner of Richmond street and Cen
trail avenue The valise contained some
clothes and something else, don't know
what"
The police made a search of the sew
ers and turned up the trousers.
jackson and Walling were brought
sv5 from the cell room Of the Central
tatian this morning and taken to the
Police Court The men stood side by
side betwesr two officers and neither
looked at the other during the proceed
ings. Jackson seemed the cooler of the
two. When the Judge had asked the
prosecutor if he was ready to try the
cases, the latter asked for a. continu-
ance. The case was continued to Feb
ruary 18th. The two men were taken
to the County Jail.
The bottle containing chloroform
found in Walling's room bore the label
of Dr. Myers & Co., Hamilton, Ohio.
DR.. Myers says he does not know Wall
ing, and that he cannot tell whether or
not he sold him the drug, or when.
This morning Walling limited that a
doctor of this city was mixed up in the
murder. At noon he was asked to give
the doctors name. Walhng said: THE
doctor I mean has nothing to do with
this case, only that jackson had a con-
versation with him in which he asked
the doctor about poisons and the way
they worked. That doctors name is
Littler, and he boards at a house on
Ninth Street"
Shortly after this he told Mayor Cald-
well that jackson gave the girl four
grains of cocaine in sixteen drops of
water, and then drove her to Fort
Thomas, where he cut off her head.
Evidence is accommodating to show
that the girl was alive when she
reached Locks farm, where the body
was found.
DR.. Crane, who made the post mortem
examination, made a second and more
careful analysis of the blood and
stomach, and found no sign of any
kind of poison. This is in direct con-
tradiction of Walling's confession
Will Wood, the alleged betrayer of
Miss Bryan, has been sent to jail in de-
fault of $1,000 bail The charge is con-
spring to produce a criminal opera
ton.
