JONES' STORY CONTINUED
Arrest of Patrick and Himself. His
Attempted Suicide.
JONES TELLS OF HIS FIRST CONFESSION
On Cross Examina ion the Valet Says He Was
Led 10 Believe That if He Told the
Truth He Might Escape the
Death Penalty.
fBx the Associated Press.l

New York, April 3-Charles F. Jones,
who was the valet secretary to William
Marsh Rice, the aged millionaire who,
according to Jones' confession yesterday,
was murdered by the use of chloroform
in September last, finished his testimony
today on direct examination in the pro-
ceedings before Justice Jerome charging
Albert T. Patrick with murder. When
court adjourned on Tuesday, people filled
out of the little room in which Justice Je-
rome was conducting the examination of
Lawyer Patrick, filled with wonder at the
extraordinary story of the man
who confessed that he had placed
over the face of his benefactor as
he slept a folded napkin saturated with
chloroform, thereby causing the death OF
the millionaire. Today they heard the
same story repeated under a different
condition, but with even more dramatic
surroundings.
The story of the murder and conspiracy
which Jones outlined on Tuesday, he to-
day filled in with a wealth of detail and
with a GOODNESS and nerve which under
the circumstances was almost overwhelm-
ing.
According to the story of the valet
secretary, he and Patrick had drawn up
the bogus will and were waiting with
what patience they could, for old man
Rice to die when mill burned down in
Texas. Rice's connections there desired
to rebuild it, and he spoke of advancing
the one hundred thousand dollars or
$125,000 required to replace the burned
property. Patrick told me to use all my
influence" said Jones, today, with Rice
not to rebuild the mill as this would take
out all the ready cash from the estate"
But Rice insisted on advancing the
money, and authorized draft for $25,-
900 from one of his correspondents in

Ghosts Stalk About.

Ghosts of most frightful and hide
GUS appearance have taken full pos
session of the Hilleary house at Fish
er, near Elkins, w. Va. They con-
slider themselves neglected since the
mansion has been untenanted for
several months. The apparitions
are now often seen in open daylight.
The noises are heard at all times both
day and night, clocks striking, taps
on ba drum. Another curious
and mournful sound is heard as if
some orderly sergeant was calling a
roll. Only last week military signals
displayed from the east end of the
yard that surrounds the mansion
were seen by men at work in fields
near by. Travellers have for years in
passing by the mansion noticed
man in full military dress parading
the yard, but nothing was thought of
the matter until lately. The Hileary
House, on Roaring Creek, occupies
one Of the most delightful locations
in West Virginia. 1t is an historical
landmark. 1t was here under the
shady sugar trees that General Geo.
B. Mcclellan and Gen. VIM. Stark
Rosecrans had headquarters, July s,
8, 10, II and 10, 1861, when the battle
of Rich mountain was fought. From
here all General McClellan's dis

Not Good Taste.

The Somerset Classic Visitor very
aptly remarks:
st is not good taste for families in
which death has occurred to give pub
lie thanks to their neighbors and
friends for assistance rendered, either
by the officiating minister or through
the press. In some communities the
custom to do so prevails yet to a con-
siderable extent Let it be discontin-
ued. Ministers make such announce
ments when requested and papers
publish them, but not because they
think it is the right and proper thing
to do. Private acknowledgements of
gratitude and appreciation of kind
ness shown is in place under such cir
cumstances and means something.
Public announcements as rule are
out of place and ought not to be
