Grandpa Jones was also very instrumental in convicting the 2 killers. When caught, the killers had some of Stringbean's guns. Grandpa Jones was able to testify the guns belonged to String. When asked by the defense how he could be sure those were String's guns, Grandpa told how String loved to hunt (Grandpa & String hunted together often) but hated to clean the guns. So Grandpa cleaned String's guns and knew every nick and scratch on them. He was, therefore, able to identify the guns without equivocation.
