Bill Browns Confession.

NASHVILLE, TENN, March 5.-Bill
Brown, colored, one of the five ne
groes concerned in the brutal murder
of Frank Arnold, who was shot and
stabbed, his head chopped off and his
body cut into seven pieces and buried
in a tanbark pit, made full confess
sion yesterday in the Criminal Court.
He swore that Arnold was dragged
into a thicket and shot in the head by
Simon Fox, who atterward stabbed
him twice in the neck. Arnold uttered
several cries, whereupon Ben Brown
struck him on the head with hand
OF iron. The body was carried some
distance and buried. On the follow
ing nightit was taken to stable, where
Simon Fox cut off Arnold's head with
Ratchet, and, carrying it into the
house, cut thres bullets out OF it with
a knife. Ben Brown, Nelson Johnson
and Foster cut off the legs and arms
and conveyed the remains to the city.
The head was first placed in creek
and afterwa'd hidden where it was
discovered b. the officers. Arnold
was killed that Ben Brown might OBJ
tain some land on which Arnold re.
sided. An attempt was made by the
defense to prove that Ben Brown had
once been a convict, but it failed. Bob
McLin, who was arrested in connec-
ton with the crime, is 10 be prose-
cuted for forging Arnold's name and
for perjury. The trial will probably
end Saturday. The general impress
sion is that Ben Brown will be con-
victed OF murder in the first degree.
