The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-06-04

ter following the theory of Zschau's
guilt and the Pinkerton operatives
have never lost sightsof him since Mon-
day. They have believed he was con-
nected with the missing $13,600 but
could not seem to prove his connection
with the case. But for the confession
Of Zschau, Jackson might have been
allowed his liberty for some time, al
though they say it would have been but
a question Of time when he would have
been directly connected with the theft
in some way.
He is regarded as q shrewd fellow
and those who have been working on
the case and are familiar with it's de-
tails, think he is perhaps more to blame
than Zschau. Just how strongly Zschau
connected jackson with the crime is
not known, and will probably not be
known until he is placed on trial.
There is something peculiar about the
case which has not yet been made pub
lie for some reason or other, and that
is the payment Of some of the stolen
money into the First National bank.
Zschau said that part of the money
had been either deposited there or de-
posted there to meet a check but on
this point everybody who was seen was
mute. If the balance Of the stolen
money was deposited there, then the
check must have been nearly $4,000.
But whose check it was and where it
came from are things which nobody
was willing to discuss. One report
said it was Jackson's own check but
nothing authoritative was given about
it. On the other hand the common report
around the city was that $1,000 of the
money had been deposited there.
The return of part Of the stolen money
caused more Of a sensation in the
bank, If possible, than did the discov
cry of the theft. Every man had been
keyed up for five days over the mys-
terry and each man felt that, until
something more convincing than the
mere arrest of Charlie Zschau had
been made to explain the robbery, he
himself might be regarded as knowing
something about it. Besides nobody
could hardly bring himself 10 believe
that Zgchau had been connected with
it, They thought it must have oc-
Cured some other way. But how?
That was the end of the reasoning.
When, however, Mr.. Jockey walked
into the bank on his return from the
county attorneys office, and laying Il
bundle down on the desk remarked,
WELL we've found it," it relieved the
suspense. The clerks stood in amaze
ment with the expection Of Zenzius.
He had been more closely connected
cept Zschau. When Zenzius heard it
he fell over in faint and was un-
conscious for several minutes. But
load had been lifted off his mind, al
though not shadow Of suspicion had
raised itself against him at any time
in the minds of the banks officers.
SUPT. WEBER's STORY.
c. M Weber, local superintendent Of
the PinkertOn agency, seen last night,
spoke freely about the developments
which yesterday brought in the bank
robbery, and held the view that the
confession of Zschau showed that the
coup had been pulled off quite as
the detectives had figured and reported
to the bank officials Saturday. Speak
ing about the matter, Mr.. Weber said:
1--WE have today recovered $1,000 Of
the stolen money and we have every
reason to believe that the remaining
$500 will soon be returned to the
bank. George K. Jackson, who for
some months has been living at the
Zschau house since his separation from
his wife, whom we found had gone
East. has been arrested and indications
seem to point to the fact that he was
the instigator of the plan to mulct the
bank. The exact manner in which the
trick was turned was made known to
us this afternoon by Zschau. We had
spent some time with him yesterday
afternoon, but apparently to little
avail. He met our statements of what
we knew of the matter with replies
which showed that he had carefully
studied the legal phases Of such
contingency. He met our statements
as to what he had done. with such re-
