Chicago Father.
CnICAoo, March l5.-A warrant Is out
for the arrest Of John Jones, clerk in a
large grocery house, charged with an
unnatural intimacy with hisown daugh'
ter and her subsequent murder, Jones'
l7.year old daughter died at the county
hospital shortly before l o'clock this
morning, the physicians think, OF arseni.
cal poisoning. Tho police draw the in
ference that she was murdered by her
father, from q most revolving story.
Jones Is widower and has seven chil.
dren. Three OF them are in IN orphan
asylum while he has kept tho other four,
including the dead daughter, in the
most sQualid poverty and neglect. Four
days ago the Humane Society began IN
investigation.
The eirl Nellie, when closely ques.
toned, stated that her father had held
improper and unnatural relations with
her at intervals for about a year. Fur.
ther, she stated that young married
man named Richard Betting, living in
the ncighborhood, had also abused her.
Jones and Betting were arrested imme.
diately. Betting admitted that he had
been intimate with the girl and declared
thatit was with the father'sconsent, Both
we're held in bail for a further hearing,
which was set for tomorrow. Jones
gave bail and was released.
Yesterday afternoon an officer Of the
Humane Society went 10 Jones' home
and found the girl lying upon the floor,
suffering from severe pains in the
stomach. She was taken to the hospital
and grew rapidly worse until death en-
sued. Jones has disappeared.

case with alacrity, and held out alluring
promises OF recovery from the very first

all, that there were no sickness In the
world, and they assured her that her
cough came, not from the lungs, but
from the liver and kidneys, and indi-
Gated n simple disorder out OF which
could grow nothing serious. Mr.. Dewey
lavished money upon tho Christian
scientists without stint. He gave 500
apiece to several so.called lecturers"
"or healers," "or teachers" as they are
yariously called, to deliver courses Of
lectures on Christian Science to Mrs.
Dewey. They made her believe that
she had built u wall around her lungs
by faith and they were all right. When

was approaching, Mr., Dewey was unable
longer to stand the strain Of the situa.
