Charles Jones, a Negro, of New
London, Conn, held in the Kent
County Jail at Dover, is suffering
from bullet wounds in his feet
which police authorities say link
him with the attempted entry of
the home of Charles Ford, of Clay
ton. Jones was arrested in Sea-
ford Thursday evening by State
Police. The police found he was
suffering from wounds in the feet.
He is alleged to have admitted his
guilt to the police. Mr.. Ford was
awakened by a noise and upon
going downstairs to investigate
spied a Negro eating apple sauce
in the kitchen. The Negro at once
turned and fled, but Mr.. Ford
quickly fired three shots from his
revolver at the fleeing mans feet.
Ford reported the matter to the
police. The Negro, after his ar
rest at Seaford, was taken to
Smyrna and then to the jail at Do
yer by Constable John Stats.
