tempted to avenge the death OF Presl-
dent Garfield by shooting at Guiteau,
the assassin, William Jones, locally
known as "Bill' Jones, the avenger,
a farmer, Sunday night shot and killed
John A. Mcpherson of Detroit at
Bates farm, near Brookland, on the
outskirts of this city.
The weapon used was shotgun,
and McPherson's breast was riddled
with bullets. An unloaded rifle was
found lying beside the body. The
shotgun was found on the porch of
Jones' house.
Jones was arrested shortly after
the killing and brought to this city
and lodged IN jail.
Mrs. Jones, who is said to have been
an eye witness to the killing, has not
been found. Jones admitted to Coro-
ner hewitt that he shot Mcpherson,
but declares that he acted in selfde-
fense. The police have learned, it is
said, that the two men had quarreled
over possession of Il horse.
Mcpherson, who was 30 years old,
had been working on Jones farm
since he was discharged from the
United States marine corps June ~
last.
Several days following upon Presi-
dent Garfield's death, Guiteau was tax
en- to court Tor Il preliminary hearing,
and it was while he was being re
turned to Jail under charge of District
Marshal Corkhill, that Jones attempt
ed to shoot him. Jones was riding n
spirited horse He followed the pris-
oner from the court house to within
several blocks of the Jail, when he
suddenly spurred his horse, darted
through the crowd. drew a revolver
and fired into the prison van. Guiteau
who was sitting near the door, caught
glimpse of Jones rs he drew the
weapon, and lodged The bullet sped
over his head and lodged in the side
of the wagon.
Jones, believing he had killed
Guiteau, dug the spurs into his horses
side and escaped arrest at that time.
He was captured shortly afterward
near Fredericksburg. Va. Jones was
tried and acquitted. Those who re-
member him at that time describe
him as a daredevil sort of man and
constantly doing things that drew
him into public notice. Jones in
later wears has been regarded as n
good, law-a5iding citizen, and the po.
lice records fail to disclose anything
against him.
