He was a member of Steele Post G. A. R., and Col. I. N. Walker, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R.. had reappointed him aid-tie-camp of his staff. He was also Interested In the Marlon Soldier Home, He telonged to the Masonic and Knights of Pythias societies. William Swcem, who lost his life in assisting the sheriff, was a member of the Kockville Light Artillery. He leaves a wife and five email children. He was employed by the Parke Bank and the opera house company, having charge of the buildings. He at times performed the services of deputy marshal. He came to Rockvllle several years ago from Sugar Creek township. In the north part of the county. The tragedy of to-day has called many people to town. At the Haske home, where mother ani two children are cold In death, over one thousand curious people have called to see the remains. The father arrived from Illinois, via Bloomingdale, this afternoon. As he entered the house his one remaining child, little Julia, ran to meet him. She put her arms around hi neck, and many wept at the fight. She ha J escaped death by running away from her home. Funeral dates have not been set. At the county Jail where Sheriff W. D. Mull's remains are lying there was a crowd around the house all day. When his son Arthur returned on the noon train there was another sad sight. Old soldiers called to see their late comrade, while hundreds passed through the house viewing the body. He will be buried Monday at 2 o'clock.

His body is still at McCoy's establishment. His home is one to be pitied. His father has almost broken 3own, while his mother tries to be brave. His sister Florence, who la near death's door, does not know of the crime, but she surmises something has happened. It is thought the sickness of Alfred's sUter might have unbalanced his mind, as he was very attentive to her. The pressure of the crowd was so heavy and interfered with the embalming the people "were prohibited from entering. Late In the evening the doors were opened and they poured In to see all . that was mortal of Alfred Egbert. SECRET OF THE SHUT DOWN.

Class Trust Freezing Out Little Factories anil FlKhtinK L.. A. IIOO. Cpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., April 25. Since the organization of the Western and Pittsburg Window-glass Manufacturers' Association there has been chronicled many acts heretofore unprecedented In this business and a revolution in the trade of some nature is near at hand. The suJien settlement of the Ilartford City strike, the midwinter closing of the factories and the shut downs now being made, together with those soon to come, are all radical steps. Muncie has come blowers who are well-known citizens and business-like men, who have been enCased in the vocation for years and for the past six months have been very close observers o! the turns being made by the manufacturers associations. To-day one of these men said: The closing of the C H. Over factory here last Monday, throwing nearly four hundred hands out of employment, was an outrage on the men such as has not been equaled by any of the other sensational stops taken by the association. It is customary as per agreement to give the blowers due notice of a proposed shutdown, but on this occasion not one man was notified until the fire had been turned off, and they were then informed that there would be no more work thl season, and, not only that, but many of the men are dumped at a time when they have no money, and they cannot draw it until the company sees fit to settle. "The associations will be put to an ; expense of $3,000 fcr the one-month shut down of the 130 pots that are now going out. To induce manufacturers to lay idle they made an offer of JSO per pot tr several of the smaller concerns as a remuneration for the time lost to May 29, and thoe selected are accepting. The Eli Window-glass Company at Oilman, will receive 5X), and the Ohio Wlndow-slass Company, at Arcadia, gets a like amount, while C. H. Over, in Muncie, will draw S2.7C0 for closing down his 15-pot tank. As a result of me bribes, nearly 2,000 men are thrown out of employment. "All have agreed on the June 29 shut down, but there is a provision in that agreement that has not yet been made public, and this agreement may resut in some of the factories being operated until the regular time, or longer, if they can find men to work. It is to the effect that ail factories will close down May 2S. but If any manufacturer wishes to pay into the association 35 cents per box for all the glass he makes, he can continue to run his factory, and the chances are that some will pay it." The. informant further stated that the six "weeks that the Chambers factory in Pittsburg was closed, it received $5,000 from the Pittsburg and Western associations for his timeChambers not being a member, of the assoclatkn. He thinks that the whole scheme is beln? worked through with only two objects, that of freezing outV.several ema!!-fry factories and crushing Ii'A.. SCO. "They hope to starve us into accepting their term?, and In that way accomplish the purpose," said he. One peculiarity of the whole thing is to see gas belt factories with free fuel closed, while the men are flockln? from them to the factories In the KasH. where they are being: rushed. Twenty blowers left Muncie last night. INDIANA. POLITICS. Shockney Delecnteit Selected at "Winchester Yesterday. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER, Ind., April 25.

