Strange Actions of His Friend
Sparks at Laramie.
The COroner's Jury Find a Verdict
Against FiIIebrown.
Some Hints Which May Point Sus.
picion Elsewhere.

A coroner's jury. consisting Of J.
Whaleu, Charles Hewitt and L. Steven
son, yesterday rendered a verdict TO the
effect that Herman Faulks came to his
death from a bullet wound in his head,
and that we believe Charles Parker File
brown, late of said county, to be the per-
son BY whose act the death of the said
Herman Faulks is occasioned." This
conclusion was reached after
lively little testimony had hoen adduced,
and even that OF a character by no means
conclusive.
There were four witnesses examined.
The first OF these was Geo. W. Matthews.
boy who discovered the toly. his father,
W. +. Matthews, Hugh McGee a school
boy. and Thomas D. Holt. All of these
witnesses united in saying that so far as
they knew the relations existing between
Faulks and Fillebrown we're friendly
Snd pleasant. The men lived to-
gether and did their own cooking and
the only thing. so far as known, calculated
to strain their pleasant relations was the
disinclinatiou of Fillebrown to wash the
dishes. The indications are that Faulks
was murdered early Friday forenoon, for
when first discovered, between l and .
o'clock Of that afternoon, the body was
still warm. Its discovery was brought
about by the fact that the pump was not
at work. Matthews and his son we're
riding along in a wagon, when they OBJ
served this strange fact. The boy jumped
out to find was what was up. Going
inside be found the dead body, and, mott
Tying his father, that gentleman soon
entered the pump house. The build
ing Is built in the form of al L.
One part consists OF a bedroom and
kitchen mutually used and occupied by
FIllebrown and Faulks. The latter
apartment adioins the pump-house. In the
kitchen they discovered evidences Of the
previous days struggle supposedly he
tween Fillebrown and Faulks. In the
center of the room they found a pool of
blood equal to about a pint in quantity
and leading thence to a cupboard a line
of spots. On the cupboard was seen a
bloody towel which had evidently been
used in staunchin0 a flow Of blood from
Fillebrown's nose. although this testI.
mony was not brought out at the exam
nation. Faulks was found lying in the
passageway between the coal bin and
steam boiler which are in the pump house.
lie lay fiat on his face in a diagonal line
with the coal bin toward which his
feet pointed. The 3s calibre Reming-
ton SIX shooter lay about eight inches
from his right elbow. His clinched right
hand was under his body, while his left
was stretched at his side. His face lay in
a large pool OF blood end presented a
chastity appearance. Hllebrown was
connected with the affair at only one
point, according to the testimony given at
the c%oroner's inquest. 90 the night be-
fore the murder Mr.. Holt had seen
through the window Fillebrown and
Faulks seated at the stove 10 the kitchen
conversing amicably together. File
brown carried mali between Granite and
Silver Crown. He should have started
out on the morning OF the murder at 10
o'clock. IN! he failed to show up, and it
was afterward learned that he had disap-
Deared.

a Friend of FrIIehrown.

A strange feature of the case, and one
which does more to incriminate File
brow than any other circumstance yet
developed, is found in the action of his
friend Sparks. That individual lett
Granite on the railroad tram just before
the discovery OF the murder on Friday
afternoon. The ticket on which he rode
was made out ia Fillebrown's name.
1t had been issued by the COM
pany last December and the con
ductor probably failed to take it up
when Fillebrown rode on it. On this
ticket. Sparks rode to Laramie, carrying
with him a small valise. This might look
as though it had been prearraDged with
Fillebrown, Sparks travelling on a ticket
made out in his friends name, thus tenn
porarily throsing the officers of
the scent of the real criminal,
who could make good his escape
on horseback in another direction.
Sparks spent all Of yesterday IN Laramie,
being constantly under police surveillance,
although unknown to himself. He seemed
deeply interested in murder news and Wis
tied the telegraph office several times with
the object of discovering what the Off
Gals were doing. He apparently had no
business to transact IN the town and his
movements are being watched with much
interest Some people think it possible
that he may be waiting a chance to meet
and aid Fllebrowne but the theory is not
a very plausible one.

Mr.. 7. X. Anderson who has a rail-
road ticket Office on Capitol avenue and
Sixteenth streets was notified by tele-
graph yesterday that he had been made a
member of the American Ticket Brokers'
Association. THIS is a solid institution.
A railroad ticket sold by any OF its mem
bers is guaranteed by the Association il
self. There is, therefore, no more risk IN
purchasing a railroad ticket from Mr..
Anderson, or any other member OF the
Association. than there is in buying from
the railroad company officers. TIE bust
ness established by Mr.. Anderson in this
city promises to be permanent and profit
able.

10 so fat as Fllebrown has been con-
nected with the murder, no satisfactory
motive for the commission of the crime
has yet been made known. There is one
feature o. the case that has not yet re-
ceived any public consideration. 1t is
this, that there may be a woman involved
in the uOlble. 1t is now known that
Faulks had intimate relations with a mar
ried woman in the neighborhood of Gran
lite. II is said that the husband discov-
cred these relations and put an end to
Baulks' visits. Later the wife confessed
to her husband that she loved Faulks and
couldn't live without him The husband
vas almost broken hearted. but said he
would leave the country in a short time
and give up his wiic. This is said to be
a recent occurrence. How would it do for
a motive for the commission Of the crime?
