Lewis Jackson, a brakeman on the B&O coke shifter, was instantly killed between 9 and 10 A.M. today by being run over by a car at the switch into Oliver coke works No.2.

When he reached a switch frog(?) he stepped between the guard rail and the main rail on the opposite side of the switch. His weight pushed the heel of his shoe, tightly between the two rails and it was held fast. Before he could do anything to save himself the car was on him, knocking him down and passing over his body lenghtwise, cutting and mangling him in horrible shape and killing him instantly. The car passed over him before the trainmen were able to do anything. His remains were brought to J. Harry Johnston's undertaking rooms, where they were prepared for burial.

Willson lodge, K of P, and Mechannics council No. 353, O.U.A.M. of Uniontown and the B&O relief department. He was also in the regular army, serving three years when young.

In this place, on Friday morning, June 20th ' 62, of disease of the heart, MARY A. JAQUETTE, in the 38th year of her age.
It needs not that we portray her excellence of heart and life, nor minutely record her virtues. They live in the hearts of all who knew her. — For many years she was a member of the M. E. Church, and in her life was shown the beauty, in her death the power of religion. During years of suffering, she never manifested an impatient word or look, nor even a desire to have it otherwise, only that she desired most of all to depart and be with Christ. She waited for the angel of death to release her from her sufferings in the body, and welcome his coming , and passed from the earth calmly and peacefully . The light of the home circle is darkened , but she is "forever with the Lord."

DEATHS
Jeffries— On the 28th of Sept. '64, at his residence in German tp., Fayette county, Pa., Mr. Wm. Jeffries, Sr., in the 63rd year of his age. Bro. Jeffries had been a ruling Elder in the Salem congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for a number of years. He had enjoyed almost uninterrupted health until within a few days of his death, when he was violently attacked with Typhoid Dysentery, and went down very fast; thus showing us the great uncertainty of human life, and that truly, whilst in the midst of life we are, in reality, in the midst of death. He was a man of humble piety, much devoted to the cause of Christ and the interests of the church of his choice. Hence the community, the Church and especially his family, have sustained in his death a heavy loss. He has left a very large family, to the charge and oversight of the companion of his youth--May they heed well his last and dying counsel and advice and may his deeply bereaved wife and relatives and consolation in his triumphant death, as well as from the never failing promise and hope of the gospel, and be encouraged to wait, in the faithful discharge of their Christian duties, until the master shall call them from the labors of this probationary state, to the enjoyment of the rewards of a life of faith and prayer.

Benjamin JENNINGS died in 1843.
JENNINGS
My esteemed and venerable kinsman, Benjamin JENNINGS, closed life's journey, in great peace, near Wilmington, Clinton county, Ohio, on the 1st inst. He was born in Fayette county, Pa., more than seventy years ago. His father, David JENNINGS, was one of the first settlers in the Redstone region, and one of the first fruits of Methodism in that country, under the ministry of BREEZE and COOPER. Benjamin was brought to the knowledge of salvation when quite young, and his course from your tho old age was such as becometh the Gospel. I have been acquainted with him as a member of the Church for more than half a century, and in all that length of time, I have known but few, very few persons, of whom I could more cheerfully and confidently say, "He was blameless and harmless—a child of God without rebuke." During his illness he was patient, tranquil, and resigned. The Clinton Republican, in noticing his death, says, that being asked what his prospects were in the world to come, his reply was, "God is love! The faith once delivered to the saints is sufficient, and enables me to rejoice in hope of meeting, in great mercy, my heavenly Father near his glorious throne."

COMMUNICATED
Died On the 17th inst. After a painful and distressing illness, which he bore
with true christian patience and submission, The Revd Jacob Jennings, late Pastor
of Dunlaps creek congregation, in the 69th year of his age.
After the necessary preparation, he commenced the practice of Physic, at an early
period of his life, and not long afterwards made an open profession of the religion
of Jesus Christ, whose doctrine it was his study. Even afterwards to adorn.
After having successfully practiced medicine for more than 20 years, believing
that he was called to preach the gospel, he was duly licensed & ordained
for that purpose, by the Presbyterian Church in the state of New Jersey, where
he then resided which was the place of his nativity. More than 20 years ago
he removed to this county where he resided until his death; after a life of unblemished
integrity, exemplary piety, and unwearied assiduity in watching for the souls
of those committed to his care, & in endeavoring to relieve the distresses
of all within his reach, he died beloved and respected by the people of that
congregation of which he had long been the Pastor, and by all to whom he was
known: leaving a wife & children and friends to mourn their heavy loss.
But it is their consolation that they have not to sorrow as those who have no
hope. It was in his latter moments supported by that religion which, had been
his comfort through life, and was enabled to bear a dying testimony in favor
of its truth and the faithfulness of it author. Without a struggle or a groan,
with a comfortable hope of redemption through the blood of the son of God, and
while engaged in the exercise of humble & earnest prayer he fell asleep in
Jesus.

