WOMAN IN THE CASE
MAKES CONFESSION
C. L. Jones Shot Down Jessie L.
Pace, Using a Shot Gun and a Pis-
toI-Tragedy in a Store and Causes
a Big Sensation.

CLEVELAND, Miss, May 10.-Jes-
sic Pace, junior member of the firm
of J. H. Pace & Son, of Arnold, Miss,
was shot and instantly killed by Char
ley Jones, of Rosedale, at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning.
According to witnesses, Pace was
in his store when Jones drove up in
a buggy, got out and deliberately
walked in the store, and with the
words You have ruined my home,
fired twice with a double-barreled
shotgun, botn shots taking effect. Pace
ran out the back door and fell, fol
lowed by Jones, who fired three shots
from his pistol into the body of the
PROSTATE man. Jones then walked out
to his buggy, got in, and drove, off
before the startled crowd could com
prehend what had happened. Mr.. Pace
leaves his father, with whom he was
associated in business, his wife and
two baby girls. He has always borne
a good reputation and was prominent
in business circles.
Jones is in the Rosedale Jail, but
will be removed here tomorrow. Cir
cult court convened today and the
grand jury will very likely consider
the case at once. Jones claims to be
in possession of letters, said to have
been written by Pace to Mrs. Jones
which We're of such nature as tC
call for desperate action.

to ecape than to work so he took what
is called French leave. Marshal Slade
located his man and went after him
and was on his way back to Lumberton
with Hood when he appeared at police
headquarters. Lodging was found for
Hood until the o'clock south bound
train this morning.
Before sending Hood to bed, Night
Sergeant Sexton suggested that Hood
be searched. Hood was slow in telling
what he had on him, but it was found

feeling around struck a hard lump of
something and asked Hood what it

and Marshal Slade squeezed out $3.50
