"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.

"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.
