MR.. JONES ExoNERATED.
Vow He Goes out a Free Man--No Evil
dence Of Importance Except the Blood
Hound Trail WAS Prepared TO
Prove a Complete Aifbi.

James w. Jones, charged with COM
plIcity in the murder of aged John
Miller. of H, is free man. The
grand jury yesterday failed to return
an indictment against him and he was
released from prison where he had
been confined since 3 O'Clock Tuesday
morning.
Although moro than a score of wit
neesses were examined and most
careful investigation of the case was
made by the grand jury, there was
nothing TO connect Jones with the ter
rible tragedy, except the fact that
Tiger, one of Detective Branche's
bloodhounds, followed trail from
the scene of the crime to Jones house.
1t is understood that this had little
bearing with the Jurors They want
ed something far more convincing
than the mere action of bloodhound.
Even had Jones been indicted it is
understood his counsel were prepared
w plDNb ~ SUnpActp uAlOi. IL 10 Shid
at least five good and reputable wit
nesses were ready and willing to swear
they saw Jones at the pumping sta
ton, below Keedysville. when the b.
&. O. passenger train stopped there
Saturday evening. Miller was seen
talking near the overhead bridge when
the train left Keedysville. so that 1t
would have been impossible Tor Jones
TO have been at the scene of the crime
at the time it was committed.
The revolver found on Jones when
he was arrested did not cut any I'M
portant figure in the Investigation.
Miller's son thought the revolver was
his fathers weapon, but his means of
identification we're not regarded as
sufficient by the jury.
While Jones had all along insisted
that he was innocent and disclaimed
any knowledge of the crime, he was
very happy man when released.
His friends are very n uch pleased over
the outcome and with Jones and his
family rejoice in his vindlcation.
