The Shocking Murder of Poor
Pearl Bryan
Brings Grief and Horror to Two
Topeka Homes.
TERRIBLE DISCOVERY.
Mrs. E. n. Yates and Mrs. w. S.
Hamrick
OF This City Find That the Muir
dered Girl
is EIR SISTER,
IS THEIR SISTER,
Who Resided With Her Father,
A. S. Bryan,
At Greencastle, Ind.-Fresh De-
velOpments Today.

Pearl Bryan the young woman whose
Kentucky highlands about half mile
south of Fort Thomas last Saturday
morning has two married sisters residing
in Topeka.
They are Mrs. E. N. Yates of 11S West
Sixth street and Mrs. W. s. Hamrick of
North Topeka and they and their fami-
lies are almost hsartbroken over the
horrible affair.
For week the papers all over the
United States have been full of the
finding of Miss Pearl Bryan's headless
body in Kentucky near Cincinnati.
When her body was found there was
no clue but shoe, corset and a wom-
ans check dress. The shoe was
traced to firm in Greencastle,
Indiana, and in that way it was
learned that the body was that of
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S.
Bryan, prominent and highly respectable
citizens of that place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan supposed their
daughter had gone to Indianapolis to
did not learn that she was not there until
two days after the murder.
The story of the discovery of the MUIR
der and the subsequent arrest of Scott
Jackson, medical student of the Ohio
state university. and of William Wood, a
son of Rev. D. A. Wood, Methodist pre-
siding elder, are now familiar to the
readers of the daily papers.
Scott jackson, the dental student has
now made confession jim which he i'm
plicates Alonzo NJ. Walling and WalIing
and Jackson have been making confes-
sions ever since, one of which appears
on the second page of this paper.
When seen by STATE JOURNAL re-
porter today Mrs. Yates sister of the
murdered girl said: 1--WE are almost
heart broken over the affair. We have
been watching the story of the awful
murder in the papers and some days ago
we came to the conclusion that the Pearl
Bryan referred to was none other than
my youngest sister,
81 am the oldest of the family and she
is the youngest, she is a few months .
than my son, Eugene. Yester-
day we received letters from home that
confirmed our suspicious. My fathers
family are highly connected in Putnam
Indiana, and the families of the
young men implicated in this horrible
affair are all highly respected people
and most of them are connected with De
PAuw university.
"Will Woods mother is my own cousin
and it is especially hard to understand
his part in the matter"
Mrs. Yates manner was very much
ag gitated, and the reporter did not press
her for further details.
Mr.. Bryan. the father of the murdered
girl, has visited in Topeka many times,
but he never lived here. A brother of
the young woman was here several
years ago, aud for a time clerked in n.
F. ConKle's dry goods store in North To-
Deka.

DISGRACEFUL.

Today there came an explanation of
the charges of drunkenness that have
been made against some of the members
of the metropolitan police force.
The private cellar of Frank Durein at
the corner of Fifth and Kansas avenues
has been the object of visits from mem
bers of the force and Mr.. Durein is angry
and says he will show no mercy.
Mr.. Durein says that night before last
PatroImen Hobson- and johnson and
Special Officer Haisch took some of his
beer to the police station where it was
drank by members of the force. Mr..
Durein says that the raids on his cellar
have been going on for two months or
more.
To a JOURNAL reporter today Mr..
Durein said: II get my beer by the bar
rel from Kansas City for my own use,
and / sometimes had whole barrel at
time in the cellar. l have been won
dering where the beer went, and on one
or two occasions l found the door of the
cellar open.
"At others found some cats have in
the cellar on the outside in the morning
and 1 became suspicious. This morning
Sergeant Ellison came to me and told
me the boys had been taking my beer
and asked me to not say anything about
it. He apologized and said the boys
would pay me for the beer they
had taken. told him fhat would not
do. That the police had not showed me
any mercy and was not under any obIi-
cations to them. l have never lost any
thing in this town, except by the metro
poliran police"
Chief Wilkerson was asked about the
matter but was reluctant 10 talk about
it, 81 am satisfied" said he, "that there
is something in the charges and they
will be thoroughly discussed and investi-
gated by the police commissioners to-
night. This is a most unfortunate affair
and it was first called to my attention a
day or two ago"
Night Jailer Hopkins was seen at his
home at the corner of Twelfth and
Kansas avenues. He said: "The beer
was brought to the station by Officers
Hobson, johnson and Haisch and the
men drank it. l tasted some of it. lam
the night jailer, and l never saw
beer drank at the station but once before.
When the last beer was drank, Sergeant
Ellison was not at the statioa. He was
at home sick"
Clean out the police force!

