What happened to Jones eventually?

• A. He escaped and lived quietly.
• B. He was questioned by Union detectives, arrested, and imprisoned, but released.
• C. He was executed.
• D. He stayed in custody without release.

Answer: (B)

After the assassination, investigators cast a wide net, questioning many people who might have information. Jones was among those brought in by Union detectives. He was arrested and imprisoned for a time, but ultimately released when there wasn’t enough evidence tying him to the plot. This shows how the early hunt proceeded: many leads were pursued, but only those with solid proof were kept in custody.
