Barney Barnato arrived here last evening and had a. long tn terview with President Kroger, pleading eloquently for clemency for the reform prisoners. He urged that the heavy punishment which the prisoners had already undergone had vindicated the law. And If they -were kept la prison cny longer they might emerge with a bitter feeling, which would be likely to carry a deplorable race hatred for generations. With tho great est respect, Mr. Barnato appealed t6 the" President' a known generosity on behalf of the misguided men; and argued that he had a golden opportunity by pardoning them of doing untold good. This would be an admirable act, Mr. Barnato continued, in the evening of a distinguished life. There were over 200,000,000 sterling Involved directly by the fall In the value of chares . since the. reformers had been sentenced. He -'estimated that there were 20,000,000 of the capital of the world besides, which was deeply Interested. Once confidence was destroyed it would take a lifetime to redeem it. He was not pleading, ho said, from personal motives, because his nephew had been already liberated; but for the whole country, which was yearning for peace to enable it to develop its resources. President Kruger listened to Mr. Barnato with attention for an hour and a half, and he. seemed to be greatly impressed v.i:h what he had said, but he Indulged In some spirited repartee during the interview. He assured Mr. Barnato that he was still doing his utmost to obtain a further mitiastion of the sentences of the reformers and that he would pursue the course which he thought righteous uninfluenced by outside developments. He trusted to the future, he said, to Justify his action. The Executive Council are awaiting the return of Secretary of State Leyds and Vice President Joubert from Bloemfcntein, Orange Free State, whither they have gone to hear the discussion in the Free State Volksraad of plana for closer relations with the Transvaal. When they return a further discussion of tho sentences of the reformers will be continued. . The Bubonic Plague. TACOMA. Wash., May 29. The Northern Pacific; liner, Victoria, which arrived last night, brought news that the bubonic plague had reached the i3land of Fomosa.and that at Anping, May 10, there were nine deaths and twenty-nine new cases. The deaths at Anping number ten to fifteen a day. The disease is rapidly spreading and is doubtles now raging over the entire is-land. Japan is bartering, frcm typhoid fever. According to Yokohama advices of Alay 12 and 13, over 2,000 cafes of fever have occurred in Agawa prefecture. The Japan Private Sanitary Association has arranged to dispatch a doctor to Agawa at the request of the Home Minister. Cable Notes. The Prince of Wales will pay e. visit to Mr. William Waldorf Astor to-day. Eva Booth, daughter of General Booth, of tho Salvation Army, sailed from Liverpool for Canada to-day. It Is rumored that Portugal has offered to mediate between Great Britain and Brazil in, the dispute over the Island of Trinidad. Deaths from cholera at Alexandria on Wednesday and Thursday numbered twenty; at Cairo, flfty-thrce; elsewhere in Egypt, sixty-five. El Tiempo, of Madrid, declares that if General Weyler p4rsists In tendering his resignation General Primoribeva will replace hlm. Tho London Daily News says that, on account of the Fenian scare, experienced detectives are watching the arrivals from America at Liverpool and elsewhere. South Africa n securities were depresred on the London Stook Exchange yesrterday owing to rumors of tho resignation of Mr. John Hays Hammond, and other ofUcials of the Gold Fields Company. It is stated that tf:e Marquis De Mores has started for -the Soudan in order to consult with the Arab leaders, anl the Paris Gaulcl?, commenting upon his departure, tavs that England has to reckon with the obstacles that Do Mores meant to place In her way.