The late David Johnson of German township was born in Rockingham County, Virginia, March 5, 1786, and came with his father, Peter Johnson, and the family into Fayette County when David Johnson, who was the eldest son, was quite young. They settled in German township. He was educated in the subscription schools of the times, worked on his father’s farm and learned the art of weaving, and remained at home till the time of his marriage to Mary Magdalena Bixler of German township, June 27, 1809, whereafter he took up his residence with his father-in-law for one year, and then purchased a farm, still in the hands of relatives of his, near Uniontown whereon he resided for six years, and selling the farm to his brother, Jacob Johnson, bought the “Yauders farm” near Masontown upon which he lived the rest of his days. He was the father of nine children, eight of whom were living at the time of his death, which occurred May 24, 1860. All the eight children, six boys and two girls, were also married at the time of the father’s death. Mrs. Johnson died some three years before her husband and both were buried in the private burying ground on the Newcomer farm, adjoining Mr. Johnson’s original farm and which he owned at the time of his death and which his daughter Frances Johnson, Mrs. John Young, now owns. Mr. Johnson and his wife were members of the Mennonite Church. Mr. Johnson was in early life a whig in politics, but became a Republican. He was not an ardent politician and never sought office. It is said of him that “if David Johnson was not an honest man then there are no honest men…” Mr. Johnson owned about sixteen hundred acres of land, the most of which is underlaid with the nine feet vein of bituminous coal and left to each of his children a farm of about two hundred acres of land, with house and outbuildings thereon, upon which severally the surviving children are still living in prosperous circumstances. Mr. Jacob Johnson, the son of David Johnson, and the next to the last born of his children, and who perhaps more especially than the rest supplies the place of his father in the world, left the old homestead farm whereon for a long number of years he had wrought, just prior to his father’s death, and moved upon “the Middle Run farm” in the same township, to which he has made many additions by purchase until his present landed estate covers about a thousand excellent acres. He married in 1852 Elizabeth Knotts, a native of Virginia. They have had five sons, and two daughters. Four sons and two daughters are now living and residing with their father and being industrious and faithful children are adding to the worth of the already valuable homestead farm. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are members of the Mennonite Church.

Wife of Jacob. In August, 1851, she gave her heart to God,

She whom we loved has passed away;
Hath flown to realms above.
The Friend she loved so much.
She was too good, too king, too pure,
To long remain on earth;
And now, alas! One vacant chair
Around our family hearth.
But just a few short weeks ago,
Around her bed we stood;
She, by her kind, soothing way,
Rays of light ever shed.
Though her we sadly miss on earth,
We know that all is well;
She’ll meet those who’ve before her gone,
Who now in glory dwell.
Grieve not, then, for departed ones,
Who heavenly anthems swell;
Oh, how her face with glory beamed,
As she bid all farewell.

LITTLE GIRL BURNED TO DEATH
Daughter of Benton Johnston Perishes in Old Porterfield
Property After Giving Alarm of Fire This Morning
The five-year-old daughter of Benton Johnston lost her life early this morning when the home of the late Simon Porterfield was burned to the ground near Jones’ Mills in Saltlick township. The little girl was the first to give the alarm of fire. Then she covered her head under the bed clothes and in the excitement following was not missed until it was too late. Her charred remains were later found in the ruins. The families of Harry Porterfield and Benton Johnston moved into the Porterfield property following the death of the owner about two months ago. Both men are employed on the ......... railroad extension. Their wives arose early as usual this morning and got their husbands’ breakfasts. Then the women went back to bed. About 6 o’clock the little daughter of Mrs. Johnston discovered the fire and her screams gave the alarm to the other members of the families. Both families had narrow escapes, in saving themselves. When all were safely out, the little girl’s absence was noted, but the big frame house was a roaring mass of fire. Dr. S. P. Brinker was called to attend both Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Porterfield who were painfully burned and suffered from shock. There was no insurance on the house. It is not known how the fire started.

