SAN BUENAvENTURA, Aug. 13.-
Quite tempest in a teapot oc-
Cured in this town last night, Civ.
ing rise to considerable excitement
and some fun. Ever since the con.
clusion Of the Lord trial, Jones, the
States evidence, from whom the
guard who escorted him around
for the past four weeks had been
removed, has been observed to put
himself in the way of the attorneys
for the defense as though anxious
to open communication with them.
He was, however, closely watched,
and the Mores had paid his fare to
Santa Barbara, intending to take
him over there and give him en-
ployment pending the remaining
trials. Last night, however, about
six o'clock, after preliminary inter-
views with the attorneys, 1t was
discovered that he was in
the room of Mr.. Allen, one
of the attorneys for the defense, in
Browns hotel. Immediately
there was a comm otion, and the
friends of the prosecution began to
assemble. a watch was kept for
some time, and one or two attempts
were made to see what was going
on inside, the last OF which was re-
PEELED at The muzzle of a pistol.
Finally as the steamer was about to
leave. about midnight, carrying
Curlee on his way to San Quentin,
Jones and three attorneys emerged
from the room and went to the
wharf, when after few
words Curlee and Jones
shook hands heartily. During
the time JOi es was clOseted with
the lawyers, the County Judge was
reused from his slumbers and ver-
bally applied to to issue writ of
habeas corpus for Jones; but though
he accommodatingly attended in
chambers and waited an hour, no
papers were presented justifying his
Interference, and in fact no proper
papers at all were brought 10 his
nstice. Just what the defense Sc.
cured from Jones they will not re-
veal, but it Is certain that he has
broken away from the prosecution
and made his peace with the
defense. One story, quite often re-
peated, is that lie now swears that
Austin Brown, another witness for
the State, was the one who fired
the last shot into More's head, and
that N. H. HickersoD, another of
the prosecutiOn's witnesses, now
dead, was present assisting in the
murder. At 3o'clock this morn.
Ing Jones, accompanied by two of
the counsel for the defense, left
town in a wagon, presumably for
the Sespe, though this is not eer-
tain. Jones's wife is there. 1t Is
also stated that Austin Brown is
disgusted with himself, or some.
thing else, and will not again testi-
fy. The prosecution deny this, and
also that Jones has made any state
ment differing from that told on
the stand.
LATEK.-It Is ascertained, per-
haps to a certainty, that Jones in
future will positively refuse to tes-
tify,' on the ground that If he ad-
heres TO his story he will render
himself liable to prosecution for
arson, while If he testities differ
emily suit for perjury will be
brought against him.
