Eevidence Against Scott Jackson Is I Sealing His Fate(

DETECTIVE CRIM'S TESTIMONY^

Be Gives a Detailed Account of the Fart He Played In Bringing the Murderers of Pearl Bryan to Justice—Women Scut

Prom the Koopx While Wood's Letter* Were Being Kead.

NEWPORT, Ky., April 28.—Not only was every available seat in the courtroom filled before the court convened, but the occupancy of standiugroom in narrow passages was permitted. Ten witnesses were examined, 52 up to the present time. Much timu was devoted to debating by counsol. Many questions during the day offered by the commonwealth were ruled out. The number of objections by the defenso overruled was too great to enumerate. Twice during the day the jury was required to retire during debate. For the lirst time during the trial the court gave notice to women to retire because the letters of Will Wood to Scott Jackson were not proper for them to hear. It has been the policy of the prosecution to bring out the bloody garments of the dead girl every day since the trial, and this was adhered to.

Detective O I ill's Testimony.

The first witness called by the state was Detective Cal Crim. In response to the questions of the state, I10 said: "I am a detective and was detailed on the Pearl Bryan murder case. I went to the spot where the body was found on Saturday, Feb. 1. Detective McDermott and Sheriff Plummer were with me." On the witness being asked to describe what he found 011 the spoi, the first objection of the morning came from Colonel Crawford, but it was overruled. The detective described the blood spots on the ground. "There were blood drops on the leaves." he said. "Mr. Mc-Dermott placed his finger under the leaves, and his finger was stained red, I think, by blood. I took one of these leaves, and I have it in my posses6ion now." The leaf was examined by counsel and by the jury and was placed in evidence by the state.

Continuing, the witness said: "I have earned that leaf in a boon since I plucked it. I also discovered out at the 6pot where the body was found two spots of blood—one on the bank. There was also an impression as if some one had sat on the bank. 1 also found some foot tracks. They were made by a rubber shoe. The foot was a small size— probably a woman's." Pearl Bryan wore rubbers when her body was discovered.

The rubbers were in the court, and, being shown to the witness, he testified that he believed the tracks he saw were made by those rubbers. The witness also described the blood on the privet bushes, saying that it hung from the leaves in drops, coagulated. Continuing he said: "I made a search of Scott Jaokson's room on Feb. 9. I found a pair of lady's stockings. A trunk contained a lot of letter's addressed to Scott Jackson. There was a lady's pocketbook in the trunk. I11 a closet I also found a cap." The cap and stockings were produced and identified. The detective further said: "I found two pairs of white gloves in the room."

The proceedings were delayed while the jurymen examined the gloves carefully and finally handed to the stenographer. The examination proceeded. The witness said: "I found some handkerchiefs in the room back of the trunk—two or three lady's hankerchiefs. I also found a lady's pocketbook." This was identified and placed in evidence, together with a small piece of gold chain found inside.

Jackson's Statements.

The witness was tht/i asked what Jackson did or raid, but this brought out an objection from the defense. The objection was overruled and he proceeded: "Jackson said that he believed that Walling had killed the girl. He said that he had promised Welling $50 to perform an operation on Pearl Bryan, and he sent for the girl. He believed that Walling killed her. To this Walling replied, in Jackson's presence: 'You know you lie. You know you killed the girl yourself.' Walling also Baid that Jackson had given the girl cocaine, and he told us wiiure we could go and find the druggist who sold the drug. Walling said that he met Jackson a few days before their arrest. Jackson had a paper in his hand, and said: 'I see these damned detectives are working 011 these shoes. They will pet us into trouble yet.' Ho said that next day he saw Jackson, who said: 'Those detectivcs have gone to Greencastle. Things are looking damned bine for us.' To this statement of Waiting's Jackson replied: 'That's a lie you know it's a lie.'

Colonel Crawford made a motion to strike out of the record all this testimony. Colonel Nelson, in opposing the motion, said that in this case incriminating circumstances had been confused with confessions. He argued that Jackson had accused Walling and that Walling had accused Jackson, and there was nothing in the transaction in the nature of a confession. He said that not one of the state's witnesses, not even Judee Caldwell, had testified to a confessit 1 of either Jackson or Walling. He thought the conduct of these two defendants toward each other should go before the jury. Colonel Kelson argued this matter for 30 minutes.

Testimony Killed Out.