UNION.....JANUARY 6.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE!
On Monday last, Mr. Hugh Cunningham, and Thomas Johnston, both of this county, and Mr. Strong, of Kentucky, were unfortunately drowned in the Youghiogeni river, near Connellsville. It appears that Mr. Cunningham was about to descend the river to Kentucky, with a cargo of Iron, and had received into his boat near three tons of iron at Col. Meason's Forge, and set out from thence accompanied by the above persons and two negro men, with an intention of landing his boat below the bridge, to receive the residue of his loading;-- that owing to some mismanagement of the boat, she was brought sideways against one of the fenders of the bridge, which caused the iron to roll to one side, and sprung a plank:--the water immediately poured into the boat: Upon seeing this, one of the negroes on board became alarmed and clung to one of the piers of the bridge, by which he saved himself. Mr. Cunningham, and the others on board, appeared to exert themselves to effect a landing, but the boat filling so fast with water, their exertions were unavailing;--she sunk about a quarter of mile below the bridge, near the middle of the river. The only person saved was the other negro man who swam ashore. The bodies of the deceased have not yet been found.

NEGROES’ BRUTAL MURDER
Shot A. J. Jones Down in His Own
Home Near Gans Station
ROBBERY WAS THEIR MOTIVE
Threatened Women in House With Death
if They Cried Out
NINE SUSPECTS WERE ARRESTED
But All of Them Have Since Been Discharged
Reward of $500 Offered
Alfred J. Jones, a well known Springhill township farmer was murdered in his home at Bunker Hill Saturday evening by three negro robbers. With him at the time was his widowed sister Mrs. Jane Harvey of Uniontown and Miss Sallie Dunlap of Uniontown an old friend of the family. Jones was called to the door of his home by the robbers and murderers and shot down almost before he had time to learn their errand. The three men then ransacked the house driving the women into the adjoining room and forbidding them to minister to Jones in his dying moments. Jones, with his sister and Miss Dunlap, were in the sitting room eating apples Saturday evening about 8:30. A knock came to the door and Jones answered it. Three negroes were standing outside. One of them asked him the way to the railroad. Not wishing to direct them over the road they came, Jones asked them which direction they had come. At that instant one of them must have pushed a revolver in his face for he jerked back and attempted to slam the door shut. One of the negroes jumped against it, reached his hand through and around the partly opened door and fired. The bullet entered Jones’ cheek, passed upward and lodged at the base of the brain. He fell backward over a chair and the negros burst into the room. They drove Mrs. Harvey and Miss Dunlap into the kitchen. Two of the men searched the down stairs while the third kept watch on the outside. When the men downstairs… large portion unreadable…. Jones was a brother of the late John Jones of Bullskin township, the father of District Attorney Jones, who died several months ago.

The condition of Freeland, who is at the Cottage State hospital, is said to be very serious, with little hope for his recovery. Dr. E. C. Sherrick located the bullet near the spinal column, near the neck. He said this afternoon that the prospect for Freeland’s recovery was not very good. The body of the dead negro was removed to the undertaking rooms of J. R. Fersugon. Curry Johnson of Harrisonburg and Thomas Richardson, address unknown, were arrested, but another negro escaped. The fracas started when the policemen boarded a flat car in which the negros were riding and ordered them to throw up his hands. Freeland said he thought that he saw a gun in the hands of one of the negroes, believed to be Jones, and when ordered to surrender the negro shot at Freeland, the missile entering Freeland’s neck at the chin and passing on down through the body. Freeland fired at the same time the negro did, his shot killing him. The other negroes turned and ran after seeing their companion shot. Officer J. V. Boyer gave chase, arresting Johnson in the yards, and Officers Ritchie and Thomas caught Richardson in Pittsburg street with blood dripping from his left hand where he got shot in the mixup. This morning the negroes were taken to the Baltimore & Ohio offices and questioned.
Freeland “Got”
Negro Who Slew
Him, Jury Finds
J. V. Boyer, Baltimore & Ohio policeman, was exonerated by a coroner’s jury from all blame in connection with the shooting of Charles Jones, negro, during a gun battle between railroad officers and several negroes recently following an inquest held yesterday afternoon in Uniontown by Coroner H. S. Baum. The jury found that Charles Jones had mortally wounded William L. Freeland, Baltimore & Ohio policeman, and that Freeland had fired the shot that caused Jones’ death. Boyer testified that Jones fired several shots at him and that he returned them, not knowing whether his or the shots fired by Freeland killed Jones. The shooting occurred early last Wednesday morning in the Baltimore & Ohio yards here. Jerry Solomon, Albert Sanders and John Richardson, the negroes arrested following the shooting and held as witnesses, were released by the jury but held by Captain R. C. Bledsoe on a charge of trespassing.

