TOM JONES IN JAIL HERE.
And the Two Children That Escaped Him Are
in the County Home.

The negro was brought here on the
3:4O train on the Southern Railway.
A great crowd, composed principal
ly of negroes, was at the depot and
along the streets to see him. About
the jail entrance there We're Il hun
dred or more people.
On the same train with him was The
two children who had escaped his
murderous intentions. They were on
their way to the county home.

feet and stolid faces. Over their rag
ged dresses they wore boys coats,
which gave them a most prrtesque
appearance. On their faces were still
the blood, spattered from their muir
dered sister, with whom they were
sleeping.
A more pathetic spectacle has not
been seen in Raleigh in many day.
But it was for the murderer and
not for these little waits that the
crowd had eyes. People iostled one
another trying to catch a sight of the
author of so terrible a crime.
Those who saw him beheld littfe

wore a cheap checked suit ana a
black derby hat much too large for
his cocoanut-shaped head. His heavy
eyes were blood-shot and a slight mus
tache covered his upper lip. He has

THE NEGRO GIVEN TWO TRIALS.
Coroner's Jury Views the Charred Bodies in
lie Smoking Ruins.

The negro had two trials yesterday
one before the county coroner, DR..
j. j. l.. McCullers, and the other be-
fore Magistrates j. ID. Johnson and
II. d. Hand.
The coroner's jury found that Ella
Jones and her five children came to
their death at the hands of Tom
Jones, and the magistrates committed
him to Wake county jail without bail
for trial at the next term of court
here, beginning Monday, March Goth.
The jury sworn by the coroner con-
sisted of S. S. Turner. w. ID. John

trunks of both from the thighs to the
head were intact, though crisp and
easily broken to pieces. In fact the
skull of the girl had already crum-
bled to pieces, but the skull of the wo-
man had not even had all the scalp
burned off. The fractures made by
the axe were therefore plainly visi-

had been crushed in by the blows.
On her breast were the remains of
her infant Save here and there a
charred bone. there were no traces of
the other small children. The vitals
of both the bodies were plainly visi-

The girl lay very near the door,
while the mother was in the south
west corner of the house. Near her
was the murderous axe. The bowie

THE MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME.
Tom Jones Was Jealous of His Reputation as
Preacher"

Then the question was presented:
What motive was there for such an
awful crime and wholesale murder?
Rut one motive could be found.
As stated above Tom Jones is Il
nreacher and very proud of the fact.
But this did not prevent his being Il
too-freouent visitor to the house of
Ella. Jones, who was known to be a
woman of bad character. This rela-
ton between them had existed for a
year or more.
A month ago Ella Jones gave birth
stated that preacher" Jones was the
child's father. Also she had called on
preacher Jones to assist her in sup
porting herself and family.
This he had at first declined to do,
though not denying the charge laid
at his door. Finally, however, he had
consented to pay the woman 81 a
month for a certain period if she
would relieve him from all further
claims on him in regard to the mat
ter, but no papers had been drawn up.
Only the day before the murder Tom
Jones had consulted Magistrate j. ID.
Johnston in regard to this compro-
mise and expressed much irritation
at the woman for bothering him and
hurting his reputation in the COM
munity.
This is the only cause that anyone
has been able to assign for the murder
of the woman. OF course the oldest
daughter was killed and the four chill
dren burned in order to hide the first
crime.
And had it not been for the escape
of little Laura and her sister from
the burning building after Jones' de-
parture, his crime might never have
peen known.