Judge Helm in deciding the point, eaid: "I am of the opinion that this testimony |should not go to the jury. The defendant is entitled to have all witnesses Bworn, and it seems to me the admission of whatever Walling has said is olearly incompetent.1'

Colonel Nelson then asked of Detective Crim: "Will you tell us what pari of the statement of Walling Jackson, (denied, and when he denied it?"

Another long argument ft-are" roiiowect, hut the witness said that Jackson said that all of Walling's statements wer« untrue. Continuing he said: "Jackson said that ho and Wallirq bad thrown away Pearl Bryan'a dotlx ing, and a skirt and a pair of curling irons in a coat, and Walliug wrapped np the underclothes. He said they went to the Newport bridge and threw the things over. They made two trips to the river. I heard the conversation next morning. We did nothing to 2nake Jackson talk."

The cross-examination brought out the fact that Crim took Jackson from the cell to the mayor's office. At its conclusion Colonel Crawford argued to support his objection to the introduction of testimony as to what Jackson had said. The witness then told of Jackson's telling about getting rid of the clothes and throwing his coat in the sewer. He said: "Jackson gave no reason for getting rid of these thinsrs." In an nreminent by Colonel Crawford, as to the impropriety of a question put to the witness by Colonel Nelson, Crawford said: "I regard it as highly important that these witnesses shall be given 110 intimation of what is expected to be proved by them. I don't bar any of them from Chief Deitsch down."

The witness then detailed a statement made by Walling about Jackson. It was all struck out of the record, and the judge warned Colonel Nelson to be careful what questions he asked the witness. The witness then said: "Jackson and Walling were brought into the presence of the headless woman brought from Ft. Thomas. Walling said: "I have every reason to believe that Jackson killed her.' Jackson said: 'I believe that body is that of Pearl Bryan. I guess it is because I can see her relatives nere.' He also said: 'I believe Walling killed her.'

Heard Over the Telephone.

Continuing, the witness said: "The prisoners, when arrested and placed in the publio building of Cincinnati, were placed in cells close together. There was a partition between them. They could talk together* I heard a conversation between them." In reply to Colonel Crawford he said: "It was a sensitive cell, by an arrangement of telephones invisible to the men in the cells everything that mid could be heard upstairs. It is not very easy to hear upstairs what was said in the cell. The apparatus used is new. I do not know if the apparatus was ever tried on any other prisoners. The prisoners were brought to the jail by myself. I was acting under Chief Deitsch's orders. The chief said he had all the arrangements. No one said anything to the prisoners about the secret apparatus. I know I did not. It was our purpose to keep them in ignorance of the arrangements. They were brought to the Cincinnati jail after the order of court had been made giving the prisoners into the hands of the Kentucky authorities."

Colonel Crawford tried to get the testimony of the witness ruled out, bin the judge held that it was competent. When the witness testified that he had not heard all the conversation, Judge Helm stopped him and sent for some textbooks which he consulted on the subject. He held that the witness might testify.

Detective Crim, in response to a question from Colonel Nelson, "Tell what you heard them say," replied: "Jackson said, 'Fred is all right.' Walling said, •I wonder how they are going to take us over the river?' Jackson said, 'Any old way.' Walling said, 'You're all right, old boy. Stand pat. You have played your part well.' Then the prisoners talked low, and I could not hear them. Jackson also told Walling to stand pat when he got over the river. I remember going down to South Bend for Will Wood. I was on the train coming here with him." "I'll ask you if Wood's uncle was with him?" asked Colonel Nelson. "I object," said Colonel Crawford. "Are we going to try Wood in this case too?" The objection being overruled.

Continuing, the witness said: "I saw Dr. McGee hand Will Wood a letter." An objection was made to the continuation of the testimony along this line. The objection was sustained, and the witness wits then handed over to the defense. Colonel Crawford had the testimony of the witness before the coroner. He questioned him as to one or two discrepancies in the two statements. The witness was then excused.

Saloonkeeper's Testimony.

John W. Ligner, a saloonkeeper, testified that he knew Jackson and Wailing. Jackson frequently drank beer at his place. He said: "He "iime in one Saturday night and iisked me to take care of a saciiel for him. He left it there until about iO o'clock Sunday evening, when he came and got it. On the following Mo?iday night he brought it again and left it a few hours. I did not handle the valise."

Witness identified the valise. He said further: "Mrs. McDevee's house, where Jackson and Walliug roomed, was right across the street from my place. Jackson was in my 6aloon the night of arrest. He came in for a pitcher of beer.''

