INDICTED THE BROTHER.
ATCHIsON, Kan, July 1S.-The coroner's
jury in the Mary Baldwin murder case,
after an investigation lasting since July 8,
returned a verdict at o'clock this morning
charging William Baldwin, the dead girls
brother, with the deed. The murder was
the most shocking and cOld-blooded that
ever occurred in this community, the VIC
tim, who was temporarily occupying the
| family residence alone, having been SUI
prised in her sleep by the murderer and
overcome by chlorofOrm. 1t became evil
dent at once that the object of the crime
was not burglary. Suspicion at once at
tached to young Baldwin, who would be
especially benefited financially by the re-
moval of his sister. The chain of evidence,
however, is not complete, and unless some
new circumstances develop before the final
trial he will hardly be convicted.
