Walter Burgwyn Jones

Walter Burgwyn Jones

Walter Burgwyn Jones (October 16, 1888 – August 1, 1963) was a judge from Alabama.

Jones served in the Alabama state legislature from 1919 to 1920. He was then a circuit court judge until 1935. Jones was a presiding judge from 1935 to 1963.

In the 1956 Presidential election, faithless elector W. F. Turner cast his vote for Jones, who was a circuit court judge in Turner's home town, for President of the United States and Herman E. Talmadge for Vice President, instead of voting for Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver.
