Winnie Jones was in the kitchen, evidently getting ready to prepare a meal, when there was a sudden ripping sound and she knew no more. The iron tore through the wood and tin roof like so much paper, took the woman's face and half of her head from her body. It continued on its course, knocking a hole in the floor and burying deep into the ground. The iron had to be dug out with a shovel.

Policemen Tom Fagan, E.G. Bailey and L.P. Brophy hurried to the scene. They found the dead woman in the kitchen. Blood covered the floor and seeped under the doors to the next room and into the back porch.

Winnie Jones had been a cook for Dr. W.T. Oppenheimer on 300 block West Grace Street for three years. The physician said last night she had been relieved of duties for several days because of illness.

Detective Sergeant Walton had Brice, owner of the saw, at headquarters last night for questioning. It is thought improbable that any charges will be preferred against him.
