BEING CLOSELY WATCHED LEST
HE SHOULD TRY TO HARM
HIMSELF.
WAS THERE ANOTHER IN IT.?
CONTINUES TO DECLARE JACK
SON INNOCENT.
THE LATTER TO PROVE AN ALIBI.
Receives Encouraging News From
His Relatives, Who Believe Him
to Be Innocent.

Though the tension has been reliev-
ed by the arrest Of Zschau (Which, by
the way, is pronounced like either syl-
liable In chowchow) and his alleged con-
federate in the sensational bank rob-
berry Of last Saturday interest in the
case is still unabated by reason of the
belief Of many that there is still an
other accomplice at large. This theory
is made tenable both by the state
ments of Zschu as to the innocence of
Jackson, and is held by those who be-
neVe Jackson to have been a confed-
crate and that there were three per-
sons implicated in the robbery. AS
Suming the innocence of Jackson, as
claimed by Zschau, there must have
been some one in the bank corridor to
receive the stolen money, and likewise
accepting the theory of the Pinkerton
detectives, the bank officials and the
county attorney as to Jackson's guilt,
there is still room for the operations
of a third party, particularly in the
face of the alibi which the young trav-
cling man claims to be able to estab-
lish
To strengthen the general opinion of
some other confederate the Pinkerton
detectives have from the first worked
upon the theory that there were prob
ably three people connected with the
robbery, and it is understood that they
are still prosecuting their investiga-
tionS along this line, though publicly
maintaining the assertion that the gull
ty parties are under arrest That some
third person was suspected at the be-
ginning of the sensational case is un-
doubted, and it is almost certain that
the detectives are still at work with
their efforts pointing to the same per-
son as was originally under suspicion.
Supt. Weber states that he takes
little or no stock in the alibi which
Jackson claims to be able to establish
in proof of his innocence, and asserts
that in his opinion both Jackson and
Zschau can be convicted of the crime.
He does not believe that Jackson can
substantiate his claims to an alibi,
basing his opinion upon the latter's de-
NAL of having deposited the S. 700 in
the First National bank. and the subse-
Quent positive Identification of him by
the officials of that institution as the
man who did so. Jackson's other tran
saotions in having given Zschau blank
checks, which he had signed, on the
First National bank, is likewise regard
ed by Supt Weber as evidence of his
+ guilt In the opinion of Supt. Web
er Jackson's entire story of his do
! ings on the day of the robbery is a
| fabrication unworthy of the slightest
credence and a very faulty defense to
7 place before jury. sS5tses

claims, the evidence certainly shows
