JONES GETS SHORT RESPITE. L Judge Sease Stays Execution of Sen- S tence-Hearing Saturday. V Union, May 12.-Attorneys for W. f, T. Jones, convicted of the murder of g his wife and sentenced to life impris- c onment, yesterday went before Judge!t T. S. Sease and secured an order c granting a stay of the execution of q the sentence. The remittitur from the State su preme court, which had confirmed the verdict and sentence of the court of general sessions for this county, was received by Clerk of Court Peake yesterday morning. That officer proceeded to make a certified copy of the verdict and sentence of the cir cuit court, which would have been sent to the penitentiary authorities, today, and an officer would have been sent from the penitentiary to convey Jones to that institution. This is the regular and orderly procedure in such cases. s The order of Judge Sease stays this, however, until Saturday next, at least, at which time the attorneys will ap pear before the judge for a hearing. The affidavits upon which the. order is based have not been filed, and their:. nature or by whom they are made is not known. The order recites, how s ever, that affidavits have been sub anitted to the effect that there was misconduct on the part of jurors who tried the case, and further, that claim is made that there is after dis covered evidence, which maay effect the merits of the case. It was understood yesterday that' attorneys for Jones intended making further efforts to prevent his going to the' penitentiary, but it was not known just what was being done un til the order of Judge Sease was filed this morning. t JONES LOSES AGAIN. t Judge Sease Revokes His Stay of Sen. tence-Lawyers Are Dis. courteous, t The State. Spartanburg, May 14.-Judge T. S. Sease this morning revoked his order of May 1L. -which was to the effect that execution of the sentence of life: imprisonment against W. T. Jones of C Union county, convicted of wife mur -der, be restrained until a hearing could be had -by the court of a pe tition for a new trial. The matter I now stands as it was before Judge C Sease issued his order of May 11. The order was revoked principally on the ground that Judge Sease, as*" solicitor, had been the prosecuting at-* torney for the State against Jones. Ju'dge Sease this morning turned / hlis order over to George Johnstone and Jas. Munro, attorneys for W. T. Jones. Messrs. Johnstone and Munro. had brought the deputy clerk, Grady Allee1 of UTnion ounty, along with ~ them, and as soon as Judge Sease asked if he would send the order to the clerk of court of Union county, ~ someone said "here is the .deputy clerk, he will take charge of it." The deputy clerk took the petition and -placed it in his pocket. - Though he had the court's permis s.ion, when a reporter asked to be al lowed to make a copy of the paper, he was discourteously refused the priv ilege by Mr. 1Li. iro. Shortly after the hearing Jones' attorneys and the deputy clerk of Un-' ion county put out across country in an automobile. It was reported that they were going to take a near cut to another judge. Unless Jones' attorneys get another -judge to issue an order or some -newt I:motion is made before the supreme .court meets Monday, Jones will have to begin at once upon his sentence of life imprisonment, JONES -GE TS ANOTHE R STAT.

For some time, it a stated, there has been an elementi .mong the Fort - Fremont soldiers rhich has been fraternizing with thei egroes, especially the Potter broth,-i rs and this is generally attributed as b.e cause of the clash. Condition Still Serious. The post surgeon announced to ight that the condition of Privates ~uigley and McNally is still serious. ~he other four men were peppered iith small shot and their condition ras never considered serious.
