SAVED BY A DH Releases Life Convict From Texas State Prison. GUILTLESS OF MURDER Vision Coming to Total Stranger Brings Freedom to G. Y. Jones, lescrted by Friends and Even by AVlte. SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. June 30. Par doned from a penitentiary life sentence because of a dream such is the romantic circumstance surrounding the release of George W. Jones from the Texas state prison at Huntsville, where he was incar cerated 11 years ago on the charge of murdering a woman. The murder was committed in William son County. j woman whose name has been handled more or less by local gossips was found dead. Certain circumstances seemingly pointed to Jones as the mur derer. He was tried and convicted. His wife showed her devotion by removing from her home to Huntsville, so that she might visit him frequently. He was well-to-do and furnished money for her sup port. Jones maintained his innocence of the crime, setting forth that he was at all times devoted to his wife and had never associated with other women. For about a, year Mrs. Jones was a, frequent caller at the prison. It was the one bright spot in Jones' prison life these visits from his wife. But there came a time when the visits were not so frequent. Jones pined, but his wife explained that she feared to gain the displeasure of the prison ofnclals. She felt that they were annoyed by her calls. Divorce Papers Served. One day after the visits had slackened there came a civil oftlcer to the prison with a divorce summons for Jones. "Here Is a paper for you." said the oftlcer. Jones' heart fluttered probably that faithful' wife of his had secured him a pardon. He glanced at it hurridly he realized its meaning. . Catching up the hatchet with which he had been working, he severed his right hand at the wrist, and with his left he handed the amputated member to the Deputy Sheriff, saying: "Take this back to my wife, and tell her it is my answer to her divorce pe tition my good right hand; a hand that has never committed a crime, but has worked all these years for her sup port." The divorce was granted and the wife soon married again married a man whom she met in Huntsville, where she was living to be near her convict husband. Jones' wounded arm healed after a painful siege, but he always mourned for his wife, and often in the night the guards on their rounds would hear him sobbing her name. Waldrip's Strange Dream. And now for the strange part of the story. J. H. Waldrip, who lives at Chester, Tex., and who years ago read newspaper accounts of how Jones had chopped his hand off, dreamed a few weeks ago of the affair. He also saw In hie dream the murder of the woman saw the tragedy enacted, he declares, as plainly as though he had been an actual eye-witness. . Waldrip was not acquainted with Jones had never even seen him, but he was familiar with his description from heresay, and the man he saw in hie dream the man who killed the woman was of entirely dif ferent appearance. Waldrip was so Impressed with his dream that he felt called upon to study the case. He neglected his own busi ness and delved into the records. He Interviewed the Prosecuting Attorney in the case. He sought the trial judge, long since retired, and begged him for assistance In freeing Jones. "The man Is not guilty, I know It I saw another roan commit that mur der saw him In my dream," Waldrip declared with earnestness. Mystery Is Solved. At first Waldrip's dream was looked upon as a joke. Hie friends feared for his sanity. F.ut he kept persistently at his task, and at last attracted more or less of a following. Little by little the tangled skein was unwound, and now, through the dream of Waldrip, a total Btranger, the Governor of Texas and the Pardon Board have set free Convict Jones. Bereft of the wife for whose love he sacrificed his right hand, Jones has sought seclusion on a ranch near San Antonio, where he says he shall remain.