To-night, forty-eight hours after the tornado of Wednesday tore Its way through the city, there exists about as much uncertainty as to the actual number of people killed and tho amount of property damaged as on the first morning of the disaster. Scores of dead have been Identified, but no one is willing to venture a guess as to how many bodies may be In the ruins of the hundreds of buildings as yet unexplored. The total number of dead In 6t. Louia, identified up to to-night. Is 162, and In East St. Louis 127. In St. Louis there are 22 bodies still unidentified and In East St. Louis two. It is believed that the deaths of the injured and the future recovery of.bodIes will bring the St. Loul3 list well up to 200. In East St. Louis the city officials declared this evening that they have hope that the death roll on that side of the river will not exceed 150. but the ruins on which tho rescuers have not yet begun to work may swell the total far beyond that figure. Tho estimates on property loss have grown apart. Guesses wero made to-day all the way from $2,000,000 to $30,000,000 for St. Louis, and from $500,000 to JC0.000.C00 for East St. Louis. The most popular estimate is In the neighborhood of $25,000,000 for both cities, including railroad buildings damaged. The building contractors of the city have been overwhelmed with orders for rebuilding, and 'the work of wiping out the havoc of tho storm will po pushed with all energy. The committee In charge announced -tonight that the auditorium to be used for the Republican national convention has been repaired and now shows not the slightest effect of the storm. Corrected reports from various sources along the river front materially reduce the estimates of tho loss by drowning. How many roustabouts went down will probably never bo known, as they are generally of a class In wnose welfare there is little Interest, most of them being negro nomads, who move from one port to another. The steamer J. J. O'Dell. the Illinois river packet which went to pieces at the Pitts burg dyke after a tumultuous- trip from the foot of Cherry street, dragged down five unfortunates to a watery death. The victims were; Morris Fisher, o, well-known merchant of Hardin, 111.; Mrs. Goodner, of the same place; Sim Woods, chief olerk of the boat, and the second cook and chambermaid, whose names are unknown. The revised list of total and partial losses In the levee cilice of the harbor department included the following steamers: Dol phin No. 2, Llbbie Conger, J. J. O'Dell, City of Quincy, Henry Sackman, George A. Madlll. Four Wiggins ferries, tug boats Baton Rouge, Belle and S. C.

PATH OF THE TORNADO. Where Ilnvoc Wai Greatest in the Residence Part of the City. .ST. LOUIS, 'Mo., May 29. Although thou sands of men have been at work night and day clearing away the wreckage in the path of the tornado, they have scarcely made a perceptible. Impression toward restoring the chaotic confusion to anything ' like order. 'passageways har'het rnade through some of the principal thoroughfares, it Is true, but for the most part the streets are 'still choked with the battered remains of homes and fac tories, hospitals and churches. The path ot the storm Is fully a mile and a half wide. It starts away out In the suburbs of the city, where beautiful homes of people of wealth are located. Taking a zlgzas course, it extends down through where the densely populated tenement houses are located, fully six miles, and crosses the river. At the extreme limits of ' the city to the west is a quarter known as Tower Grove Park. It i3 populated by people of wealth. and the houses are palatial, with beautiful grounds and surroundings. To the southeast of 'this is another region of wealth. The storm mowed Its way through them both. Magnificent residences in both places were cleared off the earth In some cases, while in 'ethers roofs were "carried away, trees torn from their roots and all the picturesque beauty destroyed. Along California avenue and.Compton Heights are strewn wrecked homes, roofs of house's, trees and masses of rubbish, whirled into the city from the farms and wild timber beyond the city limits. The same Is true of Uic other thoroughfares. Not a tree cr a house in the way of the storm was left without damage. From the corner of St. Vincent and California avenues away to the northwest as far as tre ?ye can reach is a stretch of devastation and ruin. The Christian Church, at this corner, is an almost unrecognisable pile of ' brick, mortar and timbers. A little to the south stands the Missouri Pacific Railway Hospital. A greater portion of the roof was torn off and the whole building was so -badly wrenched that the superin tendent, Dr. P. F. Vasterling, says it will take at least $13,000 to repair the damage. There are nearly one hundred patients In the hofpltai, and they were thrown into a state of panic. The Hogaen school, still south of the hospital, is wrecked to the eecona floor, while a row of resiuences across the street were not harmed. The Chouteau school, half