Aa he rolled down tbe stalra he swept othera before him who were waiting their turn to en ter the theater and aoon there was an Indescribable pile of. human be- Inge at the loot of the steps, bat tling like mad.

The link tbat gives Jones' aa- srtlon serious weight is the fact that Jones n known to be a close friend of "Clauddie", a sister of Beu lah Binford, the girl In tbe case. It therefore hi supposed tbat Joues by bis proximity to tbe III n ford family may have learned of tbe murder al leged to have "been planned by Iteattle in order to be free to resume hia com panionship with the Itinford girl.