FATHER AND SON DUEL TO THE DEATH
Family Quarrel in Everson Last Night Ends in Fatal
Wounding of George W. Jones, a Miner
SON FIRED THE FATAL SHOT
Says He Was Protecting Himself from
His Father Who Attacked Him
With a Revolver in His Bed Room
Wounded Man Staggered From the
House and Died Alone Outside
Scottdale, Sept. 6— Geo. W. Jones, better known as Jerry Jones, was shot and killed at his Everson home last night by his son John. The young man claims that the shooting was done in self defense. The shooting occurred about 11 o’clock last night in the son’s bed room. No one else was in the room at the time but the two men. The old man had been quarreling with his wife earlier in the evening and John endeavored to quiet him. There was an exchange of words between the two men but no one regarded it seriously. The son went upstairs and went to bed. His father remained down stairs. It was stated that he had been drinking during the evening but was not intoxicated. The old man was very restless during the evening, went upstairs several times and came down each time. Finally he went up to his son’s room, the door of which was locked. The young man let him in and the old man immediately drew a revolver.
The son was evidently expecting trouble for he was prepared. Before his father could shoot he picked up a revolver that was laying on a stand nearby and fired one shot. The bullet went true, passing through Jones body close to the heart. Jones turned, walked down stairs and went out into the night. After walking down the path and out of the yard, he dropped dead about 100 feet from the home. Burgess M. A. Noon and several other officers appeared on the scene soon after the tragedy. A close surveillance is being kept over John Jones until after the Coroner’s inquest. The local authorities did not think it necessary to place him in confinement. He made no effort to escape.
Son Told Story
John Jones was seen by a reporter for The Courier this morning. He appears to be about 22 years of age and is of rather prepossessing appearance. He is employed as a catcher in the Old Meadow mill. His father was a coal miner. While he did not volunteer much information, he answered all questions readily and without hesitation. He stated what has already been told. The old man had been quarrelling with the family for several years past and had abused all of them at different times. Once John and his older brother William left home about a year ago on account of their father’s troublesome disposition but returned before very long on account of their mother. The old man raised quite a disturbance over them going. About this time he made an attempt to shoot John who took his revolver away from him. The boy kept the gun after that keeping it locked iup in his room. Jerry got another gun some time during the year and it was with this he attempted to shoot his son last night.
Was Like a Duel
John said that he was sitting on the edge of his bed last night partially dressed. He had his shirt and trousers on. When his father knocked, he got up and opened the door. The old man drew a revolver and the son then reached on a stand nearby and got the one there. Before the father could shoot, the son had fired. The Jones live on Maple street, Everson in a large two story frame house. A wife and six children all single survive the deceased miner. The children’s names are William, John, Joseph, Flora, James and Charles Jones was 32 years old. No arrangements have been made for the funeral as yet as nothing can be done until after an inquest has been held. Coroner A. S. Hagan has been notified and is making preparations to hold an inquest as soon as possible. Constable Milton Morris of Uniontown went to Everson this morning with others to arrest young Jones and investigate the case. Both District Attorney Thomas H. Hudson and County Detective Alex McBeth are busy with the September session of the Grand Jury. McBeth could not go to Everson on this account. Morris will make a charge of murder against Jones. The shooting has caused much excitement both in Everson and Scottdale. All the parties were well known in both towns and there is much interest in the case on all sides.
ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
Verdict of Coroner’s Jury in Everson
Shooting Affray
Scottdale, Sept. 7— An Inquest was held yesterday afternoon over the remains of George W. Jones, who was shot and killed by his son on Tuesday night. The inquest was held at the Jones residence in Everson, with Coroner A. S. Hagan in charge. The jury returned a verdict that Jones came to his death from a revolver shot fired by his son, John Jones, but that the shooting was done in self defense. Young Jones was arrested afternoon by Constable Milton Morris of Uniontown and was taken to the Uniontown jail to await trial. The body of the deceased man will be interred tomorrow.
JONES IS RELEASED ON BAIL
Without the formality of a habeas corpus hearing, John Jones, accused of killing his father Jerry Jones, at Everson, was released on $2,500 bail. The low amount of the bail and the waiver of a hearing indicates that the charge against him will not be found serious.

