Sunday evening Mr.. and Mrs. Furbie
who live on Eighteenth street, between NJ

threatening to kill her if she did not COM
ply with his request. She said her family
and the Browns were on very friendly
terms and visited each other often, and
she did not for moment suspect that the
father of a family would take advantage
of her. Mrs. Furbie hesitated about
swearing to a complaint against Brown
Sunday night, fearing that her family
would be disgraced, but yesterday morn
ing she resolved to do SO, and Brown was
arrested.
Mrs Furbie has four children and
Brown has wife and number of chill
