WIDOW'S DEFENSE INSLAYING BEGUN Mrs. J. A. Jones Starts Fight Against Testimony of Her Son. B the Assoctated Press. AMELIA COURT HOUSE, Va, Au- gust 31.—The defense today was to present its version of circumstances which have brought Mrs. Jeston Allen Jones into County Circuit Court here charged with the murder of her hus- band, J. Will Jones, Amelia County farmer. Completion of the case, started early last week, is expected to require several more days. Evidence to be combated in- | cludes that of Robert Jones, 24, son of the defendant and the slain man, who Friday and Saturday testified that Mrs. Jones had threatened the life of her husband, suggested that he kill his father and then had told him that she had arranged to have the deed done| by Richard Lee, Negro farm hand. Under Long Sentence. Lee is now under a 20-year sentence for the slaying of Jones. Indictment of Mrs. Jones and Oscar Jones, another son, followed his conviction. Still another member of the family was involved in the web of criminal charges on Saturday when Robert Jones testified that while keeping a tryst with county officers and arranging to appear as a witness for the State hel had been shot at by a person he be- lieved to be his younger brother, Porter Jones. Letters Introduced. ‘The defense has introduced letters | written by Robert Jones in which he | denled the truth of the charges pre-; viously made against his mother in the statement of county officers, and also has sought to show that he is moved by financial considerations in appear- ing as a witness against members of his own family. Another defense victory was scored when Lee, under cross-examination, broke down and repudiated a ccnfession that he had slain the dairyman after Mn‘d Jones had offered him a $25 re- ward. LIBRARIAN SCHOOL PROFESSOR NAMED Dr. E. G. Swem Will Have Charge of New Course at William | and Mary. By the Associated Press. WILLIAMSBURG, Va. August 31— Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, president of the College of William and Mary, an- nounced today that the new college training school for school librarians will be under the general direction of Dr. E. G. Swem, assisted by a professor and an associated professor of library science. ! Prospect for a large enrcllment in the courses of the new schoal is en- couraging, Dr. Chandler said, (‘om-l menting on the interest that has been | shown. The new library training school has been made possible through recogni- tion of the need of well trained school | librarians, by the General Education | Board of New York, and the subsequent gift of $34,000 to Willlam and Mary for the establishment of library science courses. Policies requiring that high schools must enlarge their libraries, and em- ploy trained librarians recently were adopted by the Virginia State Board of Education, paralleling similar re- quirements adopted by the Southern Association of Schools and Colicges.