Harvey Hays of Greencastle, Ind., testified as to Pearl Bryan's shoes and Lieutenant Safferans and Detective McDemott also gave a another description of the immediate surroni,dings of the corps early after it was found.

NEWPORT, Ky., April 29.—The public evidently expected sensations in yester-. day's testimony. The courtroom and the streets in its vicinity were crowded. The sheriff had to use measures to keep the crowd in the com dors from pressing the door to the courtroom. Many persons from a distance were present, among those Rev. Dr. TV A. Fullerton of Georgetown, D. C. It was expected that George H. Jackson, the colored cab driver, would testify in the forenoon. That sensation was postponed till afternoon. When it did take place, the sensation did not come up to expectations. Eleven witnesses were examined during the'day and probably tho prosecution will require all of today.

Edward Anthony, an Enquirer reporter was the first witness in tho morning and testified regarding the finding of Scott Jackson's coat in tho sewer. The witness was positive the coat was wrapped in a paper of a date a mouth prior to the arrest.

Lieutenant Saffarans was recalled and answered a few questions regarding the ground where the body was found.

Tiigeler Got Dates Mixed.

The next wiliiese was William Fegcler, a shipping clerk for tho John Church company. Ho said he knew Walling. Saw him on Fob. 28. Colonel Nelson told him to --"C his dates right.

The witu sr.id, in reply to questions: "I ra::e a daily paper every day. I read about :e Ft. .Thomas murder on March l.irku:!:." This caused a laugh, and the threatened to clear the courtroom. V'.ie witness was so inistent that he htii! .-.eon Walling 011 Feb. 28 that the c,,uyr, in spite of objection of the defense, explained to the witness that the L".iy was found on Saturday, Jan. III. \v':th tins information the witness got together in his tacts. He said: "I saw Walling at about .noon. I could s::e him very plainly. He was standing by a window. There was a yountr lady with him. She had on a black hat.'' He identified Pearl Bryan's hat. "When they left they walked toward Fourth street. The woman seemed to do the talking. I have since seen the man in jail. I am certain it wus Walliug. The girl seemed to be in trouble."

Charles S. Yickers, complaint clerk of the Cincinnati police department, Dr. E. N. French, and Detective Witt were also examined during the forenoon.

The letters of Scott Jackson to Pearl Bryan extending from early in 1895 until the middlo of November, that year, were presented to show that he was keeping up an acquaintance with that

lady.

Liveryman Mullen's Story.

Tho principal evidence in the afternoon was that of Chester Mullen, the liveryman who testified that he hired a cab on Jan. 31 to Alonzo Walling and that it was kept out nearly all night.

William Cassidy, a butcher, testified that on Jan. 31, about two hours after midnight, he was driving across the bridge from Cincinnati to Newport and was closely pressed by a cab drawn by a grey horse driven as if it was in a great hurry, toward Newport.

Negro Jackson Testifies.

George H. Jackson, the colored cab driver, related the story of his trip from Cincinnati to the place of the murder as the driver of the cab and identified Walling as the man who sat beside him. The cross-examination was not as severe as the public had anticipated.

It elicited some points that the prosecution failed to bring out. He said: "Friday night, Jan. 81, at 8 o'clock, I left McGregor avenue, Mt. Auburn, and went to 1 Smith court, where I drilled the Caldwell guards. "I turned the guards over to the lieutenant. It was then about 11:45 o'clock.'1

He went on with two whita men of Company K, First regiment, he said. "I saw Walling," he continued, "at about 11:30 p. m. As I was walking along George and Elin Wailing came to us and asked: 'Who wants to make$5?' 'What doing?' I said. "He said, 'driving about a square beyond the Newport bridge.' I told him that I'd take the job. I asked him where his $5 was, and he said I ought to do the job first. I said 'all right.' He said he had a sick patient he wanted to take over. "He went up Elm street. I waited about half an hour, when the carriage drove up. I drove down Elm to Third, then to Broadway and then to the Newport bridge. Just then the man who hired me got up beside me to direct the way.

Sheriff Plummer was put upon the stand to describe the situation where the body was found and to relate some interviews he had had with the prisoners, which failed to bring out any confession.

The last witness was Mr. Bryan, father of the dead girl, who testified that Pearl Bryan was visited by Jackson, and that she was his sole housekeeper during the absense of Mrs. Bryan in New Mexico with an invalid daughter.

