of Cimchuinn Geo. II. Jackson.
(Thursday's Testimony Continued.)
Monday afternoon Jackson says bo went to
his room to rest and to soo Walling: saw a
package on tits trunk, a woman's skirt, etc.,
and went to tho river and threw them In.
Whllo tho wltnoss was away Walling had
come In. Saw Walling Tuesday afternoon In
tho room. Ho told Jackson to tako tho
vallso and a bundlo to tho depot. Put
them under a scat on some train and
then get out, Took thorn, whllo Walling took
two other bundles: went to Richmond street,
saw a sewer opening and throw tho bundlo la
Jackson then -wont to tho Uncon depot with
tho valise, but could not get through tho gates,
becauso ho had no ticket: came back and left
it at Kugcl's; went home and went to bed.
Wednesday morning ho overslept himself;
most ot tho day was spent with Miss Cans,
and took hor homo to Cummlnsvlllo In tho
cvonlng. In passing Lawroncos barbor shop
saw Walling Ho came out. He asked:, "What
sort ot fellow Is this Wood, anyhow?"'! said 1
didn't know. Ho said: "You'd bettor write
a latter saying sho has gone away " I said I
didn't want to do that Ho told me: "You'd
better: they know you're horo and If thoy.Qnd
tho girl Is doad In this city thoy'll fasten sus
picion on you." 1 was pinlc-strlckeu and
compiled.
Jackson then doscrlbed his arrest: ''I was
taken to tho pollco station, and Into somo
room down there. A man whom I havo since
learned was CoL Dcttsch, followed us un
Mayor Caldwell camo out of anothor room.
Thero was a big crowd presont when I was
cross-examined. Somobody said I don't
whether It was Col Ueltach or not 'You havo
been arrested for the murdor of Pearl Uryan,
what do you havo to say!' I looked at tho
man who asked tho qucsttori and said: 'Not
guilty, sir."
Ho then related the scenes In the office of
Chief of Pollco Dcltsch, which did not very
materially diff or from that toitined to by pre
vious witnesses on that point. Tho bridge
tickets found on him wcro tho ones ho bought
In Octobor. Told ho found tho hindkcrcblef3
In a street car becauso ho was nervous and
excited; denied the story to tho chief noxt
morning.
Col. Kelson caused a surprise by refusing to
cross-cxamlnotho witness.
New ron-r, Ky May 1. Tho defense In tho
Jackson case Friday began an attack on the
export testimony offered by tho prosecution.
Drs. Clark, Jcancon and Davis tcstlllcd as to
tho possibility cf decapitation having taken
place after death. Tho testimony ot Dr. Hcyl,
of the United States army, read from a depo
sition, was to tho same effect. Testimony was
adduced to show that decapitation must have
been performed by somo ono who was skilled
In, or at least had, some knowledge of, sur
gery. An attempt was also mado to show that
thero was a scar on tho dead glrl'3 breast
mado by a hypodermic needle.
Reportor Allison's testimony throw somo
doubt on tho identification of Scott Jackson
at the jail by Coachman Georgo Jackson.
W, E. Abbott was tho first witness put on
tho stand. He is an cmbnlmer and funeral di
rector, and had been employed nt Tlppen
haucr's. He was oallcd to Vhlto's undertak
ing establishment ro embalm Pearl Bryan's
headless body. Ho Incised tho femoral artery,
rirst ho flushed tho arteries and thori
pulled out tho arteries ot the neck to
tie them. Flushing Is clearing tho artor
les of blood. Ho Hushed out nearly a quart,
This statement was n 'great surpriso, as tho
various phjslclnns who mado the autopsy
tcstlllcd that the blood vessels wore entirely
empty.
Ho said ho saw the cuts on tho fingers, but
be did not notlco any on the thumb, ns Sheriff
Plummcr testlfledr -The cut looked to him not
like a fresh, but like an old, cut which had not
yet hcnlcd. Thero was no blood In It.
Tho embalming took an hour. From his ex
perience as an cmbalmcr, ho said that after
death the blood. Ieatcs tho arteries and goes
to tho veins. That Is why thero Is a clean
channel to Inject tho embalming fluid Into tho
arterial sjstcm Somellnios the cmbalmcr lias
to open the Juglnr vein rnd flush the arteries.
He saw where a hypodermic Injection had
been made ust under tho left breast. He has
seen the scars left by hypodermic Injections
ofton. Ho could not bo mistaken. A hypo
dermlo syrlngo leases a Ultlo red and bluo
scar. Ho called Dr. Clark's attention to tho
scar.
Dr. J. A. Clark called: He saw the headless
body at Whlta's undertaking establishment In
Newport Saturday afternoon. Ho examined
the body. The embalming was ocrwhcnhe
got thero Ho saw a essel full' of bloody
water near by. It had probably been gathered
In cleaning up tho floor. He has had a good
deal of experience In seeing wounds. Tho
cuts on tho girl's fingers wcro clean. There
was no blood In them. Tho superficial vein
had been cut. Ho thought tho cuts wcro made
after death, becauso tho cut was clean. A cut
made In llfo fills with coagulated blood Ills
attention was called to a rcddlsh-purplo ring
about what looked llko a puncturo on tho loft
sido between the fifth and seventh ribs. Thero
was an inflammation.