MINME ALLE.V SAYS SHE KILLED MONTGOMERY GIUDS. He Refused to .Mnrry Her and She Shot Hint The Wrong People Convicted 'of the Crime. WATJPAUN, Wis., April 2o.-Minnie Allen, a convict thirty years old, serving two years for burglary, has confessed that on the night of April 20, 1831, at Buffalo. N. Y., she shot and killed Montgomery Glbb?, a lawyer. She lived at Niagara Falls, on the Canadian side, and claims that Gibbs had promised to marry , her. - She says she met him on the corner of Bryant street and Delaware avenue, and repeated her request that he marry her. He refused and she shot him three times. She says she makes the confession to ' clear Clarence Robinson and wife, who are serving life sentences for the murder. She said that at the expiration of her sentence she will go to Buffalo and plead guilty to the charge of murder. She will be released in a few weeks. About a month ago she sent for Bancroft and told him that she had a secret which had been troubling her conscience for a long time. She then told him she had shot Mr. Glbbs in Buffalo. She said that she had first met Gibbs in Canada several years before the murder Und fell in love with him. He apparently returned her affections, but subsequently deserted her. Becoming desperate at the wrong done her by Gibbs, she threatened his life. But the attorney paid no attention to her and sha says that after he left her in Canada she followed him to Buffalo. Again she pleaded with him and asked him to keep his promise, but h erefused to do so. She tnen secured a revolver and on the night of April 26, 1S94, followed him as he was returning to his home. At Bryant street and Delaware avenue she met him and repeated the request that he marry her. When he again refused she shot him down and fled from the city. A WESTERN PEST. Jack Rabbits Bent Anything Eastern Formers Contend With. Providence Journal. New England farmers who are accustomed to think that their own lot. compared with that of their Western brethren, is a hard one, might profitably read the interesting pamphlet on the Jack Rabbits of the United States, which the Department of Agriculture has just issued. The pamphlet is the work of Dr. T. S. Palmer, of the division of ornithology and mammalogy, and contains an interesting history of the work of extermination which has been directed during the last few years against the prairie hare of the Northwest and the' "blacktailed Jack rabbit" of the Southwest. These prolific pests have caused an immense total damage to crops in the transmlssisslppi region. In Tulare county, California, alone, it is estimated that their depredations have amounted to $000,000 in a single year, while one Idaho county has expended mere than $20,000 in bounties for them. All kinds of devices, as in Australia, where they are even more plentiful, have been employed to rid the farmer of their presence, but none has proved so successful as the "rabbit drive," cne of the most picturesque methods of extermination ever Invented by the much tried agriculturist. On an appointed day the neighborhood population assembles at the scene of the drive, armed with sticks and clubs. The railroads issue -half-rate tickets for the occasion and thousands of spectators witness the proceeding. Temporary fences stretch across the country for two or three miles to intercept the hare, and converge at a point where a email entrance to a secure corral ha3 been arranged. For miles around the country is thoroughly beaten by hundreds of men and boys, somi on horseback, some afoot. The rabbits do not burrow, and are easily driven from their Insecure refuses in the brush. They rush by thousands Into the inclosure prepared for them, and there they are dispatched with what must be called brutality, however great the necessity for it. At Fresno, Cal.. where the most successful drive on record took place in 1802, no less than 20.000 hares were thus put to death in a single, day, while there are authentic accounts of no less than "356,400 rabbits killed In 140 drives (in California alone) during the eight years, or an average slaughter of about 44,500 rabbits in an area scarcely as large as the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined!" Similar drives in other States increase the total number of hares killed to nearly half a million, and while this method of extermination is now less frequently employed in California it is still extensively in vogue elsewhere. By such means, together with the more extraordinary methods of extermination and by disease, the total number of jack rabbits must gradually but surely be decreased. It is interesting to know that the animal is being used as food more and more every year, a rough approximation of the number now consumed in the United States In a twelvemonth being COO.000. The fur la capable of commercial utilization also, and it seems as if It might come into somewhat general use as a substitute for the cheaper grades which we now import. Isolation of Consumptives. Medical Record. Southern California, which has been likened by the admirers of its climate to the Riviera, is in danger of growing too like the latter in another respect, namely, as the home of the tubercle bacillus. In many places along the Riviera the once sturdy natives have been nearly exterminated by tuberculosis, contracted by washing the linen of the visitors and in other ways. In the hope of preventing this the Town Council of Alameda has passed an ordinance requiring physicians to report -patients ill with consumption. In order that they may be isolated. Ttoom isolation is tnee.nt. the family being required to give the patient a room to himself and to observe such rules regarding sanitation as will minimize the danger of communicating the disease to others. If this measure appears to work well it will doubtless be applied to the towns farthur down the coast where tuberculosis patients are more wont to congregate. Savins. Time. New York Weekly.

