The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1884-09-11

Jones had 4 young and beautiful
wife, who was several years the
junior Of Jones. Near Jones S
lived one Sylvester Grey who rc
ioiced in q most amiable. and cX-
cellent wife and three very beauti-
ful children, bat it is evident now
that Nlr. Sylvester forgot that lie
, was married and for matter Of that
so did Mrs. Jones, but Jones did
not. If Mrs. Jones forgot the re-
spcct AMI fidelity that was due to
i Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Jones had most
lively sen>e Of what was due to
himself. and he made up his mind
that it would be q remarkably cold
day when he, the aforesaid Jones,
got left. On Sunday last Mrs.
Jones made up her mind that she
would levant with Mr.. Sylvester
Grey, and Mr.. Sylvester Grey made
up his mind that he would fly with
Mrs. Jones. Everything was ready,
| tile pair stood in the depot ready to
! fly; the conductor lad halloed 'all
| aboard" and they were just in the
act of stepping on the train when
who should suddenly appear on the
/ scene but Jones-the injured Jones.
Fly and save yo~rself darling, said
Mrs. Jones, and darling flew and
left Mrs. Jones to take care of her
self. Did Jones tear his hair, up
braid his wife and try and commit
suicide by stabbing himself with 4
bar Of soap? Not bit of it, and
right here is where Jones show
ed his good horse sense. He
never said a word to Mrs Jones.
but he took hold Of her ard began
to strip her of her jewelry. lie
lightened her of her watch and
chain. he took of her bangles, q
nice pair $50 bracelets he slipped
in his coat-tail pocket, necklace
made of gold dollars was the next
thing that came to hand, finally he
went for her diamond earrings; this
was the last ounce on the back of
the dromedary, and Mrs. Jones
fought like tiger, but it was no
use. Jones evidently meant busi-
ness, and as b., had the law on his
side resistance was useless, so rath-
er than part with her ears Mrs.
Jones let the rings go. Jones evil
IDENTIFY considered that he had all
that was valuable about Mrs. Jones.
They were love souvenirs that lie
| had paid for in hard cash in brighter
and happier days, and he had ho
idea that Mr.. Sylvester Grey should
carry off all that valuable plunder
with the othcr movable property.
There was no word Of reproach, no
threats. Jones turned on his heel
and went quietly back to his work
just as if nothing had happened,
leaving Mrs. Jones to 60 to Jericho
or any other foreign capital which
she found most congenial to her
health. 1t may be considered fine
writing acco ding to the Concord or
Chautauqua standards. but l say.
Bully for Jones. I admire Jones,
He is my standard Of the esthetc
man of the future. lie has shown
himself man Of taste and feeling
taste in the articles he selected
from Mrs. Jones adornments and
feeling in the manner in which he
went after them. Again l say,
Bully for Jone@." He did just
what he ought l. have done. for q
woman of that k.Gd was not worth
fighting for.
We have the promise Of another
Lunatic Asylum scandal. Mrs Wylie
the millionaire widow of Tarry'
town, who disappeared so suddenly
two years ago, it appears has been
incarcerated in a Private Asylum
by her loving relatives all that time,
She had an income Of $4,000
year, and her relations wanted tc
spend it for her. They had her de
clared a drunkard, her servants
were suborned to do it. They then
shipped her off to a private lunatic
asylum and paid one hundred dol
lars per week to have her kept the e
OF course the doctor who kept this
lunatic paradise was convinced thai
she was mad as q March hare sc
long as he gnt y hundred dollars
week for keeping her. This is ths
some worthy that kept Prouse
Cooper in confinement seyera
years, who is as sane as any man
in New York. Mrs. Wylie's rela
tives got hold of all her property
and made $4,000 year by keep
ing her in prison. The affair viii
be before the Courts in week, anc
I hope it may lead to q thorough
investigation Of these private asy
lum horrors and stamp them Oh
forever.
W. J. Hutchinson, the broke
who tried to swindle John R. Duff
and got kicked out Of the Stocl
Exchange for his rascality, losing
