Murder
charge
reduced
A murder charge against
Frank Jones Jr. of 860 East
Taylor street was reduced to
manslaughter yesterday af
ternoon at a commitment
hearing at the county jail.
Judge John 0. Clements or
dered that Jones be bound over
to the October Grand Jury and
set his bond at $2,000.
Jones was arrested a few
days ago on a warrant taken by
Mrs. Nora Bell Jester, charging
him with murder in connection
with the Sept 12 shooting death
of her husband, Troy Jester of
125 Pearl street Griffin Police
had held Jones earlier but
released him when a coroner’s
jury last Monday ruled the
shooting justifiable homicide.
Six persons testified
yesterday. They included
Detective Sgt Marvin Barrow,
who conducted the in
vestigation, Officer Steve
Smith, one of the first
policemen on the scene, the
accused and his wife, and two of
Jones’ friends who had been
watching tv with him just
before the shooting, Walter
Andrews of Wall street and
Orebrous Jester of East
Solomon street
Jones stated that he,
Orebrous Jester, and Andrews
were watching wrestling on tv
when Troy Jester came to the
house, apparently drunk and
talking and cursing in a loud
voice. Jones said when he asked
him to leave, Jester shook his
finger in his face and said
several times he would go
home, get his gun, and come
back and kill Jones.
Jones said he called the police
but before they arrived, Jester
was back threatening him
again. He said as Jester came
across the yard, he (Jones)
fired a warning shot into the air
to frighten him, but when he
kept coming and began to pull a
pistol out of his pocket, Jones
fired. Jester apparently died
instantly with a bullet wound
through the heart.
Jones stated that he and
Jester had known each other
for many years, that they had
worked together for the city and
that Jester had come to his
house the morning and the
afternoon on the day of the
shooting. He said that as Jester
was drunk, he didn’t know what
he (Jester) was going to do.
Mrs. Jones, Andrews and
Orebrous Jester all said they
heard Jester say he would get
the gun and come back and kill
Jones.
Jones was represented by
Atty. Clifford Seay.
