THE HEADLESS IBUft'K.
Pearl Bryan's Mutilated Body Viewed
by Her Parents.
Grkkncastlle, Ind., Feb. 10. The
headless body of Pearl Bryan was
brought here Saturday night and at once
deposited in a vault. When the news of
its arrival spread over the city, hundreds
of people went to the cemetery, and for
several hours Sunday there was a large
crowd around the door of the vault, gr:
ing at the casket through the iron grat
ings of the door.
In the forenoon Mr. and Mrs. Bryan,
father and mother of the murdered girl,
and her sisters and brothers, visited the
cemetery and entered the vault. Mrs.
Bryan was eo overcome by the sad spec
tacle of the headless trunk of her daugh
ter that she swooned in the vault and
the father was nearly overcome in a
similar manner.
While the relatives were in the 'vault
there was a meeting of the young and
middle-aged men of the city, some dis
tance away and it was said later that
some 25 or 30 of these pledged them
selves to each other to avenge the-girl's
death if the murderers were not hanged
by the law.
The organization thus formed is said
to be regarded simply as the nucleus of
a larger one which will take the law into
its own hands if Jackson and Walling
escape the extreme penalty in the Cin
cinnati courtB.

Advices from Honolulu say that unless
Secretary Olney apologizes for the
actions of Minister Willis, that official
may be given his passport soon. The
trouble grew out of an invitation issued
by the Hawaiian foreign office to the
diplomatic corps to participate in the

niversary of the overthrow of the mon
archy. Willis refused to take part in
the celebration on the ground that
President Cleveland did not approve the
manner in which .the monarchy was
overthrown.