Jones and his mother Hazel Jones.

DEATHS
JONES— In Uniontown, on the 4th inst., JAMES ALVA, son of John and Eliza Jones, aged 4 months and 15 days.
At early dawn of twilight’s ray,
When the birds awoke to sing their lay,
An angel to our cot did fly,
And called our lovely boy away.
In vain friends round his little bed,
Nursed tenderly his form of clay;
In Vain were tears of sorrow shed –
The angel called our boy away.
At evening’s close, when I am done,
With daily toil and anxious care,
And bend my weary footsteps home,
I meet no little Jimmy there.
We miss him in his crib,
We miss him in our arms,
We miss him early – miss him late –
Hush! Hush! My soul, cease to complain,
And wipe those gushing tears away;
Our darling boy will rise again,
And hail us in eternal day.
In Jesus’ arms he sunk to rest,
He entered heaven in Jesus’ name,
In Jesus’ robes his soul is dressed,
Through Jesus’ blood we’ll meet again.

It was impossible to locate him last night by telephone or telegraph, as he had not registered at any hotel in Washington and it was necessary to await his return to Philadelphia. The eldest daughter, Eugenia, was married last Saturday morning to H. McCleland. Their honeymoon was rudely interrupted by two messages that her mother was ill, then in so short a time, that she was dead. Mr. and Mrs. Cleland were in Chautauqua, N.Y. and are hastening home. The youngest son, Alfred, Jr., was also away, visiting his Grandmother Jones at Scottdale. The three other children, Ethel, Harriet and Russell, were at their mother’s bedside and S.

March 1, 1865
WHEREAS, It has pleased the Almighty in the conduct of His Providence, to remove by the hand of death, our beloved and true- hearted brother, Jere B. Jones, who, bring fired by patriotism was among the first in our locality to enlist under the banner of our common Country, and rush forward to the field of sanguinary conflict, and if needs be, offer up his life on his country's altar. He attached himself to C. G. 8th Regt. Penna. Res. Corps. The bare allusion to h is corps is associated in our mind, with the seven days of terrible struggle in front of Richmond. Who that has read can doubt that the Penna. Reserves, (be it to their honor said, and let the historians' pen so put it down.) saved our young and noble army. The subject of our sketch fell at the battle of Mechanicsville, pierced with two balls, one of which entered his shoulder, and passing out at the breast, inflicting a wound considered by his comrades mortal, however, he being of a vigorous constitution, survived it, though honorably discharged from the service. As his wounds improved, he felt that his country still needed his services, and impelled by love to it, he once more tendered those services, enlisting in his old Company and Regiment. He fought well through the battles of the Wilderness, and once more up to Richmond. In the battle of Weldon Railroad, he was taken prisoner, was confined awhile at Richmond, from thence sent t o Saulsbury, N. C.--Suffering from diarrhea, without proper nourishment or medical aid, he gradually sunk, and on the 31st of October last, saying to his companions--'write to my mother, and tell her I died a true-hearted soldier,' he closed his eyes in death, Therefore
Resolved, that we deeply deplore the early death of our brother, who was a true Odd Fellow, as well a a brave soldier, Therefore
Resolved, That we express our deepest sympathy towards his widowed mother, his sisters and brothers, commending all to the care of Him, whose love is ever manifested toward his creatures, and His power exercised for their benefit, Therefore

