Cedar Falls, March 6.-Miss Mabel
Jaynes, daughter of Henry Jaynes. of
Union township who disappeared from
home at the time Orville Jones, the
farmer living near GAINESVILLE, suddenly
disappeared has returned to this city,
after being absent since Friday, Febru-
airy 8. She is now at the home Of her
written her father, who Is living alone
OH the farm, that she has returned and
Is ready to go back home, being duly
repentant and sorry for her conduct,
but claiming that she was dominated
in her actions by the stronger mind of
Farmer Jones.
Miss Jaynes does not deny that she
and Jones left Waterloo together on
Friday Feb 9, for Omaha, where they
have been living since. She denies,
however, that she went willingly with
Jones, who has a wife and several
small children. She weeps over the
thought that Jones should exert such a
reslstless influence over her, and over
the disgrace that has come into her life
thru yielding to his superior power Of
mind. She says that for some days
before she and Jones left the city
Jones had exerted an influence over
her. baneful in it's effects but Of such
a nature that she was not able to resist
it.
Miss Jaynes arrived in this city last
Friday, coming directly from Omaha.
where the couple has been since they
left this county nearly month ago.
She says that she had been away from
home only a short time until she rea-
lized that she had done wrong in yield
ing to the opportunities Of Jones.
She left Jones in Omaha, but she
does not say what he expects to do,
whether he will remain there or will
return to his deserted wife and chill
dren who are planning on selling the
personal effects on the rented farm
and remove to GAINESVILLE where Mrs.
Jones' parents reside.
Was She Hypnotized7
There are those who may deride the
claim that Miss Jaynes was hypnotized,
hut an incident is recounted which
goes to prove that she was not acting
in a normal frame of mind It is said
that she has a steady fellow at the old
home and that he presented her with
a. $25 gold watch about two weeks
prior to her elopement with Jones. She
took this fine piece OF jewelry with
her, and this is taken to corroborate
her claim that she was led by a mind
that was stronger than her own. It
should be remembered that Miss
Jaynes is but 1S years Of age, while
here ,paramour was nearly 40.
AS to their relations while in Oma-
fa, the young lady had nothing to say.
She expressed herself as very glad to
get back to her friends. She has
seen sufficient of the world, she says,
and was greatly surprised at the size
and Importance OF the cities she pass
ed thru. She states that she has writ
ten her father at Finchford asking his
forgiveness and the privilege Of re-
turning home and resuming her posi-
ton as housekeeper
Left Jones Unawares.
Miss Jaynes says Jones knew moth
Ing of her intended departure for home,
that she left him without his knowl-
edge
From her conversation she appears
to he unfriendly to Jones. It is plainly
evident from her demeanor and her
conversation that she was the victim
Of an older and more experienced per-
son. She appears to be a girl who is
totally ignorant Of the ways Of the
world.
