such day in 1859, after the adoption OF

SUSPICIOUS DEATH In UNION.
Mrs. w. L. Jones, OF Salnda, Dies
From Effects of Strychine.

Coroner Hames, of Union county
was called upon on last Monday t.
investigate the sudden death of Mrs
w. T. Jones, who died at her home
In Santuc soon after 12 O'Clock
Sunday night. and the jury returned
verdict that she came to her deaf,
rom strychnine administered by
Parties unknown to the jury.
ID. j T. Jeter testified that he was
called upon Sunday night about 12
O'Clock to go to see Mrs. Jones. who
was said to be in convulsions. Be.
lore reaching the Jones dwelling the
doctor heard screams, and on reach
ing the room where the dying woman
lay she was in commissions, her bodv
rigid, mead thrown back, pupils wide
iy dilated, lower jaw fixed and her
hands folded SO tightly across her
breast that hey could not be moved
The doctor gave her an injection of
morphine and states that her mind
was clear, but her shrieks were brok-
en- by convulsions. There was bot
tie OF strychine on the bureau in the
room, Hnd Mr.. Jones, the dead wo-
mans husband, stated to the doctor
that she had gotten up two or three
times after retiring. going to the
bureau. Death occurred few minu-
tes after the doctor arrived and he
gave it as his opinion that she died
from strychnine poison.
1t seems that Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
were the only persons in the house
Sunday night. their fourteen-year-old
son being absent on a visit to rela-
tives. Evidence by several witness
es, which is too revolving for publi-
cation, tends to show that Jones's
treatment of his wife for a number
OF years has been brGCal beyond be-
lief.
Mrs. Jones was woman of less
than middle age, and her character
and gentle disposition made her
many friends. Her sad death arous-
es great sympathy and no little in
dignation and suspicion.

ACCUSED OF POISONING WIFE
w. T. Jones, of Union County, Charg
ed With Murder.

w. L. Jones. of Santuc, whose wife
died suddenly last Sunday night, was
arrested Thursday and lodged in
jail under q warrant charging him
with administering or causing to be
administered strychnine poison to
Marion Jones, thereby causing her
death. The warrant was sworn out
Thursday morning by j. Roy FAINT.
cousin of the deceased, and was
issued by Magistrate Vinson.
1t will be recalled that the jury
of inquest returned a verdict that
Mrs. Jones came to her death from
the effect of strychine administered
by parties unknown to the jury.
Jones is large land owner and a
progressive farmer, but il is alleged
that he has mistreated his wife for
years. and this together with the cir
cumstances surrounding her death
caused suspicion to be directed
against him and led to his arrest. >

one hoof ragged, as though the shoe
had been torn off. Outside of that
there is apparently no injury. The
