10 the Closing Chapter They

Final and Tricky Appeal to the Gov

Bryan's Murderers.

NEWPORT, KY, March 2o.--Scott Jack
son and Aionzo Walling were hanged to-
day. The once promising lives of the
young dental students paid the penalty
to-day on the gallows for the murder of
the pretty country girl, Pearl Bryan. OF
Greencastle, Ind. The scene was at Fort
Thomas, and the date February 1, 1895.
The victim was decapitated to prevent
Identification. and the head has never
been located. The arrests, trials, "col-
fessions" and general progress to the
awful sequel of to-day have been largely
spectacular, especially the closing hours
of the tragedy this morning in Newport.
Nearly all the forenoon Walling's fate
seemed swaying in the balance, and the

announcement of The clemency granted
by Governor Bradley. Walling went TO

son slept a little. From that early hour

must hang at 1880 the prisoners sat at
the windows of the Jail. facing the crowded
courthouse yard with every appearance ot
unconcern. On the gallows neither was
deserted by the bravado that has marked
their conduct ever since they first posed
before the public in the celebrated tragedy.
At IL 40 the double trap was spruug and
they swung in midair twenty minutes be-
fore the horrible work of strangiing was
complete.
The time originally set was O'Clock,
but almost as the start was made for the
gaIlows Jackson made another 'confes-
sion'' in which he said Walling was not
guilty of "wiltul murder"
Again the Governor was appealed to al
Frankfort by wire, Jackson himself tele-
graphing: "Walling is not guilty OF this
critie but / am"
Finally Governor Bradley after patient
investigation OF Jackson's tardy attempt
10 save his comrade, including long
distance telephone consultation with
Judge Helm, the trial Judge, and the at
torneys in the case. sealed the doom ot
both by declaring against further delay.
Jackson is said to have left still another

An amusing Episode of the Right at
Carson City,


Carson City.
DENVER, COL, March 20.-E. Curtis OF
New Orleans rode into the Union depot
last night in the Pullman Ell Reyo, en-
route home from Carson City. He had
ridden there in as much state as If be were
the owner of a private car. All it cost
him was the price of single round
trip ticket. On his way there the rail-
roads tried 10 bluff him out by asking him
10 change to another car that was going
in the same general direction, but Curtis
said that he had been solicited to buy a
ticket in a through car and he had con-
sented. If the railroads, could not get
any more passengers from New Orleans it
was not his fault, and he would hold them
to the strict letter OF his contract.
At Denver they told him that the
wheels were out of order, but Curtis said
he was something of Judge of wheels
himself and wan:ed to have the fact
demonstrated.
Managers of every line ordered the car
containing the passenger cut out, but
when it came 10 doing so they revoked the
order.
In Nevada Curtis was awakened at mid
night by rough-looking delegation that
came in 10 have look at the man who
would not be biuffed by railroad, and
his notorieiy became burdensome; but he
stuck to his car and to-day Will go south,
after sleeping in the yards here.
Curtis was master OF ceremonies at the
Olympic when Corbett bested Sullivan.

Fifty workmen searched the river all

The current is so swift at the point where
the accident occurred that it is believed
the corpse has been carried down the
stream. A reward for its recovery has
been offered by the railroad company.
The list of injured is as follows: j.
