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.
