complice in the German American
bank robbery, George K. Jackson, spent
quiet day at the county jail yester-
day, using their best efforts to keep
cool and to appear as cheerful as their
respective positions would allow. Both
prisoners received a number of visit
ors. Jackson's callers were his father,
mother and sister, together with
number of business acquaintances,W with
whom he laughed and talked through
the gratings Of the jail corridor in the
most unconcerned manner The con-
versation for the most part was gen
eral, but whenever the bank robbery
was touched upon Jackson frequently
declared that he was utterly Ignorant
OF the whole affair. Zschau had been
brought down stairs, and now occupies
a cell in the boys corridor. He is look
ing quite we'll and appears cheerful.
The young man conversed pleasantly
with former associates in the bank
who called upon him, with Jackson's
father and with Charles Eisenmenger,
his cousin, but showed an evident dis
inclination to in any way discuss the
robbery. He is quiet, composed and
thoughtful, evidently having recovered
from the severe nervous strain under
which he at first labored, and is in
measure resigned to his position.
How are you getting along?" asked
a reporter for the G l o b e, as Zschau
received his meager supper Of bread
and milk last evening
Very nicely replied the young
man. ''Of course, it is not pleasant to
be situated as I am, but on the whole
L can't complain. I am treated we'll
and shown every courtesy by those in
charge of the Jail. 1 spend most Of my
time smoking. They let me have all
Of the tobacco want, and as my
friends keep me supplied with materi-
al, 1 get some comfort out of my ripe.
My mother and sister were here TO see
me yesterday. / enjoyed their visit,
but hardly exepect them today. as ii
is very warm. No, I really do not care
to talk about my case. The matter has
been gone into so often and so much
said that I would rather not talk about
it There is absolutely nothing new
so far as l am concerned. L have made
no further statement. There is really
nothing more TO be said"
Did you see the picture of the uni
versity law graduating CLASP" asked
Zschau, changing the subject and hand
ing the reporter. a cut of his class
mates. You see" he continued. there
is vacant frame down in the lower
corner: My picture. should have been
there; but, on account of this trouble,
there is nothing but a blank"
The young fellow slipped into train
OF meditation with the last remark,
glancing at the floor, where he idly
drew imaginary pictures with his foot.
We'll" he finally said, ''it can't be
helped now 1 suppose every. young
fellow makes mistake in the course
OF his life, and I've made mine in this
affair. Still L have hopes for the flu
ture: Others have slipped and regain
ed their footing on the pathway Of life.
and perhaps I shall do the same"
rs there anything new outsider"
asked Zschau, as the reporter rose to
take his leave
Being Informed that the theory of
third party in the bank robbery was
sui adhered to by many, and that it
was rumored a woman was implicated
in the matter, Zschau only smiled and
shook his head
Yes, l have heard that story of the
woman" he said, and simply allowed
his smile to broaden.
When the reporter called on Jack
son, the latter was conversing with
Charles Eisenmenger, Zschau's cousin.
his bondsman.
Yes" said Mr. Eisenmenger, s'T
have no doubt but that you will come
out all right"
Il know I will" replied Jackson. 'I
am ignorant Of the whole matter, and
when a man is innocent he is bound
to be indicated"
''Well, the matter was in the hands
of the county attorney when my uncle
signed the warrant for your arrest"
said Eisenmenger land he feels that
you will be able to Straighten that mat
ter out, too
'Ts there likelihood that Mr.. Eisen-
menger will withdraw the charge
against you?" asked the reporter Of
Jackson
Il don't know" replied the young
man. 81 have given him an opportu-
nifty to do so, but it looks as though
the matter had gone too far even if
Mr.. Eisenmenger desired to take such a
course
Asked later the significance of his
conversation with Jackson, Mr. Eisen-
menger said he knew nothing of his
uncleS intentions. He said his uncle
had signed the warrant against Jack
son because the county attorney had
told him it was necessary for him to
! do SO as mere formal proceeding, and
not because he knew anything Of the
supposed evidence against Jackson.
IsChau's bondsman, his uncle, Mr.
Eisenmenger said, did not think Jack
son wholly innocent. 1t was thought
he was in some way concerned in the
robbery, though how deeply he was not
prepared to say. AS to the talk of with
drawing the charge against jackson,
the speaker did not know what were his
uncle's intentions.
In general appearance, Jackson's i'm
prisonment has had little effect upon
him. He is the same. scrupulouSly neat
Individual he was thexnight he was ar
rested, and yesterday was attired in
a flashy plaid shirt, though minus col
lar and cuffs on account of the warm
weather. He ATTEMPTS to appear jo-
vial and at every opportunity asserts
his innocence and his intention to
make those who have placed him in
jail suffer when he establishes his
claims He says the authorities are

''I am q man Of theS world" said he,
