After his honor's. remarks, 1t Ii very
likely that he will have Il huckster in court
almost every day.
john Jones, colored, who belongs to
the Irwin Ford school of infamy, was the
defendant on a charge OF disorderly con-
duct preferred by Mrs. Mary Lynch, a
respectable white woman, living near
Shepherds Landing.
Jones has served a term in the Mary
State penitentiary for assaulting a de-
neuted white woman, and has also at
tempted to commit a Similar oifense on
his Step-daugbter. He would have perpe-
trated the same fieudish crime on Mrs.
Lynch early Tuesday morning if she had
not frightened him away.
Mrs Lynch lives with her husband and
children in a small cottage a quarter OF
a mile away from the road.
She said at half past two O'Clock Tuesday
morning lie knocked at her back door; she
came to the window. and, recognizing nim

UNABLE TO HOLD HIM.
The sergeant told Prosecuting \ ttorney
Richa rdson OF the mans bad record, and
Mr.. Richardson tried TO file some other
charge against him, hut it was impossible.
After Mrs Lynch's testimony, his honor
examined the information and regretfnlly
said il was impossible to hold Jones.
The law says specifically" remarked
his honor, that disorderly conduct must
lie committed on public street or high
way, and according to Mrs. Lynch's state
nient she lives back of the road. l must
dismiss the defendant
Mr.. Richardson said he thought at the
time he could not be held. and expressed
regret, with his honor. thatsuch outrageous
conduct must go unpunished.
Jones, a big, hulking fellow, with n face
of the most viilianous type, SUNK out OF
the courtroom and stood ON a corner some
little distance from the court, Ia ughing over
ais escape from the punishment he should
have received if the law had not been SO
defective.
Sergt Anderson told The Times reporter
that Jones boasted TO him, when arrested,
that he would have his neck stretched
yet because of some white woman, whose
chastity he intended to destroy.
Jones will be closely watched by the po-
lice, and husbands and fathers living in
the county should keep a strict lookout for
him.