The story of the negro cab driver did not differ from that told by him 011 or about Feb. lo, when he first made it known.

Jackson Getting Anxious.

Scott Jackson is growing anxious on the point as to whether or not he will be called 011 the stand. He asked his attorney, Colonel Crawford, what the intention was in this respect. Crawford told him that it would depend altogether on the character of the testimony yet to be submitted by the prosecution.

The prisoner has aged in the last few days as perceptibly as an ordinary man under ordinary circumstances would in as many years. The lines in his facu have deepened. He flushes more deeply than he did.

Detective Witte, who is a face expert, says that he has watched Jackson carefully since his arrest. He looks 10years older today, the detective thinks,"than he did ou the night of Fob. 5, when ho was arrested.

1

Ramsey "Washington, one of tho attorneys for the prosecution, said yesterday that the last witness for the state would probably be heard sometime today.

Most of the evidence for the defense is in the form of depositions and their presentation will not take as much time as the testimony for the prosecution.

NEWPORT, Ky., April 30.—With the mercury in tho 80's every seat in the courthouse was filled yesterday, but no one was permitted to occupy standingroom. Late in tho afternoon the commonwealth announced that it closed. The defense waived the usual custom in such cases in Kentucky courts of stating to the jury what it proposed to show. The court thereupon adjourned till today. Attorney Crawford for the defense says he will have about 45 witI nesses and about 25 depositions to offer.

This, with the arguments, will carry the case into next week. The prosecution has examined 73 witnesses and occupied eight days, including one day in securing a jury. The frequent refusals of the defense to cross-examine witnesses and the waiving of his statement to the jury last evening when the commonwealth rested, lends mystery to the future policy of the defense and raises expectation that it has some surprises in store.

Ghastly Photographs Shown.

James Clardo was tho first witness examiued. In response to questioning by Colonel Nelson, he said: "I'live in NewDort: am a nhototrrauher: have been

for 20 years. I have been in Newport nine years. I saw a headless body at the morgue. I went thorp three or four times with the sheriff and with Pearl Bryan's biother. I made some photographs of the body." Taking a package from Colonel Nelson, he added, "These are the photographs I took.' The pictures were gruesomely realistic. They were handed to the defense, and were examined by Colonel Crawford and the other consul for the defense. Jackson stood up and looked over Colonel Crawford shoulders. An expression of indifference was on his face as he looked at the pictures of the mutilated body of Pearl Bryan. Colonel Nelson wanted to hand them to the jury.

Colonel Crawford asked if he might ask the witness a question. He asked, "Were these photographs taken before or after the postmortem examination?" "After the autopsy," replied the witness.

Colonel Crawford then objected to the introduction of the photographs, but the objection was overruled.

The photographs caused a sensation among tho jurors, one or two of whom actually shuddered as they looked over the group. They were of the hand, showing the cuts: the foot, the shriveled neck and other parts of the body. A second bunch of tho pictures wero'identified by the witness, and then handed to the jury. The wituess testified that the pictures were made by tho instantaneous process, and had not been retouched at all. There was along delay while the attorneys for the common.wealth held a whispered consultation.

The next witness called was Sarah Serthen, who testified to meeting Walling and Jackson 011 the Thursday before the murder on the Licking pike about a mile from Newport at 8 o'clock in the morning. She also identified Jackson's cap.

Mrs. Alice Stoifor, who lives on the road from the Licking pike to tho Alexandria pike testified to hearing and seeing a carriage pass her house on the night of the murder. She said the vehicle was moving rapidy and did see who was in it.

More Expert Evidence.

The next witness was Edward Freeman. He said: "I am a doctor and reside on Walnut Hills. I am president of the surgical institute. I was an army Burgeon during the war, and was with General Grant at Fredericksburg. I have had a great deal of experience in decapitating dead bodies. I have operated a great deal on the necks of living persons."

The witness was then asked a hypothetical question on the condition in which the headless body was found. It was if A body found under conditions and circumstances in which the body of Pearl Bryan was found, whether he would say that decapitation took place before or after death. Colonel Crawford said to the court that tho question was, so general as to be misleading to the witness. He said this is based on the supposition that the veins and arteries were thoroughly drained of blood. There is nothing to warrant this assumption. Colonel Crawford also pointed out that the hypothetical question mentioned a quart of blood.

