JUSTICE IS SATISFIED Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling Hanged at Newport. WALKED FIRMLYTO THEIR DOOM. Jackson Faces the Crowd of Two Hundred Hpectators Unflinchingly. but Walllug Show* Nervousness—Proclaim Their Innocence From the Death Trap—Jackion’s Body Cremated. Newport, Ky., March 20.—Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling, the convicted murderers of Pearl Bryun, were hanged today in the jailyard. Story of the Crime* The discovery of the crime for which Jackson and Walling were today hanged was made in the early morning of Feb. 1, 1896, the headless body of Pearl Bryan of Greencastle, Ind., being found in an obscure part of JohnLocke’a farm,adjoining Fort Thomas, Ky. The sensation created by the finding of the body and its subsequent identification are well remembered. Identification led promptly to the arrest of Jackson and Walling, who were attending dental college in Cincinnati, and soon a series of circumstances were developed pointing clearly to their guilt. It was shown that Jackson was first: introduced to Miss Bryan by Will Wood, son of Rev. D. M. Wood, and himself a cousin to the victim, and that the first step in the crime was the ruin of the girl, who was of excellent family. On Jan. 27, 1896, Miss Bryan reached Cincinnati, with a view to being assisted in covering her shame, and was subsequently killed. Jackson and Walling have all along contended that they had no knowledge of the girl’s death, but yesterday an alleged confession was made public in which they admitted participation in an attempted abortion, with Dr. Wagner pf Bsllevue, Ky., as the principal. In this admission they attempted to shift the responsibility, but the story was given little credence. No trace has ever been found of the missing head, the statements of the condemned being to the effect that they never saw it after Dr. Wagner severed it and took possession thereof. Every means in the power of the friends of these two men were exhausted to save them from their fate, but without success. RESPITE REFUSED. Governor Bradley’* Plain Statement In Refusing the Prisoners’ Prayer. Frankfort, Ky., March 20.—1 n his statement refusing to interfere in the Jackson-Walling case Governor Bradley said, in part: The common law concerning the crime admitted in the confession to have been committed is in force in this state. The confessions show that Pearl Bryan Was killed by drugs administered to produce an abortion. If this be true, she being quick with child, as shown by the evidence, the child was killed also. Her death was caused by drugs deliberately administered, the. effect of which clearly manifests an utter disregard for human life.

The confessions, however, are inconsistent and contradictory, utterly at war with every statement that each of them made on the witness stand. It is urged that this should be overlooked, because they were then swearing for their lives. Conceding that the false statements were made to escape the danger pending, it may well be asked how much greater is the danger that is now about them when they stand in the shadow of the gallows. If they are excusable for swearing falsely then, how much more are they excusable and how much more likely is it that they would apeak falsely now. These men have not only trifled with human life, but have trifled with the courts, trifled with the execution and set at defiance the laws of God and man. If it be established that one criminal, after such conduct as this, can by *a mere pretended confession obtain a respite, then every other is entitled to like treatment, and this would result in frustrating justice and bringing the execution of the laws into contempt. The wounded hand of Pearl Bryan solemnly and surely point* to the fact that she was not dead when beheaded. That wound could have been inflicted only when during the terrible agony of her decapitation she raised it in order to ward off the cruel knife. Dr. Wagner is in the asylum, and is the man of all others, by reason of his condition, at whose door the defendants would most naturally lay this terrible crime. To grant a respite in order that the defendants might be used as witnesses to procure his conviction would result in a delay of at least a year, and in view of the various conflicts in defendants’ statements no jury would, or could, believe any statement that either of them might make. Their poor mothers are entitled to sympathy, but no more than the mother of Pearl Bryan. The law has been set at defiance and the fair name of Kentucky stained with another bloody murder. My oath is that “I will see that the laws are faithfully executed.” Respite refused. William O. Bradley, Governor of Kentucky. LAST HOURS. Jaakson and. Walling Apparently Indifferent to Their Fate. NkWpobt, Ky., March 20. —The prisoners arose early, ate their breakfast, and Rev. Dr. Lee was ushered into the room where the condemned men were spending their last few hoars singing and joking. Jackson and Walling appeared at the barred windows and looked down upon the crowd. A reporter remarked to Walling that he was “game” and the latter replied: “Why shouldn't I be?” The prisoners then withdrew from the window, and it was the last the crowd saw of them. They were arrayed in black cheviot suits procured for them by Sheriff Plummer. Hangman Fouth and Sheriff Plummer tested the gallows, about 8:80, the former oiling the nooses and slipping them backward and forward to make sure they would work without friction. The sheriff stood upon the fatal traps to test their strength and then tried the lever to see that it worked all right. Everything was complete. Jaekaon Playa For Time. Sheriff'Hummer proceeded to the jail and told the men to get . ready for the scaffold. Jackson began crying. He called Bey. Lee add Walling to face

