KILLED SON
THEN SELF
Prominent Nashville Publisher
Was Thought To Have Been
Insane.
(By Associated Press.)

Nashville, Jan. S.-P. B. Jones, pres
ident and general manager of the
Southwestern Company, publishers,
prominent in the Baptist church as
well as in his business circles, shot
and killed his 5-year-old son, Jerry,
and then committee suicide here yes
terday afternoon about o'clock at
his home on Hayes street No one
witnessed the deed, and it is thought
by the family that Mr.. Jones was tenn
porarily unbalanced mentally. 1t is
said that he had been complaining of
feeling i'll for several days. He leaves
a widow and two other children. and
it is said that his wife, uneasy over
his condition, had recently kept close
watch over him.
Yesterday afternoon she was called
from his presence for a short while
leaving her son and a niece with him.
Mr.. Jones at once sent the girl out
on an errand and she had hardly left
the room when two shots were heard
from that direction. Rushing to the
spot, Mrs. Jones found her husband
and child dead. Under the soap dish
on the water stand seven letters we're
found, written in Mr.. Jones' hand
writing, and addressed to various
members Of his family and to his
secretary. One of the notes was to
an uncle in Texas. Mr.. Jones, it is
said, formerly lived in Waco, Texas,
and was a native of Virginia. His
wife, it is said, is native of Cleburne,
Texas.

that some Of them would be induced
to withdraw from the race and throw
their influence to one Of the leaders,
which would probably materially

vidually in addition to the indictment
returned against the association as
such. A fine or Imprisonment may
be imposed on conviction.
This Indictment is but one of the
many ramifications of the investiga-
.tions the government instituted against
paper manufacturers. The convic.
ton of Parks brought about the dis
solution of the fibre and manila asso-
citation, whose members were fined
$4,000 each, and the action against
the Paper Board Association is fol-
lowing similar lines. A third pro-
ceeding, directed against the news
print manufactul ers, is now before
the grand jury.
Ninety Of the defendants named in
the indictments were represented in
court. and on behalf of plea of not
guilty was entered with permission to
