The Case Of Brown.
ones.

Here is the true story of Bessy Brown,
(the young wife so brutally murdered in
Philadelphia two weeks ago, by her hus-
band) as brought to us in the late Philadel-
phia papers. Not as pleasant reading,
perhaps, as the last fine fancy in poem or
novel to take with us to the shady nook or
beach, butuseful.
Five or six years ago William Brown was
sober, hearty young fellow, we'll educated
for his station, and with kind heart and
pleasant manner, which made him a favor
ite with all his kinslolk and brought him
plenty of friends. The friends led him to
take glass or two now and then; the glass
or two became naturally steady drink; the
drink brought dismissal from his shop. idle
ness, dissOlute habits. Still, Brown was, to
his friends, " a good fellow" with no fault
which >obriety would not cure-nobody's
enemy, in short, but his own. About a
year and a half ago, going out to the
| Park one day, he met in a car a neat,
pretty young girl, who was introduced to
him as Bessy Hersheimer. From the
| first moment ! saw her | loved her." he
says, and there is no reason to doubt that
the poor wretch has loved and been faithful
to his wife from that day until now Love,
however, never kept any drunken man
from abusing his wife, or making his home
forctaste of hell. The girl bore with him
for some months and then left him, sup
porting herself by sewing. "Will," she
stated, "followed her, drunk or SOBER
watched her continually, being jealous
naturally enough, as his wife was pretty
and resolutely refused to go back to hei
life of misery with him. One night two
weeks ago he saw her accost some maI
upon the street, in all innocence, very
likely, but it drove him to frenzy. Th
next day, according to his own account
being sober, he avoided her, but in tn

there. When he was arrested a letter to
his mother was found on him which shows
his intention of killing himself when he had
reached the grave. Nothing in fiction or
histOry-not the agonies of Fagin, nor the
face of his victim that pursued Eugene
Aram by night and noonday-is more
tragic than this letter written by the muir
derer to his mother from time to time
as he fed through the country, horror of
great darkness pursuing him. 1t is not the
gallows that he sees or cares for, but ''Bessys
blood running down her neck" or his own
hand wet with it. He sees himself dead in
his coffin, with a dreadful selfpity, and
bids his mother bring some young people
of whom he is fond to look at him, as a
warning against liquor. 1t is not Bessy
that he blames she is an angel waiting
for him to cross the river" nor himself

Alice didn't like the looks of him. Conse-

ing the dinner recess, after Tom Creighton
had gone away and left Alice, suddenly
there arose a terrible roar and rumpus in
the edge of the woods Then there was a
pistol shot, and the next moment were
heard cries Of Prize fight" Murder! y

Those who rushed to the quarter whence
the cries came saw a slender man, all
bloody, and foaming like wild beast,
madly beating and pounding a big fellow
who was trying faithfully to shield himself
from the blows which were raining down
upon him. And before they could be
separated the slim student had beaten Tom
Creighton half to death.
"And good enough for him, too," said
everybody who saw the encounter. But
who'd have thought that slim fellow who
wrote poetry could do it?'
1t seems the two rivals had met some
where in the grove. Angry words had
passed between them, and at last Tom
Creighton, who seemed to be in constant
terror lest the other would "pitch into
him." the boys said, suddenly drew his
pistol, without a moments. warning, and

The blood streamed from the young
mans arm, and he fell to the ground
wounded and stunned. Tom Creighton
turned to run away, but had not taken
three stops before the slim student who
wrote poetry was upon him. He sprans
up, covered with blood, and leaped madly
forward, with roar like lion.
"Tll beat your Internal head off," he

He was in a fair way to do it, too
