It was late in the aftern oon o f January 17, 1894 that a tw o wheel ed cart, drawn by a team o f horses, wound its way up T anner's C reek Canyon to Zion T ow n (o r Sylvan p ost-office) at the can yon 's head.

V/. 4th at Montgomery • ATwater 2181 This, if we accep t the w ord o f i Jones' neighbors, was not his co m mon practice. He had often ex pressed a profound mistrust for banks, not unjustified at that time, and it was thought that he kept his fortune concealed upon his premises. On the way home, Jones stopped to make som e purchases and changed a $10 gold piece, receiving $5 in gold and the balance in silver coin. This $5 gold piece w as to figure prom inently in the events o f the next few hours. A bout dusk o f that w inter eve ning the pair arrived at the feed w arehouse In Zion T ow n in front o f Jon es’ house. Here they alighted from the cart and were Joined by Charles Davey, a you ng man, 22 years old, who lived with his par ents at Shattuck's Station, a mile and a half from Zion T ow n. Davey J was a bricklayer by trade hut had I been unem ployed for about six j months. Aiken stopped to attend j to the horses and Jones walked through the orchard to his hom e, | closely follow ed by Davey. C om ing to the house a few m in utes later, Aiken found Davey try ing to con vin ce Jones that he needed to have his ch im n ey re built and offerin g to do the Job for $2. Jones replied that he was satisfied with the chim ney as it was. Then Davey told Jones that Mrs. Josephine Johnson, a wom an w hom Jones expected to m arry, w anted to see him at the saloon. Davey and som e o f his fellow bar-room loaf- erg had cook ed up a plan and forged a note purporting to be from Mrs. Johnson to entice the I old man down to the saloon and “ m ake him treat on his com in g 1 m arriage.” Jones, w h o . w as som ew hat in- j toxicated at the time, said that he was too tired to go, hut handed Davey 25c to buy beer and cigar- etts for the hoys and Davey left, ostensibly to go home. Jones then sent Aiken to one of the tw o saloons in the village to buy a bottle o f whiskey, and the latter found Davey in the saloon j talking to the Leper hoys, the proprietors, and John Gately. He heard D avey rem ark that he would have obtained $7 from Jones If Aiken had not “ chipped In". A fter som e “ Joshing” , the party went across the street to I»arry M urphy's saloon, in a building owned by Jones, and soon Dan Leper locked up his place and join ed them. Presently Aiken returned to Jones house with the whiskey and I.arry M urphy accom panied him Aiken left him there with Jones at about 5:30. B efore Aiken left he advised Jones to he sure and lock his doors before retiring, as had characters w eie prow ling about the neighbor hood, and It was not safe to leave doors unbolted. S hortly afterw ard M urphy returned to the saloon and, about 10 O 'clock he and Aiken went hom e and retired for the night in quarters w hich they shared j in a building about 200 yards from Jones’ cabin. Aiken, at the inquest several days later, testified that he slept soundly until 8.30 a m., when he arose, dressed im m ediately, and. about h alf an hour later went over to Jones' cabin. Finding the door locked, he railed out to the old man to open It. Assured that his visitor was Aiken, Jones unlocked the door and staggered hack to his bed. Aiken found him seated on the edge o f the bed, his coat and shoes lying on the floor nearby and his vest m issing The old m an’s f a c e w a s covered with dried Mood, and his clothes were in the same co n dition; there were pools o f blood on the flo o r on either side o f the fireplace and everything about (he room w as spattered with It.
