Newport, Ky, June S.-To-dsy was
motion day in the Campbell county
court and this business consumed so
much Of the forenoon as to leave only
an hour and twenty minutes for the
Wal,ing trial. This time was consum-
ed by arguments on the admissibility
of the evidence OF Ed. H. Anthony and
Chief Of Police Pail Deitsch, of Cincin-
matt. given last week. The defense
moved 10 exclude the evidence of both
of these Witnesses; that of Anthony,
because when ne obtained it he told
Walling that he was a detective; that
of Deitsch because he sent for Walling
and told him 1T would be well' or Ill
might be wei" TO make a clean breast
Of it. The testimony of these witnesses
was very damaging. After hearing ar
guments and citations of precedents,
chiefly by the defense, the court ruled
this testimony out and instructed the
jury TO disregard it. Testimony 10 SIM
liar admissions by Walling on different
occasions made to Mayor Caldwell and
Sheriff Plummer. was held by the court
as competent This testimony does not
differ materially from that Of Anthony
and Caldwell. which was disallO@ed by
the court. Moreover. it was powerfully
corrC5orated by Waling himself by ad-
missions he made when under cross
examination on the witness stand this
afternoon.
The whole afternoon from o'clock
till a quarter to 8, AlOnzo NJ. Walling
was on the witaess stand. His mother,
two brothers and a sister-in-law sat
near the prisoner More than TWO hun
dred women were among the crowd OF
spectatO tors outside the bar.
Ii was manifest from the drift of the
direct examination that the purpose OF
the defense was TO threw the whole
guilt Of the murder on Scott Jackson,
and. # possible, establish an ali0l lor
Wallirg himself In his direct eXamfn-
alton Walling said he
NEVER KNEW PEARL BRYAN
till she came here. Furthermore, ne
said he knew Jackson at Indianapolis
but never was intimate with him I'll. ne
came to the dental college at Cincin-
natl. Since the two men came mere
they had.roomed in the same room and
sleD- in the same bed every night eX-
cent the Thursday after the arrest.
This. however. was brought out in
cross examination. He said N both dl-
rect and crOSs-eXaminatiOn that Scott
Jackson first mentioned Pearl Bryan
10 him early in January just after ne
had returned from the holiday vacation
.9r Creenecastle. Then" said Walling,
Jackson took me in corner OF our
roon told me he had Pearl Bryan n
trouble. that he would bring her mere
to have an abortion, and asked me to
helm him. L agreed to help him 10y get
ting a suitable room and competent
physician to do the work. Jackson, a
iittle later. said he would bring the girl
here. give her some quick poison and
kin her in some hotel with the impress
sion that she had committed suicide.
Sdu later he proposed 10 kill her with
Doison IN a private room. cut her up
and scatter the pieces in the city catch
basins ....
He said If. on Monday night January
o. he mad met Pearl Bryan AT the Cincin-
natl. Hamilton < Dayton depot he would
have taken her to Waninsford'S saloon IN
the tenderIoin district. where jackson AGAIN
instructed him to take her. lie said he saw
Pearl BRYAN only three times while she
was here. The first time was Tuesday
when he took a message to her from Scott
Jackson. This was the only time ne spoke
to her. The second time was on Wednes-
day night. when he saw Jackson and a
woman me supposed was Pearl Bryan leav-
ing the WaUurford saloon. The third
time was Thursday night. when jackson
sent him to meet Pearl at The postottice
lie dld not go TO the postofiice but went 10y
and peeped I'm and saw Pearl Bryan with
out her seeing him. He went to the Den
uison House. wrote letters and that Thurs
day night before the murder did not so to
his room. but stayed al Heider's Hotel.
He said the reason he stayed at Heider's
was that ne had become
SUSPICIOUS OF JACKSON
about this sirl. On Friday night. January
81. he saw Jckson at their room at i
o'clock but ne went out with Albion till
midnight ard went to bed and slept all
NIGHT and saw nothing of Jackson till he
awoke I'm the morning. about Q o'clock. lie
was with Jackson at Heider's on Saturday
evening when he first read about a mur-
dered girl near Fort Thomas. Saturday at
noon he had taken package at Jackson's
request and put 1t i'm his own locker at the
college 1t was pair Of pantaloons. He
said they belonged to Jackson. He was re-
ouired 20 put them on and stand before the
Jury. The pantaloons buttoned all right
but were a trihs short. Witness said in his
examination in chief that When Jackosu
first hroached the matter to him just after
the holidays he thought he was talking
through his hat but that now he had every
reason 10 believe Scott Jackson murdered
Pearl Bryan.
Col. Nelson i'm the cross-eXaminatiOn ask
ed Walliug: ''Do you mean TO say to the
Jury that YOU slept with Jackson Satur-
day. Sunday. Monday and Tuesday night
who. as you believed. murdered Pearl
BRYAN. Of waom YOU became suspicious on
Thursday. of whose murderous intentions
toward Pearl Brya nyou knew ever since
the holidays and In all these days read
every day ABOUT the murder. that you
walked with him. ate with him. slept with
him. aud vet never once spoke TO him about
the murdsr?"
Yes. that's what mean. except that on
Wednesday night. February 5th, at Sixth
and Elm streets. Jackson said those id
Shoes were about to give the whole thing
away"
The court announced that hereafter the
trial would continue one houIslonger each
