Brains.


brains.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE. Ind, Feb 26.-At 3 o'clock this
morning Joseph A. Brown was found dead In
his Office in the Goddard Block. with bull
let hole through his brain from temple TO
temple. The bullet was found on the floor.
His face was in a pool of blood and the re-
volver under him. The discovery was made
by Walter Brown, a son, who had been sent
out to look for his father by Mrs. Brown
after midnight
At first the police believed it to have been
murder. as the mans pockets were all turned
wrongside out and his purse lay the floor.
This theory was abandoned when over $500 in
money and checks were found in half-open
safe, and money was scattered over the floor.
1t Is believed that he did this to prevent SuS-
picion of self-destruction. Brown was city
clerk for two terms, and for a number of
years a prominent real estate and insurance
agent The cause was domestic trouble ana
a shortage of about $500 to the Norwich
Union and Mercantile insurance companies.
He recently took as partner Squire Il.
Behymer. Mr. Brown was an Odd Fellow,
Red Man and a member of Williams Post G..
Brown his wife left home, going to police
headquarters to enlist the services of the Off
GERS In the search. Brown had been attend
ing spiritual seances and recently was said
to have conversed with his first wife, who
died five years ago. This seemed to bother
him considerable The tragedy shocked the
entire community.
