JONES SURRENDERS.
Given up By His Son Last Night
and iu jail,

E M joiner, the alleged murderer
OF Mrs E M Jones and Mrs Sarah
Parmenter, arrived at the police
station shortly after z o'clock last
evening, in the custody OF his son,
and surrendered himself to Captain
Parker whom he met at the door.
About nightfall he appeared at the
home OF his children (by the first
wife) near Relief Camp No. 2. There
he was informed of the vigorous
search being made by the police for
him, and promptly requested his son
to take him to the police station. In
the Deputy Sheriff's Office Jones
told his story OF the crime -or rath-
er part OF it, saying that he would
later publish to the world the details
of the causes leading up to the
double murder.
Jones claims that when he was on
the car Saturday night Mrs Jones
was accompanied by the mortorman
Pixley, who figured in the cass. He
limited, although somewhat vaguely,
that he had previously suspected
Pixley OF having part in his domes-
tic affairs After going up Manoa
he returned to his home, loaded his
revolver put five extra cartridges in
his pocket and repaired to the
Parmenter place. Taking off his
shoes he climbed over the hedge
and stole upon the veranda. From
that vantage he looked through the
window and saw his former wife in
bed. He then laid down in ham,
mock and went to sleep. According
to his statement he was deeply in
toxicated at the time.
| He was aroused sometime later by
a noise in the yard and upon looking
through the window again discov-
cred that Mrs Jones had gone. A
moment later he heard talking on
the pavement. Going over the
hedge again he appeared on the
scene of the noise aud saw the
motorman and Mrs Parmenter. His
story of the shooting was rather.
vague. He said, however, that he
did not intend to kill Mrs Jones but
merely to shoot at and frighten
hsr.
After the shooting he went out
toward Makiki, climbed Punchbowl
and then went up Tantalus. He
was taken care OF on the mountain
by an old native whom he told he
was searching for land shells. From
that place he wen. down into Pauoa
valley and most OF the time since
was spent in the brush aud rice
pstches. While in Pauoa Jones
stole. some clothes from a China.
man which he had on when taken
into custody. At one time, Jones
relates, two police officers passed
within a few feet OF his hiding
place and were plainly seen by
him. &
AT last in sheer desperation from
the hardships encountered he de-
cidsd to give up the battle for fur
ther libsrty and came iuto town.
The rest has already been tol 4.
At the police station Jones was a
mere shadow OF his former self. He
was oil o7er with dirt, torn by the
lautana and faifly baked by the sun.
His nerves were gone and hs was so
weak that he could hardly stand i.
Egen his intimates hardly recogniz,
ed him and the remarkable change
that had come over him 10 so short
a period. After telling his story he
was giy,n heavy stimulauts which
served to brace him up little.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
took the accused murderer to Oahu
prison. Upon arrival there Jones
was found to be in high fever aud
seemed bit delirlous. Several
times ia few mioutes he called for
