WIDOWS SLAYER SILENT.
Young Woman Who Killed Nashville
Beauty Refuses to Talk.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 15.-A day in
custody did not operate to unseal the
lips of Mrs. Leola Hooper Jones, aged
"a, who last night shot and almost in
stantly killed Mrs. Alva Cave, aged
80, widow of Steve Cave, son of the
venerable Rev. R. Lin Cave, of Nash
vile, who is the chaplain general OF
the United Confederate veterans. Mrs.
Jones appeared in the city court this
afternoon accompanied by her father
and by her attorney and formally
waived examination. She was bound
over to the criminal court on charge
of murder. Judge Levin, who was on
the city court bench, acting temporari-
ly for Judge Killen, would not under
take the responsibility of fixing bond,
and Mrs. Jones was sent to Jail. 1t is
expected bond will be fixed tomorrow
morning.
In court Mrs. Jones appeared cool
and collected.
Jealousy is generally accepted as the
prompting cause of the tragedy.
The tragedy occurred last night,
Mrs. Jones going to the home of Mrs.
Cave and shooting her twice, one ball
entering the heart. The wounded wo-
men died in few minutes. Mrs. Jones
was arrested en- route to the police sta
tion to surrender.
Yrs. Jones some time since, filed suit
:. absolute divorce and is said to
>s--e been living apart from her hus-
band.
Mrs Caves husband died about two
years ago and at the time of the shoot
ing she and her two children, girl
of 5 and a boy of 2, were making their
home with her mother, Mrs. Sophia
Leinhos. Mrs. Cave was noted for her
beauty.

STATEMENT FROM COL. HUNT.
He Gives His Connection With the
Pardon of Taylor, Referred to by
Gov. Blease at NeWberry.

UOEs OIcdSc al NOhUcIIys
Editor The Herald and News:In ref
erence to Gov. Blease's allusion to the
Noah Taylor case in his speech here on
the 18th inst, which is quoted in The
Herald and News as follows:
when Noah Taylor was in the peni-
tentiary for wife murder" he said,
Mrs, Taylor went to Walter Hunt" ="
and he said $1,000 was put in the bank
which was to be given to Mr.. Hunt in
case he secured a pardon for Taylor.
Hayward was then governor. Taylor
was pardoned, and Col. Hunt and Col.
Schumpert, said Gov. p ase, got their
$1,000. "Now, why didn't they come
out and say Hayward was bought? No,
ne, that was Mr.. Hunt. That happen
ed in your own county, but if a lawyer
goes to work and gets up a petition
for pardon before me and l let the
man out some little ram-sniffle goes
off with lie and says l was paid so
much. Walter Hunt didn't pay Hey
ward anything. He had right to his
81, 900 and he got it. This is the same
thing, 1 suppose, that has been going
on with me, but instead of. giving me
an honest deal and fair mention in
the matter they go to work and say,
He is pardoning too many people"
In order that incorrect inference may
not be drawn from this statement, l
will give you brief history of the
case. In 1899 Noah Taylor was indict-
ed for murder. He was defended by
the late Col. o. L. Schu4npert and my
firm. He was convicted of murder
with recommendation to mercy and
sentenced to life Imprisonment. We
appealed to the supreme court, and
the judgment of the circuit court was
affirmed. After this and before D. c.
Hayward was elected governor, Tay-
lor's parents employed Messrs. Schum-
pert & Holloway and my firm
to apply for pardon, and placed
a thousand dollars in the hands of DR..
James Mcintosh, president of the New
berry Savings bank, to be turned over
to the two firms when we succeeded.
l remember distinctly that We ap
peared before Gov. McSweeney twice
and on the last occasion he stated that
he was very much impressed and was
inclined to grant the pardon, but he
would like to hear from the jurors.
The jurors were scattered and one
OF two of them we were never able to
find. AS Gov. McSweeney's term was
drawing to close we were pressed for
time and on the day before he vacated
the office Mr.. Holloway, Col. Schum-
perts partner, and a member of my
firm went in the county to see some OF
the jurors, and that night they mailed
the petition of the jurors to Col.
Schumpert and myself in Columbia.
We received the papers about 1870
O'Clock of the day on which Gov. Nc
Sweeney vacated the Office. AS soon
as we received the papers We called on
Gov. McSweeney, but he said he had
closed up all his business with the
office and had nothing to do but turn
it over to Gov Hayward, and that he
could not then consider the case.
When it became necessary to pre-
sent the petition to Gov. Hayward, I
stated to Col. Schumpert that as l had
been an earnest supporter of Hayward

The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1912-09-27

see what this will mean. IL Roosevelt
carries more states than Taft, the two
parties after the election will be the
Roosevelt party and the Democratic
party. The Republicans will go the
way of the Whig and other organiza-
tions that have passed away during
our political history.
The chief interest in the election
is not as to who will be elected Presi.
dent, for 1t is conceded by all well
posted men that the election of Will
son is practically sure. The chief in
terest is whether Roosevelt will get
more votes than Taft. This he will,
in my opinion, do.
'ln Missouri the Democrats have a
strong and progressive state ticket
and Wilson will carry the state by u.s..
900 to 100000 plurality. Roosevelt is
strong there, but five-sixths of his
votes there and in other states will be
drawn from the Republican party