OVER THE DEAD LINE

maceo nnpoRTnn to have droKEV THROUGH WEYLER'S TIIOCHA. Ills Array of Insurgents Xott Said to lie In a Position of Safety Press Censor Stories. KEY WEST, Fla., April 25.-Adv!ces received here to-night state that It Is rumored at Havana that Maceo and the Insurgent forces have broken through the Spanish t roc ha and that they are now In a position of safety. The regular press dispatches from Havana, as edited by the censor, say: The forces of Antonio Maceo have reduced to ashes or ruins the rich district of Mayarl, In the province of PInar del Rio. Numbers of homeless families have sought refuge at San Cristobal. . . Near San Crux de Los Pine the lasur-. gents during: the past few days have hanged twenty-four peaceable countrymen, and It is asserted that hardly a day passes without the surrender of parties at Artemisa of fcad character and charged with common crimes, who went into the rebel ranks for no other reason than to carry out revenges, a fact which has added greatly to the terrible "situation. The local guerrillas at Calabazar, at the Natalia plantation, in the Sagua district, have killed eighteen insurgents, in addition to the insurgent leaders Julio Domlnguez and Ku-erto Sanchez. At Palacio, province of Pinar del Rio, a lawyer named Jose Antonio Coiza, and his two sons, Miguel and Angel, officers under the provost and Antonio Maceo. have surrendered to General Molina. . They arrived in this city later in the day. They said they Intended to surrender with eighty men, but were prevented from so doing by Lacret. Angel Coiza wa3 the provost and secretary of Antonio Maceo and his father wa3 the war auditor cf the insurgent army. It is believed they will be able to furnis-h the Spanish authorities with valuable information. They confirmed the reports regarcAng the bad situation of Maceo's forces and say the insurgents nave orders to rire twice when encountering a Spanis.1 force and tnen to seek safety in flight! Near Cardenas, province of Matanzas, the authorities have detaineJ a woman who was carrying a supply of salt to the insurgents. Captain General Weyir haa rewarded the garrison or Fort Zanja, which made such a gallant resistance against an Insurgent force numbering 3,500, as. derailed yesterday, and he has also rewarded tne troops wao surprised the Insurgents' camp at aaviila, Santiago de Cuba, it now appears that the Insurgents on rhe latter occasion carried away thirty-eight wounded. In several additional skirmishes in the same vicinity Hve more insurgents were killed. The Clerics' Association has contracted with the shipbuilding firm of London for the construction cf a gunboat, whlcn the association will present to the. Spanish government. One thousand bags of sugar continue to arrive daily at Matanzas. According to advices received here the sugar plantations throughout that province are turning out sugar without difficulty. Prices on the Bourse have been firm during the last few days. The prices of , most of the stock raised ten po:nts cn reports of an engagement with the Insurgents near San Antonio de Los Bancs. The insurgents, for the purpose of preventing pursuit, set fire to the adjoining cane fields. The wind caused the fire to spread rapidly,, and according to advices received in official circles here, over two hundred of the insurgents were burned to death. Spanish officials claim that the situation of Maceo grows more critical daily. It is asserted that it will be impossible for him to leave the vicinity of th Sierra mountains. The wounds of the men and horses are not properly cared for at the close of the various engagements, and fcs a result many of tho men aro raid to suffer extreme p&ln. To add to this, the rainy' season must prove deadly to the insurgents, owing to the lack. of food and medicine. Three of the columns recently brought here from Spain; whlie'plTfsuing, near Me-' lena, several bands of Insurgents commanded by Coiiazo. Acea and Penalver, met with a decisive victory, the insurgents being routed. Colonel Hernadez commanded the Spanish forces. The squadrons of cavalry were commanded by oiTtcers Abuera and Castlllejo. Guerrilla Real was at the vanguard. The Spaniards charged the Insurgents, who retreated to Cienja. Forty-nine of the insurgents are said to have been killed and four who were badly wounded were left on the field of Conflict. Five of the troops are reported to -have been injured during the engagement.' , Bill for Cnban Dontls. NEW YORK, April 23.

