Accused of Murder Iowa Man Kills Self
Muscatine Iowa Mar 11 Urry Jones on trial for the murder of Mr and Mrs Van Winkle committed suicide in the county jail by hanging himself. The case followed a brutal attack as Jones allegedly entered the couple’s room while they slept and beat both to death with a club. Jones, whose real name may be Frank Beatty, had been brought back from Milan Kansas for trial after a prior indictment for the murder of his wife in Pennsylvania years earlier. He left no note or motive in his cell and was found dead after breakfast, the rope fashioned from clothing and bedclothes. The death appears premeditated and curiosity gripped the town amid shock over Iowa’s revolting murder case.
