Although Mr.. Jones Had Caused Her Hus-
bands Arrest for Threats.
tall sickly looking man, who answered to the
name OF Conley r. Jones, was prisoner in the
Police Court this morning, the charge against
him being threats toward his wife. For four
teen years they have lived together, and the
husband said to Judge Miller that he was
profane man, but that he had not used
profane language toward his wife. A week
ago. when he was arrested, he said his wife had
good cause to have him arrested, for then he
did use violent and profane language toward
her.
This time she charged that he pulled her hair.
She told the judge that they lived at No. 1873
East Capitol street.
The trouble between them resulted from a
desire on his part to sell the furniture and
leave this city. The husband said that he
was sickly and had not bought the furni-
ture. He also said that he was sorry to
say that be was profane and had q bad
temper. but that was due, he thought,
to his Illness. In answer to his wifes state
ment he said he had thrown plates on the floor,
but that he had always taken care to see that
they never struck his wife.
When the judge had heard both sides of the
story the husband said that he would pack his
trunk and leave here il bis wife 80 desired.
The latter, however, did not seem to have
any desires in the matter.
She was unable to tell how much she was
afraid of him, and when asked il she wanted
him sent to jail she made no response. All she
wanted was peace in the family. =
Judge Miller spoke Of marriage ~ a game Of
give and take and disposed Of the case by put
ting the husband under his personal bonds to
keep the peace. The couple left the court to-
gether as though nothing had ever happened to
disturb their domestic happiness

jumping from a top-story window Of the Great
Western Hotel, WAS held in London on Satur-
day. Mrs. Maude was the mother Of Gwyneth
Msude. the young girl who is now under arres,
for swindling various firms In London. The
romantic history Of the Maudes, who are con-
nected with several of the noble houses Of Great
Britain. has already been told at length. Testi-
mony was given to show that Mrs. Maude had
instigated her daughter to commit the thefts,
and that she was stricken with remorse in con-
sequence. Attaches Of the hotel gave evidence
showing that Mrs. Maude had deliberately
jumped from the window. and physicians tes-
tilted that the woman's neck had been broken.
The jury returned a verdict that Mrs. Maude

In the recent Pinkerton investigation at
Chicago Senators PETER and Gallinger ques-
toned Capt. P. F. Foley, Chicago P,nkerton
official. The captain was asked whether the
Pinkerton agency had a stock Of guns. He re-
piled that they had 400 rifles and 5000 re-
volvers, but the men had strict orders not to
use arms except to defend themselves.
In reply to questions put by Senator PETER
Capt. Foley described theory Of evictions in
mining camps. He said that the agency was
engaged in this work. Evictions were not
made without legal processes, but the sheriff Of
the county was unable to serve the papers With
out assistance from the Pinkerton men, because
those who were not in sympathy with the ten
ants were afraid to serve the papers. aud those
who were In sympathy with them would not
do It.
Referring to the Homestead trouble of several
months ago, the witness WIS asked whether the
men went to Pennsylvania under arms. He re-
piled that they did not take AIMS, but they were
armed ut Pittsburg with Winchester rifles sent
from Chicago. He said thas Mr.. Pinkerton's
orders we're that they should Be armed with
clubs only, aud Mr.. Foley confessed that he
diaobeyed orders In causing the men to take
Winchsstsrs. But be did 90 to save life and to
prevent disorder. He said that miners and iron
