He used to be connected with the school at Greencastle. Saw him last about January 6." Chief Deitsch here read the dispatch under which the arrest was made. "What have you to say to that?" "The charge is entirely false. I don't know anything about that."
Jackson, the prisoner, sat in the center of a long sofa on the east side of the room. On the side of him was Chief Deitsch. The latter conducted the examination, while the Mayor sat in his chair, smoked a cigar and listened. "Is this Mayor Caldwell?" asked Jackson. "It is," responded His Honor. "The officers say you want to see me." "Yes, I want to talk with you." "What is your name?"
Mayor Caldwell Chief Deitsch and Sheriff Plummer went to Epply's morgue, where the remains lay. In a short time Detectives Crim and McDermott arrived with the prisoners. Crim had Walling in charge and McDermott Jackson. The latter was placed at the head of the coffin and Walling near the foot. Both faced the brother and sister of the murdered girl, who were on the other side of the casket.
Arrest if in Cincinnati, William Wood, friend of Jackson. Charge as accomplice. About 20 years, 5 feet 11 inches, light blonde hair, smooth face, rather slender, weighs 165 pounds. We go from here to South Bend after Wood as he left here for that place. Immediately on receipt of the telegram Colonel Deitsch detailed Detectives Witte, Bulmer and Jackson to look after Jackson.
They knew that Jackson was in Cincinnati so they decided to wire Chief of Police Deitsch and have Jackson arrested and to go in person to South Bend, Ind., for which place Wood had left on the Thursday previous, for the purpose of studying medicine with his uncle, and place Wood under arrest. They at once sent the following telegram: "GREENCASTLE, IND., FEBRUARY 5, 1896.
It was after nine o'clock, when almost the last ray of hope had died out of the officers breasts, that Chief of Police Deitsch received word that Jackson had just been seen at the Palace Hotel. The chief started out and ran into a man answering Jackson's description.
Johnson then repeated his statement regarding Albin's connection with the crime, after which Chief Deitsch said: "What have you got to say about the statement made by Johnson which implicates you with the murder?" "There is no truth in that. I think I wore a cap on Friday night, but I was not in Wallingford's saloon, as Johnson says. I went home with Walling about fifteen minutes after 9.
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.
During this conversation I noticed that Jackson acted somewhat peculiar, but I never dreamed what caused it at the time." Col. Deitsch and Mayor Caldwell had a long talk with Albin. He persisted in the statement that he knew nothing of the murder. Clew after clew was run down.
Detectives Crim and McDermott, of Cincinnati, were assigned to work actively on the case, and sent to the scene at once by Col. Philip Deitsch, Superintendent of Police of Cincinnati.
