WANTED FOR CRIME
GEORGE JONES SERVING TIME
AT FORT LEAvENWoRTH, A
FORMER IoWAN.

beS MOlNeS, July 20. George Jones,
who is at Fort Leavenworth serving
time for assaulting with intent to kill
an officer of the United States army,
has been identified as Albert L. Win
tiers, formerly of Knoxville, Iowa, by a
peculiar marking on his right ear.
Winters served term in the Iowa
penitentiary at Fort Madison for bur-
glary, and local detective this morn
ing claimed to have written con-
fession made by Winters while incar-
cerated in this state to the effect that
he with others committed a murder
which attracted great deal of at
tention in the west. The detective re-
fused to divulge the name of the mur-
der but displayed the written confes-
sion made upon brown piece of
paper. 1t is claimed his confession
was given to friend who visited the
penitentiary and afterward was lost for
several years. Some months ago it was
discovered and since search has been
made for Winters. 1t is believed an
Investigation will be made at once con-
cerning the alleged confession, and
the man in Fort Leavenworth Sweat
ed" On the matter.
Albert Winters, it is claimed, was
shipped to Iowa from New York with
a carload of waits He was adopted
by Mr.. Lemmen at Knoxville, who
did all possible by environment to
bring the boy up Alright.
Served at Reform School.
That his efforts were fruitless is evl.
denced by the fact that Winters serv-
ed two terms consisting of five years
at the Eldora reform school for boys.
In 1894 during October he was con-
victed of burglary at Knoxville and
sentenced for ten years in Fort Madi-
son. His term expired May 2l, 1900.
On August Is he enlisted in the
army at Des Moines, was assigned to
the Twentieth infantry and sent to the
Philippines.
There he deserted the regim ent and,
lit is said, joined band of Filipino Ia
drones This could not be proved
against him, and after his capture and
trial by court-martial he was sentenced
to five years in prison for desertion.
He was sent to the military prison
at Alcatraz. CAL

tempt to escape by assaulting one OF
the guards, nearly killing him. He was
overpowered and taken back to prison
and placed in a dungeon. Later he
was tried for assaulting the guard and
sentenced to serve ten years in the
federal prison at Fort Leavenworth.
| The Identification.
After Jones had been photographed
at the federal prison a comparison OF
his measurements was made with 9th
ers on file. His measurements compar
ed with one card in only one particu-
lar-that Of the right ear. But the
others were so close that the pardon
clerk decided that the two records
were of the same person. The old rec
ord made thirteen years before was o.
"Albert L. Winters"
Jones was called in. The clerk call
ed him Winters and Jones started. FL
nally, after being sweated, he confess
ed that he was Winters. He had beer
sent to the federal prison, which was
then a military prison fourteen years
before for desertion from the army.
Since then, the prison authorities
say, he has served time for various
offenses.

tnlrty-three Men Killed While Work-

Kingston Jamaica, June 28. Thirty
three persons have been killed by an
accident which took place near Span
ish Town, ten miles west of Kingston,
in the main conduit Of the West India
Electric company, which operates the
street cars from Kingston and the
shareholders of which are principally
Canadians.
Nearly a hundred laborers had been
detailed to remove the sand from the
enormous pipe, which is mile long
and which conveys water from the in
take on the Rio Cobre to the turbines
Of the power house. The work had
practically been completed when or
ders were given to allow small guam
tity Of water to enter the conduit.
Through misrepresentation, accident or
carelessness the full force of water
was turned on, and mad struggle to
escape by means of the manholes en-
sued, with the result that thirty three
persons were killed.
The tragedy has cast a gloom over
the colony, and a rigid investigation
into the cause is now In progress.

Burness, one Of the most remarkable

claimed was due him.

Philadelphia, June 2S. -Four thou
sand more men will be discharged from
the Baldwin Locomotive works within
the next few days. six thousand have
already been dropped from the COM
pany's service, and the working force
will soon be reduced to 6,o00 men. The
greatest number ever employed at the
works is about 10000. The action Of
the management is due to a lack of or
ders for locomotives and is directly at
tributed to the falling off in business
on railroads.