Judge Helm, on motion of Colon-el Crawford, ordered the evidence in regard to Foertmeyer receiving a telephone message from Jackson stricken out. What Walling said to Foertmeyer was also stricken out. "Have you seen Jackson or Walling since then?" asked Colonel Crawford. "Yes, sir." "Where?" ' "Once in the Hamilton county Jail and once in the Newport Jail." "Did you ask to see them? "No, sir." "What did you go to the Newport Jail for?" "At the request of the sheriff." "What for?" "To accompany Mrs. Holmes, cne of the witnesses at Beilevue, who wanted to identify the prisoners." That's all." A young lady dressed in blue was brought Into the court room by Sheriff Plummer. She was Miss Kate Holmes, of Washington avenue, Beilevue. "I. have seen Scott Jackson, a dark young man and a young woman on Washington avenue, Beilevue, Ky." she said when examined by Colonel Lockhart. "I am positive that the dark young man was Walling. I am not so sure about Jackson. It was Thursday or Friday. They walked down to the river bank, and Walling talked awhile to John IL Foster, who lives at the foot of the street. Then he gave Foster a cigar. The other man and the girl were standing on the river bink. I zzxr them return. The girt vras walking with the lijht ycur.T tt.zti.

"Did you'notlee the lady with the men?" "Yes, pretty closely. She was a country girl." Miss Holmes then' described Pearl Bry an and the clothing she wore. She was then excused and John Fester called. The defense did net question Mis3 Holmes. Colonel Lockhart examined Mr. Foster. "Where do you liver "No. 54 Washington avenue, Beilevue." "Do you know Jackson?" "Yes sir " "Is That 4ilm?" pointing to Jackson. "Yes sir." "Where did you see Mm?" "In front of my house at the foot of Washington avenue Thursday morning at H o'clock, Jan. 30." "Who was with him?" "A woman and a dark man." "Describe the woman." "She was a "blonde, fair complexion, and wore a black hat, with black feathers and red In It." "Did you notice anything particular about the woman?" "No; excepting that she was rather slovenly dressed ani appeared countrified." ' Witness was turned over to the defense, who did not want to examine him. He was then excused and court adjourned until 2 o'clock.

