"Then Miss Bryan left on the same train that your father came home on?"
"Yes, sir."
"Were you over in Cincinnati before?"
"No, sir."
"When did you see Jackson last?"
"When he was at home. It was on a Sunday. I think about the 5th or 6th
of January."
"Where you with him very long?"
"Yes, nearly all day."
"Where did Jackson go when he left Greencastle?"
"He came to Cincinnati on an evening train."
"Do you know Walling?"
"No, sir."
"Never saw him?"
"Never in my life."
"Ever see a picture of him?"
"Yes, I saw a tin-type of him when Jackson was at home."
"Would you recognize that picture if you were to see it?"
"I think I would."
At this juncture of the examination Chief Deitsch went to get a picture
of Walling but failed to find it.
Wood was taken down to Central Station and registered.
He gave his name as William Wood, aged 20, residence South Bend, Ind.
After registering he went to the Grand Hotel with his father.
Excitement was running high by this time. The crowds in and around the
City Hall, where the prisoners were, steadily increased, and the gravest

cell-rooms below where the prisoners were confined, and every movement
was guarded with the most jealous care.

SALOON.
There were all kinds of rumors floating about the City Hall when John
Kugel, the saloon-keeper at Ninth Street and Central avenue, walked into
Clerk Vickers office and told him that he thought he had a valise
belonging to Jackson.
"Then get it quick," said Vickers.
Kugel hurried over and in a few minutes returned with a brown leather
hand-satchel about 15 inches long. It was taken to Chief Deitsch, who
made an examination. There was nothing in it, but the sides were heavily
stained with blood. Chief Deitsch closed the valise and asked Kugel who
gave it to him. Kugel said that last Monday night about 8 o'clock a
young man with a blonde mustache walked in his place and asked him to
take care of the valise, saying he would call for it the next day.
After Kugel's arrival at headquarters Jackson was ordered brought
up-stairs and a dramatic scene followed. Jackson was seated facing Chief
Deitsch with the valise at the Chief's feet. Standing around were many
persons at work on
