THE DARK SIDE.
There are thousand rumors flying
about over the cause which led to the
terrible murder to-day. DIR. Jones
told several OF his friends that Capt.
Veal wronged his wife nearly twenty
three years ago at a hotel in this city,
two years before he married her. She
was then widow with large property
interests and Captain Veal acted as her
agent in some business matters. Ac-
cording TO the slayer the wrong had
been locked in the bosom of his wife
for upwards OF quarter OF century,
until month ago when she confessed
to him, and he determined to wipe out
the wrong with the LIES blood OF the
alleged perpetrator. II is stated also
- 81. It'd T. al n
letter from CAPT. Veal. Enclosed was
a latter from Jones 10 Veal, in which
the former served notice on the cap
tain that he would kill him II he dared
show his face in Dallas. This is de-
MED. but IL is admitted that Jones
warned Veal not 10 come 10 Dallas.
There is another dark picture
dragged from the gallery Of memory
by this affair. Twelve year, ago at
Waxahachie q lady connected with
ono Of the leading families accused
the captain OF Offering her gross
insult. He was pastor Of q church at
that time and member Of the Metho-
dat conference. The affair created q
great sensation at the time and led TO
The accused being expelled from the
Methodist church and also having his
name dropped from the roll Of mem
bership In the Masonic brotherhood,
the e aud lodge taking action.
Justice Braswell held aninquest on the
remains this afternoon. Gen. Bush and
Robert Walker were the witnesses
heard. Their evidence corroborates
the statement made by Messrs. Worthy
ana Mendez and a verdict was found IN
accordance with the facts-that W. q.
Veal came TO his death al the hands OF
DR.. r.. II. Jones, As the facts, or
alleged facts, became known
the friends Of the dead
man and the public gem
erally denounced the killing in severe
terms and declare that Jones, even II his
charges are true, should have reirained
from publishing the story 70 the world
after SO many years and bringing dis
grace upon his family. The public Is
greatly wrought up over the affair:
Jones has his friends and many o.
them called upon him at the jail
TODAY. 1t Is understood that he
will. by means Of % habeas corpus trial,
endeavor TO secure his liberty on bond
aud at the trial the skeleton 10 The