a mKe north, was so badly damaged that it will probably have to be re built, while nearly every dwelling interven ing was unrocfed or demolished. At Califor nia and Russell avenues the houses at the northeast corner are in ruins, while those on the opposite corner were scarce.! damaged. But for blocks In every direction-were ruined buildings. Looking from this point toward the business center of the city as far as the eye couia reach are wrecks of homes. The course of the storm was down a val ley, where, before the city was laid out. a stream had run. Chouteau avenue l!es p:iraKel to th'..s valley, and is the mala thor-ouc-.ifare Jpaaing to the heart of fct. Loui3. For a mile to the south and nearly half a mile north of Chouteau avenue was the path of the storm. I.cr.efellow boulevard. a wlnaintr street, lined with handsome homes, was left with scarcely a building unharmed. At Missouri and Russell ave nues was the Souih-slde race track. It was almost swept clean of the buildings that stood upon it before the storm. North from here is an immense pile of brick and ma chinery and street cars. It. is w.iat remains of what was Sculllns'3 electric street-rail way nower house. It Is estimated that S3u0,. COO will scarcely cover the damage done here. East frcm this ruins for- half a mile there is scarcely a oullding left standing. Lafayette Park, one of the most attractive public pleasure grounds In the city, has not a single tree left standing. It resembles a thlckat of underbrush, with the trunks of great trees, twisted and torn, scattered throughout. The Lafayette Park Methodist Church, facing the park, is in ruins, as is nearly overv beautiful house in that vicinity. At Lafavette and Missouri avenues Is a mass of debris which was formerly the Lafayette-avenue Baptist Church. North of Lafayette Park are the ruins of Schneider's beer garden. Nearly every house on the east side of this street for a mile or more is blown down or badly injured. Brown's tobacco factory, a six-story struc ture ct Eighteenth street and Chouteau ave nue, was almost wholly demolished, and to the north of it is what remains of Evans Brcs.' tobacco warehouse. A snort distance ea3t of the warehouse is the wreckage left from tho exploded gasliourc. A short distance south of Chouteau avenus, on Seven teenth street, is the Fulton Grammar School, or tre ruin of It. From here can no seen tne remains of the CItv "on,trtl. Tnls structure, according to Adclph Berriner. the superintendent, haa heen lUniaffa tn the extent of over. tiOO.000. The stables of the hospital have teen razed .to the ground, while the building Itself is so badly wrecked as to be.almost uninhabitable. The patients have fot the most part been removed to the Good fihepherd's Hospital. De vastation and ruin is seen on every elds

from the hospital.- Scarcely a house In the radius of half a mile escaped the ravages of the storm. At Thirteenth street and Soulard Is the ruin of St. Paul de Vincent Church, erected In 1S4I. The parochial -school, adjoining the church, is also seriously damaged. The huge tower of the Saxon Lutheran Church, at Eighth street and Lafayette avenue, was blown off, as was also the towers and roof of SS. Peter and Paul's Church, on Soulard

street. The Soulard market, covering neariy an entire block, from beventn to lgntn street and from Carroll to Julian street, Is demolished. The cupola and dome of St. Martin's Evangelical Church are gone, and Soulard street, at the corner of Fourth, I completely blockaded with what a few days ago were the homes of thousands of work Ing people. It was about this point that the storm turned its way to the ncrJh. It swept nearly everything before it for two or three miles from the river to Fourtn street Among the -Important structures to fall were the roof and part or the wans or the saxony nour mill, the Southern white lead works. Plant's oil mill and elevator, the St. Louis Foundry and Machine Company a plant, all of which were more or less senously damaged. The number of families left homeless by the devastation along the path of the storm will reach up Into the thou55jands. In many instances these unfortunates have lost all their worldly possessions. Many will for days be dependent on charity and tht'lr more fortunate neighbors tor saeiter. AT EAST ST. LOUIS. Militia Patrolllns the Streets Rail ways ItemovlnR the Debris, EAST ST. LOUIS, May 29. Two companies of the Illinois State militia, from Greenville and Belleville, in all about 100 men, patrolled the levee district of East St. Louis all day. Dead lines were established and no one was allowed to pass without a permit. "I wired Governor Ahgeld, yesterday, to take this action," said Mayor Bader, to-day. "It was dene In order to protect the exposed property, for our force was insuffloient to properly guard it. In a case of this kind, the criminal element come In very quickly for the purpose of pillage, and they frequently resort to Incendiarism, and, although we have not been troubled much as yet, it was done as a measure of