looks as though he Is fast breaking down,
very short time he will confess all. His
brother-in-law, DR.. Post, OF Grenecastle,
arrived in the city Friday morning. He
said that he came here 10 see Jackson and
render him all the aid possible.
A rather interesting scene was witnessed
In Central station early shis morning when
the squad was lined up for ron call:
Jackson was taken from his cell and
marched down the line in order that all
the men could take a look at him. At the
Sam Corbin. In his hand was small

SAMPLE OF THE CONFESSIONS.
At noon to-day Walling was locked UP
in one of the private rooms in the City
Hall, where no one could interfere, with
Mayor Caldwell and Chief Deitsch. He
made another confession. in which he said:
FOR several days before the killing jack
son would sit in our room at night and
read a medical dictionary to find out all
about the effect of poisons. He finally Sc
lected cocaine as the one most suitable for
his purpose. He finally took four grains
of cocaine and put IL in 16 drops Of water
His object was to give Pearl Bryan this
poisonous solution so that the muscles of
her throat would be paralyzed TO prevent
the girl from making an outcry while ne
was cutting her throat
II do not know Just how Jackson gave
her the poison but think she took 1t be-
fore getting into a cab. so that II would
have it's full effect by the time She was
driven over to Fort Thomas"
When asked where Jackson met the
Bryan girl before starting for Fort Thorn
as, Walling said he did not know.
Jackson was next cross-questioned in the
room. and repeated the statement that
Walling did the killing and afterward
threw the head into the river. Mayor
Caldwell. who was present. and assisted in
the examination, says he believes that
Walling is telling the truth
Jackson said to a Post reporter: "Walling
gave me bundle Monday night which
dropped into sewer on Richmond street,
a square from Central avenue. do
not know wha. the bundle contained"
When Wall.ng was asked about this state
ment he said. 1T is true. L did give jack
son a bundle. but it was his. He asked me
to carry it TO the college for him, and ac-
commodated him. do not know what the
bundle contained" 1"
The police searched all the sewers near
the corner OF Richmond and Central avenue,
and found blood-stained coat.
A SURGEONS VIEWS.
DR.. c. s. Muscroft was told of Wallings
statement, and he was asked as TO it's prob
able effect. He said: -Four grains of CO.
caine In sixteen grains OF water would make
what is known as a 25-per-cent. solution OF
cocaine. an unusually strong poison. The
usual solution USED is 4 per cent There is
no doubt that such dose would be fatal,
but how soon / am not prepared to say.
The first effect would be condition of pro-
found coma. If she recovered from that
collapse would follow. 1t is possible that
such a dose was given to her and that her
neck was cut before death ensued In that
event the penetration of the knife into her
which might account for the evidences of
the struggle. In such a case the action of
the heart would be greatly diminished,
which would account for the fact that the
blood did not squirt out in stream, ii
would do with the heart in its normal con-
dition, or, If he gave her prussic acid, death
would follow SO quickly that the blood would
not get a chance to CONCEAL, and the hemor-
rhage would be copious. If, however, prus-
sic acid was administered ii was done prob
ably without the girls knowledge, within a
foot OF where she lay. One drop of the poi
sen injected hypodermically would kill her
before the needle could be withdrawn"
DR.. Muscroft agrees that IL death ensued
from chloroform and the body had been car
ried from this side of the river to Fort
Thomas there would have been much blood
was cut off.
Here is another story told by Wa,ling.
according TO reporter. He said that the
girl had been killed in cold blood. Poison
was injected beneath her skin by hypoder-
mic syringe. After her death the head was
severed in order TO prevent the Identification
OF the victim and the pursuit and arrest of
the murderers. Il think Jackson killed the
girl Friday night" he continued IF you

stuff in the room. / asked him what ii
was He said it was arsenic and cocaine.
He Ts;,l said he & vas going to give i to the girl
son used the mixture of cocaine and
arsenic: He said he thought that the
poison had not killed the girl instantly. and
he went to sever the head
On Wednesday before the murder" Wall
ing said, Il think Jackson went to see the
girl at Wahingfords saloon. I was there,
but did not go into the back room where
the girl was. IL was after midnight when ne

BLOOD-STAINED RUBBERS.
officer Fink Thursday afternoon made a
discovery which may throw some more
light on the subject. In making his rounds
along Longworth street he heard that a
man known as DOC" had left a pair of
rubbers in Clara Batess resort on that
street. He took the rubbers to police head
quarters. and several spots were found on
them which are believed to be blood stains
The Bates woman was brought before Col
Deitsch and Walling shown her. She
identified him as the man who left the rub
bers at her house Sunday night. walling
did not deny this, but said that the stain
on the shoes could not be blood, as he had
not seen any for several weeks, and then
only in the dissecting room at the college.
blood stains will be made i'm order to learn
whether they are blood stains or not. The
shoes looked as though they might have
been washed.
Mrs. McNevin. who keeps the lodging
house at 22 West Ninth street, where Wall
ing and jackson ro0med. threw more mys-
terry about the dark affair by some remarks
discussing IL this morning. II don't know

but Jackson was home. ] know this, be-
cause he came down into the sitting room
and borrowed some ink. He said he wanted
