In Washington on October 12 Jones, who once tried to shoot Charles Guiteau amid Garfield’s murder frenzy, stabbed John A. McPherson of Chicago to death at Bates farm near Brookland after a quarrel over a horse. Jones, a former Washington blacksmith, was arrested on murder charges. McPherson died immediately and was sent to the morgue. Jones had earlier shot at Guiteau during the July 1881 Pennsylvania Station incident and was acquitted after a Fredericksburg, Virginia arrest. He later reappeared, married, and settled near the crime scene. The two men reportedly argued over a horse consumption during drink. Jones claims self defense.
