The Governor issued reward for Jones'
arrest, and rumors of his being seen in
Alexandra, Petersburg and
Charlottesville have been current at sundry
times. 1t appears that the alleged culprit
had been really to the latter place in hopes
of meeting his wife, and Richmond de-
tective learning the fact went up Saturday.
and this morning by an adroit practice oi
his professional acumen contrived to be
present, whittier Jones repaired to see his
better-half.
A telegraphic dispatch received here to.
day states that Jones was taken in custody
and will be brought to Richmond for iden-
tiflcation as an escaped penitentiary con-
yict, and that three rewards are penlipg
for his arrest, These facts. if true. would
seem to point unmistakably to the con-
clusion that Mr.. Jones had been an active
man in his day and generation.
