"I have just talked with Jackson, and he puts all the blame upon you. He says you performed the abortion somewhere across the river."
"I don't know a thing about it, except what he told me."
"Well, now, did you do it or did Jackson? He says you did it."
"He's putting it all on me now, is he? Well, he's the one who is guilty. I know nothing of it."
"What did he tell you had become of the head?"
"I understand that he threw it in the Ohio River."
"Do you know where the operation was performed?"
"No, I don't. If I did, it would make it much easier for me to clear myself. As it is, I can prove where I was Friday night. It will all come out in a little while."
"Jackson says that you threw the head into the river, and that the next day you told him to get rid of anything lying around loose at the boarding house by throwing it into the river."
"I never saw the head, and he told me that he threw it into a sewer."
