ON TRI AL FOR BIS LIFE Allen Jones, Col., Charged With Burglarizing Rock Springs Hotel in February. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT. Grest Difficulty la Selecting a Jnry Hearing Will Likely Consome All of the Term-Only Two Witnesses Eximlned Thus Far. Allen Jones, colored, was placed on trial for his life in the Superior Oourt yesterday. The charge is burglary, the circumstances of which will be re called when it is stated that the case is known as the "Bock Spring Hotel robbery . IMs . alleged lhat on the Jonea entered the hotel, sat down in the office, feigned drunkenness and when the guests had all retired, went up to the room of Mr. P. J. Vincent, a guest oh the second 1 floor, and robbed the pockets of his trousers of a pocket-book containing a small amount of money; When the alarm was given, Jones ran out of the hotel and joined the victim of the robbery In shouts for the police. The case was taken up the first thing yesterday morning and will uxeiy require au or to-aay for I'm completion. By assignment ' of the court Jones Is being defended bv Geo. L. Peschau and Brooke G. Em pie, Esqs., and O. D. Koonce, Esq., Is assisting Solicitor Duffy. The greatest difficulty was expe rienced in selecting a jury, that pre liminary not having been disposed of until o'clock in the afternoon, when the . followine were emnanelled Messrr. Mi G. Chadwick,- David T. Peterson, J. EL Burruss, Mike Cron y, M. Marshburn, Owen Fennell, W. 8 Bernard, T. K. Curtis, R. B. Stone, W. G. Webb, J. EL Hinton and J. W. Brooks. The panel was from a apecial venire of seventy-five ordered on Wednesday and an additional venire of fifty ordered and summoned ves- terday. Fifty-eight of the first venire were returned by the sheriff upon the opening of court and from these only eight jurors were acceptable to both aides. The remaining, four required to try the case were selected from the aecond venire of fifty, which was sum moned during and after the dinner recess. The jury was placed in charge of Deputy Sheriff W. EL Cox, who took the special oath required in capi tal felonies, and the members will not be allowed to separate until the case is completed. When the jury had been selected yesterday afternoon a request of So licitor Duffy that all defendant's wit nesses be sent out of the court room and be brought in one at a time was granted by Judge Peebles and this waa followed by a similar request as to the State's witnesses, which waa also granted. 'Witnesses for the State are D. M. Currie, proprietor of the hotel; F. J. Vincent, the guest who was robbed; O. B Lucas, O. W. Holland, M. J. Heyer, F. A. Home, O. E. Wood, M. O. Gray and John Meir. Sereral of these are character ' wit ness. For the negro are Jamea 8. Chap man, H. (. Parmele, M. O'Brien and Elijah Jones, white, and Thos. Pry or, Wm. Nixon, Beekie Green and Jim MacBae, colored. Mr. Vincent was the first witness for the State. He first saw Jonea about midnight, Dec. 24th. The Solicitor asked the witness where- and under what circumstances, but defendant's attorneys objected on. the ground of Hrrelevancy; the objection was over ruled ; exception was noted and Mr. Vincent said that he saw defendant standing in the door of his room at the Bock Springs Hotel with a lamp in his hand ; witness was in bed' in room No. ' 8, second floor; next saw defendant on night of February 26th, 1903, about 10 o'clock Jones was sitting in office of Bock Springs hotel with his hands over his face and elbows on his knees. Wit ness touched him on the- shoulder in passing, and not recognizing him aa a mulatto said: "Old man, you had better go to bed." Defendant groan ed, appeared to be drinking tod wit ness 'understood . nothing he said. Witness passed on through with two acquaintances, Witherington and Bui lard; ahowed them to their rooms, and went to his and dropped off to sleep. Jones was left in the office in same position he was found; he had on black coat and light colored soft hat. Witness went to bed, leaving' lamp burning, and laid his clothes on trunk near foot of bed ; he was aroused about midnight by a clinking noise, as if a button or other object ( had struck bowl or pitcher on wash stand. Wit ness jumped up ; looked at his trousers ; found pocket-book gone - and door open, which he left shut; it waa open about 18 inches and trous ers were on. wash atand; pocket book contained about 13.64 In quarters, halver, a dime, two-cent luck ;piece, and two ordinary, copper cents. Wit ness described pocket-book and said immediately upon discovery of robbery he ran down stairs, making no alarm and not taking time to dress; went out through side door opening into yard leading to Gheanut street and not out of main entrance; found side door open and upon reaching sidewalk, shouted for police. In two or three minutes and while standing on side walk, Jones came out of aide door and joined In cries for police and said he would help find police. He passed witness and wejtt down Chesnut street towards river joining in shouts and going to Mr. ' Wallace - Alderman's timber office and ' trying to effect an entrance where . some negroes were ilecpiug . Witness followed him and never lost sight of him; he crossed backwards and forth the foot of Ches nut street, and finally turning back up Chestnut street defendant was met by policeman, arrested and locked up at City Hall. Only a knife was found on defendant's person but ajsearch on the following morning between 6 and 7 o'clock by witness, C. W. Holland, two policemen and others resulted in the finding of the money by Mr. Holland and identification of the same; money was picked up under pile of poles along course pursued by Jones on night pre vious. 1 Mr. Vincent on cross examination said he could not positively identify Jones as man he aaw in office but to the best of hia knowledge and belief he is the same man. - Mr. O. W. Holland, the next wit ness, testified as to seeing Jones in the office at 11 o'clock in the same posi tion as described by Vincent. He pushed him and got a look into his face, . He also testified as to the find ing of the money. At 6 o'clock the court took a recess until 10 A. M. to-day when the hear ing will be resumed. Joner, the .defendant, says he is about 50 years old and is a native of Kentucky. He has lived in Birming ham, Ala., and left a wife there whom he said he could not get along with. He came to Wilmington about a year ago from Charlotte, via Hamlet, where be got a "good stake" gambling, came here and put up at a restaurant on Nutt street. He'said he had been em ployed as a laborer at various kinds of work, principally stevedoring. He is a orignt mulatto and is rainy intern gent. He was arrested by a posse of citizens on the Sound last Winter when so many burglaries were going on there and was arraigned in Justice Fowler's court, in this city, charged with entering the residence of Mr C. F. VocKsmpeD. The evidence was insufficient to convict for burglary and Jones was sen1, to the roads for va grancy. Little of his history is known here and he appears somewhat reticent Jn relating past experiences. The present term of court will ex pire by limitation tonIght and it Is not expected 'that much more than a completion ofthe burglary case will be accomplished. A number of de fendants will be left in jail until the May term. Among them will be W. J. Johnson, white, charged with - per jury in tne Mayor's court; uouerick, charged with thelarceny of hogr, and Robert and Walter Thomas, colored, charged with the murder of another negro by stabbing him to death in Cato Boney's -'ranch" some time ago.
