DAUGHTER'S SHAME
MADE FATHER INSANE
John Jones Became So Dangerous lie
Had to Be Placed Under Restraint.
HIS WIFE CAUSED HIS ARREST
Unfortunate Jinn Und n Kovolvor and
Su-oro Ho Would Kill tlio Man Who
I.cd Ills Daughter Astrnv-Uo Is
Now Confined In tlio Control t'ollco
Station nnd tlio Girl Is In the
County Jnil ns nn Incorrigible
John Jones, G5 years old, Is in the
central police station a ravlnp mani
ac. Up In Dickson City there is a
small cosy dwelling. The table In tho
dlnjng room is spread reudy but tho
bread Is dry and hard, the milk Is
curdled In the pitcher and tho only
living thing in what was once a home
Is a mewing cat, moving restlessly
from omptv room tn empty room look
ing for a friend.
And in the county jail is a 10-year-old
git I, Klvlrn.daughler of th'o maniac
in the police station and of the woman
who caused her husband's Imprison
ment because she feared "tilt; revolver
he carried.
That revolver was meant for the man
who betrayed the daughter and led her,
down thu road to ruin.
Elvira Jones is young and pretty. Up
to a year ago she was the pride of
tho Dickson City home. A younger
brother, 17 yents old, worshipped her,
a married sister welcomed Elvira at her
home In West Brranton, and Mr. and
Mrs. Jones were n father and 11 moth
er In all whlci that means.
But in December, JS97, Elvira Jones
met a man fiom this cltv. He, if tho
suspicions of tho police authorities are
correct, Is a married man. Irving with
his family. The young girl's downfall
began hero. A month's waywardness
and she was taken back Home: tnree
weeks ago she again disappeared and
last Tuesday John Jones, tho father,
went before Alderman W. S. Millar,
of the Eighth wanl, and swore out a
warrant for his daughters nrrest on
tho charge of incorrigibility.
THE GIRL AKUrcSTED.
Patrolman Dy found the girl on the
street at a late hour and she was lock
ed in the police station This story
lias bejn told before in tho papers El
vira Jones was sent to the countv Jail
Wednesday because her father, who
appeared against her, wished It. Now
comes the climax.
Yesterday Mrs. Jones, the mother
signed her name to information against
her husband. The charge was threats,
for want of a better name. She stated
that since her daughter was put in Jail
John Jones had been dangerously de
mented. Wednesday morning after tho
hearing ho purchased u revolver and
a box of cartridges and went home.
Reaching there the mother and son
were waiting with the table spread
for dinner. Jones eiitered.he would not
eat but went to bed. Soon afterward
ho came down stairs. "I cannot sleep,"
he cried wildly; "I cannot sleep until
I send that man to his last leep."
Ho had the revolver In his hand. As
he spoke, Jones raised the weapon and
ilred. Tho bullet passed between
mother und eon and shattered a pic
ture on the wall. Then he continued
tiring until the revolver was empty.
Mrs. Jones left tho house and her son
followed to the home of the married
sister in West Scranton. Yesterday
morning she decided to have her hus
band arrested.
Detective Will Clifford took the war
rant und with the young son went to
Dickson City. They found the house
empty and the doors unlocked. All
through the dwelling the marks of
Jones' violence could be seen. The
walls are punctured In a half hundred
places with bullet holes. An outhouse
is also marked by the revolver. The
table was as It had been left. Chairs
were broken, window panes smashed.
Hut Jones had disappeared.
BENT ON MURDER.
The man was located In North Scran
ton, and was coaxed to Alderman Mil
lar's olllce. Here he was like a raging
bull. He swore again and again that
he would kill his daughter's betrayer.
"It will cost the county nothing; I will
kill him and then myself," he said.
By strategy the revolver, a 32-callbre
weapon, was taken from the man and
he was locked in the police station un
til he either culms for a hearing on thu
charge of threats or is committed to
an asylum. Jones is grey haired and
naturally of a gentle disposition.

BRILL BRINGS SUIT.
Says the City Is Indebted to lllra tor
Working on Sunday The Claim
Is Approved.
John Prill, formerly employed hy
the city as one of the foremen in the
street cleaning department, brought
n civil action before Alderman George
F. Kellow, of the Fourteenth ward,
yesterday afternoon, to recover $29.23
which Brill says Is owing to htm for
labor done. Tho question at lssuo Is:
Did John Brill work Sundays?
Street Commissioner A. B. Dunning,
who was made defendant Tn the suit,
thinks that Brill did not work Sun
days. So firmly was the street com
missioner in his opinion that ho struck
off the Sunday accounts In the time
bill sent in by Brill. But the street
commlmssloner possibly made a mis
take, although City Solicitor McGlnley
does not think so. Nevertheless, Judg
ment was awarded to Brill for the full
amount at the hearing yesterday.
Alderman Kellow, however, qualified
his decision with' the remark. "We'll
leave the higher courts to look into
the case." An appeal will be taken.
As the story was told before Alder
man Kellow Brill was employed to look
after a gang of men at $2.25 per day.
He sent In his time accounts for June
and July Including eight of tho nine
Sundays upon which he worked. The
street commissioner passed upon the
bills. He stated yesterday that he did
not detect the matter and In due time
Brill was paid for the Sundays.
Street Commissioner Dunnlng.ln fact,
was not the original discoverer of the
"mistake." It was City Clerk Martin
Lavello who, when Brill sent in his
acccount for August, noticed that the
Ave Sundays were counted and the
matter was then called to the atten
tion of the stieet commissioner. Mr.
Dunning said the time was excessive
and the live Sundays were wiped off
the 1)111.
Street Commissioner Dunning did
more than this. Ho looked over Brill's
accounts for June and July and dis
covered that for eight of the nine Sun
days In these months Brill had been
paid. This, the street commissioner
pronounced, an error which had es
caped his notice. To rectify it the
street commissioner deducted thirteen
days' time from Brill's August ac
count and when Brill made his ap
pearance on pay day h'o found $29.2,"!
less than what he expected to re
ceive. ,
Then he brought the civil action. At
the hearing Assistant City Solicitor M.
J. Walsh reprasented the city. Brill
handled his own case. In his testi
mony he briefly stated he worked thir
teen days for the city for which he
wanted pay On examination he said
ho didn't know whether ,or not he
worked Sundays In the month of May,
neither did he know when he began to
got city pay. He was pressed by At
torney Walsh to say something about
May. "It will bring up fond recollec
tions," suggested tho attorney. "Yes,"
remarked Brill, "recollections that I
don't care to revive."
"How many Sundays did you work
in June'"
"How many are there?" retorted
15111. ' I counted them all fo that I
could make no mistake."
In this manner the examination was
carried on, Brill skirting about In a
somewhat clever fashion. "When esked
whether ho was authorized to work
Sundays Brill admitted that he had
no special orders. His time for June
and July were passed and he took thlti
as an indication that ho should con
tinue working. He stated his Sunday
work consisted of looking for barrels
and nuisances.
Commissioner Dunning on the stand
stated that he never authorized Brill to
work on Sundays. Ho had conferred
with tho city solicitor on the matter
and was told that Brill's present claim
wouldn't stand. He wondered why
Brill had misled counting all the Sun
days in July. He left one out. The
hearing was somewhat exciting
throughout.
