TIE SOUTH OYSTER BAY MURDER.

Fresh disclosures are being made every day re-
garding the murder of Samuel J. Jones, at South
Oyster Bay, and each revelation proves more con-
clusiveiy that the brutal crime was for some time
premednated and deliberately planned. Lewis
Jarvis was on "Wednesday taken to South Oyster
Bay IN charge OF 0ficer Joseph wilkinson and De-
tectve Payne, the purpose being to ma the watch
and small trunk which he admitted had been taken
from Mr.. jones' house and buried.
Jarvis conducted the on1cers to small piece OF
brush only a short distance from his house. and In
a few moments uncarthed small wooden trunk.
Upon examination 1t was found that the lock had
been iorced In the trunk were found some old
copper COINS, small gold locket, the bunch
Jones' house, . large brass Key, ana
saturated in the water that it Will, probably, oe
lound impossible TO decipner the writing upon
them. Jarvis stated that the other box winch
silver and copper, and bundle OF papers; also
several teeth, each one OF which was carefully
with the papers ana teeth, Jarvis burned.
Upon going to the house Jarvis had brief con-
versattOn with MS vile, and she soon afterward
handed to the oficers small steel chain which
had been attached TO Mr.. jones' watch; also some
small silver coins, II VIII be remembered that
she swOre on Tuesday that she did not know
where the chain was, and that she had none Of
the money. She also told the oflcsrs that her
that she spent them some time ago with 9 pedler
This ended the search for the day.
Yesterday the other accused, Ebert Jackson,
was taken to RidGewood ~ the officers, and he
took them to small Gearing near his iatner's
house, where he pointed out the spot where he
buried portion OF the coins taken from the boxes
and after digging a short time the officers dlscov.
cred o small Quantity OF old pennies.
The visit OF the searching party to jarvis house
was apparently expected. as theie was quite a
large gathering OF colored people there from the
surrounding neghb0rh00d, and the proceedings
were watched with great deal OF interest. 1t
was thought that there might be an attempt to
Jarvis from the officers, put the latter were
well prepared for II.
