A Man Kills His Sweetheart and Her
Mother, Then Commits Suicide.
CENTERvILLE, Ia, Feb. I5.--George
Jones shot and killed his sweetheart,
Leah Martin, her mother Mrs. w. J.
Martin, and then put bullet into his
own head, yesterday evening. The
reasons for the deed are unknown, but
it is supposed that the parents OF the
girl, with whom Jones had been keep
ing company for two years, had object
ed to their relations. Jones was of
good family, and the Martins were also
highly respectable people. Jones went
to their home on the street car in the
evening, and the last seen of
him alive was when he entered
the house. A short time after
several shots were heard. Neighbors
rushed to the house and found
Mrs. Martin and her daughter on the
floor. Mrs. Martin had bullet in her
head and one in her breast, and was
dead. The daughter had a bullet in
her head and one in her neck, and will
die. Jones was found outside the
house with a great hole in his temple
and his brains oozing out. The scene
in the house indicated that Jones had
gone there and had a quarrel with the
girl, and that her mother interfered
between them; that Jones shot tho
mother first and then the daughter.

drove the hack which took Pearl Bryan
to the scene of her death was arrested
Saturday night and it is believed that
the whole story will be told. Saturday
night George IL. Jackson, colored

police. He said that on the night of
the murder he was at the corner of
George and Plum streets, when two
men asked him if he wanted to
make SIS. He said yes" and they
engaged him to drive themselves
and the murdered girl to Fort
Thomas in hack. He drove them to
within so yards Of where the girls
headless body was found. He said the
two men lifted the girl out of the hack.
She appeared stupid and could hardly
talk. They disappeared with her be-
hind some bushes, and in a few min
utes he heard stified scream and
then a low moan. The coachman
became SO scared that he ran all
the way back to Cincinnati
He was taken to the Jail and identified
Alonzo Walling and Scott Jackson as
the men whom he drove out, together
with Pearl Bryan, to Fort Thomas on
the night of her murder.
