IT WILL COME DURING THE
PRESENT GENERATION.

that 1m. eighteen years—over 2.000,000 chil-
dren have conic into our courts. We

"During the hist juvenile generation 3b,-
000 orphans have been created by such
accidents as the Cherry mine disaster*
These conditions appal humanity.
"Widows, forced bread winners, neglect
their children, who congregate in bad com-
ftany. We cannot do away with father-
ess children, but we can take care of
them. Widows should be state charges.
Private charity Is doing what is abso»
lutely the duty of the State."

JONES WRITHES ON FLOOR.
Dr. E. H. Elmendorf took the stand
a tier Mrs. Conley had been excused. He
was the first physician to reach Nat R.
Jones after he was shot. He was sum-
moned soon after the shooting, and prob-
ably reached Jones' side from fifteen to
thirty minutes after the shooting. The
man was not dead at that time, according
to the physician, but was still writhing
on the floor. He was of the opinion that
at that time Jones was conscious of pain,
though unconscious of all else. He de-
scribed the wounds. Two bullets entered
the right arm and passed through it, and
me of them entered the body, lodging

lie said It was possible for Jones' con-
vulsions to have thrown him from tho
chair, and that after he fell to the floor
he might have sufficient strength to turn
over on his back. The physician had not
seen either the razor or the pistol.
C. H. Chambers, the first person to
enter the room aft?r the shooting
occurred, was the next witness. He is
manager of the Parmele-Woe Automo-
bile Company, 217 East Houston Street,
and was at his garage at the time of
the (hooting. He had Just called up
the Ludlow Hotel and had asked to speak
to one of the Misses Conley. While wait-
ing for her to cjine to the telephone the
shots were fired and he heard th« sound.
When Miss Conley responded he asked
if he had better come to tho notel. She
said she would ask her mother. Sho left
the telephone to do so, and on returning
told Mr. Chambers that her mother
thought It best far him to eome. Mr.
Chambers then left his place of ousiness
and went at once to the Ludlow. He
stated that he was the first to enter Mrs.
Jones' room after the shooting. He was
joined almost Immediately by W. F.
Martin.
JONES ON FLOOR.
When they entered the room Jones was
on his back on ;he floor. Ms head rest-
ing in front of the middle of the chair.
He was writhing in pain. Mr. Chambers
was of tho opinion that Jones recognized
him. He spoke to the dying man, who
opened his eyes, but said nothing. Later
he still had sufficient strength to place
his left hand partially under his head.
The witness said he then got a pillow and
placed it under Jones' head. Blood was
gushing from the wounds. Tones did not
turn over, but was writhing about. He
was able to mov? his right arm also.
Mr. Chambers told of the finding of the
razor and the finding of the empty car-
tridge shells and the bullets. The razor,
bp Id witness, was near Jones' left band.
The box was on his right side, Just under
the bed. He picked up lh« razor and gave
it to Assistant City Marshal McCabe,
but did not open it. He also was present
when the empty sholls w«re found. Throe
of the shells were in front of the dresser,
which v/as across the door leading to
th* room occupied by Jones. The fourth
s-hell was in tlr» doorway of the b-ith-
rc.om leading from th-» room of Mrs.
Jones to the room jcc jpled by the Misses
Conley.