TUB AFTERNOON SESSION. Judge Helm Continues Walling s Case for Another Week. When court convened this afternoon Jud;e Helm announced the postponement of the Walling case from May 6 to May 12, as he thought the Jackson case would occupy a greater portion of next week, and possibly the week folio win,?. - - Joseph Kugel was called. Colonel Nelson examined him. t "Where do you liver "Ninth and Central avenue, Cincinnati." "Do you keep a saloon?" "Yes, sir." Do you know Jackson and Walling?" "Yes, sir." "Where did you first meet them?" "At my saloon." "Point out Jackson." Witness pointed out Jackson. . "How well do you know ScOtt Jackson and Alonzo Walling?" "Pretty well; they came to my saloon very often." ' "When was the last time you saw Jackson at your saloon?" The Monday before he got arrested." "That is?" J "The Monday after the finding of the body of a woman at Fort Thomas." "Did he come into your saloon then?" "Yes; he came in my saloon and took a glass of beer, and asked me to keep a satchel for him, and to put It away and not give it to any one." "Was it ever opened?" "No, sir." "How long did you keep the satchel?" "From Monday until Thursday, when I took the satchel to Chief Deitsch." "Why did you do that?" "I had read about the arrest of Jackson, and thought it best." "Do you know Fred Albion?" "Only slightly." "Did either Jackson or Walling come to your saloon and ask for the other?" "Yes. sir. One night Jackson left word with me to tell Wailing to meet him about 11 o'clock." "D:d Jackson come back at 11 o'clock that night?" "Yes, but Walling didn't come In." "When was "this?" "I don't remember the day, but it was during the week of the murder." Defense did not question the witness, and he was excused, after identifying the bloody valise as the one Jackson left at the saloon. Detective Herman J. Wltte next stood in the witness. box and was sworn. He said: "I got a coat and vest from a catch basin at Richmond and John streets. It was about Feb. 1." Wltte described the condition ef the coat as wet and slimy. There were blood stains, apparently, on the coat when It was taken out of the sewer, but the detective thought the stains had since faded. "Did you cxam.ne the coat when It was pulled out of the sewer?" "Yes sir " "Find anything?" "Yes, sir: in the side pocket I found some leaves that looked to me like just such a leaf as were on the bushes where the body was found." "What was on one of the leaves?" "A spot of blood." "Have you the leaf?" "No, It was lost at police headquarters." At the srgestion of a Juryman detective Witte drew on a piece of paper the shape of the leaf found in the coat pocket. The shape was that of a privet leaf. A Juryman asked the witness the date on the newspaper in which the coat was wrapped and Witte said it was the Sunday after the murder. Witness was then excused. MUDDY TROUSERS IDENTIFIED. Louis Renkert, lieutenant of the Cincinnati police, was then called and questioned by Colonel Nelson. He Identified the muddy pants in court as the ones he got from the dental college. "Where did you get them?" "From locker No. 122." "Whose locker was it?" "Well, I had got hold of the wrong key, and Walling said to me that's not Jackson's key, but his (Walling's) key would open the locker." "What did Jackson say then?".. "Nothing." "When you opened Walling's locker what did you do with them?" "Took them to Colonel Deltsch's office" "Did Jackson say then that the pants were his?" "Yes, he said they were his, but hain't seen them for some time, and had not worn them." "Was anything else said In connection with the charge against Jackson and Walling?" "I was present at the beginning of the examination in Col. Dettsc-h's . otflce the morning after the arrest at Jackson an! Walling." Objection by defense overruled to any question what Jackson or Walling said at that time. Lieutenant Ilenkert said that Jackson requested on the morning after his arrest to be taken before Colonel Deitsch to make a statement and that the witness conducted him to the superintendent's room, where Jackson made a statement. Colonel Deitsch taking down his statement in writing. "Did you hear what he (Jackson) said?" "Part of what he said." "When did Jackson tell Col. Deitsch he saw Pearl Iiryan last?" Defense objected and the objection was sustained by Judge Helm. Colonel Nelson argued on the question hotly, fluently and eloquently against the decision, claiming that simply because the witness had not heard all the lftatement he should not tell what he did hear. "I Jntend to prove by the witness" "I object to him stating what he intends to prove by the witness la the presence of the Jurv," interrupted Colonel Crawford. Then the Jury can retire," answered Colonel. Nelson. The Jury then retired, and Colonel Nelson said: "I Intended to prove by the witness that Scott Jackson stated that he had not seen Pearl Bryan since the Christmas holidays, which was a lie." Colonel Crawford objected to the witness hearing wtiat Colonel Nelson said he was going t3 prove, and Lieutenant Renkert left the room. Colonel Nelson then continued: "I tell you this, is one of the circumstances that tho jury must hear and consider, that this man Jackson told this untruth; said he hadn't seen Pearl Bryan since the Christmas holidays,. when tie did." The appeal was grandly made, but Judge Helm stood flrm ana wcuid not change his decision. He sustained the objection. The jury and witness then returned to the court room. Renkert then identified the bloody valise in court as the one shown to Jackson in Chief Deltsch's office. Defense here took the witness. "On the morning that you went down to Jackson's cell did you say that all was up with him. and that he hal better tell all he knew damn quick?" asked Colonel Crawrord. "No, sir; I didn't," answered the witness. Didn't you tell him (Jackson) when you were about to go to the chiefs office to tell everything to the old man?" . "No. sir." ' - - Witness was excused. Ex-Police Sergeant Aloysius Stenger. of Cincinnati, now a saloonKeeper, was then called by the prosecution. He was questioned "Do you know Scott Jackson?" "Yes sir." ' "Do you know Wallinj and Fred Albion T' "Only as a patron of the saloon." "Ever ee Jackson and-Walling together In your eaioonr" "Yes: ther always came together." ;"What did they usually do In your saloon?" "Get drinks ana est lunches tcjether." "Do you know of Ccott Jtcircn carrying a kn'.fe cf any fclzd?" "Yes; on s niTht fc- chowed r. a ec!;cl, crl t-!l tr.s Lrrr -r7.-i tt r-zT. to r7 -7 err::;.!

