Stuff You Missed in History Class
The Confessions and Contradictions: The Alonzo Walling Case
Alonzo Walling, a former glass factory worker turned dental student, confessed to police that he knew about Scott Jackson's plan to kill Pearl Brian and hide her body. Jackson had impregnated Pearl and wanted to get rid of her. Walling revealed that Jackson had considered both killing her and dismembering her, but ultimately decided to cut her into pieces and scatter them in different vaults around town. Walling described Jackson's use of a syringe containing a combination of arsenic and cocaine to kill Pearl. He also mentioned Jackson's unsettling behavior, including a late-night arrival with a suitcase and disturbing comments about Pearl. However, Jackson blamed another man, Billy Wood, for the murder and claimed that Wood had orchestrated the entire plan. Wood, on the other hand, admitted to knowing about Pearl's pregnancy and the abortion plan, stating that Walling's friend was supposed to perform the procedure.
