SAM JONES rs DEAD
He PASSED AWAY IN A PULLMAN
BERTH.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, October 15.-"Sam"
Jones. the noted evangelist, dropped dead
this morning in an Oklahoma, Choctaw and
Gulf train near. Little Rock. Mr.. Jones
home is at Gainesville, Ga.
Mr.. Jones was travelling from some point
west Of Little Rock and his destination
was Memphis. The body was found in his
off the train at Little Rock. 1t is believed
Mr.. Jones died about o'clock this morn
ing
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, October 15.-
Sam Jones, the evangelist, had been hold
ing revival services in the Tabernacle in
this city for the past two weeks. He was to
have addressed audiences yesterday, but 1t
developed early in the day that he had dis
appeared. Although vigorous search was
made for him. nothing was learned as to
the whereabouts of the evangelist until
news was received today of his death on a
train near Little Rock.
Later 1t developed that Mr.. Jones left the
city hurriedly last evening, going from his
MOTEL to the railway station while a car
riage waited to convey him to the evening
services. No reason for his sudden de-
parture was given, nor did he state his
destination. Mr.. Jones' meetings here had
been held in an unfinished building He
has spoken to large audiences and it is be-
lieved that he had become suddenly i'll as
a result of speaking in the unfinished
building and had started home for this
reason.
Samuel Porter Jones, widely known as
Sam JONES'" was born in Chambers coun-
ty, Alabama, October 49, 1s47 In 1859 he
removed to Cartersville Ca, where he
studied under private tutors and at board
Ing schools. After taking course in law
he was admitted to the Georgia bar in 1869,
beginning his professional life with bright
prospects for success: His early advance
ment was, however. greatly impeded by
several attacks of dyspepsia, which devel-
oped into nervous form and was respon-
sible for his becoming addicted to the use
of strong drink. 1t was not long before that
habit had put an end to his career as
lawyer. Early in 1872 he became deeply
impressed on the subject Of religion, and in
the same year he professed conversion and
was within a short time enrolled as a
clergyman in the Methodist Episcopal
Church South.
For eight years he served as pastor of
various charges under the North Georgia
conference. He then became agent for the
North Georgia Orphanage, remaining in
that work for twelve years, during which
period he devoted much time to evangelistic
labors all over the country. Later he de-
voted himself almost exclusively to that
work and the lecture PLATFORM holding great
revival meetings in all parts of the United
States. In summer months he was the
principal figure on the platforms Of various
chautauquas. AS an evangelist his methods
were striking and unique and his labors
were frequently attended by the most graft
flying results. He was the author of the
following works: Sermons and Sayings"
Music Hall Sermons" "Quit Your Mean
ness" st Louis Series" Sam Jones' Own
Book and 'Thunderbolts.

dent Of the Buckeye Pipe Line Company,
was put on the stand Immediately. When
asked what was his business the witness
appealed to the court. He said the an
swer would tend to criminate him, and
asked for immunity from future prosecu-
ton. Attorney Phelps for the defense re-
marked:
well, l guess we will have to make him
immune and the court ordered the wit
ness to answer questions. This order ex-
tends the immunity. No more objection to
answering questions was made. and the

dent of the Lima division Of the company,
gave the geographical bounds of this di-
vision.

between 500 and GOO storage tanks, each Of
which holds about 10000 barrels. On the
west of the division the connecting line
with that Of the company is the Indiana
Pipe Line Company. Although Attorney
Phelps said 1t was well known that the
Indiana pipe line ran to the refinery at
Whiting, Ind, the witness said he had
never been to Whiting and could not testify
from knowledge.
There was also an eastern connection for
the lines of the Buckeye, but witness could
give no details.