DEATH BY COCAINE.
Pearl Bryan Now known to Have
Been NJ MIlrsleEed WITH the Dcn2.

CINCINNATI, Feb. S.-The slow process
of solution of the Pearl Bryan murder
mystery now points to Thursday night
as the night of the murder and to the
use of cocaine as a means to the vile
end. Druggist Ulen on West Sixth
street has notified the police that on
Wednesday before the murder Jackson
called at his place and asked for a
drachm of cocaine.
The druggist had not SO large a guam
tity on hand, but told Jackson that if he
would call later he would supply him.
He did return later, but not having
money enough to pay for drachD, took
a less quantity. Jackson admits the pur-
chase, but says he gave it to Walling.
jackson persistently says he did not
see Pearl after Wednesday, although the
saloonkeeper, Walling ford, says Jackson
and a woman corresponding in appear
ance to the description of Pearl Bryan
were at mis- saloon together on Friday
night.
jackson spoke with regret of his in
day night, though he could tell clearly
and Friday mig hts.
The Iandlady where be roomed ac-
counts for him up to about 1890 when
he went up to his room, but she cannot
tell whether he remained in the house
after that time or not There is no trace
yet found of a stopping place for Pearl
on Wednesday.
Since Jackson confessed yesterday to
the clergy he has become very Jealous in

Just as the Paper Was Going to Press
Foreman Loses His Life.
PrTTsBURG, Feb. a-An early morning
fire at McKeesport. Pa, destroyed the
Altmeyer theatre, in which was the
Mckeesport Herald.
The fire started on the fifth floor of
the Altmeyer building and is supposed
to have been caused by defective cleo
trio light wiring The flames were dis
covered by the printers of the Herald as
the fire began to eat its way through the
sixth floor. The nights work had just
been finished and the paper was about
to go to press.
When the flames were seen rush was
made for the usual points of egress, but
the stairways were already impossible.
The only resources left were the windows
and elevator shaft. All but G. M, Barton,
the foreman, succeeded in sliding down
the rope. His escape was cut of and he
was burned to death.
The loss on the Altmeyer theater
building and the Herald plant is estimst
ed at $lG5,000 aud on the other building
$25,000.

Severe Charge Against Thornton.
WASHINGTON. Feb s. = Delegate
Catron, of New Mexico. is greatly dis
pleased at the impression that he was
acting under the advice of Gov. Thorn
ton, of New Mexico. in his efforts to
prevent prize fighting in. the territory.
Mr.. Catron not only denies that he
has received the governors co-opera-
ton. but, makes the: direct charge
that the governor abetted Dan Stuart IN
his efforts to bring off the fight. Mr.:
Catron made the following statement to
the Associated Press: The statement
has been published substantially that the
action by me on the prize fighting bill
was on the advice and at the request of
Governor Thornton. Governor Thorn
ton never consulted with me,
never advised me nor requested
me to do anything in regard to that sub
ject. From inform alton which l have re-
ceived from New Mexico, l believe that
Governor Thornton, while pretending
that he would like to stop the fight was
actually acting in collnsion with Dan
Stuart, in order to have the fight come of,
had advised Stuart that there was no law
in New Mexico which would enable him,
or, authorities to stop the fight and sub
stantially informed Stuart that the fight
might go on although he could not open-s
ly consent"
As soon as the bill had been signed
last night, the officials here telsgraphed
the United States attorney in New
Mexico to see that the law was enforced.
