In TIE CASE of Charles Jones, indict.
ed in White Pine County for the murder
of Thomas Mathews on the End Of July
last, it has been found impossible to get
q jury. D. R. Ashley and R. D. Fergu-
son are of counsel for the Defendant.
The Empire of the 18th thus describes
the prisoner:
Jones is q young man not to exceed
% years of age, of medium hight, dark
complexion, and rather boyish appear
ance. His physical development seems
to be good, and in stature he is ss
straight as an Indian. We would take
him to be possessed of fair native sense,
but evidently lacking cultivation. He
does not appear to realize his situation,
and though without friends or money,
he seems to be imbued with an air of
cheerfulness, bordering even on boldness,
which is clearly unassumed. He is said
to have been q vaquero in California for
many years, and is now one Of the best
horsemen on the Pacific coast. As to
the defense his counsel will set up we
are, Of course, not advised, but may
seem to think that as be Was q stranger
in this city at the time of the commiss
ion of the offense for which be is being
tried, it will be difficult to identify him
% the perpetrator of the crime. The
trial of the case will be resumed to-day,
however, when We expect to gather fur

into the shaft, causing the whim, with
its long beam, to revolve very rapidly.
