very thorough manner. He is very
able, hard-working and courteous Of
ficial
WALTER BRIGGS-I think that
Mr.. Jones has made a remarkably good
district attorney. He has attended to
his duties very promptly, and while he
has been just with criminals he has
taken good care of the county.
C. e. BRADBURY-My idea is that

Jones is able, honest and fearless.
What more can people require? To the
members of the bar he is uniformly
courteous.
GEORGE w. BEALE--I think that
Mr.. Jones is a first class district at
torney. He has discharged his duties
not only faithfully, but in such a way
as to make a record in the disposition
Of criminal cases. He has treated the
members of the bar fairly and without
partiality
WALTER f. DAVIS-I have always
found Mr. Jones obliging and court
eous, and he has made a very able dis
trict attorney.
EDWARD MERRIFIELD-Mr Jones
is very pleasant and courteous gen.
tleman, but so far as his official duties
as district attorney are concerned /
know nothing about them, as l have
not been in court.
JOHN f. SCRAGG-I have found Mr..
Jones as district attorney, the peer of
his able predecessors in the office. He
possesses great force of character. 1t
often requires effort for him to pro-
perly control his sympathy, but 1 OBJ
serve, when justice requires it, he does
so successfully. Withal he is very ac-
commodating to those having business
with the Office. Criminals alone need
fear him.
M. ]. WALSH--As long as I have
been a member of this bar, and as Of
ten as 1 have been trying cases with

sistent with his duties as prosecuting
othcer, and is, without doubt, a very
efficient district attorney

MILO ]. WILSON-Mr. Jones has al
ways been very nice to me- He seems
to know his business, and grasps the
questions before him at once. He is a
good lawyer and seems to deal fairly
with the people. 1t would seem to be a
trial for a man in his position to keep
his temper and get along we'll and turn
out the business of his office rapidly
and at the same time do justly by all.
p. w. STOKES-His ability has never
been questioned. l have heard very
fiattering opinions of Mr.. Jones from
men in town outside of the legal fra
ternity as we'll as among them. Per-
sonally, like him. l have known him
for many years, and have found him to
be liberal minded. He seems to take
very good care of the commonwealth,
and at the same time makes allow
ance for the frailties of man where
SutIl allowances are proper,
j. ELLIOT ROSS-Mr. Jones has