precaution and to prevent a beginning of thievery. I telegraphed to Chief of Police Harrigan in St. Louis to prevent, as much as possible, the influx of thugs. This he has done and has sent a number of detectives and officers to help us out. He has also stationed men on the other side, and uale?3 a man appears all right he Is refused permission to cross. There Is nothing, however. In the report that martial law has ben declared" Tho effect of these stringent measures was soon seen to-day in the greatly decreased number of people in the devastated district. Over sixty suspects have already been arrested and were sent out of town or locked up. Several pickpockets and confidence men have also been arresced. In addition to the militia and police force. Chief of Police Ganey 6wore la nf:y deputies, who were placed in aiuerent part? of the city. The property loss is hard to estimate, but two to three millions are conservative ng ures. Late figures rather tr.d to reduce the number killed, and the probabilities are that it will not run much over 150. The bodies of Mike Kilday and Will Farrell were recov ered from the ruins of the Vaadalia general offices last night, and this morning an un identified body of a middle-aeed man was found by workmen while removing the debris from tho location of the old Tremont House. One more corpse, that of George Lucky, was found about noon. One feature of the storm, end one of the after effects which were somewhat feared. was the larce number of horses kilLed. On every side could be seen the mangled bodies of these animals. The police department wa busy all day removing carcasses, and none too soon rcr the warm weather or the part two days had already started decomposl tion. The railroad yards are gradually belns cleared cf debris, rendering the moving of trains once more possible. thougU-it will bo weeks before anything like order cart be restored. At least icur hundred freight cars were overturned, andeither whollyorpartlally demolished, and as many of these were loaded with merchandise, the work, of clear ing the tracks will necessarily be slow. . A ladies' relief corns nas Deen organ ized, of which Miss Louisa Gross, of Eart St. Louis, is president, and Mrs. Ira Sweet, of East St. Louis, vice president. Committees have been aDDOinted from all churches of the city, and are actively at work soliciting aid and are meeting with gocd success. The new library buildins: has been v the general relief headquarters. The tickets will be distributed to the needy ones- for food, clothing and shelter. Mayor Bader estimates that at least 500 families are left entirely destitute, and will need immediate assistance. Maay have not sufficient clothing. H. D. Sexton, vice president or the Workir.grnen's Bir.k, and principal owner of the East St. Louis street-railway, was one cf the fortunate ones who ercaped Injury. His story Is worth repeating: "I was standing outside of ray, ofllce, said Mr. Sexton, "watchlnsr the storm. There were appar ently two currents of air. A strong wind was bio wine almost directly! from the north. while frcm the direction of St. Louis I could pee the black clouds coming towards us. As the north wind struck the clouds, they lifted momentarily and then down they came again. The wind, however, ceased and it began to rain. Then the wind came from the souh. All of a sudden one of the big windows flew out, and just as it did I saw the roof or a building across the street blown eff and come toward us. 'Run for your liver!' I shouted to those inside and then I ran and got under a desk and remained there for wtiat appeared a half hour, but was really not mare than five minutes. Soon, by the aid of the lightning, I saw that the ctreetcar pole In front of the office had stopped tne nying roor. lr it had not been for that every one of us would probably have been killed. A? it was I escaped with a few scratches." NOT IX NEED OF AID. Citizens of St. Louis Will Care for Their Own Destitute. ST, LOUIS, May 29. The local papers to day tell of the sympathy offered by the whole country to St. Louis, in hs present 6tate of woe. Offers have come to Mayor Walbrldge from commercial organizations all over the United States, and from the Mayors of cities large and rmall to extend financial aid as the situation demands. Chicago was the first to extend offers of assistance, the city being represented by the Union League Club, Commercial Club and (Mayor Swift. It Is- not likely that Mayor Walbrldge will accept these kindly offers, for while the losses are stupendous, local cHlzens have already established a large-sized fund for the sufferer?. Charles W. Knapp, editor of the Republic, to-day sent the following dispatch to Chi cago: "St. Louis does not need assistance. East St. Louis Is appealing for aid. The proportien of destruction to population there Is something awful." Albert Lawpon. manazlnx editor of the Post Dispatch. al?o sent a telegram to Chicago, saying: "St. Louis is profoundly thankful for sympathy and Draferred aid. but is amply able to take care