He said that none of the witnesses had testified to more than a pint and a half of blood. He objected to the description of the ground where the body was found in the question he thought that the putting of such a question was unfair and improper. He said the question went right to the heart of the case, that the jury had been trying for the last seven days and a half.

Judge Helm said that he could not invade the province of tho jury to point out what facts had been proved ormight be considered proved. The objection was overruled. The question was repeated, and in reply the witness said: "Iwould answer that tin* wounds were made during life. Nulling but heart action would so drain the arteries and veins as they were drained. There is no retraction or contraction of the tissues after death. Muscular activity ceases within two or three minutes after death."'

Judge Helm asked: "Did you understand that the body was ou an incline, with the neck the lowest part?" "Yes, sir, I did the inclination could not affect it."

Counsel Hays: "Was the heart still acting when the arteries were severed?" "It WILS." "Assuming these conditions to be true, what, in your opinion, was the cause of death?'' "The hemorrhage was the cause—the catting of the arteries and the severing of the spinal cord." "Continuing, the witness said: "Had tho head been severed after death, the cut would have left 110 retractions of the tissues and the arteries would have retained tho blood. The splashing of the bushes with blood spots, it seems to 111c, indicates the shifting of the body and the spurting forth of a great volume of blood from the large arteries of the neck. The blood in the surrounding bushes could not have been there by the moving of the body, if if had been moved when the head was cut off after death."

The witness's testimony created a great sensation, as it seems to clinch positively the fact that the murder was ennimit'.torl nn t.liie ulo of tli« vivn.r. One of the photographs of the dead girl's body was shown to tho witness, and hesaid: "From the appearance of the'contracted skin 011 the neck, at the edge of the wound, I should say that the wound was made during life." "Have yon any doubt about it?" "Not in my own mind, sir."

Firm In nis Opinion.

On cross-examination the witness said: "The work of the undertakers in embalming before this photograph was taken would not change my opinion. If they had drawn the skin forcibly back from the neck and had bunched the tissues, I would not be so positive." After a long wrangle between counsel, the witness said: "If the undertakers had been ordinarily careful my answer to the first question would have been the same. I do not think it could have been accidental. It could have been done purposely. If a dead body had been decapitated the ends of the arteries would not have protruded. The protrusion was caused by the retraction of the tissues. The tying of the string around tho base of the neck tightly would have a tendency to draw the skin slightly back." "Might not some spots of blood appear on leaves foi\r or five feet away from where a dead body was decapitated." "I don't think it would be there. If

tne raw necE were camea arouna dragged up and down ana across, thero might be blood on the leaves. It might cause the appearance of the blood in drops. A body of the size of Pearl Bryan would lose about 11 pounds of blood. It would be about 11 or 12 pints."

The cross-examination by Colonel Crawford was directed to prove that the decapitation of the body occurred after death. The witness admitted that tho blood might remain in a liquid state in the body for eight or 10 hours. Warmth would help to do it.

JLegner's Evidence Damaging.

Dot Legner, son of John W. Legner, at whose saloon Scott Jackson left Pearl Bryan's valise on Saturday night, Feb., 1, took it away on Sunday, Feb. 2, returned it and left it awhile on Monday, Feb. 3, was a most important witness. He said he handled the valise on Sunday morning and it was quite heavy that he handled it on Monday again and that it was very light. The inference of the commonwealth is that' on Sunday it contained the head, and on Sunday night Jackson took it away to dispose of tho head and returned it empty on Monday. Superintendent Deitsch tho Last Witness.

The last witness, and the one who was kept 011 the stand the longest, was Colonel Phil Deitsch. superintendent of the Cincinnati police. His testimony was contested at every point and much of it was ruled out as inadmissable. What was accepted as competent has all been included in the story of the case during the week following the murder of Pearl Bryan.

The court excluded every thing of this testimony as to what Walling said in the presence of Jackson which Jackson did not admit. That excluded all testimony of this class by Mayor Caldwell as well as by Colonel Deitsch.

These colonels' testimony was accepted as to Jacksons alarm when arrested and his exclamation, "Oh My God, what will my poor mother say," repeating this twice walking the floor part of the time. Jackson's admission to the colonel that the bloody valisle was Pearl Bryan's and that ho took her clothing out of it and throw it into the river was accepted in evidence. Jackson's accusation of Walliug as the murderer of Pearl Bryan was also accepted. Tho colonel said Jackson sent for him to have these talks with and was admonished by tho mayor that he need not talk unless ho choose to do so.
