? f JONES REFUSED NEW TKJAL. Union Uxoricido Sentenced to impris onment for lii^o-Tlio Tragedy. Union, Feb. 12.-The motion for a new trial in the celebrated case of W. T. Jones, a wealthy planter of this county, who, after a most sen sational t rial here last week, on tho Charge ol having murdered his beau? t|f*>l wife last July hy administering or causing her to take strychnine, and which resulted In i verdict of guilty whh recommendation to mercy, after the jury had had the mailer under advisement for eigh teen long, tedious hours, was to-day refused by Judge Memmlnger, ?vito presided last week. Jones was refused a new trial al ter many noars of argument. He was sentenced to life imprison nient. Judge Memmlnger in passing sen tence told the prisoner he had hel ter take tho term, for If granted n new trial he believed he would hang. This murder trial of W. T. Jones, 1.ans.- of his standing, ability and wealth, for bo ls a man owning over 3,000 of the most fertile and highly ?aili(vated acres of land in this coun ty, ami besides has a large county ginnery and lived, before the crime lie ls alleged to have committed, In one ol the most palatial country ho.ins in South Cand?na, altogether being worth nearly $100,000, which ls (pille a competence lu this State for a planter, has attracted much attention. Personally, Jones, to most people, is a most affable niau, and on nu merous occasions has shown evi dences of real generosity. He is a fine type ol' physical manhood, being about six feet two Inches In height and weighing shout two hundred and forty pounds. His composure and bearing throughout the trial was one of the marvels of those who saw bini, but he nearly collapsed when the verdict was announced, and has since been (julie 111. lt was on Sunday night, July 5, 1.(08, that a negro lu passing the Jones home at Snntuc, heard a wo man screaming. It was the voice of Mrs. Jones, testified this negro on the stand, and he heard Mr. Jones cursing. Shortly after 12 o'clock that night Dr. J. T. Jeter, the fam ily physician, was summoned and found Mrs. Jones In convilslons from the effects of strychnine poisoning. Jones, the physician swore, seemed unaffected when told that she was dead. At the inquest held the next day testimony of the most sensa tional and revolting nature was In troduced. Three witnesses, one a white man, a magistrate, and two negroes, telling how on separaate oc casions M.rs. Jones had approached them while apparently laboring un der intense excitement, fear and compulsion by some unseen force, to make a proposal both Improper and naturally one n white woman would not make. Other witnesses told of long and continued 111 treat ment for many years of the woman by Jones. As a result of the evi dence brought out nt the Inquest Jones was arrested and committed to jail heve on July fl, 1908, where he has since been. Various efforts were made by appeals to Circuit and Su preme Court Judges io obtain his release on ail, hut in each Instance failed. Though the verdict last Sat urday was a surprise to Jones lt is said that he states that the real fipht In his case has just begun, so that further developments are awaited with Intense interest.

NOT 11 IX (J IX 1 IS ll -WAV MATTEM. lt is Claimed Carolina Commission was Always Treated Courteously. (Augusta Chronicle, 6th.) The statement from Columbia, pub lished In the Chronicle yesterday morning, regarding the fishway at the Augusta locks dam, caused much comment on the street yesterday, and the people who have been talk ing about lt say that, the criticism about Augusta ls unwarranted. The criticism regarding the fish way, many believe, was made with out a thorough investigation. As a matter of fact the fishway in the Au gusta dam was put in by plans and specifications from the government experts and ls adajited to local con ditions. It ls nlso said that the putting in the river nt Augusta several years ago. by the United States Department of Fisheries, of several million young carp han caused the decrease in all kinds ol fish here with the exception of the carp and the cat fish. Fine shad used to be found in abundance nt and near Augusta, but not one cnn be found in this section now. The earp has been the destroyer of this fish. The South Carolina committee vis ited Augusta a number of times and was on all occasions, with the possi ble exception of their last visit, shown all of the attention possible. On their last visit Mr. Nisbet Wing field was out of the city, hut return ed at 11 o'clock In the morning and went Immediately to the hotel of the South Carolinians. He was informed that they had paid their bills and left. He looked for them several hours, but was not able to locate I hem. The report and criticisms of the committee are not taken very seri ously in Augusta, and at the i>ro|>e time a reply will be made to the charges. There ls no fear, however, of a damage suit being instituted against the city, or the State, as Hu fishway has been made according to the government expert's plans, and was accepted by the government.