of her sufferers. East St. Louis, however, iff worse hurt than we are. and help is badly needed there." ine Business Men's League issued the foJcwlng announcement to-nleht with refer ence to offers of aid from cities throughout the United States: "The league indorses the action of Mayor Wa'.br.dge in declining outside aid. It feels grateful for the many evidences of generosity in these help offerln?s, but, having made careful investigation of the storm-stricken district which, though extensive, is almost entirely confined to the section of the city outside of the principal business area, it is its deliberate Judgment that the city will be amply able to fully provide for all the needs of the afflicted. It further announces that not a single hotel in the city has been affected nor the whole sale, manufacturing district materially in jured, ine sngnt injury to the special building erected for the Republican convention nas already Deen repaired and the building is now ready for occupancy." The destruction, misery and want here has touched the hearts of the people In all parts of tho country, and as a result ever since the storm'Tof Wednesday offers of help and contributions have been pouring in. Up to a late hour to-day Stf.lflO was the total amount of donations received. A feitfof the appended messages show that the purses, as well as the sympathy cf the people of the United States rre at the disposal of the helpless unfortunates of St. Louis. But fit. Louis 13 a proud city. She 13 always ready to give, but never bejjs, unless It should become necessary by aiject want. The people of St. Louis who escaped the ravages of tb tornado will see that their brethren do iot suffer for the necessities of life or for any needed assistance. The Mayor of the Mound City, well knowing her civic pride, has uniformly returned thanks to the senders of all the telegrams, ai:d answered that St. Louia can care for her own. and while the kind offers x;t financial assistance

are appreciated, no outside aid will nwxW. rrwn far off London Sir Henry

Irving. Olga Nethersole and Wilson Barrett have cr.beied money, sympathy and oilers of benefit performances if needed. Others are as generous, ana no aouoi inousanos ui do Jars could be raised in a iew aays iz ji were necessary. f.nt tn-nifht th following card In answer to the hundreds of telegrams of inquiry was sent cut by Mayor WalbrJdge: "It is not practical to maite maiviauat answer to the vast number of friends who have telegraphed sympathy and offers or assistance. Through the medium of the As sociated Press I sincerely than the citrs many friends for the Interest they nave shown and their proffers of aid. The people of our city are confident cf their ability to prsperly care for all the sufferers from the recent tornndo. and heroic efforts are being made to that end. No accurate estimate of the loss of property can now be made, but It is safe to say that the loss as reported by the press outside of St. Louis has been greatly overestimated." Xo Request for Assistance. WASHINGTON, May 20. No applications have yet been received at the War Department from St. Louis or East St. Lcul3 for assistance, and, so far as known, there has been no occasion for the use of the boats of the engineering bureau, which were freely tendered yesterday If needed. The certified copy of the resolution passed and signed yesterday providing for the loan of tents by the quartermaster's department has not -yet reached the officials there, but there is no disposition to wait for formalities If word comes that there is Immediate need for shelter tents in the stricken district. Major Hanbur, in charge of the engineering works at St. Louis, to-day telegraphed the chief of the engineers that none of the government property In his charge had suffered from the storm. The commissioners of the; District of Columbia have sent to the Mayor of St. Louis a message of sympathy and an offer of substantial assistance. Money for the Snfferers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VALPARAISO, Ind., May 23.-Student3 of the Northern Indiana Normal this morning raised $100 for St. Louis sufferers. A committee was appointed to solicit another J100 and an effort will beamade to rai3e 00 among the citizens. ROTES ASD IXCIDEXTS. Partial Resumption of Street-Car Service in the Mound City. A partial resumption of the street-car service has been effected at St. Louis. The eastand-west roads north of Market street are in operation, and also the Broadway and the Grand-avenue of the north-and-south linest The southern division of the Scullln system Is the most badly crippled, owing to the destruction of the power house, and the officers venture no prediction as to when cars will be running. A partial restoration of the electric service la promised In forty-eight hours, but it will be a couple of weeks before all of the circuits are In order. The destruction of poles and wires along the path of the storm was complete. James Wilson, second engineer on the George A. Madill, of the Wiggins