While Lewis Jarvis was boing conveyed from

upou told his version OF the tragedy. which fully

| That tho murder was Qromoditasod. but insisted
that It was first spoken Of by Ebert Jackson,
who told Jarvis wife that ho intended to kill
Jonas. Jackson and himself planned TINT n fire
was to be set in the brush to attract the old nan
away from the house, alld that they wore to lie in

kopt in concealmeut, Ar the old man passed
tie well on his return, Il blow waH struck with
tho club which knocked him down mud
stunned him. when Jackaon took his watch
aud Chain, ri1ed his pockots, aud attempted

the old man revived, and began to struggle yio-
lontly, but he was oyerpoMored aud pitched in
headlong, clutchlug wildly at tile rope aud tho
begged them piteouBly not to kill him, but they
flung down missiles upon hun. lIa th4n seized

ransackcd, md two tiu boxes With small roll
OF bills wore found.
Putting together tho different atorics told by
ths implicated persons, it Is juaged that the

did not exceed $50 Or SEQ. There were some
