CASE OF SUICIDE
Jones Appeared to Be in Good Spirits
Shortly Before Taking Fatal Leap;
Unfortunate Love Affair
Suggested

Funeral services for Nat Jones, who
met instant death yesterday morning
by jumping from the ninth story Of an
Oklahoma City building, are being
conducted this afternoon at four
o'clock at the residence of A. Hor-
ton. 90l South Third street, by Rev.

ceased, and Miss Reed, both OF Ard
more, are in the city for the funeral.
Undertaken Sid Anderson, aecompa-
MED By Tom Boyd and Paul Spinning,
returned last night from Oklahoma
City bringing, home the mangled re-
mains.
Theories were advanced today that
possibly Jones did not commit suicide
but wished to get out of his room and
was not familiar with the surround
ings. Detective Mike Conners, who
was laughing and joking with him
only thirty minutes before the fatal
leap, stated that he appeared normal
and not at all respondent
DR.. Edgington, under whose treat
ment Jones was, does not agree with
this view, however He suggests that
the young mans motive for suicide
may have been an unfortunate love
affair and says that Jones had inti-
mated that he was unhappy for some
such reason
MAI Jones was the son Of Mrs. Pate
Jones of near Lucille, and grandson
Of Wilson T. Jones, former governor
Of the Choctaw tribe.