That red line appears after a needle punc
turo In somo persons soonor and In other per
sons later. The puncturo seemed to him to
havo been mado during life. Tho red line
would not have appeared after death Tho
puncturo scorned to havo bcon mado by a
hypodcrmlo needle.
Undor questioning by Judgo Helm be said
bo had never mado a hypodermic Injection of
morphia. Ho. thought that tho scarcouldbavo
bcon mado by 4n Injection of crgotlne.
Dr. J. A. Jeahcon, a practitioner for 48 years,
noxt testified. , Coagulation of blood, tho wit
ness said, depends more on the nervous sys
tem and condition of tho patient nt the time
of death than on anything else. It is qulto
often tho case that blood flows from a dead
body, When a rorson dies suddenly from ap
oplexy, there may bo a great hemorrhage of
blood a day or (wo after death, tbe blood flow
ing as from a sponge Asphyxiation by car
bonlo acid gas tends to early coagulation; by
chloroform It tends to keep tbe blood In the
liquid state.
Tho primary effect of coealno, whether taken
into tho stomach or by a hypodermic injec
tion) is to affect the spinal column: tbe next
effect Is to produce spasms. It is llko strych
nine and other "spasmodic posocs. One
twelfth ot a grain of coealno may be a fatal
dose for some people. Others bave taken 13
or 15 grains by mistake for another medicine
and havo recovered. Asphyxiation some
times occurs. Cocaine and chloroform to
gether would kill. Muspular elasticity might
remain six to eight hours In a dead body, but
usually from ono and one-half to two hours.
While this contrtctlblltty remains a out made
on tbe body will assume the same appearance
as made In life. Tho skin has Its own vital
ity. In death one eet, of organs dies after an
other, Tbe voluntary muscles keep their
llfo somo time. .The heart may eontlnuo
to beat a considerable) time after death.
Tbe doctor said that, the contract!
blllty of the skin and muscles In a healthy
young person's body Is greater than In an older
or diseased body". J(e said that wrinkles are
tbe.reaultof diminution of elasticity in tbe
muscles, It Is impossible, he said, to tell
whether rvwitricttiicut Is made in 11eoraftfr
tlctmjarjtc ilia contractlbiiltyor tbe muscles
has ceased
To cut a head eft cleanly, to do a nlco Job,
would tako at least ten minutes, said tho wit
ness. A voluntary musclo would not lose Its
contractiblllty in less than one and one-half
hours. Rigor mortis Is a stiffening of tho mus
cles of a body. That 4s why" wo call a dead
body a "stiff."
Tho delay of rigor mortis, tho witness said,
has llttlo to do with coagulation ot blooa. The
:ondttlon of the nervous system largoly con
rols this, tho doctor repeated.
"Doctor," said Attorney Crawford, "If a pcr
lon wcro decapitated attor death by asphyxia
tion and tho trunk placed at on anglo ot 45 de
crees, hoad downward, would tho blood bo'
lralnod out!"
"Certainly," answered the doctor. "Now,
ho Hebrews havo a law about killing animals
.'or food. Thoy obligo the butcher to cut all,
iho largo veins ot tho neck. Then In order to
nako a complete depletion ot tho blood, tho
iaw provides that the animal shall be shaken
iftcr tho voluntary blood flow Is stopped
If a person In good health were decapitated
luring life, the blood would spurt eight or ten
tcet or more Tho blood would make a big
pouL If a live person beheaded had first
.altcn somo drug It would mako llttlo dlffcr
3nce. The doctor was not cross-oxamlncd.
Dr. J. A. Da Is testified that tho cuts on tho
hand of tho headless body of Pearl Dryan
seemed to bo old ones. Thero was consldcr
iblo retraction at the stump of the neck, tho
skin being retracted from onc-slxtcenth tc
one-quarter of an Inch.
Thero was a groat deal of redness about th
stump of tho neck. It was much redder than,
tho cuts on the band. I thought tho head had,
ocen very recently severed I remarlcod tha
the head had been cut off by somoono who
knew something about surgery.
