Brown is bpttpr and has made fliller State
ment. He says he rented the farm Of Or.
Kennedy six months ago, and has paid the
rent up to next March. He never had over %
men with him at the farm at any one time that
belonged to the organization, but had good
reason 10 expect reinforcements from Mary
land, Kentucky. North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, and the Canadas lie had arms sufIi-
Gent for 1900 men; had 200 reyolvcrs, 200
Sharpe's rifles and COO spears all which he
left at the farm; had also an abundance Of
powder and fixed ammunition. The arms,
| from time to time, he brought from Connect
cut and other Eastern points to Chambersburg,
Pa. They were directed to j. Smith & Sons
Kennedy Farm, and were packed in double
boxes so as to deceive those who handled then.
Brown says he made one mistake in
either not OBTAINING the train on Sunday
night or permitting it to go on unmolest-
ed. This mistake he seemed to infer,
exposed his doings too soon, and prevent
ed his achievements from coming in.
