THE PEARL BRYAN MURDER
la Process OF Slow Solution by the
Authorities
Cocaine Was Used to Produce Insensibiiity,
and Jackson Admits Purchasing the
Drug-The Latest Details

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. S.-Another days
closed without a positive answer to the
questions that have been preplexing the
police and public concerning the time,
place and Mariner of the death of Pearl
Bryan. There is practically no question
about the criminals, for in spite of the as
sertions of Jackson and WalIing-each
placing tho crime at the others door, there
is unimpeachable evidence that both are
guilty. While the prisoners, under advice
and protection Of legal counsel, have not
been subjected to such searching examina-
tions on yesterday and on the day before,
yet they have not been able to repress
their nervous desire to be saying some-
thing about the case as opportunity af-
folds. Walling has stated since his arrest
that Jackson, on Wednesday night last,
wrote letter to Wood and addressed it
to South Bend. Mayor Caldwell wired the
postmaster at that place to forward
the letter to him. Today it came. Calling
Jackson's attorney, the latter gave his con-
sent to have the letter opened. 1t was
dated February 5th. The mailing stamp
showed s 80 PM, about two hours before
jackson was arrested. The letter shows
cunning, as if written with fear that it
might faH into other hands.
Several new clues have been found to-
One is a blood-ciotted lap-robe in a cab
which has already been suspected to be
the cab used by the murderers in bringing
home the girls head. Another is the ideI-
tfllcatipn of the prisoners as tho men who
ferried across the river from Dayton, KY,
early Sunday. The story is that one of the
men kept his hands in his overcoat pockets
all the ,inle attracting attention thereby.
The slow pro 's of solving the Pearl
Bryan murder ystery now points to
Thursday night The night of the murder
and to the use cocaine. Druggist Ulen
of West Sixth i has Uotitied tho police
that on Wed. " before the murder
jackson asked him for q drachm of COCO
aine. The druggist had not SO large a
quantity on hand, but told jackson he
would get it. jackson returned later, but
not having money enough to pay for
drachm, took less. jackson ADMITS the
purchase, but says he gave the cocoaine to
Walling.
Late in the afternoon jackson and Wall
ling were taken to EppIcy's undertaking
headless body of their victim, which had
been brought over from Newport. No sign
of remorse, nor even of any kind of emo
ton, was visible in their faces.
To add to the unparalleled ordeal, Mrs.
Stanley, the sister of the dead girl, went to
her murderers and begged them with a
woman's tears coursing down her cheeks
to tell her where she might lind her sisters
head. But nothing moved them and,
heartbroken, the weeping sister was led
away. Tonight the body of Pearl Bryan
was given up to her relatives.
The grand jury is in session at Newport.
Ky. 1t will, no doubt, induct both jackson
and Walling. Neither will go to Kentucky
without a reuUiSition
