Yukon Jake Jackson, wrestler and eyewitness to the shooting, is shown testifying on February 27, 1940. "I heard glass fly and gravel kick up and I knew it was a bullet that just went by my kisser." Asked if he knew the deceased, he looked blank and said: "Deceased? No, I don't know nobody by that name."
