A ROBERT JONES (Continued* from pagel.) the fall, of 1884 Col. H. R. Brooks, the;: present clerk of the supreme Court, who was , at that time age?t^??r the sinking fund; commissid^-i'yent to Edgefield tb' cplleet the dues on the land known as *theS Jennings tract, which the ^resal?^anti Bol Jones ' had pur chase^Trom the, state. They had failed .o keep up the payments. Col. -Brooks told them that if they were not able to keep the payments up that it would be best for them to rent the plme. "When the land was first pnrchabcd from the state, "the terms were that one-fourth, should be paid in cash and the remainder was to be paid in three equal annual installments. Bob Jones made the first pay ment on the land, and by a mutual understanding between Jones and the.Pressleys one-fourth of the tract was measured off to him and their agreement was that Jones had paid for his share and would not be re quired to pay any .more: - The con-, traet with the state was lost sight j of in which it was stipulated that if the land was not paid, for that it j should revert to, the state and the payment of the one-fourth of the amount would not be considered. Later the land was rented to Charles Pressley. It will be thus seen that Jones did not have any interest in the land. He witnessed the- contract of the state in renting the land to Pressley and knew that he had no more interest. In thc fall of 1885, . while old man Pressley and his two sons were.'panting oats on the land, Bob Jones, who was then a youngman, went to the field. He carried a shotgun. Ile shot Charlie Pressley dead between the plow handles. He then ran off and was pursued across the field by Edgard Pressley. While running he managed ' to' open his knife. Stop ping suddenly he turned upon the boy and literally cut his heart out. He then went back to where the father was standing and said, "Grandpa, I believe that I will kill you," ? .id following the statement fired upon" the old man, the wounds afterwards proving fatal. He then went to Edgefield and surrendered, Jones narrowly escaping hanging. He, was convicted and got a new. trial. There "were mistrials and a change of venue to Lex i net un coun ty and another conviction.-The Sute; Notice to Stock Raisers.
