Seated near the murdered man's widow, who held in her lap her baby, Robert Jones heard his sentence without emotion. He appeared calmly indifferent.

VIGOR DEATH THAT HE KILLED OFFICER
In his testimony during the afternoon, the negro had told his story of his struggle to steal the ham for which he will pay with his life. On the stand, the negro said that as he reached for the ham, a man stepped toward him and ordered him to throw up his hands. As the man approached, Jones said, he lunged forward, re-cited for the pistol and was shot in the leg. Then Crosby, said Jones, flung himself upon the police officer, and Jones ran. As he fled, said Jones, he heard another shot. He swore that he never did get the officer's pistol in his own hand, and that he had no weapon of any kind.

Dr. W. P. Macon, health officer of the city, who was present at Thompson's autopsy, testified to the physical condition of the negro's victim. Found guilty. Jones was returned to jail under a strong military guard.

Probation trial begins tomorrow morning. His conviction is thought to be even more certain than Jones's, for Crosby will have to face the alleged fact that he made a confession to Chief of Police Domron in the presence of witnesses Crosby is quoted as admitting that he assailed the officer with a stone.