him and then said to Sheriff Plummer: “I want to say before you all that I do not believe Lon Walling is guilty of premeditated murder.” Rev. Lee said: “What do you mean, Scott?” ”1 mean jnst what I say, I do not believe Lon Walling is guilty of ptem'editatod murder.” ' Jackson then broke down. Colonel Washington was sent for. He asked the sheriff to telegraph Bradley. Plummer thought it would do no good unless Jackson would give details, but this he would not do. Finally the message was sent, the i governor replying if Jackson would j make the statement on the gallows that Walling was innocent, to hang Jackson ' and suspend the sentence of Walling, I otherwise to proceed with the double | execution. But Jackson would not say I Walling was innocent. Sheriff Plummer went upon the scaffold and asked the 200 persons in the inclosure to keep quiet and uot make any demonstration during the execution about to take place. DEAD MARCH. Both Meu Mount the Scaffold With Firm Steps. Newport, Ky., March 20.—After Sheriff Plummer had announced from the scaffold that the hour had arrived for the execution there was painful silence for a few minutes, when it was announced that the prisoners had left the jail. From the cells the procession passed through the kitchen to the scaffold inclosure. Suddenly the gate was thrown open and in walked what seemed a funeral procession, with the exception that there was not a coffin or a hearse to be seen. First came Sheriff Plummer. At hi* side walked Executioner Fauth. Rev. Mr. Lee, with Bible and hynal in hand and head bowed, followed the sheriff. Immediately behind him walked Jackson and Walling. Already tney wore the black caps. So jauntily did these awful ar tides of attire set upon their heads that they might have been mistaken for young boyish, clean shaven students in their college dress bad they worn robes instead of the plain black business suits which had been provided for their death. There was not a tremor in the carriage or countenance of either man as he ascended the scaffold and faced the crowd which gazed up into their faces. Both were pale, but seemed fearless and determined. Walling Become* Nervous. It was quickly apparent that Walling would not last long if there wasy great delay in the execution. He waved forward and then backward untjl his shoes squeaked with the movement. His lips trembled and his eyes blinked and winked with nervousness. Jacksbn stood as if he were a piece o. statuary. As soon as the men faced the crowd Sheriff Plummer said: “Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling I am here for the purpose of carrying out the mandate of the governor of this state, as expressed in the death warrants which I read to you on last Tuesday. Scott Jackson have you anything to say?” Jackson hesitated fully two moments before he replied. BfVorehe spoke Walling turned expectantly, evidently believing that Jackson would speak the words which would save his life. Jackson, without looking at him, or even at the crowd or sheriff, with upturned eyes, replied: “I have only this to say, that I am not guilty of the crime for which I am now compelled to pay the penalty with my life.” “Alonzo Walling,” said Sheriff Plummer, “have you anything to say?” Walling said in reply: “Nothing, only that you are taking the life of an innocent man, and I call upon my God to witness the truth of what I say.” * Rev. Mr. Lee then sang the psalm “I Save My Soul In the Haven of Rest,” and read from the Bible as follows: Look unto me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for 1 am God, and there is none else. Isaiah xlv, 22. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John iii, 16. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mathew xi, 28. And the spirit and the bride says come. And let him that is the atheist come, and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely, xxii, 17. After which Rev. Lee delivered the following prayer for the doomed men: Our Father, our Savior, our God, we pray you that you shall receive the souls of Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling and save them; that they may be worthy of thee, and trust in thee, and in thee alone, for life and salvation. O Lord, O Christ, thou who didst save the thief who died on the cross, be with them today. Oh, admit these boys in thy love, in thy mercy, we ask, and rely upon thee, Jesus Christ, today and forever. Amen. The minister then bade the doomed men farewell. He said: “Scott, goodby, Lonnie, goodby. I ask in the name of the Lord right now, that you engage in a secret prayer that your souls may be saved.”

