Herman Lo ilJ Roy Jones was nearly crazed with grief last nlsht when the will made by hlo wife was found.

A document which bore upon the case with particular force, however, was a letter from the firm of William Hawley & Co., stockbrokers at No. 23 Broad street. By this It was shown that Mrs. Jones had been endeavoring to dispose of some mining stocks In her possession. Whether or not the transaction was ever conipleted is not known.

Moreover she had in her possession a gold locket set with three diamonds worth at least 5250 and wore about her neck a lace collar valued at $125. |
