Jackson then told of Pearl Bryan coming to Cincinnati on Monday and sending a note to him at the college, and of his meeting her at the Indiana

house the next day.

Cincinnati, April 80.—IT. trial of Scott Jackson was reopened at Skdo a. m. Wednesday. The prisoner was led in, looking neat but rather anxious. He is evidently ageing very fast. The prosecution sprang a surprise in the testimony of Mrs. Sarah Seither, who lives on the Licking pike. She stated that on the Thursday morning before the murder, while on her way to Newport, she met Jackson and Walling going south on the same road and that they iusulted her. Mrs. Alice Stelfel, who lives on a road leading to the Alexandria pike, testified that some time after midnight on the morning of Feb. 1 she heard a vehicle being rapidly driven past her home toward the Alexandria pike. Dr. Edwin Freeman, the professor of surgery in the Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati, was the next witness. His testimony was most damaging to the defense.' When a hypothetical question in which the condition in which the dead body was described was put, he answered positively and without hesitation that decapitation must have taken place during life. Dr. Freeman testified that had chloroform and cocaine been administered the vicrim would have roused when decapitation was attempted. "Dot” Legnur identified the valhe left by Jackson in his father’s saloon and also identified the prisoner. Legner said that the valise the first time Jackson left it weigh* d three or four pounds and the second time was apparently empty. Electrician George W. Davis of Cincinnati described the electrical arrangements of the sensitive cell and what he heard over the wire when Jackson and Walling were in the fly cells. Colonel Deitsch of the jMili ’o department of Cincinnati was put on the stand. He proceeded to detail the conversation of Feb. 5, just after Jackson's

arrest.

Attorney Crawford objected, hut was

overruled.

The colonel handed Jackson a telegram for his arrest. Jackson read it carefully, and then exclaimed: “Uh, my God, what will my mother say.” lie said he did not know where Pearl Bryan was. Jackson asked: “Must 1 tell about this?” Tne mayor answered that he did not have to unless ho wanted to. Shortly after reporters were admitted. This was the last of that interview the colonel had with Jackson. He had another on the morning of Feb. 7. Lieutenant Reukert told him Jackson wanted an interview with him. Jackson was brought to him. “Colonel, I want to talk to you." said Jackson, and he said he did it voluntarily. No one had spoken to him about having this interview. Jackson then commenced to talk rather rapidly, and the colonel made him talk more slowly. Jackson said he was with Pearl Bryan frequently during the last holidays. He said ho was intimately acquainted with her. He said he had gone walking with her. He said a man named Will Wood hod written to him about Pearl Bryan alter Ja< ksou came hack to Cincinnati, asking for advice about Pearl Bryan, who was in a delicate condition. Wood wanted to know what to give for a criminal operation. Jackson admitted his intimacy with the girl. He wrote Wood, telling him what to do on Walling's advice. Wood answered that it had no effect. Then he talked with Walling again, and Walling said: “ricud her up here and we'll attend to it.” Jackson then sent for Pearl Bryan, he said. At tins ixiint in the interview a red satchel was brought into the

colonel’s ofiice.

The bloody satchel was handed the colonel on the stand and he identified it, Jacksou said the satchel was Pearl Bryan’s. Jackson said he got it from Pearl Bryan on Tuesday, Jan. UN, at the Indiana house. Jackson said he had taken a walk with the girl. Jackson went on. Ho talked witlt Pearl about the eity, etc. Pearl Bryan asked him to talvl* care of the satchel, us she wanted to leave the hotel, lie took it to his room, at S22 West Ninth street. The colonel asked Jacksou to look into the satchel. Jackson's attention was called to the blood spots in it. He said ho didn’t notice that before. He had opened tiie satchel when ho took out Some of Pearl Bryan's clothes ; nd threw them into the liver. Walling was with him. He said the only reason for throwing the clothes into the river was to get rid of them. He threw out on his hist trip underwear shirt, stoekings and part of a dress. He made another trip and threw smaller articles needles, thread and shears—into the j

river.

The colonel suggested that the spots

John Leguer a student named Hackelmnu wanted to borrow it. He intended to tell Hackeltaan, but he did not. He afterward took the satchel to the saloon corner Ninth street and Central avenue,

The colonel asked him why he thought Pearl Bryan’s head had been in the

satchel, and he said he didn't know.

