SEVERAL OF HIS BANK ASSOCIATES
MAKE HIM SUNDAY
CALLS.
JACKSON Is11a LESS VISITED,
ENTIRELY rO HIM
SELF.
MINOR DETAILS ARE ESCAPING.
Incidents Leak i0ut to Show How the
Plot Was Made and Where
Weak.

Zschau and Jackson spent very
quiet day at the county jail yesterday.
Several of the clerks of the German
American bank called at the jail yes
terday morning and talked with their
former associate. Jackson had no call
ers during the day. The turnkey re-
ports that both men are evidently feel
ing all right as they eat the three
! meals furnished the boarders with evil
dent relish. The first day neither
Zschau nor Jackson touched food
furnished them. Nothing else, how
ever, was given them except the regu-
! lar jail fare. anG both the prisoners
| now eat ana eat heartily of the Jail
food. Zschau yesterday received quite
a large consignment of fruit from 1t
friend which helped out the bread
without butter and a can of tea, all
the jail prisoners get fer supper.
Assistant Comfy Attorney Zollman
is not inclined to put any stock Ill the
third party theory, Dut says if there
was third person connected with the
! two now in Jail it could be possibly
arranged so that ali three could be con-
Victed, either of larceny or completely
in the affair.
Neither Zschau nor Jackson had
anything to say Tor publication yester-
day. The preliminary examination of
! the twain is set for Tuesday In the
police court. Zschau will undoubtedly
waive eXamination and be held to
await the action Of, the grand jury.
In the case OF Jackson an examination
will probably be deInanded by his at
torney, # no other purpose than to
bring out tpe evidence against him.
ZSchau's work, it turns out, was
pretty coarse in places. While he
seems to have thought out all the de-
! tails Of the actual theft Of the money
with all the shreWdneSs of man who
had been reading detective novels. al
the same time he made tracks every
where that were bound to point his way
when the question of running down the
thief came.
One Of the details which has not
| been hitherto tbld was the fact that
he carried the money out of the bank
in paper bag. One Of the bags or6n-
afily used for carrying Won2en's hats
was used. He carried,iit in his pocket
for two or three days. lie had figured
| that, if he attempted TO put the bundle
OF money into one of the sacks used
for carrying silver, it would take
some time to get it in. On the other
! hand, with a big paper bag ell ne had
! to do was to blow, into it, That Woult
fill it out and the money would slip in
easily. So he used the bag. Besides
he figured that it would he an easy
way for his accemplice to get away
! with it without causing any suspicion
l.. Whoever received Sthe money; and
the bank officiaIsss claim to believe 1t
was given to Jaci.son, could have
walked out of the building and up the
street without anybody stsDectiRg that
a bunch OF stolen money was conceal
ed in the bag. ... 4~>->=~--- -.~.~4.-.
| While Zschau was thus care
full along this line he was busy scat
terlng around clues in another way. 1t
seems that during lunch hour, Satur-
day, ZSchau went to the Union bank
to get a check for $120 cashed. It was
drawn on the First National bank and
was signed BY jackson, and when
| Zschau, presented it to the paying teller
and asked to have 1t cashed, the pay-
ing teller told him sto indorse it and
| he wouldpay it.. Zsehau said he didn't
want to Go that, although he assured
the Union. bank teller that. the check
was albright. ~for1he knew that Jack
son had a deposit "a tsthe First National
| bank. The teller referred Zschau. to
the cashier. Mr.. Scheffer, and almost
the same conversation ensued. Bur
Zschau didn't lNaatszto indorse the
check and it iss; understood didn't in
| dorse it. AS soon as, the news of the
robbery reached the Union, bank peo-
pie, 1t is understood that the German
American bank people were advised of
the incident. 1t, in itself, was enough
TO direct attention to Zschau, if noth-
ing else had done So
