Jones - First name unknown. Once a famous Ingsoc leader, who participated in the underground struggle and the civil war before the Revolution. In 1965, Jones was arrested together with Rutherford and Aaronson, two other Ingsoc leaders, and charged with treason, corruption, murder, conspiracy, and sabotage in a show-trial, charges to which he confessed to be guilty. At least one of the charges, i.e. a meeting with Eurasian generals in Siberia on midsummer's day 1963, was false - the particular day, he had attended a Party function in New York. Jones was rehabilitated and reinstitutioned, but arrested again and put on a show-trial, charged with new crimes against the State and Party to which he confessed, and was finally executed around 1968.
