husband. whose name Is Stephen Jones. is
carpenter living 10 Poughkeepsie. and has
not lived with his wife for IL years. A IA
year old son of Jones and the woman who
had deserted him is thought to have been
the cause OF the tragedy. He lived with his

and had frequent quarrels with the woman
on the boys account She would not give
