JONES LOST BIG MONEY.
Story That the Union Wife Murderer
Has Been Unsuccessful In Specu!a
fiop

tion.
An interesting story comes out Of
Spartanhurg about W. r.. Jones'. the
trncr for the murder of his wife.
The following is the story from
Spartanhurg about Jones:
1T was learned recently that Jones
800. 900 through speculation i'm cotton
and wheat. He has appointed the
Nicholson Trust company of Union
trustee of his estate. and instructed
the company To pay his debts out Of
the income of his plantations.
Jones owns about 5000 acres Of
land. 5000 acres being contained in a
single plantation. The annual income
from this property varies from $4,000
to $4,000. it is said.
according to Spartanhurg friends,
Jones turned to speculation i'm an cf-
fort not only To- recover the attorneys
fees and other expenses Of his trial
and appeals to the supreme court, but
also to divert his mind from his trou-
bic. Al first, it is said, he was sue
cessful. but later the tide turned and
he sustained heavy losses.
Jones has been confined in the
Union county Jail since tn" death Of
his wife ON the night of July 1. 1908.
He has enjoyed many privileges. it is
said. and in the early part of his i'm
prisonment drank heavily. His mark
ct operations were conducted from his
cell.
The supreme court recently DIS
missed Jones last appeal and Cover
nor BleaSe refused to grant petition
for his pardon. signed by $500 people.
Jones is now ! years old. He is
said To- lie a tall. handsome man and
is well educated. He attended the
University of South Carolina and Da-
wilson College. y. c.. but did not
graduate from either.
Because of his wealth and promi-
nenCe. as well as the cold d-bloodedness
of the crime, his case and his long
fight have aroused much interest. -
