statement of one who appeared to have
thought the matter out and arrived at
what he considered the only possible
conclusion.

him closely, lest he should carry out
his rash design. Hereafter nothing
in the way Of presents or food will be
allowed to reach Zschau until it has
been thoroughly examined, and, as
precauion, he will be confined to the
regular Jail bill of fare. To his guards
and those with whom he comes IN
contact at the Jail, Zschau continually
and positively asserts the entire inno-
cence of Jackson Something of his
original stOlidity is assumed by
Zschau in speaking of his alleged con-
federate, and he declares that he will
remain firm in the declaration of Jack
sons innocence.
In regard to the identification OF
Jackson as the person who made the
deposit at the First National bank.
ZSchau declares that the bank officials
are positively mistaken, and asserts
that the accomplice to whom he de-
livered the stolen money and who made
the deposit, does not in any manner

light upon the injustice that he claims

tion in this detail by stating the facts
as he alleges them to be.
GuStaVe Zenzius, the receiving teller
who worked in the same cage with
Zschau, called on the prisoner at the
Jail last evening and was cordially re-
ceiVed by his former assistant. The
two shook hands and conVerSed to-

which time Zschau frequently declared
his satisfaction that his confession
had at least removed every trace of
suspicion from the man who had been
his friend for nearly ten years. Zschau
told ZenZiuS that it was the thought

ZenZius was acquainted with Zschau' s
ambition to graduate from the univer-
sity- law school, and many times
worked over time himself to allow his
assistant opportunities for meals and
study, and is of the belief that 1t was
Zschau'S gratitude. which partially
moved him to remove the cloud which

destruction and seemed relieved in
the thought that there was at least one
way out of the trouble. Mr.. Zenzius
II led to encourage his former business
cOmpanioin, but Zschau seemed to de-
rive little consola ton from his mag
naIlimous attitude toward him. and
bade him goodnight with a hopeless
statement that perhaps all would work
out right in the end.
