TWENTY YEARS AGO JACKSON
AND WALLING WERE HANGED
FOR PEARL BRYAN
MURDER

Newport, KY, March 21-Officials in
Newport recalled Tuesday that the day
was the twentieth anniversary of the
hanging in Newport of Scott Jackson
and Alonzo Walling for the murder Of
Pearl Bryan, Greencastle, Ind, whose
headless body was found January 81
1893, on the farm of John B. Lock
Fort Thomas.
The crime and the trial that follow
ed formed one of the most celebrated
criminal cases in the country. The
fact that the girls head never was
found and that neither Jackson nor
Walling would tell where it was
buried increased the morbid interest
which the country at that time mani
tested in the case.
In the years that have followed i'll
luck has stalked in the wake of many
who were connected with the case
Of the jurymen who sat in Judgment
on the fate Of the men, seven that
tried Jackson and four who heard
Walling's case have died. Many of
the witnesses and others, It is said,
also have felt the hand of misfor-
tune.
John Lock, on whose farm the girls
body was found, says more than 5O,-
900 persons have visited the scene of
the murder, according to a registra-
ton kept by him during the decade
following the incident.
One Of the most curious coin
cidences of the case is the fact that
julie Plummer, who was sheriff at the
trial and punishment of the men. has
become deputy sheriff under Sheriff
Boone Gosney.
