FIRST WIFE WOULDN'T ApPERA
Van Wrinkle Thinks She Has Been
Tixed--Jones Got OFF.

AS was expected the State was unable
to procure the attendance of the wit
nesses in the case of Andrew Jones, the
negro who was to have been tried in
the General Sessions Court today for big
amy and the case fell through. Assist
ant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle expressed
the opinion to the Court that Jones
first wife, the complaining witness, has
been fixed, as she positively refuses to
come from New York.
Jones was married to Priscilla Hill in
New York on June 8. 1891, by the Rev
B. H Walker. They lived happily to-
gether for six years. On May 5, 1897
Jones was married to Miss Julia E. Jones
by the Rev. Mr.. Motley of this city, at
No 1291z Jackson avenue, and up to the
time of his arrest was living with her
at No. $40 West Thirty-eighth street, New
York. He is in the express business.
Jones was released on his own recog-
nizance this morning and it is not likely
that the case will ever come up again.
