WHFlKLiNtJ, W. • Va, Jan. 20.— Forty mien were indicted yesterday on the charge of rio,ting during the late strike at the mills at Bridgeport and Martin\s Ferry, and have arranged for .bail. Twenty-five surrendered to the -Sheriff this mornig, but Indicated thai they had $50,000 .for bail bond purposes. He said he tried to help her; he quit work to care for her; 'Mrs. Jones got Highly spells and would ask for Minnie when Minnie was In her presence.In answer to questions by the attorneys for the defense, Mr. Jones, after having answered the stereotyped questions of identification, said that he had bought a farm near Knoxdale; that he subsequently worked and gave his wages to the support of the family; that he objected to his daughter keeping company with every fellow, especially an Italian; that Minnie attended school at Harriger's schoolhouse; that .he fot Minnie and his wife plenty of comfortable clothes; that he and Mrs. Jones and Minnie attended church at the Saints' Church, when there were big meeting", etc.; that he provided as best he could for his family, kept a cow, etc., used some of the milk for the ifamily, sold some antl gave the proceeds for the family's use; that the last fall he lived there his wife was sick; that her Hist 111- nesb' was a chill; that she throwod up; that he culled In Dr. Ktiner; that he gave his wife some medicine; that she refused then to take it. Then he did know what to do for a while; finally he called Dr. Scott, 'but she would not take his medlcen either. He said that his wife, while lying IU. told those who called there that he had hit her, tout he denied that he had ever struck her with anything. He said that his wife had fallen and hurt her hand so that she could not work; he did the ehoring; he also The defendant so maintains In face of such evidence Riven by Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Stiaffer, Mr. Knlcely, the neighbor women, who had it from Mrs. J.Ones in the presence of Mr. Jones, that he was brutal to her when they were out of sight, her brotherin-Iaw, Eilenberger, his parents, who left Mrs. Jones alone, believing that she would die in un hour, not to speak ol' the testimony of the daughter, who stated under oath that her father struck her mother so often that she could not remember the number of times, and that one ol those blows killed her. Those who observed the demeanor of the father and daughter while testifying, among whom was a representative of The Spirit, will have firm convictions on the subject of which one was telling the truth, but those convictions will be tts conflicting as the convictions of those who base their conclusions on what they have heard and read, simply because it is human for human beings to differ, although their opinions they form are derived from seeing and hearing the same «et of facts. William Jones, the deefiulant, was called to the stand at 3:40 p. m., Wednesday.Yesterday afternoon the time of the Court was taken up largely in hearing the testimony of the defendant, whose every material statement Is at variance with those of his daughter, Minnie, the prosecutor. It is possible, but almost inconceivable, that a girl years old could invent, with her father as the villain, a story so brutal in detail as the one which Minnie Jones, now Mrs. Bert Kunselman, told on the stand last Tuesday. Yet in his testimony yesterday afternoon William Jones denied in every material instance that he had ever abused his wife, that the late Mis. Jones was a good, kind, obedient woman; that a few days before her death she became converted, and that she died happy. When the case of the Commonwealth vs. William Jones, charged with murder, goes to the jury, which probably will be lulu thi» aft; rnoon, the crowds that have tor en listening intently to the evidence in the court house at .Brookvllie since Monday, and the jurymen .who will weigh the testimony will probably lind themselves still in douibt as to what words they should employ in framing a verdict.■V ' rm JORI IN GERMANY Ilk Zoitlcr, wid Jurfi' Wi11 iWin ZHtU'r. «»i Yoi ship, din] Vpstortlay mornln o'clock ai tw honn-15.
