In Scott Jackson’s Defense.

There is a diminution in attendance at the Scott Jackson trial. Colonel Crawford began his argument for the defense, and will probably occupy the day if his .voice does not fail. The line of his defense so far has been to create sympathy for Jackson by dwelling upon the torturing inquisitorial treatment given him by the Cincinnati police. He also has tried to show that Will Wood, not Jackson, was responsible for Pearl Bryan’s condition.
