Jackson did take the money. Cicotte too. Weaver was aware of it and sat around while it was discussed but did nothing. I feel sorry for him. The irony is that had Weaver not been banned, he would have been Harry Steinfeldt today: known by afficionados but not anyone else. In some ways being unjustly kicked out made him more famous than he would have been under his own playing record.
