Scribner and Mary Pierce. Jason married Sarah Adeline Wilcox Apr 12, 1862 in Augusta. Jason is said to have been brutal toward his wife and children. He would frequently use profane language and threaten them with violence. Finally, in May 1878, Jason assaulted his wife and two of his children with a spade. His two youngest daughters, Maud and Lena, ages 3 and 2 respectively, died from their injuries. Jason was arrested and stood trial for his crime. Meanwhile, Sarah took employment as a domestic to a family in Augusta, earning money to support her remaining children. During his murder trial, Thursday, Nov 14, 1878, his attorney tried to prove insanity, but witnesses were brought forth that refuted that claim. The jury, after an hour and a half of deliberation, brought back a verdict Saturday, Nov 16th of murder in the first degree. On Nov 25, 1878, a new trial was ordered for Jason, due to a slight error in the indictment. During the second trial the jury disagreed. Finally, at a third trial Wednesday, Oct 29, 1879, a verdict of murder was rendered by the jury. Jason was sentenced Jan 27, 1880, to life in prison. Children of Jason and Sarah: 1. Elmer A.
