s; to get rid of it. It was bloody."
"And you knew this?"
"Yes, he told me so."
"Then you know more about the crime than you have admitted?"
"No, I don't. I have told everything I know."
In a locker at the Ohio Dental College--Jackson's individual
locker--were found by the police a pair of trousers. Upon the knees were
dried mud and blood, and upon the legs were other blood stains. Jackson
and Walling each claim the trousers belong to the other.
JACKSON'S AND WALLING'S PICTURES TAKEN FOR THE ROGUES GALLERY.
Mayor Caldwell and Col. Deitsch Friday morning had a private
consultation at which it was decided to hold all examinations of the
prisoners in the Bertillion room, behind the iron bars of the Place of
Detention. No one but Col. Deitsch and the Mayor were allowed to be
present.
It was about 9 o'clock when both Jackson and Walling were brought into
the Bertillon room and turned over to Superintendent Kiffmeyer. Both

went down Plum Street with the purpose of throwing into the river the
evidences of the bloody and brutal crime in the muddy depths of the
Ohio. Jackson says Walling afterwards told him he had disposed of them.

"Well, there were three bundles. I threw them in a sewer on Richmond
Street."
"Where on Richmond Street?"
"I don't know exactly, but west of Central avenue."
"Was the head in the lot?"
"I don't know where the head is now."
"Why don't you tell where the head is and it will save you a good deal
of trouble."
"Well, Walling told me that he threw it overboard."
"What do you mean by throwing it overboard?"
"Why, in the river, and that is the truth."
As soon as the Chief could be seen Turnkey Underwood reported to him the
talks he had with the p
