CINCINNATI, OHIO, March 1S.-Scott
Jackson and Alonzo Wallinc, sentenced to
hang for the murder of Pearl Bryan, in
Covington, KY, tonight submitted their
Confessions" to the persons with whom
they had Exclusively" arranged for their
presentation to the public through the
press tomorrow.
Governor Bradley of Kentucky, upon
hearing that the alleged confessions were
ready insisted on considering the matter
at once. Jackson's confession covers six
pages and Wallins's three. They do not
deny being implicated in the causing of
the death of Pearl Bryan, but claim that
her death was accidental and not intended
by them at all. They say death resulted
from an overdose of an opiate admins
tered preparatory to an intended criminal
operation. A third person is mentioned.
1t is said Governor Bradley will not res
pite either man as their confessions"
to night directly contradict their sworn
statements during their trials.
The third person mentioned is said to
be professional man who has almost
from the date of the murder been an in
mate OF public institution undergoing
treatment. There is no attempt made TO
locate the missing head of the victim,
which they claim was carried away by the
person. The decaptation OF course was

brated his last mass. He showed himself
devoted to the end and did not cease to
minister to the needs OF the sick and
dying until his falling health absolutely
compelled him to do so.
He was fully cognizant of the approach
of death and received the last sacraments
in spirit of perfect resignation. No i'm

than the weakness due to accumulating
years.
The remains were conveyed to the Gen.

Father Maraschi was IN many respects
one of the most distinguished and able
members of the Jesuit order on the Pacific
Coast, and to his remarkable executive
ability and financial acumen the present
importance of ST. Ignatius College may be
directly attributed. He relinquished his
position as the principal of tnat institu-
ton many years ago. He always retained
the management of the funds and e1er-
cised general supervision OF all depart
ments. He was also director OF the La
dies Sodality connected with the church.
Father Maraschi was born at Oleggio, in
the diocese of Novaro. Italy. in Septem-
ber, 1920, and studied philosophy and
theology at the seminary OF Novaro. In

WORDS FROM CARSON.

A Remarkable Feat With Four
Hundred Thousand Of Them.
One of the great features of the big
event at Carson was the stupendous task
performed by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
On the day OF the fight about 400, 900
words OF press reports, besides the great
number of messages at com mmercial rates,
were fled IN the i'm provised Office at Car
son, and the bulk of this vast quantity of
matter was filed after pm. and intended
for publication all over the country the
next morning.
-Four hundred thousand words" will
not convey any definite conception of
quantity to many people, but the job was
the biggest one by far in the history OF
prize-fig ighting, and has been rivaled by Ma
tional conventions only.
To handle this business the telegraph
company had at the start one wire from
Reno to Carson. The entire plant was
practically rebuilt and eight new wires
were strung, the cost being $4,000.
Quadruplex circuits and Wheatstone
multiple1 systems were put in and forty
operators provided. w. J. Martin, super
intendent of the San Francisco Office,
arranged the electrical facilities and
Superintendent Jaynes took personal
charge.
Nearly 100 press correspondents rushed
in their respective reports together. but
news was spread at the rate of 10000
words an hour and though it was three
hours later in New York every Eastern
as we'll as every coast paper was served in
time, winning many voluntary compli-
ments from leading journals. The eight
wires will rest in wait for another Carson
