Confessions Tied to Pearl Bryan Case Stir Kentucky Inquiry
The Enquirer and Commercial-Tribune publish confessions by Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling in the Pearl Bryan affair. Jackson claims William Wood urged the act and that Walling was hired to find someone to perform the procedure. They describe the midnight ride, removal of the head, and disposal of clothing and body parts near Bellevue and Cincinnati, with Wagner driving and Walling handling the cloak. Walling’s statement says Jackson sought help from Wood and that Wagner arranged the abortion and the fateful operation, detailing letters, visits, and the subsequent flight to Cincinnati. The doctor linked to the case, Dr. Wagner, is named, with connections to Nicholasville and the Bellevue vicinity, as the intrigue widens through late January 1896.
