SPRINGS LO8E8 FATHER Tragic Death of T. M. Jones in ^ - Tennessee Town (Pulaski, Tepn., Record) Thomas. Meriwether Jones, aged 72 years, died at 9:15 o'clock Sun hclay night of injuries sustained ubout two hours earlier in the evening when he was struck by an automobile at the corner of Third and Wast Madison street as he was on his way to church. It was not known until Monday whose cur had struck Mr. Jones, when it developed thut he is supposed to have met his death through having been hit by a car occupied by Dick Holt and John Nelson, Jr., both of whom are sons of prominent men.' Mr. Jones was' found lying in the street about thirty feet west of the street crossing. Friends found hiVn lying near the curbing and rushed him to the hospital, where, upon examination it was found that his condition was crjtical. He was unconscious at brief intervals, but could give no information about the tragic occurrence. He had a scalp wound one at the base of the brain, ami one leg was J'ractured in two places. He was injured internully. At about noon Monday young Holt, who is the son of Hen Holt, well known mail carrier, after talking with .his mother, asked that the sheriff hear a statement from him, and Mr. Hutler went to the Holt home immediately, where he heard the hoy's account of the occurrence. Later he heard John Nelson's statement and states that they coincided, i The latter is the son of John Nelson, Sr., L. & N. Railroad agent here. I The boys both state is was rain-1 ing hard at the time of the accident and they did not see Mr. Jones or any other obstruction of any kind in their path, but .that they felt the impact of a blow of some kind and thought that they had hit a traffic sign, which they knew was at the edge of the sidewalk. After driving around they returned to see if that was what they had hit and of course found that it was not. In the mean time Mr. Jones had been found and removed to the hospital. It was not until they learned later that Mr. Jones had been run over that they had thought of having hit a man. Both boys are over 21 years of age. The car in which they were I driving belongs to HoH^ a^nd he^ was going over 25 miles on hour. On account of the rain very few people were out of doors and as a result nobody saw the accident. But for the fact that the two young men voluntarily gave out the above infqrmatibn, the death of Mr. Jones would have remained an unsolved j mystery in all probability. No charge was lodged against the tw6 boys pending the arrival of Mr. Jones' children. Mr. Jones was the son of the late W. K. Jones, prominent educator and .president at one time of Martin College. He was the father of Buford H. Jones, vice-president of Dunn and McCarthy, manufacturers of Enna Jettick shoes; of Lawrence Jones, general advertising manager of the company, both of whom live in Auburn, N. Y., where the factories of the company are located; of William K. Jones, head of a cotton brokerage firm, with headquarters in Liverpool, England; and of Mrs. Leroy Springs of Lancaster, S. C., well known social and political leader. Arrested For Moonshining | Greenville. ?
