CARL BROWNE HERE.
Chief Deputy Brady Gets Here with
HIS Prey.
There came a telegram to the Sheriff's
office yesterday forenoon from Chief
Deputy Brady announcing that he had
arrived at Mojave with Carl Browne,
and would be at home by night. The
train was late, not arriving here until
about s o'clock. 1t was about 7:30
when Sheriff M. G. Aguirre, Brady and
Browne got to the jail. Aguirre had
gone up to San Fernando to meet them /,
and when they arrived here they were
all hungry, and went to the United
States hotel for dinner. They then
went to Jail. Carl looked not quite we'll,
bat still not like very sick man. He
was picturesque as ever. He wore o
pair of very fine boots, with the tops
pulled on over the legs of his psntsloons.
He wore the leather coat so familiar to
all who have known him for years past,
and over this heavy coat of some sort
Of material that looks like fur. His head
was covered with q broad -brimmed
slouch hat of black felt, as usual, and
underneath this fell his long, demi.
blonde locks ripplingin cuIls over the COL
lar of his coat. His face was adorned,
az of yore, in moustache and chin
beard, after the fashion of Francis Bacon,
Lord Verulam of old. He was as pic
turesque g man as the State contains to-
day.
At the Sheriff's ofice sat Under Sheriff
Thornton, several deputies and lot of
newspaper men, assembled to welcome
Brady and his prisoner home. Carl
Browne took his place quietly by the fire
and chatted about Indifferent matters
until his attorney, j. Marion Brooks.
came in. The Sheriff, the prisoner and
the lawyer retired for consultation, and
after this had been prolonged to some ex-
tent the reporters were allowed to converse
with the picturesque artist editor.
There was little to be got out of him.
He seemed anxious to talk to any extent,
but Colonel Brooks refused to let him
say word. All that could be learned
was that Brady had arrested him at
Calistoga, and stated that when Napa
was reached the prisoner would probably
be allowed to give bail. At Napa there
was change in the programme, made
necessary by the receipt of telegram
from Sheriff Aguirre, requesting that the
prisoner be brought straight through to
Los Angeles. Brady said be would gel
further instructions at Vallejo junction
and that possibly on arrival there he
might be permitted to go to San Fran
cisco, where Browne could also
have procured bail. At the Junction

Browne found himself in due time in the
sheriff's office, where Deputy Brady
tarned over his man with the bench war
This document puts ali end to all cavil
rs to what Browne is arrested on. 1t is
on bench warrant based on an indict-
ment found by the Grand Jury charging
the prisoner with extortion and black
mailing young society man out OF $IOO.
In fact it is just as the HERALD has re-
ported it to be for weeks past.
AS to anything else Browne, at the ur-
gent request of his attorney, was most
reticent. He had nothing to say. But
in the course of long conversation it
leaked out that Brooks had bond in his
pocket all prepared to give bail and re-
lease Browne, but the latter refused to
be released and insisted on going to isil.
Colonel Brooks declared this to be
wrong, and seemed to urge his client to
give bail and go. This Browne refused to
yield in. The HERALD man asked
Brooks to be allowed to see the bond, so
as to publish the names of those willing
to go Carl's bail, but the distinguished
attorney declared with some asperity
that it was his business whose names
were on the bond. The warrant on
which Browne is arrested calls for 81 900.
1t is said that Louis Mesmer is willing to
go on the bond, but it requires two suffi-
cient names, and the second name could
not be made to materialize, some claim
ing that it was all in your eye, SO to
speak. At any rate Browne went to Jail,
but before he did, both he and Brooks
let drop good many hints about the re-
sponsibility OF the Grand Jury
about there being no probable
cause in the testimony laid be-
fore the Grand Jury on which to
find an Indictment; about one of the
jurors having said while this matter was
under discussion that Browne was a
blackmailer, that he knew him to be one
from the fact that friend of this Juror
was approached by Browne; and the
LAWYER and his client let drop hints
which show that Carl will plead not
guilty to the charge, and will call upon
Col. 81. 81. Boyce to prove that it was
telephone 999, the Cactus number, he
rang up on that fatal night when the
$l00 was paid to keep the article out of
the Cactus; that Col. .Boyce will also be
called upon to show that he was in any
way authorized to treat for Browne, that
Browne was at the other end of the
phone, that he knew anything about the
deal, or that he got the 500, or any part
OF it. That is about the present status
of the affair.
