CHARLES F, JONES
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Alleged to Have Confessed
Then Cut His Throat.
OFFICIALS ARE SILENT
They Refuse to Affirm or Deny the
Alleged Confession—Counsel For the
Accused Denounces the Methods
Used For Extorting the Statement.
New York, Nov. I. Charles F.
Jones, secretary and valet to the late
William Marsh Rice, whose death oc
curred under suspicious circumstances,
attempted to commit suicide in the
Tombs at 4 o’clock this morning by cut
ting his throat. He was removed to
Bellevue hospital.
Jones was under examination in the
criminal court building yesterday by
Assistant District Attorney Osborne and
several detectives and it was reported
that he had made some sort of a state
ment or confession to the authorities.
Jones was found in his cell at 4
o’clock. He was almost unconscious
from the loss of blood. He had inflicted
several cuts in his neck and had severed
the jugular vein on the right side. He
used a small but very keen penknife.
The surgeons at Bellevue hospital said
that Jones would recover.
When District Attorney Gardiner
reached his office today he was informed
that Jones had attempted to commit
suicide. Colonel Gardiner was asked
whether it was true Jones had made a
confession to detectives and Assistant
District Attorney Osborne yesterday,
but he refused to talk on this subject,
saying he had nothing to give out.
Detective Captain McCluskey refused
to say anything about the alleged con
fession made by Jones last evening.
The Evening World says that during
the questioning of Jones last night part
of the talk was’so loud that it was audi
ble to tho reporters in the corridor. Ac
cording to The Evening World Assist
ant District Attorney Osborne, the mo
ment Jones was brought before him,
demanded to know if the prisoner had
thought over his proposition.
“I have,” Jones was heard to respond.
“You give me a guarantee in writing
that I shall be granted immunity and I
will talk. Unless you do that I will not
open my mouth.”
Then there was silence. Jones’ voice
was again heard. It sounded as though
ho was dictating a statement.
It was more than two hours later
when the door leading to Mr. Osborne’s
office was opened. The keeper was sum
moned.
“We are through with Jones,” said
Mr. Osborne, “you may take him back
to the Tombs. ’ ’
Captain McCluskey was asked if Jones
had confessed and he replied:
“I have nothing to say, but you may
observe that I am all smiles.”
Mr. House, Jones’ attorney, was very
free in his denunciation of tho course of
the assistant district attorney in sub
jecting Jones to a “sweat box” exami
nation in tho presence of Colonel Baker,
an interested party to the prosecution,
and while Jones’ own counsel was ab
sent. He said if Jones died his death
would make tho assistant district attor
ney a murderer.
BLEW HIS OWN BRAINS OUT.
Policeman Redd of Augusta, Despond
tent, Commits Suicide.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. I.—David Reed, a
member of the police force, placed his
pistol to his templo and blew out his
brains. Redd was fast becoming a
physical wreck from consumption. He
has been very despondent for the past
few days, and when he wont to report
for duty he broke down and returned
home. He told his aged mother that he
was going to kill himself. She expos
tulated with him, and succeeded, she
thought, in quieting him and dissuading
him from the rash act.
His mother left tho room for some
purpose and a moment later heard a
pistol shot. Rushing back, she was
horrified to find her son with a powder
stained hole in his right temple and the
bed covered with blood. The bullet
passed entirely through his head and
came out back of the ear.
Legislators Attend the Fair.
Atlanta, Nov. I.—There was no ses
sion of the legislature today. A recess
was taken yesterday in order to allow
the members to attend the state fair in
progress at Valdosta. The members
left here in a body on an early train,
spending the entire day there.
Died From His injuries.
New York, Nov. I.—Joseph Bach*
earach, a merchant who was injured in
the Tarrant explosion Monday, died to
day. He was internally injured, had
his head cut by glass and the tendons ol
his right arm were severed.

EARTHQUAKE IN FLORIDA.
Eight Distlct Shocks Felt at Jackson
ville—No Damage Done.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. I.—Eight
distinct earthquake shocks were felt in
Jacksonville yesterday. The first shock
was at 11:10 o’clock in the morning and
shook some of the large buildings of the
city. At 11:25 o’clock another shock,
equally as severe, was felt and they con
tinued at 15-minute intervals until 12:80
o’clock.
At 4:04 o’clock in the afternoon the
seventh shock of the day was felt, se
verer than any of the preceding ones,
followed four minutes later by a report
and shock, the severest of the day.
The local weather bureau officials real
ized the nature of tho shocks at the first
and kept the time. Director Mitchell of
this department could not say officially,
as he had no instrument to determine
the matter, but stated it as his opinion
that the vibrations passed from south t<
north. There was no disturbance in the
water noticeable and the shocks were
not severe enough to cause any damage.

ing when the absorption of so much Os

ceived aboard in clean ana disinfected
sacks furnished by the postofflce au

At Honolulu the mail will be taken in
these sacks directly to a room in the
postofflce used for disinfection purposes
and disinfected with formaldehyde
without removal from the sacks in which
it is received on the steamer from the
leper settlement. The letters are per
forated or the corners clipped at the set
tlement before disinfection.
No case of leprosy, the surgeon re
