PEARL BRYAN's MURDER.
Jackson's Attorneys DO Not Deny tho
Identity OF the Body.

Cincinnati. April 22.-The trial of Scott
jackson. charged with numbering Pearl
Bryan. moved in a gallop today. Six wit
nesses were examined In the forenoon and
four In the afternoon. The purpose of the
examinations in the forenoon was to es-
tabiish the identity of the headless body
found near Fort Thomas as that of Pearl
Bryan, and TO prove that she was mur-
dered at the very spot where she was
found The identity of the body was strik-
ingly proven by the abundant evidence
that the bloody check dress was Pearl
Bryan's, also the shoes. the stockings, the
hat and the blood-stained underwear. Ex-
pert testimony of Coroner Tingley, Sur
geons Carothers and Joe Jenkins was In
troduced to prove by the condition OF the
body as they found II that the killing was
done just where the body was found. and
that the health of the victim was perfect
A lay figure dressed In the clothing found
on Pearl Bryan's body was brought into
court, but the bloody dress presented such
horrible appearance that the objection
of the defense was sustained.
In the afternoon the defense began TO
cross-examine witnesses. 1t then became
apparent that the defense by It's failure to
cross-examine in the forenoon virtually
admitted that the body IN question was
that of Pearl Bryan, The cross-examina-
ton in the afternoon indicated two lines
of defense, one that the body was killed hy
some drug several hours before 1t was be-
headed where ii was found; also that ali
confessions OF Jackson were made under
duress. we're not voluntary, and will be in-
competent as evidence.
