TRIAL OF SCOTT JACKSON.


State Strengthening the Case Against the
Young Prisoner.
NEWPORT, KY, May a-Dullness char
acterized the trial proceedings In tho
Scott Jackson case yesterday. Much
time at intervals was spent in whispered
consultation between the court and coun-
sol for both sides. The attendance was
smaller than usual. Five witnesses in
the forenoon and two in the afternoon
were used to strengthen the proof that
George H. Jackson identified Walling in
the Hamilton county jail, and two were
used to corroborate the story of his won
derful midnight ride with the murderers
and their victim.
Other evidence tended to break down
the character Of Scott Jackson, the prison.

tion. I only wish to say the extent of my
wrongdoing in taking human life con-
sisted in the death of two women, they
having died at my hands as q result Of
criminal operations.
Il wish to state here, so there can be no
chance Of misunderstanding. that I am
not guilty Of taking the lives Of any Of
the Pitzel family-the three children an d
Benjamin, the father. Of whose death I
Yas condemned, and for which I am to-
day to be hanged. That is all have to
say"
Did He Lie In the Face OF Deathf
Whether what he said is true is prob.
ably known only to his spiritual adviser,
Roman Catholic priest. to whom, it is
said, he made q clean breast during the
last twenty.four hours of his life. Indeed
It is probably not known to tho priest.
For If he lied at the supreme moment
that is II he stated to the small crowd
which saw him hang that which did not
agree with what he confessed to the priest
how could that priest have proceeded fur.
Their with his Officer What he told the
priest will never be known A few min
utes after he had made his speech the trap
fell from under him and his neck was
broken and that was the last Of one who
will always be considered . most devilish
murderer.
Last Day Of the Alurderer's Life.
He was undoubtedly the most stolid Of
any in that assemblage Of more than
fifty men. The pallor Of his face was no
deeper than the ordinary prison bleach
and no stood erect, gazing steadfastly be-
fore him until the horrible black cap shut
out his last look at earthly things.
Holmes spent his last day of life un-
eventually. During the day Holmes wrote
letters Of farewell. 1t is understood that
these communications wore addressed to
his wife in Gilmnnton, N. H.. and Georgi-
anna Yoke. of Franklin. Ind, the So
called third wife, whose testimony did
much to bring about his undoing. He
also penned a letter of instruction to Ro-
tan, his counsel. Absolute secrecy is
maintained regarding the contents Of
these letters.
Was Merry to the Last.
The prisoner exhibited no lack Of nerve
at the last, neither was he defiant. Tho
only sign Of defiance that he made was
just after the priest left. "Am ner.
vOus," ho demanded, stretching his hands
out to Keeper Weaver. They were steady
Is a rock. Holmes smiled and retired to
the rear Of his cell. He declared that he
had never felt better in his life. Soon
after this the priests returned and re-
manned with him until the end. Mean.
time q nervously expectant crowd had
gathered outside the gates of the gloomy
old prison, which resembles in architec-
ture, a medieval fortress. A rope had
been stretched across the entrance to the
passageway leading to the convict depart
ment, and inside Of this were assembled
the sheriff, city officials jurors and news
paper reporters who had been admitted to
witness the execution.

ENGAGEMENT RING LAWS.

The law of the engagement ring is a
momentous question which has been
brought up for decision in one of the
courts of New York. a young gentle
man sued his once dearly beloved to re-
cover a ring, valued at $3.50, which ne
gave her as a pledge of his affection
1t appears that times changed and
minds changed, and with the death OF
his affection the young man believes
that he is entitled to the ring that is
now being flashed in some other fell
lows jealous eye.
In this claim the young man I'M
doubtedly has the backing of the laws
of etiquette, when demand that when
young people find their hearts desire
has changed, they must return each to
the other all presents except such per-
ishable goods as candy, peanuts, flow
ers, kisses and theater tickets. There
is nothing written even in the Home
Journals side Talks With Girls
about a return of an equivalent money
value for these.
On the other hand, the young lady
maintains that the $3.50 diamond was
nothing but a fair return for the equiva-
lent of affection and the exclusive priv
ilege of her society from the time the
ring was received till the estrange-
ment. Then again, since the engage
ment is off, she finds the noble father
assisting her with the statement that
her love affair was somewhat eXpens-
i've. There were coal bills, gas bills,
bills for upholstering furniture, new
bonnets and dresses, besides a loss of
time that might have been devoted TO
family sewing and homework. For all
this she urges that ring is but very
small return.
The wit and wisdom bound up in this
law suit would puzzle even the Ha-
waiian lawyers who argue cases in
which the bone of contention is repre-
scented by three-dollar horse blanket
or carriage robe. The law of the en-
gagement ring might be a serious af-
fair TO jewelers., since if the young men
thought they were not going to get
their Jewels back again in case of acct
dent, they would be inclined to adopt
the custom of tying a string around
their lady loves finger. The New York
jury that renders the verdict in the
case ought to include in its list
women members who are anxious to
shine as saviours of their sex from the
heartless tyranny of man.

coNvIcrs AND HUMANITY.

a writer in the Arena gives a short
treatise on mans inhumanity to man.
as shown in the treatment of the fami-
lies of the convicts in the jails and
prisons He says that in the majority
of cases the convict is the sole support
and sole protector of wife and possibly
three. or four children. While he is
thrust into prison for his misdemeanor
the wife and children who are entirely
innocent are left to make their way as
best they can, and possibly suffer more
from their struggle to make their way
than the man in prison does They are
not only Inundated because of the
odium which attaches in such cases,
and because they are Stunned by for
mer friends, but they are deprived of
actual and necessary support they have
been accustomed to receive from their
protector; and, besides. they are bur
dened with debt incurred for the pur-
pose of defending the loved one

Now that a new bicycle club has
started, the members ought to bar out
all would-be racers and monkey
backed" riders in general. Some of our
local youthful cycling spirits couldn'
look worse astride the cow with the
crumpled horn" than they do bent over
to reach handle bars which are appar-
emily as near the ground as possible.
If the club wants a good name, we
would suggest the .'Anti-Monkeyb backs, -
and let one of its working principles be
to weed out the extremely fresh young
men who think the ownership of a
bicycle means exclusive right to the
street and both sidewalks.
