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.
The identification was complete, and permission having been obtained from the authorities, the headless body was prepared for interment and removed to the undertaking establishment of John P.

The inauguration-stone of the Macmahons still exists on the hill of Lech formerly called Mullach Leaght, or "hill of the stone" three miles south of Meaghan; but the impression of the foot was unfortunately effaced by the owner of the farm about the year 1809.