ferry fleet, who was reported missing, has turned up. Except for a broken arm he Is uninjured. He tells a wonderful tale of his escape and the destruction he witnessed during his wild ride down the river. The Madill was In midstream when the storm struck us." said Wilson. "We were crossing the river with fourteen freight cars aboard. The wind blew off the top of the boat while I was In the engine room. I ran out on the narrow gangway and got on the bumpers of the cars, neap the stern. When the steamplpe fell. I picked up a bucket plank and Jumped into the river and drifted with the debris down t'o where the Providence is stranded. Here I reached the shore. On the way down I saw the Belle of Calhoun, of the St. Louis and Clarksville Packet Company, go down in an eddy In the center of the river. There were fifteen or' twenty persons aboard the Calhoun, whom I saw jump Into the river. They alighted In the eddy and were whirled around and around. I do no; Know :t. any ft them escaped. . "I saw the Christy sink. ne carneu a crew of five men and had sixteen teams aboard. At least one man was with each team, and sometimes more, and so there must have been at least twenty-five persons on the boat when she sunk. I saw none escape. The last I saw of the Madill she was floating rapidly down the stream on her side, with the water pouring into a hole In her hull. All the crew managed to save themselves In a manner similar to myself. I did not -know I was injured till after I had landed." Of all the thrilling experiences on the St. Louis river front that of Miss Clara la given a distinguished position hi' the list. She was employed as a typewriter in the office of the Diamond Jo line, which has Its offices on the wharf beat. When the Pittsburg was swept out by the storm the wharf boat went with It, and likewise Mbs Clara, who had been looking out the window at the clouds which betokened the tornado. In an Instant there was a rush and roar, end the office, boat and all were oft at once. The wharf boat capsized when it reached Aieenal island, and Miss Clara escaped to a raft, receiving a" thorough drenching In the meantime. From the raft she? was assisted by Capta'n Poland, cf the Pittsburg, to that steamer, which had stranded In the willows. The young lady was returned to the city Thursday only to find tier home at Seventh and Gratiot In ruir.s. The memory of Wednesday's storm will never fade from her memory. There Is a probability that cne man whose horribly mangled body was taken to the St. Louis morgue was not killed by the storm. A man who was in the neighborhood of the Union Depot power house Just after the storm' asserts that some of the crowd there assaulted a ghoul caught thieving and beat him to death.. His story Is that while viewing the wreck he saw half a dozen men Jump on a man who had been loafing about in tho crowd. Some cne hit the man with a club, felling him to the ground. Then the crowd lumped on the man and kicked h'.m until he was unconscious. Some one cried "lynch the thief I" Then the crowd f lcked up his limp form and carried it to tussell avenue, where they yui It In a dirt wagen and carted It cff. The officials of the St. Louis Board of Education are busily figuring out th enormous loss which the schools suffered. Ail the South End schools between Choutfau avenue and. Arsenal street were badly damaged. Some had rofs blown away and walls caved in, and others got off with ruined windows and chimneys. The schools which suffered most are the Clinton branch. Peabody. Charles . Hodden. Pestalozzl, Grant, New Shepherd, L'Oeverture. Froebel, Lafayette, Longfellow and Madison. The School Board cannot repair the damage for less than 150,00, and perhaps a larger sum will be needed. Several of the schools 7lll net be opened again until Sept. L r General Manager Bryan, of the Terminal Association, said yeste:day In reference to the Eads bridge: "All the trains are now rvnning as usual over the bridge. The bridge, as a whole, we do not think Is In lured. After a survey of the ruins I would say otir actual loss of property, including buildings, rolling stock and the damage to the bridge will not exceed $100,000. Our loss of time and business will run the amount up to two or three times that amount." Thomas Griffin, an ex-policeman who was killed at his heme In St. Louis, was cne of the six hundred who survived the famous "rharee rf the licht brigade" at Palakiava durine the Crimean war. While cn tha police force he won the title of the "Oi Sleuth of Eait 8t. Louis." East St. Louis has Issued a touching ap peal for aid and the committee whi:h prepared tho manifesto estimates that two hundred persons were killed and that the num ber of injured will fort up m tne inousanas. Inquests on the bodies of many of the slain in St. Louis have been hc.d by Ccroner Walte. A verdict of "shock and injuries. accidental," was rendered in eacn case. Tho St. Nicholas Hstel In St. Louis Is Intact. Much apprehension was caused abroad that this hostelry had been demo. Ished by the storm. M.

