INQUEST SOLVES
DEATH MYSTERY
Mr. William Parris, Who Died
Saturday Night, Got Hold of
Acid Instead of Whiskey.
The coroner’s Inquest, which was
called by special order from Judge
Hammond to clear up the mystery of
the death of Mr. William Farris on
Saturday night, was held Sunday
morning at 10:30 o'clock, and, after
a thorough examination of the evi
dence, the Jury handed down the fol
lowing: "It is our opinion that the de
ceased came to his death as the resuit
of poisoning by some escharotlc, volun
tarily taken.”
Mr. Farris was seen on Saturday af
ternoon by a colored woman named
Amanda Freeman, who keeps a little
shop and restaurant at 21fi Fifteenth
street, In Brldwell’s Bottom, apparent
ly In a serious condition on the side
walk in front of her place. She helped
carry him inside, and made him com
fortable, under the impression that he
had been drinking. She stated on the
stand that Mr. Farris had been to her
establshment before when drinking,
and she had on various occasions tak
en rsre of him.
About an hour after he came Into
her place, she saw him take a flask
out of his pocket and take one or two
drinks. She stated that when he re
moved the cork, ’’smoke’’ issued from
the mouth of the bottle. Mr Farris'
symptoms gtew markedly worse af
ter he took these drinks.
Mrs. Alice Robertson next testified
that she saw Mr. Farris at the colored
woman's house and spoke to him. She
was so impressed with the seriousness
of his condition that she notified his
wife, who came for him at about dark
and took him home in a hack, where
he died two hours later, at 8:30 or 9
o'clock.
The bottle from which he had taken
the drinks In Amanda Freeman’s store
was found to contain muriatic acid, a
fluid used In Mr. Farris’ trade, which
was that of a tinner. It was In a half
pint flask labeled corn whiskey, and
i;o is sai J to have stated before he died
clubs will have the highest class ex
hibits, as usual.
The livestock entries pouring
in and it is believed that the live
stock building will be filled to ca
pacity. From Georgia, South Caro

class stock at Augusta’s big fall show.
There will be splendid amusements,
including an excellent midway, fine
horse racing and automobile races,
etc., at the fair.
Make your arrangements now to
come to the fair next week. There
will be cheap rates on all the rail

Manager C. G. Trussell, of the Hotel
Bon Air, was in the city a few days
ago and he stated that he was ex
pecting a fine season. The Bon Air

The European war is causing thous

There are hundreds of Augustans who
have seen Miss Mary Pickford and they
arc all, without an exception, ardent ad
mirers of hf*r acting.
Mary Bickford's name and her ap
pearance in the title role, would almost
be enough to insure any picture suc
cess, but when she appears in a part,
fitting exactly her individual personality,
and when that part is surrounded by a
delightful story, far out of the ordinary,
nothing remains to he perfected.

plays.

that somebody had given him the bot
tle, he did not know who. The bot
tle was half empty and was turned
over to Dr. C. J. Montgomery, the
county physician. It was at the doc
tor’s request that the Inquest was or
dered.
The conclusion reached by the Jury
was that Farris, being a tinner by
trade, had the muriatic acid on his
person at the same time with a flask
of liquor, and that ho. got the bottles
mixed. His friends, however, still per
sist that his death was the result of
foul play, and that somebody deliber
ately gave him the acid In a whiskey
bottle.

