CoId-BIooded Murder,

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O-What appears
to have been a cold-blooded murder
was committed today in the Institu-
ton for the Improved instruction of
Deaf Mutes.
The victim was Professor Max E.
GIau, IS years of age, an instructor in
drawing. The body was found in the
studio of the professor, on the fourth
floor Of the institution There were a
number of horrible gashes on the back
of the head, and near the body was
found bloody iron shovel, with which
the murderer evidently struck down
his victim. No apparent motive for
the crime was discovered. When the
professors clothing was searched his
gold watch and chain were found in
tact, 6 cents in change, a bunch of
keys, pipe and a match box being
also found in his pockets. 1t was said
by Superintendent Green of the insti-
tuition that he did not know the pro-
fessor had an enemy in the building.
and, for that matter, in the world. He
said he was a man who kept well to
himself and after his business had
been transacted ait the institute he left
and had but few words with anybody
He said the professor had been with
the institution for a number of wears
and that his methods and work were
satisfactory. If the murder was not
committed by a person who had free
access to the institute the attaches are
puzzled to know how any person
could get into the place without being
seen. There are but two entrances to
the place and these are in the front Of
the building. The upstairs doors are
always locked, and at the basement
door, which is the usual way the
building is entered, there is always an
attendant. and it would have been
impossible for person to have gained
an entrance in that way without dis
covery. No one in the building was
found who had seen any strange per
son enter during the afternoon. All
the windows were examined and no
clue was found. The entire absence
of motive IS puzzling the police, and
so far as known they have not a SIM
gle clue on which to begin work.

In Good Suirits.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1O.-Jackson and
Walling, after a somewhat exciting
first day IN Jail, are reported to be in
good spirits today.
1t looks as if the men will shortly be
taken to Newport for trial
The grand jury is now in session and
it is said is hearing the evidence in the
case.
While the officers of Campbell coun-
ty, Kentucky, are confident that they
can protect the prisoners in Kentucky,
and while the citizens of Newport re-
sent the imputation of lawlessness, it
is still the common notion that little
would be left for the courts to do with
these prisoners if they should be placed
in Newport Jail.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1O.-The slow
process of solving the Pearl Bryan
murder mystery now points to Thurs
day night as the night of the murder,
and to the use of cocaine. Druggist
Ulen of West Sixth street has notified
the police that on Wednesday before
the murder, jackson asked him for a
drachm of cocaine. The druggist had
not so large a quantity on hand, but
told jackson that he would get it.
Jackson returned later, but not having
money enough to pay for a drachm,
took less. Jackson admits the pur-
chase, but says he gave the cocaine
to Walling.

We'll accompanied his grandfather,
Joseph Griffiths, to the Lyceum theatre,
and in the intermission preceding the
last act the two went into O'Neirs
saloon. The old gentleman took drink
while the boy was given a glass of
water with, what they supposed, some
peppermint in. They returned to the
theatre, but had scarcely reached the
place when Maxwell fell into stupor.
All effort to arouse him was at first
in vain. He was finally taken over to

treatment he revived. Later he was

lad in a critical condition.
Police officials visited the saloon
afterwards, but the bartender asserts
that he only put a few drops of pepper

REV. BROWN.
Not the First Time He Has Figured
in n Scandal.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 1o.-The dis
patch from San Francisco to the effect
that the Rev. c. Q. Brown, the prtn-
cfpa1 figure in the alleged blackmail-
ing affair in that city, once figured in a
scandal at Rochester, Mich, was con-
ffrmed this evening in an interview
with Rev. John Armstrong of this city,
formerly pastor of the Methodist
church at Rochester. Mr.. Armstrong
however, would give no details of the
Rochester incident, but 1T is alleged by
others that some letters written by
Rev. Brown to the wife of a travelling
man were intercepted; that Brown
somehow got possession of the letters
and then accused Rev. Armstrong of
having written them. A trial resulted
in finding that Rev. Brown had had
no improper intimacy with the lady
in question. Mr. Armstrong denounces
Mr.. Brown in strong terms for his al
legged part in the matter.
