Some Interesting Revelations.
The following account of a recent Justice
trial in Claremont, N. H., is taken from
the last issue of the Claremont Eagle, and
contains some interesting revelations:
A highly sensational case came before
Justice Arthur Chase's court on Monday.
The people of Claremont were deeply in
terested, for they expected some revela-
tons, and they were not disappointed.
Something like two years ago family call
ing themselves by the uncommon name of
Brown made their appearance in town. We
could not If we would give one-tenth of
the stories and rumors that prevailed rel
alive to the new corners, especially the
head of the family. Suffice 1t to say that,
to all intcnts and purposes, the Browns
walked along in the even tenor of their
ways. Mr.. A. p. Squires the detective,
known in many parts of New England, has
resided for several years in Claremont.
The present week complaint was made be-
fore Ira Colby, Jr., the County Solicitor,
of Mrs, Brown, charging Squires with en-
bezzling $4,000. Mr.. Colby called the case
before Justice Chase, and an examination
was held on Monday. The greater por-
ton of the day was consumed in cxamin-
ing two witnesses, Squires on one side and
other. OF course their stories were alike
in one particular-cach denied the state
ments of the other. Davis-Br0wn swore
that white was black, and Squircs as deter
minedy swore that black was white. The
meat of the nut seemed to be that William
Davis Cor Brown was in February, 1871,
arrested by detective Squircs in our neigh
boring State, Vermont, for "cracking" a
bank, and was put into the Montpelier Jail,
in default of $50, 900 bail, to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. At this stage of
the proceedings detective Squires claims
| that he bargaincd with Davis Brown, for a
comfortable consideration, to help him out
of his difficulties, and discovered that Da-
vis-B Brown desired his bail reduced from
$50, 600 to $1,000, which he could raise and
so get out of Jail. Squircs accomplished
the feat Now appears Mrs. Davis Brown,
and deposits $4,000 in the hands of a Mr..
Randall, of Montpelier, who thereupon goes
bail, which satisfies the District Attorney,
who liberates Davs-Brown, and Mr.. and
Mrs. D-B, return to their quondam home,
New York city while Browns unlucky ac-
complete, one Barton, remains in Jail.
When the Grand jury meet they find in

for many years, while Brown, or Davis,
with bail increased to $4,000, has his wife
deposit 45 diamonds with Randall, in addi-
ton to the $1,000, and again returns to New
York. Just after the result of the Barton

Squires meets them in New York. Now
comes the first material point where Mad

to say to each other, "You prcvaricate.

to them. Be that as it may, the ndictmer

of Davis-Brown. This family, by the way
from the evidence of both Squires and tn
woman, have been known by diferer
