record he made while at Cambridge,
which institution also attended.
I, H. BURNS-Mr. Jones IL a good
lawyer, and carries on the business OF
the office to the benefit of the general
public.
HON. G. =, OMALLEY-The fact
that not q single indictment has been
duashed for irregularities nnd that no
blunder of even the most trivial kind
has ever appeared in the workings of
the office under Mr.. Jones manage
ment, TO my mind best proves the
worth and faithfulness of the district
attorney.
HON. II. ]. DUGGAN-Mr. Jones Is
good officer, and an able and eloquent
district attorney. He Is obliging, cour-
teous and a most successful prosecu-
tor.
T. p. HOBAN-Mr. Jones has made
very efficient district attorney, and 1t
will be difficult to improve upon ham.
He Is competent in every way and has
been very courteous in the Office, some
thing that is appreciated by the attor-
neys of the bar
FRED w. FLEITZ-Mr. Jones has
been a very courteous and obliging Of
fetal. He has performed his work con-
scientiously to the public and cour-
teonsly and obligingly to the members
of the bar. He has expedited the bus,-
ness of the office as much as could be
done in Justice to the increase of busi-
ness he has had to dispose of.
JOHN Il. MURPHY think Mr..
Jones is a very courteous official, ana
has attended faithfully to the duties of
his office He has worked hard and
made a good record. He deserves the
thanks of the bar for printing in such
nice, convenient form, for the use of
| the attorneys, the criminal trial lists
| that have been used at every term
of the quarter sessions.
! JAMES j. O'MALLEY-Mr. Jones
has made a first class district attor-
ney, and has conducted the office with
credible success. He has introduced
some new ideas in the way of conduct
| ing the affairs of the office, particularly
| the printing of the criminal trial lists,
| something that all the members of the
bar appreciate.
| S. b. PRICE-Mr. Jones is a cour-
| teous officer. and has prosecuted his
cases with ability.
| H. w. MULHOLLAND-I think !
| can approve of Mr.. Jones' career as
| district attorney almost fully and en-
tirely. 1 thought when Mr.. Jones first
entered upon the duties of his office as
district attorney he carried into the
| office too much of the aggressiveness
| and anxiety to secure convictions
which he had formerly shown to secure
acquittals when acting on the other
side of the case defending those ac-
| cused of crime. This could not, / sup
pose, have been very well otherwise-a
man cannot change his manner of do
ing things in a day.
have always found Mr.. Jones, since
he has been district attorney, court
eous and obliging to the full extent the
! duties of his office as public prosecu-
tor would permit; and I think that
every one will acknowledge his ability
and earnestness in the performance OF
the duties OF his office.
| JUDGE WARD-Mr. Jones has made
an able and efficient officer
GEORGE S. HORN-District Attor-
ney Jones, like Messrs. Gunster, Sim
rell, Connolly, Edwards and Kelly, the

flcer.
