DIR. JONES WATSON.
Alleged Wife Murderer Is
Taken to Jail

Hannibal, Mo-, December IL. -
Judge d. II. Eby this morning de-
clined to grant bail to DR.. Jones
Watson, who is charged with the
murder of his wife at New Lo don
last July. This marks the closing
chapter in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings instituted to obtain Wat
sons release. The prisoner was
taken back to the New London
Jail, where he will await the trial,
which is set for Jan. %.
Touching on the testimony TAX
Ell Mt the inquest, in his length y
opinion, Judge Eby said.
The evidence tends to show the
death OF the wife of the accused,
and also tends to show opportun-
ity for homicide, together with
traces of poisonous substance, in
the stomach of the deceased, short
ly after the fatal accident. There
is no evidence in the transcript
that the deceased did not come to
death, as charged, as there is no
evidence of external wounds, ex-
ceptlng Il small abrasion on the
nos
There was no evidence to show
that the organs were not in u nor
NAL and perfect condition, or that
she was not drowned, in fact, air
was found in her lungs according
to the evidence of experts. There
is evidence that the bridge was
protected to the height OF 5 feet.
He was thrown one way aud she
another. There was such freak.
ish combination of causes and eff
fects that the human mind cannot
reason it out. 1t might appear
singular that the accused would he
thrown on the bridge and lie there
while the deceased was thrown to
the river below, a distance of from
30 to 40 feet and receive little evil
dence of external injury, except
the confusion to the brain or
injury to organs of the heart.
Whether a jury can draw a con-
clusiOn is for the trial court to de-
termine.