Jackson admitted that while in Indi anupolis he had been arrested and fined $10 and costs for visiting a house of ill

Miss MeNeviu was pronounced by old and experienced attorneys one of the lies! witnesses they had ever seen on the stand. She told u straightforward story, and told of having seen Jacksou in the house every morning, noon and evening from Monday, Jan. 27, to Friday, Jau. 81, inclusive. She was kept on the stand from 11 o’clock m the morning till nearly 8:80 in the afternoon. The prosecution appreciated the strength of her testimony in the prisoner’s behalf, which verified in almost every dt i ail ■ Jackson’s own account of Ins movemigits that week. Colonel Nelson conducted the cress-examination, and it is doubtful if a witness wa- ever subjected to a more rigid one. Colonel Nelson, whose reputation as a cross-examiner is well known, used every art at his command to break down Miss McNevin’s testimony, but succeeded in weakening but few of her statements. Whether from this or other causes Colonel Nelson, for the prosecution, grew more sarcastic than usual in his remarks, whether addressed to the witness on the stand, the attorney for the defense, or the court. Colonel Crawford refused to overlook one of Colonel Nelson's caustic remarks. Whether because Hushed with seeming promise of victory, or nettled at the treatment of his witnesses. Colonel Crawford resented a personal reference to himself from Colonel Nelson. He asked the protection of the court, and declared his intention of holding his opponent to account personally for his language, and outside the court. A thrilling scene followed. The court rapped severely for order, and commanded Colonel Crawford to it'strain himself. Ladies hurriedly left tiie room, and many knowing the high sense of honor of both gentlemen, and appreciating the feeling that had sprung up between them, feared a tragedy. When Judge Helm had commanded sil uce, he informed Colonel Crawford tlia'. be was guilty of contempt, and ins .ueted Clerk Reuscher to enter a tine of $25. Ci ih uel Crawford at once asked for a check, and filled it out for the amount named. Order was restored, but the two gentlemen glared at one another the remainder of the alteruoou, and from that time on Colonel Crawford addressed his remarks to the prosecution to Colonel Loekart. Both gentlemen refused to patch up the matter nner court, and The friends >r botii fear there may bo more trouble before the noted case reaches an end. The jurymen did not witness the scene, having been sent from the room before the

trouble began.

Other witnesses during the afternoon were Mrs. Jennie Gurvernnd Miss Minnie MeXevin, sisters of Rose McNevin, whose testimony further strengthened

Jackson’s alibi, and Dr Post.

Depositions were read from Alma Crane of this city, and John Morris,

The woman I met on the evening of Friday, Jan. 81, is Georgie Baker.

She is known here as Evans.”

On cross-examination he said: "I came in ou a freight train. The conductor's name is Charley Ayres.

said he was in tiie jail when Coachman Jackson went there to identify Scott Jacksou. The reporters and Walling and Jacksou exchanged coats. It was 10 minutes before the coachman identified Jackson. He did not identify the dental student until someone yilled: “Jackson, take your hat off!” The prisoner obeyed and the coachman stepped forward and identified him. Shafer told of the diffb-ultios expirienced by the parry which accomp uued George Jacksou on the test drive to Fort Thomas. Henry Motz was secured to pilot the party over the worst part of the road. It took a long time for Jackson to locate the scene of the murder. During the night Jackson identified two spots as the place whore the girl was lifted over tho fence. Dr. T. J. Wacy’s deposition was road. The deponent is a professor in tho Ohio dental college. Jackson was present at the operative clinic on Thursday and Saturday afternoons, Jan. 80 au i Feb. 1. This Is supposed to contradict the testimony of Mrs. Weeks, the spiritualistic medium of Bellevue, Ky. Mrs. Weeks testified that Jacksou and Pearl Bryan culien on her that aftern ion. Judge Helm ruled*hutusob :oltoachcr can not testify from a rollbook ns to a pupil's attendance; ho must testify of his own knowledge, and the prosecution's objection to Dr. Wacy’s deposition was sustained. ' W. T. Ayres of Greeueastle, Ind., deposed that Wood’s moral reputation for morality in Greeueastle was not good. Wood's reputation, ho said, for truth and veracity was not good. M. T. Cook deposed that he has known Will Wood since last September. His deposition about Wood’s reputation fi r truth and veracity was that it was not good. Jesse Johnson, a teacher of Greencast! 1 , also made a deposition, which was read. The defendant lias known Wood three years. Ho regards the young man’s reputation for veracity as

bad.

Before Colonel Crawford read further depositions he suggested that the ladies present should leave the room. “Those laaios who desire may retire from the room at this time,” said Judge Helm. There was uo stir, and the court said: “All ladies are requested to leave tho room." Men, filled up the seats. William J. Grooms’ deposition was the first taken from the table by Attorney Crawford. Thu prosecution objected to a part of it, because it sought to impeach Will Wood for statements made out of court. Tho judge said the questions might show that some one else hud motive in the case besides the prisoner, and ruled accordingly. Grooms stated in his deposition that he is a st uncut and a musician. Will Wood said to the deponent: “I am in tough luck.” Ho mentioned a girl iu connection. Ed Hunt's deposition was the next which Attorney Crawford desired to read. A part of it was stricken out by Judge Helm. Hunt knew Pearl Bryan seven years and was her schoolmate five years. Will Wood on three occas-
