MASON CITY, To-, May 19.-Coroner
Mcfarland has just returned from the
scene of the Brown poisoning affair,
where he has, for the past six days, been
conducting an examination. 1t is un-
derstood from reliable sources that the
jury will return verdict eliminating
either Mr.. or Mrs. Brown. 1t has de-
veloped during the trial that for several
years past there has been considerable
domestic trouble in the family. During
the winter, the child that is now dead,
fell into the river and Mr.. Brown and
hired man rushed down to rescue him.
When he was taking out of the water he
was conveyed to the house, and because
Mrs. Brown had not assisted in the res
cue, he said that ''he be damned if he
ever should rescue her if she should fall
into the river" She retorted: ''NO-
body ever would ask YOU" Once dur
ing the winter he attempted to threaten
her into signing deed transferring some
real estate. Because she would not
sign it, he arose in the middle of the
night, took down double-barrel shot
gun and threatened to blow
his brains out. Mrs. Brown
gives evidence that she believes
Brown to be guilty, but the
accused protests his innocence, and at
the same time declares that he had
rather suffer than to have his wife suf-
fer for the crime. Mr.. Brown was once
a wealthy farmer, but it is now under
stood that he has of late had consider
able financial trouble. Evidence of
jealousy was also given. Mrs. Brown
also testified that her husband was a
hard man to live with, and she, had
nothing worth living for. During the
time Mrs. Brown was giving her testi-
mony Mr.. Brown crowded to the door
and attempted to listen to what she had
to say. The constable forced him to go
away, whereupon he grew indignant
and declared that he should listen to
his wife's testimony. Mr.. Brown con-
Quoted himself in very suspicious
manner. They have up to this time
been living together in the house, but
Mrs. Brown has asked the jury to place
a man at the house, and her request
will be granted. It's thought that mat
ters will now develop in short time
and the real perpetrator of the heinous
crime be discovered.

New YORK, May 19.-In view of the
fact that, in spite of Mr.. Blaine's Flor

nation, the World on Tuesday last

Crawford last February, in Florence. l
have no authority to say more than that,
as Mr.. Blaine did not wish to be inter-
viewed again on this subject. His
Florence interview was so explicit that
the fact that he has now nothing to add
to it, by way of qualification, should be
enough to
SATISFY THE MOST DOUBTFUL
of Mr.. Blaine's enemies as to his future
intentions. His declaration at Florence
correctly represents his present state OF
mind. Those who associate with Mr.
Blaine have no doubt of his absolute
good faith in withdrawing. Mr. Crawford
adds that MI. Blaine will leave for
England in few days and expects to
reach London in the neighborhOod of
the first of June, to join Andrew Car
negie's coaching trip into Scotland. He
will probably sail for home early in
July. He will be back long before any
campaign begins, ready to take
hold and assist the nominee
f the Chicago convention. At
the time of the Chicago convention,
however, he will be on Mr.. Carnegie's
coach. approaching the extreme north
of Scotland, beyond the range of ordi-
nary telegraphic communication. Of
his health Mr.. Crawford says: sit
the bright, clear look of his eyes, his
good color and the vigor shown in every
one of his movements. He has to-day the
health that comes to man as reward
for a life of simple habits and tastes"
The World, in an editorial on the sub
ject, calls attention to the fact that the
statement as sent is authorized by Mr..
Blaine, that he might have diSSipated
the doubts about his candidacy with five
words, but that he carefully and
studiously refuses to refuse the nomina-
ton, or to say that the movement in that
direction is without his approval"
