A~nfn at Cincinnati.

Again mt Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, April 3.-WiH Wood, Of
Greencastle. Ind. who will be one Of the
principal witnesses against Jackson and
walling, has furnished the prosecution with
a statement which he claims embodies all he
knows about the parties to the celebrated
case. Yesterday the young man, acompa-
MED by his father and his counsel. Major
C. H. Blackburn, met Commonwealth Attor-
ney Lockhart, of Campbell county, Sheriff
P.ummer and detectives Grim and McDer-
mott in the Office of Chief Deitsch. To his
attorneys and the officers he deliberately
recited all he knows about Jackson and
the Inflated girl Major Blackburn sub
jected his youthful client to rigid cross
examination, bringing out every point
pected to repeat on the witness stand, and
which Is expected to go long way toward
tighssning the nope about the PEEK he of
selves as highly pleased. They are now
more confident than ever of making case
against the accused, especially Jackson.
Woods statement Is a review OF all that
has come from him before. He furnished
one new bit of evidence which will have
a strong bearing on the case. After Wood
was arrested In South Bend and was on
his way to Cincinnati with the officers
he was met in Indianapolis by his uncle.
the Rev. DR.. Gee, who gave him letter
from Jackson. who says:
81 opened the letter in the presence of the
officers and read 1t:
Have made big mistake. Don't desert
me. 1 want you to stand by me now, If ever.
The letter was from Jackson. and / de-
stroyed 1t in the presence of the company.
/ came to Cincinnati. and you know the rest
OF the story. OF course, while i have no
proof as to who killed Pearl Bryan, still !
am firmly of the belief that both Jackson and
Walling did IL. for, IL they didn't do 1t, they
are conspirators In the matter, and know all
about IL. / am here to tell the truth, have
nothing to conceal, and am ready at any time
to do all / can to clear the mystery and
bring to justice the murderers Of my cousin"
In his statement Wood denies ever having
had any improper relations with his cousin
Pearl Bryan, and says he took jackson to
her house at her request

CANTON, O., Nov. 5.-Maj. Mckinley
went about town today for the first
time since the election, and was warm
ly greeted by those who saw him. He
took walk early in the day through
the residence section, and about noon
drove to his mothers home with a lib
eral share of the flowers which had
been sent to his house. Driving or walk
ing, he was kept busy acknowledging
saluta lions from all sides.
Maj. Mckinley this afternoon deter
mined to take trip to Cleveland with
in a day or two. Mrs. Mckinley ac-
needed rest. The reports that cabi-
net slate-makers were busy through
out the country caused much good nat
ured comment here today. 1t can be
stated positively that all cabinet COM
ment is purely conjectural. Any. per-
sonal inclinations Maj Mckinley may
feel toward particular men, have not
been communicated to his closest
friends.
Maj. McKinley's touching an electric
key by which the new Niagara Fur
race at North Tonawanda, N. Y, was
put into operation, was an interesting
event of the afternoon. The furnaces
had been connected by wire with the
Mckinley house, so that a touch Of
the Geographic key at this end sent
an electric spark which lighted the
fires Of the furnace. At exactly 2:30
the major pressed the key. Word came
back that the furnaces had started
with blaze amid the enthusiasm Of
5000 spectators. Soon thereafter the
following message came:
Hon. William Mckinley: The new Niagara
furnace has been started by yourself and by
the principles you represent upon whom we
hope is a career Of usefulness in this commun-
ity. As this act is typical of a widespread
starting of the wheels CT industry, the Tona-
wanda Iron and Steel Co. and it's employees
and assembled guests unite in congratula-
tons upon your election and in expressing
the hope and belief that your administration
will bring peace, progress and plenty to the
whole nation.
The information from Washington
as to favorable treasury conditions
made most favorable impression here.
