Jones made many confessions. each differing from all the others He acknowledged himself to be a liar. a thief. a murderer, and an all round villain The only redeeming thing about him was his willingness to commit suicide. He showed himself to be utterly despcable. conscienceless and dangerous And yet he is to be turned loose upon the community in considera- lion of his having aided in the conVlc- ton of another man.

DINED HIS ASSOCIATES
WILLIS WILLIAMS ENTERTAINS
FORMER CO-WORKERS.

Willis Williams, who resigned his posi-
ton as advertising manager for the
Omaha road Jan. l. gave a dinner to his
successor, Arthur M. Hull, his associates
in the offices and the railroad reporters
of the Twin Cities at the Merchants
hotel at o'clock last night.
Covers were laid for twenty five, and
after an excellent menu had been dis
cussed, c. E. Mosher, of the Pioneer
Press was chosen chairman, and a num-
Der of the guests responded to impromptu
toasts. The affair was an informal one,
and there were no prepared speeches.
The chairman called upon a number of
those present, each of whom spoke in
kindliest terms of the work of Mr.. Will
liams during his connection with the
Omaha, and while wishing him every
success with his new connection with
the Hamm Brewing company of this city,
in the capacity of advertising manager,
they assured Mr.. Hull of their hearty CO.
operation and help.
Five of those assembled had held the
position which Mr.. Williams is leaving,
and were in position to speak of the
duties of the office, and the obstacles
which Mr.. Williams overcame and which
Mr.. Hull has to face. The railroad rep
resentatives of the Dispatch and T h g
G o b also spoke briefly of their con-
nection with Mr.. Williams, both in his
position with the Omaha and of their
prior association with him in newspaper
work. The diners sat around the table,
in an informal meeting, over the smoke
Of good cigars for some hours, and ad-
Journed, one and all sharing the loss that
the Omaha has sustained in the reSigna-
ton of Mr.. Williams.
