"Hasn't Walling been arrested yet?"
"Why should he be arrested?" was asked.
Jackson refused to answer this question, and his actions showed that he did not care to talk further about his roommate. When Lieutenant Corbin heard of Jackson's actions he at once went to 222 West Ninth Street and arrested Walling, when he was subjected to a rigid examination by the officer.
"Were you in Wallingford's saloon with Jackson and a girl last Friday night?" was asked.
"Yes, I was," replied Walling.
"Who was the girl whom you were with?" was asked.
"I don't know who she was," he replied.
"Well you had better tell all you know about this matter," said the officer. "Now tell me who all were in the party at Wallingford's last Friday night."
"I don't know anything more about it," said Walling.
"Well, you may consider yourself under arrest, then," said Lieutenant Corbin.
