Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock
Joe Brown, negro living on the Shell
road, near Paradise Greek. went to his
nome from this city and killed his wife
and also attempted to XII his six chill
dren. the oldest Of whom is only years
Of age.
Last night about 7 O'Clock Brown
walked into the station house in this
city, and finding Lieutenant Only in
charge. told him he had killed his wife
and wanted to give himself up. The otli-
Ger took him into custody and shortly
after turned him over TO the county au-
thorities. and he was locked up in jail.
Last night V.rginian reporter went
to the jail to see Brown and he had to
be aroused from q sound sleep He
seemed to have no objection to talking
and manifested not the slightest regret
for the crime.
THE A1URDERER'S STORY.
Brown said that he was In this city

reaching home about o'clock. some
what under the influence Of liquor,
His wife set ahou; getting him some
thing to eat and while SHE was thus
engaged they began quarrcling, Bro Nn
accusing her Of being unfaithful TO him

rushed towards her and dealt her a ter
rfbie blow over the head
MADE SURE WORK.
She sank to the floor. probably dying

by the terrific blow. But the infuriatct,
nus eand was determined to make sure Of
her death. and securing 4 knife. inflicted
q CHASTITY wound on her neck which
would have proved fatal had she been
living.
After having killed his wife the muir
derer began to look for his children in
ORDER to STAY them also. They had seen
their mother murdered and fed in terror
lest they he the next victims.
There are six children, the Oldest not
quite years Of age. and the youngest
a baby In arms. The larger Of the chill
dren hal TO carry the smaller to pla ce
Of hiding. This was evidently we'll
chosen, for Brown could not find them.
GAVE. HIMSELF UP.
Failing to accomplish the destruction
of his children. Brown started for Ports
mouth. He says he spent some time
wandering around In THE woods In the
rear of the navy-yard. and when dark
ness fell he came to the station house
and surrendered.
The above Is the substance OF the
story as obi aimed from Brown. Con-
stable Andersnn sent to tho scene by
Justice Rntter before the prisoner SUR
rendered. Is authority for the statement
that the negro also cut his wife'S throa
and attempted to STAY his children.
The prisoner is = large negro. ginger
