Albert Jones declared insane
New Jersey Mirror of May 9, 1906:
Albert Jones, of Masonville, who was recently charged with murder and after investigation proved to be nothing more dangerous than a chicken thief, was taken to the county asylum on Monday. He was declared insane while awaiting action of the Court
On June 13, the newspaper had this follow-up:
Little Carrie Jones, who created such a sensation a few months ago when she told thrilling stories of the murder of her sister by her stepfather, Albert Jones, then living near Masonville, but now an inmate of the State asylum, is being held at the county almshouse prior to being turned over to the care of the State Board of Children's Guardians. The child has been living in Camden with her uncle and aunt, but about about two weeks ago, it is reported, the latter eloped with a circus man, and the uncle decided that he could no longer care for her.