CAPT. DAN JONES
ENDS LIFE BY
INHALING GAS
For Many Years Conductor on
Georgia Railroad and Was a
Highly Esteemed Gentleman.
11l Health Caused Mind to
Become Unbalanced.
EVERY INDICATION THAT
ACT HAD BEEN PLANNED
FOR CONSIDERABLE TIME
Found in Bath F' un at 811
Telfair Street. weaves De
voted Wife and Other Rela
tives. Funeral at Decatur.
His health undermined by an Insid
ious disease, which was rapidly sap
ping his remaining vitality, and des
pairing of ever becoming again the
robust man that ho once was, Cap
tain Daniel J. Jones, for many years a
conductor on the Georgia Railroad,
ended his life by inhaling gas in the
hath room of 811 Telfair Street some
time early Sunday morning. The body
was found at 7:30 o’clock by the flvo
year-old daughter of Mr. E. G. Beaver
and it was evident that death had re
lieved him several hours before.
However, Captain Jones could not
have been dead over four or five hours
because lie was conductor on the
night express from Atlanta on Satur
day night and did not reach Augusta
until 2:20 Sunday morning. R Is pre
sumed that lie went immediately to
the residence of Mrs. Alice Howard,
Where he had temporarily engaged a
room pending tile removal of himself
und wife to a resilience on lower
Greene Street, and taking off Ills coat
and collar, and tying a towel about tits
head, prepared for death. He wrote
a note before entering the hath room,
and which was found on Ills body,
telling what disposition he wished
made of his body.
Left a Note.
In this note he stilted that his will
would he found In hfh trunk and that
Mr. Walter Wallace, of Social Circle,
a nephew of Captain Jones, would act
uh executor. The note was address
ed to no one and gave no cause for
the deed. It was Written hurriedly,
before Captain Jones entered wlmt
subsequently proved to he his cham
ber of death. Unco entering the bath
room he closed the door and tumid
on the gas. The gas which asphyx
iated Captain Jones was from a Jet in
the floor which had been Installed for
heating purposes. With such a pow
erful current of the deadly fumes it is
not believed that it took very long to
produce death.
No one in the house at 81 i Telfuir
Street he rd Captain JoneN enter the
house after his train arrived. Very
quietly lie went to Ills room and even
more quietly made the arrangements
for the end. His own room was close
to the hath room and it was merely
a question of making a few steps.
News Broken to His Wife.
As soon as the body was discovered
the brief-stricken wife was prepared
by her relatives and friends for the
shock. Staying for a few days with
her sister, Mth. Glascock Barrett, at
405 Reynolds Street, while some al
terations were being made In the
house which she and Captain Jones
had rented on lower Greene Street,
Mrs. Jones was up early Sunday
morning to await her husband's com
ing. She was anxious about him any
way, knowing that his health was so
poor, and It was with more than her
usual anticipation that she looked for
ward to his coming. The faithful wife
was Impatient anyway at the delay
In getting Into her own home with
her husband and Sundny morning she
was 111-prepared for the shock which
was soon to come, fur the news, how
ever gentty broken, was a cruel blow
at best.
The body of Captain Jones was re
moved to the R. E. Elliott Undertak
ing Parlors and prepared for burial.
It was decided to hold the funeral
and Interment at Decatur, Mrs. Jones’
old home, where she Intends to reside
In the future. Accompanied by the
grief-stricken widow, relatives and
friends the body was taken to Deca
tur on the Georgia Railroad's fast
train leaving Augusta at 12:30 p. m.
Monday. The funeral and Interment
will occur Tuesday afternoon. Before
the removal of the body from 811 Tel
fair Street t)r. C. J. Montgomery, the
coroner's physician, made an exami
nation and determined that no Inquest
was necessary.
Was 50 Years of Aga.
Captain Jones was 60 years of age
on the first day of last July. He was
born in Conyers, Oa„ and when 16
years of age began work as a brake
man on the Georgia Railroad. He
arose steadily and within a few years
was made conductor. For many years
he was conductor ijri the Picayune be
tween Augusta and Camak, and later
between Augusta and Macon. A few
years ago ho was given a run between
Atlanta and Covington and It was not
until a few months ago that ho was
unsigned to the night express, the train
wlileh leaves Atlanta early In the night
nnd reaches Augusta at 2:20 a. m. For
a number of years Captain Jones’
health had been poor. lie had tried
various remedies nnd gone to health
resorts but to no avail. For the past
two month* his condition has preyed
on hts mind to such extent that It Is
believed ho became unbalanced and
not long since his mind Is sold to hsvo
left him on the street and for a time
he did not know the way home.
Up until October first Captain end
Mrs. Jones hoarded at Mrs. Wilkins’
on Greene street. They determined to
begin housekeeping then and It was
because of their Inability to get located
in a house which they liked that caused
them not to have a home to them
selves. They were to have moved
Monday morning to lower Greene
street in a house owned by the Pron
taut estate. The convenience of 811
Telfslr street to the depot caused Cap
tain Jones to go there after his run
from Atlanta.
Besides his wife, Captain Jones Is
survived by two sisters, Mrs. W. J.
Barron of Ground Oak, On., nnd Mrs.
George Jordan of Chicago. His wife
wua Miss Naomi Mcßea before her
