as well as the import of the confession,
but she could not read French and
therefore did not know what the details
therein contained were. She remarked
that if she had been convicted and sent
to the State Prison she never would
have told of the confession, but she
felt it her duty now that she was
clear, and her innocence established, to
disclose such facts as would place the
murderer in the same position she has
occupied so long. When asked what
had become of the confession referred
to, she stated that she placed it in the
possession of her mother. Mrs. Lynda
Fox, few days before her trial closed,
and that it was taken by her to West
CRANKY, Conn, for translation, when it
would be sent back to District Attorney
John W. Longley. She says that the
plan for the murder of the child was
concocted at Dayton Ohio, as she learn
from Brown, and that Brown assigned
the work of killing the child to hired
assassin, the two to share equally the
$40, 900 policies of insurance on the
child's life.

HOW TO ADVERTISE.

DIR. Helmbold, one of the most syste-
matte and persistent advertisers in the
country, who has made an immense
fortune by liberal use of the news
papers, i'll a recent conversation with o
.eading editor gave some interesting
details of his system of advertising
which may be of value to the business
men of Elizabeth. We quote:
"When 1 have funds to spare l invest
the money in extending my name and
business, just as man does who pur-
chases real estate or cultivates farm ;
and | consider the investment equally
good, in every respect. Nor do ever
attempt to make contracts without the
means to make payments, any more
than good farmer would think OF cul-
tivating his soil without the funds to
pay for cultivation.
The Doctor, it seems, makes his own
contracts, in many cases directly with
the editors or publishers themselves,
and in this way he has obtained gen
eral acquaintance with the newspaper
men throughout the country. He
says:
With the proprietors of all the lead
ing papers, and the majority of the
others enjoy personal acquaintance
and to such papers as the New York
Herald, Weekly Tribune and Indepen-
dent, I have sometimes paid from fif-
teen hundred to three thousand dollars
for the single insertion of an advertise
ment, knowing that in such cases the
amount of space occupied, and the i'm
portance of the transaction, would ne
cessitate an interview. On one occa-
sion, offered the sum of FIVE THoUs-
AND DOLLARS for page in the New
York Herald The offer was accepted,
but afterwards declined, on account OF
press of matter, Notwithstanding it was
double the usual advertising rates.
This was at the time of the fall OF
Richmond. To conclude, 1 always
prefer dealing directly with publishers,
1 have no fear of accepting their best
rates"

THE CANAAN CHILD MURDER.

The trial of Mrs. Brown for the muir.
der of Angelina Stewart, which has
been in progress for some at Hudson.
N. Y, was concluded on Saturday last.
Mr.. Robert E. Andrews. counsel for
Mrs. Brown, spoke for nearly six hours
in behalf OF his client. He was follow
ed by Attorney-Gen. Champlain, who
summed up in behalf of the people.
Judge Ingalls, then charged the jury re-
tired at about 6 p. M, snd after an alb
sence of IS hours returned to Court,
and announced that they had agreed.
The news ran through the city like
wild.fire, and in short time the large
Courtroom was densely crowded. many
ladies being present. The prisoner
evinced great excitement when the jury
came into Court, and it is supposed
that she was under the influence of
morphine, which drug she had been in
the habit of taking in large quantities
Before the foreman gave the verdict
"Not guilty." hardly breath disturb
ed the Stiffness of the courtroom, but
as soon as it was announced, murmer
of appreciation was heard, which was
quickly suppressed. Her counsel Mr.
Andrews, then rose from his seat and
advanced toward her, extending his
hand, giving her hearty greeting
She greeted him in return. and, in low
tones, said Il did not expect this; l
thought sure should be sent to prison
for at least ten years" She was then
discharged from custody. Previous to
eaving the city for Chatham she made
an extraordinary statement. She sta
ted, in person to the local editor of The
Hudson Star, that previous to his death
by hanging, Joseph Brown wrote IL
confession in the French language, in
which, as he himself informed her, the
name of the real murderer of Angelina
OtCWulp hhONh' COIl-
tents of this confession she, and the
real murderer, and Brown were bound
by solemn oath, mutually taken, not
to make public, unless it was necessary
so to do to save her own life, or unless
she was acquitted. Mrs. Brown said
she took the oath at her husbands
command In answer to question
put to her as to what Brown said to her
as he was led out of the cell on the
morning of the execution, Mrs. Brown
replied, "He again cautioned me to
be true to my oath" Mrs. B. also said
yesterday that her husband instigated
the preparation of the murder. and
that was the reason why he did not
make a confession before he died or on
his trial. being satisfied that he would
be found guilty of being an accessory
before the fact, and having made an
oath of secresy with the real murderer
never to disclose the crime, he had
kept that oath inviolate. These facts
Mrs. Brown says her husband told her