DIED
In Bridgeport, on Thursday night, March 3d, 1853, of Inflammation of the Brain, OLEVIA P., daughter of Rob’t W. and Anna M. Jones, in the 5th year of her age. Death is always a sorrowful event, but in the present instance peculiarly so. Olevia was a lovely and extraordinary child. She was endowed with great equanimity and sweetness of disposition, - excessively fond of her parents, and never seemed to have great enjoyment than when obeying them. She gave evidence of superior intellectual powers, and had great fondness for intellectual employments. She would frequently create astonishment by the questions she would propose to those older than herself – questions evincing more than ordinary thoughtfulness and judgment. She would remember and repeat any interesting story or Bible incident she had heard, and was passionately fond of anything relating to the death of Christ or the condition of heathen children. She would deposit with her mother what money was given her, as she said, “to by good books and clothing for the little heathen children.” Even during her last illness, when her father gave her some money, she handed it to her mother, requesting her to keep it and give it to this blessed purpose. She said once to her father, during her sickness, that she desired to die to go to God. Her sufferings were extreme and protracted; but she will suffer no more. She is doubtless a bright angel in the presence of God. In this reflection what an alleviation of her parents’ grief! She will not return to them, but they will go to her. “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: blessed be the name of the Lord.” Com.

FATAL SHOOTING
AT COLONIAL 1
One negro was shot through the heart and a guard at Colonial No. 1, was shot in the hip as the result of a fatal windup of a “crap” game late yesterday afternoon at the mine. Purnell Jones, of West Virginia, was the victim of the shooting by John Haskins, during a game in which both were participants, when Haskins, claiming a crooked “throw” of the dice, pulled a high- powered automatic pistol from his pocket, and fired, hitting Jones in the chest over the heart. Haskins then grabbed the “pot” and ran out the door, where he was pursued by John Offensant. Turning on his pursuer, Haskins emptied the pistol, one bullet striking Offensant in the hip. State police were quickly on the scene and arrested Haskins and brought him to the county jail where he is being held on a charge of murder. Offensant was removed to the Uniontown hospital.

BROWNSVILLE MURDER
Colored Man Shoots Wife on Street,
Then Gives Himself Up.
Alfred Jones, aged 27, colored, on Wednesday evening at Brownsville, caught his wife, aged 25, on the street and while holding her in his grip, fired three bullets into her body, death resulting almost instantly. Jones then hurried down street, handed his revolver to one of the policemen, told the officer that he had killed his wife, and asked to be locked up. He is now confined in jail. Jones and his wife had been married only a year or two, and it is said have had frequent quarrels. They never went to housekeeping, but stayed around among friends. It is also said that Jones was jealous of his wife, and had been accusing her for some time of infidelity.
BROWNSVILLE MURDER CASE
If the extreme penalty is meted out to Kometz he will get 40 years in the penitentiary 20 years in each case but it is not thought that the court will deal with him so severely. This morning the second murder trial was taken up. It is that of Alfred F. Jones colored charged with the killing of his wife Rachel Jones at Brownsville on the evening of July 4, 1906. The couple was married two years ago but they did not live together. Mrs. Jones had been making her home with Mrs. William Davis a colored woman. On July 4 Jones went to the Davis home and asked for his wife. She went out to see him and he apparently in a good humor asked her to go home with him. She replied that she would go as soon as she could dress. Jones refused to wait upon her and he left. Later he met her on the street and shot her three times killing her instantly. Attorneys Crow and Shelby are conducting the defense and District Attorney Hudson the prosecution. Jones entered a plea of not guilty. All morning was taken up in endeavoring to secure a jury. Only one juryman had been secured on the panel at 11 o’clock.
LITTLE GIRL WAS
AN EYE WITNESS –
Eva Mitchell Saw Alfred
Jones Shoot His Wife
Down on Street.
CRIED TO HIM “OH DON”T”
Only part of a Quarrel She Heard
Was Jones Telling His Wife That
She Would Do as He Wanted Her
The principal witness for the State was Eva Mitchell, a 10 year old girl who witnessed the tragedy. The witness testified that she was standing across the street when Jones met his wife. She did not ever hear their conversation and did not pay much attention to them until she heard Jones first shot. She looked around in the direction of the couple and saw Mrs. Jones staggering. She cried out as she saw Jones point the revolver at his wife a second time. Oh don’t. This seemed to attract his attention to the moment then he fired two more shots in rapid succession. He appeared to catch his wife as she was falling and laid her on the pavement. Then he walked down street where he met an officer and give himself up. All that the little girl could remember about the conversation was that Jones said something about saying that his wife would do as he wanted her to do. Other witnesses give practically the same testimony. None of them knew the nature of the quarrel.
