turning last night TO gee his mother,
William Jones, 20 years old, wanted
by the police on n charge of blowing

house was surrounded by policemen.
He greeted his mother affectionately,
then went to his room, drained the
contents of a bottle, turned on the
gas and lay down on bed.
Attracted by the odor Of gas, his
mother investigated. He was uncon-
sciOus, and she ran screaming to the
front door. As she opened 1t to call
for help Detective Mccullough and
several policemen ran in, announcing
that they wanted her son on a burg
larry charge. The mother fell fainting
to the floor, while Jones was hurried
10 the st. Agnes hospital. His condi-
ton is said to be critical.
When the Philadelphia police got a
fugitive warrant for Jones they estab-
l.shed a watch on his mothers home,

They learned on Thursday that he
was in the city and the watch was

Jones reached the neighborhood of his
home about 10 o'clock last night, and

for freedom.
Eluding the police, he entered a
small alley and was soon in the kitch-
en- with his mother.