The reverend gentleman stepped back and Deputies Moore and Hindman advanced to adjust the ropes and straps. Moore seemed excited. He pulled the noose so tightly and so violently around Jackson’s neck that the murderer groaned, “Oh! oh!” It was not until the noose was drawn that Jackson seemed to fully realize the horror of his fate. The black caps were quickly drawn down over their faces, and at precisely the trap was sprung by Sheriff Plummer. The men shot down and their souls were in eternity. Both men strangled to death. Jackson Cremated. Undertaker Costigan took charge of Jackson’s body and immediately drove to the crematory at Clifton, where arrangements had been made to receive it. Mrs. Jackson is opposed to cremation but she could not afford to send the body east and had learned there was opposition to its burial at Greencastle, and so concluded to have it cremated. The ashes were sent to her at Greencastle' Sunday. The remains of Walling were shipped to Hamilton, 0., and placed in a vault yesterday. They will be buried at Mt. Carmel, Ind., where his father and ether members of the family are buried or sent back to Clifton for eremation, in case objection should be raised by the villagers to its burial.

THE MANIAC IN THE CAR. — r A Drama With a Satisfactory Ending For AU but the Nervous Woman. It was perfectly obvious that the man in the corner was crazy. At least it was perfectly obvious to the nervous looking woman who sat just opposite him in the cable car. It was not so much the mystical series of wigwag signals which he was making with his handkerchief as the amazing contortions of his face. In the intervals of these contortions he stared intently in the direction of his nervous vis-a-vis, but at nothing in the world, so vague was his look. Then he would tap the bridge of his nose with his finger, grimace and screw’ up his features into horrible expressions of malignant madness. The poor woman didn’t know what to do. Her alarm was so apparent that all the others in the cap noticed it, even the man himself in one of his lucid intervals, and thereafter his performances became more violent than ever. Every physician knows that maniacs delight in playing upon the terrors of those who exhibit fear of them. Perhaps the woman herself knew it. At any rate her 'feelings finally reached an intensity such that when the man half rose from bis seat she shrank into her corner with a stifled Squeak, which brought from him a glance of triumph, or perhaps it was surprise. But he only sank back again, with an expression of disappoint ment, as if his time had not yet come, which indeed it hadn’t. Thereafter she held herself gathered close, with every muscle strained, ready to spring and flee. She didn’t have long to wait. The man looked toward her with that terrible, unseeing glare. His fists clinched. The handkerchief clinched in one of them jer’-cd in short, sharp oscilla tions. His eyes began to bulge out. His face became purple. Beneath Jiis curling lips coulu be seen his teeth, bare to the gums. He leaned forward toward the honor : ‘ruck woman, his face protruding almost info hers. His sharp, hot breath was on her cheek, and just as his arms went up to clutch she made one bound from her seat that took her half way down the car. Two more leaps landed her on the platform. Thence, with a mad yell, she launched herself forth, despite the restraining grasp of the alarmed conductor, and was fortunately caught by a police man, who escorted her to the sidewalk, where she wept. From behind she heard a mad, gasping roar of baffled rage, but the maniac did not follow. He didn’t want to. He sank back in his seat again and wiped his 1 earful eyes. Then he took out a newspaper and began to read. It had been a hard struggle, but it had ended in victory. He had got that sneeze out.—New York Sun. Ah Anagram. Somebody sends me the following anagram, as having a curious bearing on our occupation of Egypt, not to mentio any other recent territorial acquisitions: “Great Britain—Grab, retain it”— Loudon Truth.