"It was similar to a paper knife with a blade about two and one-half inches Ions. The formation of the blade was slightly curved." "When did you see Jackson with that knife lastr "About three weeks before the murder at Fort Thomas." Witness was then excused, the defense again declined to question the witness. Colonel Crawford then moved that all of Stenger's testimony be excluded, as it had nothing to do with the case, but Judge Helm overruled the motion. C. W. Skidirxre, of Cleves, O., an operator at the Grand Central Depot, wag then called and examined by Colonel Nelson. He said he saw a man and woman for two hours in the Central Union Station on Jan. 31. The woman was crying most cf the time. Skldircre was shown rarl Bryan's photograph, but cou'd not say that it was the wc-maxi with the man in the station. He then aid he was not sure Walling was the man with the woman. Witness was then excused, the defense not questioning him. PEARL WANTED TO GO HOME. . Watchman Pat Kinney, of the Grand Central Station, was the next witness called. He was examined by Colonel Nelson. "Where were you on the afternoon -of Jan. 31?" "I was on duty at the depot." "Have you ever seen Alonzo Walling?" "Yes, sir." "Where did you see him?" "I saw him in the lower waiting room of the depot on the afternoon of Friday, Jan. 31, 1S, about 2:13 o'clock. He was .sitting on the last seat with a young lady, a blonde. She was crying and held a white handkerchief in her. hand all the time, and she cried all the time for two hours. I knew the girl was in some kind of trouble. I announced several trains, but they did not go anywhere. About 4:10 o'clock "Walling got up, the girl following him. They left the- station, going out the Third-street entrance." "Did a train leave for Grecncastle while they were there?" "x'es, sir, a train left for Indianapolis at 3 o'clock." . "Was the girl crying all the time she was there?" "Yes, sir." "What attracted your attention to the couple?" "Well, I tell you, it was the girl's tears. I felt Forry for her. She seemed to be in so much trouble." "Are you sure the man with the girl was Walling?" "Yes, sir: I am sure. I saw him later at the jail. He is the same man." Kinney identified the photograph of Pearl Bryan as that of the girl in the station with Walling. The theory is that Pearl Bryan went to the depot that afternoon to take the train to Indianapolis and that Walling persuaded her not to go. They left the depot together. The recital of this evidence brought tears' to the eyes of Pearl Bryan's mother, who was sitting inside the bar, far removed from the sight of the Jury. This evidence was intended to supplement and fit into that given by Mr. Pinkard in the forenoon, in which he related about seeing Walling come out of tho Atlantic Garden with a blonde girl a little after noon on Jan. 31, stopping a while in College street, where Jackson stood in xront of the pair talking and gesticulating with great earnestness. Lieutenant Itenkert was called and Colonel Nelson asked him if he knew the alligator valise shown him, belonging to Pearl Bryan. "Yes, sir; I found that valise in a barber shop, Lawrence's barber shop, at Sixth and Elm streets, where Fred Aloion worked." "Where did you find he valise?" "Under the washtand, in front of Albion's chair." "How did you know it was there?' "Wallinf? told me It was there." Defense here objected to the witness telling what Willing said, and Judgo Helm sustained the objection. Colonel Nelson then male another impassioned appeal that Itenkert be allowed to tell what Walling said to him about the valise, and Judge Helm took another view of the question and decided to overrule the objection of Colonel Crawford. Colonel Cra-wfonl cut Colonel Nelson's fiery . argument off by demanding that the jury leave the room during the argument. The Jury was about to go out of the room when Colonel Nelson announced that he had finished, and amid much amusement the jury took their seats. Witness was then