THE THIRD DAY
Of the Trial of Jackson for the
Ft. Thomas Murder.
Doctors Agree Pearl Was Alive When
Her Head Was Severed.
Also That tho Murder Was Committed on
tho Spot Where tho Ilody Was Discov
ered Damaging Testimony filed
Up Against tho Accused.
Newport, April S3. Wednesday attornoon
dentist Glllosplo, ot Groencastto, Ind , was
called. Tho examination (or the prosecution
was conducted by Attorney Hays, of Green
castle, who has been employed by tho family
to assist la prosecuting tho murdorcrs of Pearl
Bryan.
Dr. Glllcsplo identified, scleral let
ters written to him by Scott Jack
son. Uo testified to seeing Jackson with
Pearl Dryan frequently In Grccncnitle.
Ono day Jackson came to the witness und suld
bo was In aureat deal of trouble over Pearl
and wanted to know what to do. Witness told
him ho had better marry her; he laid ho could
nevpr do that. That was about fivo days be
foro Jaokson returned to Cincinnati during the
holidays.
JUDQK IIKLU.
Mayor Caldwell, ot Clnclnntl, was then called '
and narrated tho statements Jackson had
uiuuu lu uiiti uuur ilia urruab, uu u wuiuu una
been published.
During tho timo tho mayor was detailing
tho story of Scott 'Jackson's arrost and
tho prlvato interview which ho nnd Chief
Doltsch had with tho pilsoncr im
mediately after his arrost, tnero was not a
sound heard In tho courtroom save tho mayor's
voice, the ticking of tho big clock on tbo west
wall of tbo courtroom and tho occasional grat--lng
ot a knife blado and a reporter's dulled
pencil. Tho mayor spoko slowly and deliber
ately. Dr. J. O. Jonktns was tho nctt and last wit
ness called for tho day. Ho stated that lie was
a practicing physician nnd surgeon In Now
port, Ky., whero be bad lived for 15 years, and
that bo assisted the coronor nnd other phy
sicians in tho post-mortem examination on
tho body of tho woman found near Tort
Thomas, being present as a spectator and in
vestigator. Ho recited at length tho findings ot tho ex
amination, stating the condition of tho vari
ous parts of tho body. In all ot which ho cor
roborated the tacts brought out by tho testi
mony of Dr. Tlngley and Dr. Carothcrs
Newport, ICy., April S3. Court oponcd at
0:32 Thursday morning. After tho prisoner
was brought Into tho courtroom. Health Officer
J. O. Jenkins was cross examined by Attorney
Crawford.
Tho cuts on tho hand would not Indicate that
.the head was cut off during llfo not strictly,"
"the wltnoss said. Tho cuts on Pearl Bryan's
hands wero found slightly open, and the pros
ecution, through Dr. Carothers and Coroner
Tlngley, assert that this condition proved tho
girl was alive when her bead was severed. Tho
object of Craw fold's cross-examination was to
disprove this.
"Doos the skin contract after death, causing
wounds to open" he asked.
"Yes," was tho answer.
"What Is tho effect of rlgoi mortis?"
"The muscles aro rendered tenso by rigor
mortis." said Dr, Jenkins.
He said that rigor mortis had passed off In
the caso of Pearl Dryan's body beforo tho au
topsy.and If rigor mortis had passed away there
could bo a retraction of tho skin Thcro aro
some circumstances, 03 poison action, excos
slvo bodily beat or cold, watery condition ot
blood vessels. lack of oxygen, and
thero may bp other conditions, that
might cause suspension ot coagula
tion of blood in the tody after
death. Tbo drugs aro chlorine and carbonic
acid. It Is an undccldod jjuostlon If chloro
form would causo a suspcnslpn of coagulation.
Cblorofvm kills' by paralyzing the heart. It
suspends tbo contraction of tbo smaller arter
ies and tissues. Dr. Jenkins said there was
possibly two pounds of blood in tho body when
the autopsies were made. This showed that
about eight pounds or pints bad flowed out.
COL. NELSON',
On redirect examination Dr, Jenkins said
that In the autopsies no abnormal condition
of 'any part of the body was found. Np sign
of any disease that might retard the coagula
tion of the blood was found. An Incision In a
dead body may cause the wound to gape, but
not the skin, tho latter being the case In tho
wounds on Pearl Bryan's neok and band.
The doctor said that In tho autopsy no sign
ot any drug was found In the body that would
have a tendenoy to retnrd coagulation, but
chloroform evaporates very Quickly.
The prosecution said that Dr. F.W. Flshbaok
would be the last physician they would put on
the stand. He assisted In the autopsy on Pearl
Bryan's body. Tbo bead had evidently been
cutoff by a knife, passing from left to right.
It was a clean cut, but for evidence ot hacking
on tbo vertebrm. He snld the blood clot In tbo
pulmonary artery was four Inches from the
heart Tha other doctor said one loch. Oth
erwlsehe corroborated tbo testimony ot the
previous oxperts.
He said if the, head was out off bofore tbo
heart ceased to controot the blood would be
drained from tbo body completely. If cut oft
five minutes after death the blood would leavo
only by gravitation.
CoL Nolson asked the witnesj what tho
blood spattered on the privet bushes would in
dicate. Crawford objected to the broad man
ner In which the question was asked.
Judge Helm put the question.'' Dr. Flshback
said the spurting came from a live bpdy. Tbo
cross.-exnmlQOttpn then began.
or.- Msrrs.icircu'atrnmciea jenxins on ror
oral technical points regarding tho coagula
tion of bjood.
A bunch of white wild flowers Svero on Judgo
Helm's bench when ho opened court at 2
o'clock Thursday afternoon Tho Judge con
sulted a law book several mlnufcs and Com
monwealth attorney Loskbart stepped for
ward and talued with tho Judge. Neither At
torney Crawford nor bis client, Scott Jackson,
had entered
Wben CoL Crawford came ho also had a prl
vnto conversation with Judpo Holm.
Tho court said: "1 understand that tai
prosecution has decided not to present argu
ments." "Yes, sir."
Speaking to tho Jurors, the court said:
"Judgo Caldwell Wednesday said certain
things that Alonro Wulllng told In tho pros
enceot Scott Jackson. You aro to determine
by the ovldcnco that 111 be odored whethoi
Jackson by his conduct admitted on that oc
casion tho truth of Wallirc's charges. Thai
is nil."
The points Involved In this decision, as
shown by Minor t'aldvrcU'a testimony, arc
Walllng's nsci lions that Jaokson told hlrt
Poarl Dryan as In trouble, that ho wanted ta
poison her, and that to would cut her body to
pieces.
Edgar Schofleld was thoMlrst, witness called
by tho prosecution at trie Jlternooa session of
tho court. Ho testllled to Tjclng the agent by
whom, tho stomach of Pearl Dryan and Its
contents wero taken to Dr. W, 1. Crane, In

that he liad claimed that one grain of cocaine