NEWPORT, Ky., Slay , .-dudge Heln, Friday morning, amid an Impressive and awful silence, his strong features a plcturs of Judicial sternness, human pity anl compasjion. sentenced Scott Jackson to pay the penalty of his life for the cruel murder of Pearl Bryan. . Colonel Crawford's motion for a new trial was overruled, and there is now no hope for Jackson excepting from the bench of the Court of Appeals, at Lexington. The fact that Judge Helm wouU hand down his decision In the Jackson case thlj morning occasioned a large gathering In tho Newport court room. Among tie firs, to enter were Charles Walling and Clinton Walling, brothers of the prisoner on trial as Jackson's accomplice. Shortly belore the opening of court Colonel Nelson, Colonel Lockhart and County Attorney Ramsey. Washington filed in. Colonel Washington moment later euttft followed it r Oolonel Crawford a secor.5 later, who occup'.ed oat of the chairs In the Jury box. Judge Hem took his seat at 9:23 o'clock. There was come delay In beginning the proceedings, and Mr. and Mrs. Bryan entered during the interval. At 9:43 o'clock Sheriff, Plummer brought Jackson into court and Judge Helm an nounced that he was ready to dispose cf tho motion for a new trial in the case of the Commonwealth against Scott Jackson. The Judge then read the grounds on which Colonel Crawford asked for a new trial, discussing each In detail. Jackson, coo and collected, calmly sat In his chair and listened Intently to the decision. At first he leaned forward In order to hear, but ha. soon settled back in his chair as though attending a concert cr theater. Judge Helm . alluded to the admissions and letters of Jackson and commented on these facts at length. As to the fact that Jacksca hid not a fair trial, his Honor differed with tha attorney for the ?adant, mentioning the fact that there was no motion filed for a change of venue and that the 'jury in the case was secured In an unusually short timj. JACKSON FELT IT COMING. In regard to the trial not being A publla one Judge Helm held that the trial was undoubtedly public, as the ticket arrangement was. inaugurated for the sole purport of keeping objectionable persons out of tb court room who might offer some violence to the defendant. It was evident at this point that Jackson would not get a new trial, "Let the defendant stand up," commandti Judge Helm. Jackson, very pale, stood up and face,tt5 Judge. "Scott Jickson," began his Honor, ole:nly, you have been Indicted and found guUtjr of the murder of Pearl Bryan by u Jury ta which no objection was made by your ecuseel. Have you anything to say why senenca should not be passed upon you?' Jackron, his eyes resting appeallngly cn the Judge, stood as though struck dumb for fully a naif minute. Then la a voice choked with emotEn he sail filiermsly: "Your Hor.er, all I have to ny is, I am nos guilty. I tflsa my attorney would speak for me." Again there was an awful, fearful, painful ? silence. Scott Jackson etned alcne, all eyes riveted cn hi figure, ftan-llng eiect on1 cncticnles?. Colonel Crawford, mca affectel, walked over to the prisoner and whispered a few words tn hi? ear and returning to fcta former place near the Judge's bench, hs said: "i'our Honor, my client hai nothing furthr to say." . Judge Helm then formally sentenced tl"3 unfortunate prisoner at the btr. Judge Helna said: "It Is the Judgment of this court that yo'J be taken from here to the J4ll in this cit7 and there te confined until the 20th di'y of June, and then, by the sh riff of this co-aty, in the lnclosure of the Jail, hanged byi the neck until you are dead, anl may God have mercy cn your soul." Jackson dil not move a muscle. He stood there like a statue. His cheeks were as pala t as death, but there war not a quiver. njt a move. He was the came cool Scott Jackson arresied weeks ago. . Juige Helm relieved the awful tilencs by commanding the heri:T to lemove the prlaor.er, and a moment later Scctt Jackson ws.3 on his way to Jail. . Colonl Crawford, pending his appeal to ths Court of Appeal-, askl for a stay cf ext. cutlon. and Judge Helm, after some delay granted a stay of execution for ix:y days. This delays the execution until August 3J. A notable fact in connection with the sentence is that it was Riven cn Fr.'day, th tame fatal day of the week Pearl Bryan met her death at Fort Thomas. . JACKSON AND WALLING MEET. While Judge Helm was deciding Colcnrd Crawford's motion for a new trial Wallin was left In the hat room with Jailer Bltzer: After- sentence had ' been passed Jachron came out and passed through tie rccn where Jailer Bitzer and Walling were, Jacli son, who was very much depressed, approached his alleged partner In crime and said: "Well, Wally, they have , done thtlr worst " Walling asked, "What's that?" "Why," said Jack?on, ".hey have fixed June SO as tho dare of my execution." Walling blanched at tais ? tatcrr.r.t. look cf pain came over his face, anl Jacl 3on pas.ed on out. Just then Judge Helm called for Wallir.,7 to bo brought into court to be ready for hij trial t begin. When Wailing was toll r.was wanted he kank back In hlx chair ar.d almost fainted. He wan a moment or ra trying to recover himself, and when 1 1 could sreak he sail: "My Col. Mr. Jailer, don't take, ma !3 there now."
