He also said that he had told Macdonald of the conversation that Jones had had with Olson, and told him to look out for Jones be cause he is getting completely 'nutty. "
 He said taht everybody over at Douglas knew that Jones was getting 'nutty."
 Peter S. Early, the we'll known Yan- kee Cove mining man, testified that Jones had, in a conversation with him early in May, just a few days before the shooting, said Macdonald had agreed to give an answer to his de- mand that the mines be closed on Sun day within a few days, and "if he (MacDonald) didn't close it down, the Lord had told him (Jones) to put Mac Donald out of the way-to kill him." Early said he thought that Jones was crazy and he called Macdonald up on the telephone and told him of the conversation he had had with Jones. He testified that Jones was about 40 years of age, big physically, near six feet in height and weighing more than 200 pounds.
 Jones Ordained to Stop Sunday Work.
 John Mohr, foreman of the Ready Bullion mine, testified that Jones had worked for him a week in the mine in May just before the tragedy that resulted in his death, and that when he came for his pay, after having quit, he said that the Lord had ordained him to put a stop to Sunday work, and there might "be the shedding of blood, but without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sins"
 Mark McKanna, who was night watchman at the Treadwell store, tes- tifed that Jones had called at the store to see Macdonald about closing the mines on Sundays a few days be- fore the shooting, and that he had gun, and said if Macdonald did not close the mines he would kill him. He said that Macdonald tried to avoid Jones at that time. He was in the of flee when Jones called, and he had the lights turned out, and went out the back door and went home so as to avoid meeting Jones.
 w. S. Staley, deputy marshal at Ju- neau at the time of the Treadwell tragedy, testified that Jones told him as early as October, 1901, that he would get that man Macdonald yet, and would kill him." He said that Jones told him that he carried gun, usually in his hip pocket.
 Tom Noonan, who was foreman of the Treadwell mine in 1902, said that Jones had called on him in the mine repair shop, and had said that if these mines are not closed on Sunday 'I will kill Macdonald" He said that Jones followed up this statement with the declaration 'I am prepared to do as the Lord will direct me" and reached for a gun that was sticking out of his pocket.
 Minister Was ApprehensiVe.
 Rev. William Davies, pastor of the Congregational church at Treadwell at the time of the killing of Jones, tes- tified that Jones was a member of his congregation and teacher in his Sun day School, and that he had told him on the Saturday preceding the Tues day morning when he was killed that he was going to make one more de- mand on Macdonald that he close his mines on Sundays. Jones' manner was such that Davies was filled with apprehension for fear that something would happen if he should go to see Macdonald again, and he tried to dis suade him from doing it, and asked others to intercede. He was so clear ly satisfied that Jones was crazy, that he told his wife not to talk to him about religious matters at all. He said that Jones made no threats as to what he would do, but he was ap- prehensive on account of his peculiar manner.
 Antone Marks, the discoverer of the Treadwell mine, testified that he saw Jones on the morning of the tragedy, and the latter told him that he was going up to close the mines on Sun days" Jones said that the matter had ito be settled today" He said that Jones looked wild and crazy.
 S. Town, an employee in the Tread well blacksmith shop, also testified that he saw Jones on the morning of the shooting, and that he was looking for Macdonald. He was excited and wild looking. He talked to Town and said that the mines had to be closed on Sunday. The Lord had directed him to close the mine, and, speaking of Macdonald, eff he does not do what want him to I'll make him wish he had"
