Red Oak, Dec. 5.-Senator r. f. Jones.
of Villisca, whom J. n. Wilkerson.
Burns detective, has charged with COM
plicity in the villisca AK murders of
1912, took the witness stand in his own
behalf at 11:O5 o'clock this morning.
Little more than preliminary exam
ination of the senator had been com
pleted at noon and he had just entered
upon a denial of allegations of the de-
fense when adjournment was taken.
The preliminary questions Of his ex-
animal tion dealt with his business OPP
erations since he became resident OF
Villisca thirty-six years ago, tracing
his life from hardware clerk to owner
of the Jones store and president of the
Villisca National Bank. His Official
life was also inquired into, the senator
having served two terms in the lower
house and one term In the upper house
at Des Moines. Senator. Jones said he
had been affiliated with the Methodist
church for forty years and had been
superintendent of the Sunday school
for twenty five years.
Senator Jones admitted he knew
where the slaughter house is east OF
villisca and described by vina TOMB :
kins in her murder plot testimony. He
had been there only once prior to the
beginning Of this suit, he testified, and
that was about twenty years ags.I
Were you there in that field any
place around or near that slaughter
house in the year 1911?'"' he was asked.
"No sir, was not"
Senator Jones further said his whis-
kers and mustache were substantially
lin the same condition now an they have
been for the past eight years. Mrs.
Tompkins testified the man she saw
had whiskers somewhat longer than
those Senator Jones now wears.
. Senator Jones denied he. knew JaRe
Weems, identified by Mrs. Tompkins
in the slaughter house.
Books Show MecauIl Auto Sale.
John Palmauist clerk in the Jones
store In yillisca, on the stand this
morning, read from the cash sales
sheet Of f>the store for June %, 1912,
showing . credit for w. B. McCau.l
for an automobile at $500. A dupH-
cate certificate of deposit made by the
Jones store WAS also offered in evil
dence showing certificate Of deposit
for $3.50 and q nole for $3.50 given by
McCaull for the automobile. It has
been alleged that the automobile was
a present to McCaull shortly after the
murder.
Palmquist testified that the con-
gested condition of the shed in the
rear Of the Jones store would have
made it impossible for five men to
stand in the shed.

London. Dec 5.-An article predict
ing the approach of peace negotiations
has appeared in the Berlin Hsseblatt
and is quoted in an Amsterdam dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
Company. The Tageblatt says:
THE moment Is near when a busi-
ness peace will be possible-a peace
which the allies and the central powers
can discuss in view of. the securities
they possess. OF course, those VINO
consider such proposal must not be
allowed to return nome emptyhandeu.
'r,he status quo ante bellum Is impossi-
tle since the independence Of Poland is
proclaimed. but it is remarkable that
the number OF Germans who wish TO
annex Belgium has shrunkf to almost
nothing.
NOD. Sign Of Weakness.
The Tageblatt says the fact that
Germany wants a business peace Is
sign not Of weakness but OF common
sense. The vossische Ieitung also
prints an article discussing the possl-
bllity of peace. 1t says:
Probably Ambassador Gerard is re-
turning to Germany with some peace
proposal" If such is the case, the pa
per adds, America Is an unsuitable me-
diator, and it warns Germany to accept
/ the services Of President Wilson only
as messenger and not as an arbitra-
tor.