The deposition of Dr. Ashton D Heyl, sta
tioned at Tt. Thomas, followed Dr. Davis' tes
timony. Tho statement was mado by Attor
ney Crawford thnt Dr. Hoyl is captain and as
sistant surgeon In tho United States army. Ho
is 31 years old. Ho graduated from tho
medical department ot the Unlvor
ilty of 'Pennsylvania In 1883. Ho
has been in tho United States
army since 1800. Ho visited Locke's farm at
tho scene ot tho finding of tho headless body
it about.tcn a. m. It was lying at nn angle of
about forty-fhc degreos Thoio were no evi
dences of a struggle. Ho saw n small pool ot
blood, apparently exuded from the cut onds of
the vessels Thoro wus a clot of blood on tho
clothing. Thero was another spot said to bo
blood by somo present. He did not recognize
it as such. Near tho body thero seemed to
him to be signs ot sliding down tho hill. Ho
also saw a gloc and a hat pin there. Thero
wcro blood stains and bloody finger marks on
tho corset Tho feet and hoslory' wcro not
soiled or discolored. The shoes and stockings
were not muddy except at the point on tho
ground. They wero unusually clean. Tho
doctor's opinion was that tho body had been
dead ten or twelve hours
He saw about a quart or a quart and one
half of blood at tho neck Ho was anxious to
seo how much blood was there As the ground
had thawed ho probed with a stick. At two
Inches ho reached tho bottom point to which
the blood had soaked. It the person had been
decapitated at or near the spot It
was not a copious hemorrhage.
Dlood Is about one-thirteenth of tho
Dody's weight. Tho headless body weighed
between 125 and 110 pounds. Thero would bo
about ten nounds of blood In tho body. Six or
eight pounds ot blodd would bo tho average
hemorrhage from such a wound.
Tho wound was not noticed by him to be
contracted. Tho hemorrhago was too old to
distinguish from tho blood clots whether thoy
wero venous or arterial
Ho did not notlco tho cuts on tho hand,
Thoro was no blood on tho hands. Ho was not
attentho to tho palms.
It a cut to tho bono was Inflicted on
tho hand of a llvo porson thero would
bo a considerable hemorrhage, unless the
person wero weak or anaemic. In a
healthy person a cut llko that would
mako a considerable hemorrhage. If a person
had received such cuts In resisting decapita
tion sho would havo had the ability to strug
glo for her life.
This operation was very skillfully done. Ho
thought that tho body had been decapitated
after death.
Tho defense next sought to break down the'
evidence of Qoorgo Jackson, tho coachman,
who tostlflcd to driving tho coupe which ho
said contalnod Jackson, Walling and Pearl
Bryan to Ft Thomas.
Henry Motz, a young farmer living four
miles from Newport on tho Licking' pike, took
tho stand.
"I remember," ho said, "when Sheriff Plum
mer, Mr. Rcnkcrt, some nowspapcr men and a
colored man named Jackson went over the
Three-mile road It was ono o'clock Sunday
morning when tho party reached tho Thrcc
mllo road. Sheriff Plummcr gavo mo $2 to show
them across. It took about an hour or more to
go across. Wo stopped several times; onco tho
cab went Into tbe creelt They wcro an hour
golog ovor tho Throe-mllo road alone, tho wit
ness said.
Still, Gcorgo Jackson Insists that ho started
to drlvo Jackson and Walling over that way to
Fort Thomas by way of that road at 1 : la a. ra
it is also In ovldcnco that Walling went to
Holder's hotel at about 3 a. m. In other
words, according to George Jackson's story,
the rockaway made tho round trip In less than
three hours.
David Locke testified to tho effect that tbcro
wero footprints In tho vicinity ot where tho
body wa3 found. Tbcro was only ono kind
that of shoes having a broad toe. From tho
fact that the prints were clean cut ho thought
thoy must Imno bcon mndo by new shoos or
shoes thathadbecnrcccntlysoled. ThoBhoes
of Scott Jackson were then handed to tho wit
ness. Ho said he did not think thoy made tho
tracks at Ft Thomas. Tho heel would not
mako tho shape ho saw, neither would the
too, Tho shoes werb not as long as tbe track
ho examined.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Of Cleveland, O., Celebrates Its Forty
Elghth Anniversary.
Cleveland, O., May 1. The Cleve
land chamber of commerce celebrated
its 48th anniversary at the llollendcn
Thursday night with a banquet. The
principal speakers wcro Secretary of
tho Navy Herbert and Mayor Strong,
of New York.
Mayor Strong's speech was on "Tho
business management of great cities,"
and in concluding stated that cities
should be "accorded Homo rule and
given tho greatest latitude in tho man
agement of their own affairs."
"Our Country, Its Achievements and
Its Perils," was the subject of Secretary
Herbert's address. "1 thank you," ho
said, "for the compliment you have
given to the beautiful navy of tho
United States. We havo littlo to fear
from foreign invasions. Our -perils
come from within. These dangers lay
within the very construction of our
constitution." Mr. Herbert then some
what surprised his auditors in tracing
back His promise, by an eulogistic com
mentary on the constitutional right of
tho southern states to secede. IIo
soothed the gathering, however, by de
claring that at Appomattox, "slavery
and secession went down together for
ever." Mr. Herbert, in touching on tho per
ils of the nation, denounced the free
coinage of silver at great length. In
fact his address was mostly devoted to
the financial question. He said ho con
sidered the free silverites as "precur
sors of socialism." There was disap
pointment that Mr. Herbert failed to
discuss .a lake navy. In an interview
with tho United Press correspondent,
however, lie declared that such a navy
was a necessity and that the Canadian
revenue cutters were dangerously for
midable. FLOODED.
