Young CO1vin TestIfles in the Jennie
Jones Case.
William G. Colvin, who saws he is a
son of Jennie Jones, and is a claimant
TO her estate, was on the stand yester-
day in the probate court He told the
story of his life, which showed he had
been rolling stone He did not know
how old he was or where he was born
His earliest recollections were of living
with a Clark family IN st. Louis. He
remembered that his mother visited him
there, and took him to a family named
Cox, near Wilcox, Mo. He was then
known by both names, Colvin and Clark.
This latter family quarreled a great deal,
and so he ran away with Coles circus,
but left it at Memphis He then spent
some time OH the river boats. While in
Memphis he was visited by a man who
said his mother was living In st. Louis.
He used to get a letter every month
from his mother signed "ColVin," and the
letters always contained money, the aver
age amount being $50. Colvin did not
have in his possession any of the letters,
as his effects had been destroyed during
the st. Louis cyclone.
Ella Hammond, a former companion of
Jennie Jones, identified certain letters
which she had received from the woman,
and an attempt was made to have Colvin
testify that the handwriting was the
same as that of the letters which he had
received from his mother. This was,
however, not allowed. Colvin was then
shown photographs Of Jennie Jones. and
some of them he identified as being like
nesses of the woman Colvin had known
in childhood
Edna Hamilton was recalled, and iden-
titled an insurance policy which bore the
name of Louise Robbins. She gave fur
