Colonel Lindbergh said that he
didn't think Betty Cow came from
an employment agency. He ex-
planned that his investigation Of
Whately was not extensive.
Gle is dead since the crime? ?
Ayes. I think he died in 1888.
He died in a hospital. He lived
with us seven or eight years.
Colonel Lindbergh said Betty
Cow was recommended to U.S."
Asked if he made any effort tc
check her background, Colonel
Lindbergh replied:
II don't think so, beyond Mrs.
Lindbergh and myself talking to
her."
Colonel Lindbergh said he
didn't know she had a brother
in Canada. He did not know
whether she had any brothers.
He had heard she had two
brothers.

JONES' THREAT
PLEA FAILS

FINCASTLE, Va, Jan. 4.-No
spectre of lynching mob was by
Phillip Jones' side when he admit
ted in Roanoke and Richmond the
assault and Staying of Alice Hill.
13-year-old white girl, Judge Ben
Haden decided in Botetourt
county circuit court today.
The colored mans confession
was given place in the web of evil
dence which the commonwealth
hopes to finish tonight.
The prosecution called five po'
lice officials today to deny De-
tense Counsel T. Warren Messick's
argument that Jones risked con-
fession and the electric chair
rather than "be tied to an auto
mobile and dragged back to Cliff
ton Forge"
Judge Haden, admitting the
Richmond written confession as
evidence, said:
"Of course he was frightened.
would be, too. But, If he were
terrified, isn't it logical that he
would try to clear rather than
enmeSh himSelf?"
In statements made by Jones in
the past six weeks, since Alice Hill
and her sister, Ellen, 9, were found
brutally beaten to death near his
hut on the outskirts of Clifton
Forge, Arthur Smith, a colored
fs1end, was at one time implicated
and is due to appear as a States
witness.
Police say Jones later got down
on his knees, begged Smiths for
giveness.
Jones again maintains, the de-
fense is ready to contend, that he
did not kill Alice. A white man
was responsible, he says.
Praise of Judge Haden's conduct
of the trial was expressed today
by ]. Brown Hopkins, Richmond
representative of the Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. He said:
Philip Jones Is getting q
mighty fair trial indeed"
