He answered none of
her entreaties, and left the town without seeing her except when by
chance he met her on the street.

When it became apparent that she could not much longer conceal her
shame, she told her parents she was going to Indianapolis to visit a
friend.

NEVER PARALLELED WERE THE SCENES ABOUT POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

The scenes enacted at police headquarters early in the day, following
the arrest of Jackson and Walling, were never paralleled in Cincinnati.

Hundreds of persons thronged the corridors in the immediate vicinity of
the offices of the department, while a vast crowd was assembled on the
outside of the building.

Upon the arrival of Supt. Deitsch he at once repaired to Mayor
Caldwell's office, where a star chamber session of some length was held.
In the meantime the crowd continued to increase, and it became necessary
to call for a detail of policemen to drive back the curious people. In
the Mayor's office were Detectives Crim and McDermott with the Mayor and

said: 'No, I have a sudden thought as something often tells me when I am
on the wrong idea. It would not do to leave her there, so I will instead
cut her to pieces and drop the pieces in different vaults around town.'"

A few days afterward Walling says that he and Jackson were in
Wallingford's saloon with a number of medical students, and there
Jackson made inquiries as to the poison that would kill the quickest. He
was told that hydrocyanic or prussic acid was the quickest, but that
cocaine was about the next and most deadly.

JACKSON PURCHASED COCAINE.

Shortly after that Jackson bought cocaine at Koelble's drug store, on
Sixth Street, between Plum and Elm.

"Do you know where he was going to take her?"

"Yes; he said he
