The Man Was the Son and Private secre-
The Murderer Captured.
Louisville, KY. April 30.-Arch Dixon
Brown. son and private secretary of Cover
| nor Brown of this state, and Mrs. Fulton
Gordon were shot and kille in a disreput-
able house in this city today by the wo-
| mans husband. Brown and Mrs. Gordon
| entered the house at noon and repair ed TO
an upstairs room. Thirty minutes later
Gordon came to the house and engaged a
room down stairs, saying that woman
would join him there shortly. few min
utes later a ccmmotion was heard up stairs
followed by a succession of pistol shots.
hen there was hurried movement down
| stairs as Mrs. Cord on very lightly clad fed
from the scene. A few more shots rang out
and she fell dead on the porch in the rear
yard. Gordon left the house Immediately.
A few moments later Browns corpse was
found in the upper room. The body was al
most entirely nude and covered with blood
There We're three bullet wounds in the
breast. two in the head and one in the
stomach, and another in the arm. There
were three bullet holes in Mrs. Gordon's
body. Gordon was arrested while getting
into his buggy. On the way to Jail he said
that he suspected the couple for some time.
and about week ago he found his suspic-
ions were correct. He went to the house
today and found them in the same bed. He
drew pistol and fired five shots at Brown
by which time the governors son had his
own pistol in play. Brown fired two shots
at Gordon, and then the latter grappled
with him and took his pistol and shot him
with his own weapon. EAfter shooting at
Brown he shot his wife as she was going
down the stairs, striking her just as she
reached the bottom. A colored woman Fem
ployed at the house said that Brown and
Mrs Gordon were accustomed TO visit the
house on Saturday of each week for some
time. In Browns pocket was found tele-
gram from Mrs. Gordon asking him to meet
her at the house. Mrs. Gordon was. fol-
merly Miss Nellie Bush of this city. Her
family is one OF the most prominent in the
state. Her mother was once state librarian
and her grandfather was Judge Zachariah
Wheat. chief justice of the Court of Appeals
of Kentucky. Fulton Gordon at the time
of his marriage was one OF the best known
men about town. He was clerk at the Gait
house. Gordon and Miss Bush eloped about
ten years ago. Shortly afterwards they
moved to Frankfort, where he became pro-
prietor of the hotel. When the Worlds Fair
began he sold out and moved to Chicago,
where he became manager of the Turkish
baths of the Palmer house.
The coroner held an inquest over the
bodies this afternoon and the jury rendered
q verdict of justitiable homicide.

"BUD" BEAMS CASE.
Marshal Tricky and Chief JacksOns'
Investigation.
Case Against Bean, But No Motive Can
Be Assigned.

They Believe That There Is Very Strong
Case Against Bean, But No Motive Can
Be Assigned.
"Bud" Bean will go before Judge Rob-
inson this morning, and unless Marshal
Trickey is much mistaken he will face
mass of evidence against him that
the marshal believes " i'll be conclusive.
Bud" is very bright young fellow,
but the marshal is confident that he
could not we'll have much stronger
case against him than he has got
Yesterday Marshal Tricky and Chief
Jackson worked up the case together.
AS soon as Bean was arrested Deputy
Hartnett started the investigation, and
Deputy Sterling followed up the work,
and the m arshal gave his personal -atten-
ton to the case during the day. The
result was summed up last evening when
he said he was satisfied that Bean was
the one who pulled the Green street
alarm. He declined to say what state
ments Bean made during the day.
Chief jackson yesterday had photo
graphs taken Of the scene of the fire and
they will be submitted to Judge Rob-
inson so as to give his honor good idea
of the situation. Bean claims that he
saw the fire when on the Knightville
bridge. Chief jackson claims that this
could not have been true for a mum Der
of reasons. The fire was only at the best
or worst a small affair, and one that
could not have been seen from the
bridge. The fire in the hay and straw
would have spread far too rapidly to
have admitted of his having seen it
from the bridge, and then had time to
go along Commercial street to Richard
sons wharf to have opened the box,
gone down to the shed, found the fire
and then returned to the box where he
was arrested.
HDo you think you've got the ope who
has been pulling in the false aiarms?n
was asked of Deputy Sterling, and he
replied, Zone of them most certainly"
It is moi thought that "Bud" had the
least idea Of starting big fire on Rich
ardson's wharf. but that he did want to
see the engines come laundering over to
Commercial street, and to see "Engine ~
steam into position. Both Chief Jack
son and Marshal Tricky are determined
that there shall be the closest posi- BILE
investigation made, and if posi- BILE every
one concerned in giving the many false
alarms arretesd. 1t would be something
of relief to have it unmistaka bly,
shown that only one person was connect
ed with the needless calling out of the
ire department.
Bean will be brought before Judge
Robinson this morning, but it is un-
derstood chat Marshal Trickey will pre-
sent only so much of the evidence in his
possession as may be necessary to ensure
the binding over of the respond ent. 1t
IS but fair to Bean that no one who
knows him ever thought him capable
OF such an act, and his friends insist
that he could not have been sane at
the time. A love of excitement is he
only possible motive that can be as

Kelley, the Kennebec's catcher, had simply
one run to his credit in the score. and all
the rest were'goose eggs. That is peculiar
record for catcher at any time of the sea-

Willie Mains wasn't much better against