entered the center of the forehead and
came out under the left ear. This bullet
inflicted the fatal wound.
When asked by Assistant District At-
torney Chambers as to the probable po-
sition of Jones at the time of the shoot-
ing, the physician stated that he was, in
Ids opinion, undoubtedly seated In the
chair, probably leaning backward with
his head against the back of the chair.
The witness said he arrived at this eon-
clusion from the location of the wounds
of the man and the hole3 'n the back of
the chair.
On cross-examination Attorney C. A.
Davies, for the defense, tried to sHrtw
that the shots might possibly nave been
fired as Jones was rising from the chair.
The physician stated that it was possible
that Jones was rising at the time. He
said that had such been the case that
he would probably have fallen hack into
the chair and that convulsions later
might have caused him to slide out of
the chair onto the floor.
The physician was positive In his opin-
ion that all the bullets had ranged down-
ward and were evidently fired at an angle
, above Jones.
Judge Dwyer's questions later on this
1 same point were to try to establish
whether or not the defendant was stand-
ing at the time of the shooting and JOres
sitting in the chair, it was the opinion
of the witness that Jones was sitting
down, or possibly just getting up. Mrs.
Jones must have been standing, or sitting
on something which would elevate her
above .Tones.
BLOOD FLOWS PROFUSELY.
Questioned in regard to the blood in
the chair, the witness said that the
wounds were such that blood would flow
very rapidly and that the deceased need
net have remained In the ^hair more than
a minute or two for the amount of hlood
found In the chair to have accumulated.
shot so as to strike Jones, the witness
said he did not know.
Mr. Chambers said th«t after the re-
moval of Jones' body that he saw Mrs
Jones, but did not talk :o hcr. She was
sitting in a chair and talking to her little
son. lie did not hear what was said.
At the request of the State's attorney
Chambers left the witness stand and ar-
ranged the chair in whicn Jones was shot
and which was In the court room In
reference to other objects of furniture In
the room and explained tho location of
each.
CORROBORATES CHA MBERS.
W. F. Martin, sales manager for the
San Antonio Drug Company, was the
next witness. H« was a roomer at the
Ludlow H« tel. He stated that he had
seen Jones on the day of the killing. Had
met him on Alamo Plaza about 9 o'clock
at night and that Jones was in a good
humor. When asked If Jones was drunk
witness said he could not say that he
was. He »vas jovial and apparently
happy. Witness said he was in the Lud-
h w Hotel when the sin's were fired. It
was about ten minutes after the shots
were fired before be enter'd the room,
ile came In almost immediately after Mr.
Chambers. The razor, he said, was close
ito Jones' left hand and about nn arm >
length from the head. The case of the
razor was four or five inches away on
1he right side. He saw the deceased raise
his left hand and place It under his head.
The other testimony corroborated that of
Mr. Chambers.
At the conclusion of Mr Martin's t"s-
tlmonv the court adjourned until 2:30

fied the chair exhibited in the

DEFENSE BEGINS.
S. J Brooks, first witness for the de-
fence, testified that about two weeks
prior to tic death of Mr. Jones Mrs
joni'.. came to hi. law office and request-
ed that lie Ins-; tit lite divoice ,i:\iccedings
for her aga.nst Mr. Jones, si tting thai
she was airald to live with him and that
lie had refused to pay her board.
"I told Mrs. Jones that my firm did not
take divorce cases, but told her I would
seo Mr. Jones and try t«» adjust matters,
said Mr. Brooks. "I saw Mr. Jones an I
h< told me thai his mother-in-law ha I
caused all of the trouble, that she would
.soon leavt and when she did matters
w old be straightened out. Ife adodit'd
that the board bill had not been paid,
but he would attend to it once