askel the troublesome question, and said: WALLING BETRAYED JACKSON. "Walling sal J Fred Albion told- hfcn where the valise was." Julge Helm had the answer stricken from the consideration of the Jury. Colonel Nelson then said ell he wanted to show was that the defendant had knowledge of some of the effect" of Pearl Bryan after her death, wheiiier that knowledge was guilty or Innocent knowledge. "Do you know whether Scott Jackson was present when Walling made that statement?" "He was not." "Where was Walling when he told you where the valise could be found?" ; "In his cell." : "Where did Walling say he got the Information that the valise was la the barberBtiop?"' ; Colonel Crawford cbjectei, the objection was sustained, and Colonel Nelson, after attempting to twist the question, and moetinj with sustained objectiens, started to argue the- question. Agaia the witness and Jury left the court room while the eloquent Colonel argued. After Colonel Nelson had finished Colonel Crawford pleaded his side of the question. The witness and the Jury then came back, and Julge Helm s:ill sustained Colonel Crawford's objection to the question. The witness was turned over to the defense, but was excused. ' - Detective William Bulmer was called and took the stand. Bulmer was the detective who arrested Jackson. Colonel Nelson examined the detective. "How long have you been a detective on the Cincinnati police forcer "Eight years." "Did you arrest Scott Jackson Feb. ZV "Yes, sir; at Court and Plum streets." "Where did you take him?" "To the Mayor's office." "Did you search the prisoner?" "Yea sir." "What did you find. on him? ' Three ladles' handkerchiefs and a bridge ticket" Colonel Nelson then handed Bulmer a package containing three handkerchiefs. What are those articles?" "Handkerchiefs; I found then in Jackson's pockets." "What did Jackzon say when you took the "lie eaid. Ya n'.rht cs T7rll let me keen tt. fc-r.i::trc:::r. I trill r.cci then.' but

The bridge tickets found on Jackson were then partially identified by detective Bulmer,. although he was net so sure that the ticket were the same he found on the prisoner. Bulmer was then excused and Mrs. LIzz! Smith was called. She said she lived on Waterworks street and CJrand avenue, in the vicinity of which Bearl Bryan hat was found. She said she saw It Saturday. Ft b. 1, on the road before Mrs. May Morgan picked It up. Mrs. Franken was called and said she al? saw Pearl Uryan's hat in the roaJ on th Saturday, Feb. 1.

GREENCASTLE, Ind., April S.-The testimony of Will' Wood In the Jackson trial, w;hich testimony first reached this city this morning in the Journal, caused a profound sensation in this city. It has all along bt-ea a great matter of Interest m Greenscastlei as how much Wood would testify against. Jackson, and it now seems that he has toll about all that Is expected of him. The fact 'that he has three attorneys In court, the last of whom. Colonel C. C. Matson. of this city, going there yesterday, show.i that ther Is at last some concern upon the part of the attorneys ani friends of young Wool that he may eAy or do something that will lead to unpleasant results after the trial is over. It is thought here hy persons who hav followed the evidence" closely that the prosecution has made out a remarkably strong case and one that will convict. Taey have, it is thought, proved beyond doubt that Jackson and Walling were with Pearl Ilryai on the Friday night which she was murdered and that the mud on Jackson's trousers it of the same as was found near the place the boJy was found in Newport: and now, with coachman Jackson's story that h drove the men and Pearl Bryan to Newport, It is believed that the case forms a, complete chain of evidence against the prisoners. Harry D. Hays will leave here tomorrow to testify. It rumored that Mrs. Dr. Post and Mrs. Jackton. sister and mother of Jackson, will attend the trial, bat it is not thought that the state of the latter's health will permit her going.
