Oh'o', TcO. oCott
Jackson, accused of the murder Of
Pesrl Bryan, of Green Castle, has con-
fessed duplicating Alonzo NJ. Walling.
Waliing has also confessed to a personal
knowledge OF the murder Of the girl last
Friday night. Wallipg tries to Icy the
whole blame on Jackson. A satchel
which the murdsrered woman brought
here January % was shown to Jacksos
to permit him to examine the blood
stains in it. He would not quite admit
that the head had been in the satchel,
but he said it looked as il it had been
there. Will Wood, n son of Rev. d. A.
Wood, of Green Castle, at South Bend,
Ind. was also arrested on account OF a
telegram alleging that be might be an
sccomplice in thu murder.
LATER-Scott jackson made a confes-
sion, by small statements, because he
saw clouds of evidence gathering around
him. He has not dIvulged the details of
he crime. When be admits the girl
was murdered he does it as il third
person had committed the crime. jack
sons room mate, Alonzo Walling, has
confessed to knowledge of the crime,
but only as 60 between jackson. There
is no doubt but Jackson was the princiP-
el. William Wood, arrested ia South
Bend, Ind, is deeply implicated. A
bundle of letters from Wood to Jackson
bear this part Of Jackson's confes-
sion out. Nearly all of Woods letters
are about girls and some too grossly
Indecent to be read aloud. Pearl Bryan
would have become a mother in four
months. Jackson says Wood is respon-
sible for her condition.
