In his testimony before the Cook County Grand Jury on September 28, 1920, Jackson testified that he received the $ 5000 after game 4. He also tetified he was promised $ 20,000. He also testified that in return for $ 20,000 he would participate. He also testified that he was upset that the initial payment was only $ 5,000

The transcript is in the public domain ( I have a copy) and pretty much gave Landis all he needed

You mean the testimony where he didn't have his own attorney and signed a document that was put before him? Look at the 1924 Milwaukee trial, when he had his own attorney.