PHYSICIAN T EST I I'M ES.
Dr. Russell Caffery testified that he
hi.d beer regarded as the family physi-
cian at the home of Nat B. Jones since
the birt h of their ehi'u
"The first time that I wns ever call, d
to attend Mrs. Jones was about six
months before tho birth of hcr child,
testified I»r. ('affery. "At that time I
found numerous marks and bruises on
her body, throat, neck, arms end wrists.
Mrs, Jones was hysterical and delirious
and bordering on complete collapse. As
a result of her treatment she was con-
fined to her bed two weeks and was
under tlie care during that time of a
trained nurse. The third day after her
child was born she and Jones engaged
in a violent quarrel, which caused her i
severe nervous shock. The trained nurse
who was attending her stated to me that
Jones had threatened to take the child
by its heels and beat Its brains out on tiie
foot of the bed.
"I have been called to the home of
Nal B. Jones at least 12.» time* since the
birth of their child, and at least ten of
these visits were to attend Mrs. Jones
following violent disputes between her
and Jones. Mr. Jones had admitted to
me more than once that he had assault-
id his wife, on one occasion remarking:
•She has got the devil in her, and the
only way to cure her is to beat It out |
of her.'
"Two years ago, when the Joneses llv d
on Garden Street, I wns summoned to
tiie house and found bruises on Mri.
Jones' body, throat and am s. Three
days later I met Jones and he asked
me: 'Good evening; how are the bruises
en Fay getting along?' And then he re-
marked: 'She brought It on herself. I
have to beat It out of her '
"When the child was three weeks old
Mrs. Jones suffered a relapse. I w s
uneasy and suggested to Jones that a
consultation be held. With an oath he
told rao that a consultation was not nec-
essary, that he did not earn his money
tor that purpose.
"I attended Mrs. Jones twice when the
Joneses resided on Main Avenue, and in
my presence Jones abused his wife and
insisted that she did not need medical
attention, and Insinuated almost any-
thing. N'»t a month went by without I
was called to attend Mrs. Jones, wh »
suffered from hysterical collapse. Jones
abused her and accused her ef all sorts
of crimes and on one occasion when I
was called to the house I found that
Mrs. Jones' gown was torn and she was
bruised all over the body. These cases
of abuse became so common that I be-
came disgusted and did not listen to ex
planatlons of what had occurred when l
called to render medical aid to Mrs.
Jones. These violent disputes continued
when Mr. and Mrs. Jones moved to l.'JO
Madison Street.
MRS. JONES HYSTERICAL.
"When I reached home about midnight
on the night of the tragedy I was told
by tiiv w fe that rj hurry call had been
sent f>>r me by Mrs. Jones at tiie Lud-
low. I thought that it was another of
the miserable cases and, being tired out,
I did not respond to the call and. Instead,
retired. I was later awakoned and told
J of the shooting of Jones. I dragged my-
self from bed and hurried to the Ludlow,
where 1 found Mrs. Jones In a state of
collapse, hysterical and delirious Dr.
Shropshire was there. I did not see the
body of Jones."
Dr. Caffrey was questioned by Mr.
Davies, counsel for defense, if a person
in the art of rising from a chair is struck
in the bra 1 with a b diet It would lie
natural for him to fall back into the
chair. In answer l>r. Caffery said that
when a bullet penetrated the brain of a
man tiie power of voluntary movement
Is gone and that an Involuntary move-
ment then ensued. The entire muscular
system is Involved and the leirs and
arms, which are used more freely, re-
spond more readily After a man who Is
shot in the heat I fjills back Into a chair,
it was Dr. t'affery's opinion that the in
voluntary movement would cause him
to pitch forward and out of the chair.
On cross-examination, when asked rel-
ative to the bullet holes In the back of
the chair, near which the body of Jen s
was found, far. Caffery stated that when j
the shots were fired Jones might have 1
been In a crouching position. In which I
case the bullet wounds would rang* :
dowmva rd.
"If a man when shot in the head and j
spine and the arm holding a razor Is
shattered, what would be< onie of the
razor?" asked Assistant District Attorney
Chambers.
"The hand grasping the razor would !
relax and tho razor would fall. '
"Is It possible for a man shot In the
brain and his right arm shattered to |
throw a razor three or four feet around j
to the left of him?"
"I do not intend to be funny, hut I ,
will answer that question by say Ins; that
when n chicken's head is cut off the
chicken will dance around from one side
• •f the \ard to the other, cutting up like !
an acrobat. A man when shot does a
similar turn, and It is possible that he j
could throw a razor or any other object I
he might have In his hand several feet. '
At 6:15 o'clock Dr. Caffery's testimony '
had been completed and court adjourned '
pntll 9:3t> o'clock this morning.
