Murder and robbery linked to released prisoner Jones
An account describes a murder near Westfield and Russsel on a Thursday forenoon. The killer, Jones, had just been freed from the penitentiaries and began a spree of thefts, robbing a store, churches, and a hotel, then fleeing with valuables and disguises. The piece emphasizes his repeated stealing, praying, and exhorting before a long prison term likely ending his career.
