This morning Sheriff Pyle ana CHIEF Of
Police King returned from Parktrs.
burg, where they had taken Irving
Brown, and placed htn jail. The chief
in speaking OF the matter stated that
Brown maintained a stoll6 Silonco al
the way to the city, and would only
talk IN monTsyilableS, and when the
case was broached would cot talk e
all.
King again stated to-day that Brown
had told him he killed crul and he aI-
so Gays he believes Brown would have
made a full confession of the whole
thing 81 he had not been told by his law
yer that he should keep quiet, and
there would be no trouble in balnH
cleared It Is well known that Brown
told some Of the prisoners IN the Jail
at Moundsviile that he was in q bad
scrape, Rnd when asked what It vas,
stated that II was murder, and that he
had on his victims clothes, IN which
there were some letters which would
give him away.
The denial by Browns lawyer that
the latter had made q confession was
made during the preliminary hearing,
here, but when Brown was asked about
1t. he would neither aflrm nor deny the
story.
Instead OF N. ]. Crull leaving for
Richmond this morning. with the rO-
mains OF his father, he will not leave
for several days. He left this morning
on trip through the back part Of the
county, and will make an attempt to
trace the course Of his father and
Brown on their way back to thiS city.
The story that was received here from
Wick to the effect that the outfit was
seen there was coTrobornted to-day BY
parties from there, and they say that
there we're two men with the wagon,
and the tOrrible stencil was accounted
for there by Brown as being some gpoil-
ed meat, which he intended burying,
and asked for q shovel.
But when one was gotten he refused
to use It, saying he would take It with
him. II Is believed now the murder
was committed az q point either on the

WASHINGTON. d. c.. June 23-In
the senate to-day. Mr. Allen, (Neb.).
arose to n question of personal prlvl-
lege in connection with tho conduct OF
tho last campaign. There was much
interest In tho statement, as Mr. Allen
was chairman OF tho Popullstic natlun-
convention MIR. Allen read a published
press dispatch from Lewiston, Me-,
stating that Professor L. c. BatcmAn,
candidate OF the Peoples party OF
Maine tor governor last year, was out
In nn attack on William ]. Bryan TO
the effect that Mr.. BrYnn's gift OF $500
60 the Populistic national committee
was with the distinct understanding
that no action against fusion should be
taken by the Papulistic national con-
Ventlou. Mr.. Allen made sweeping
denial. He said Mr.. Bryan had deter
mined TO divide the royalty on his book
and doing so he allotted $1,000 to the
Populistlc party. The draft was sent to
Mr.. Allen, but the chairman Of the
Populistlc national committee (SenOtor
Butler, OF North Canolina,) declined to
accept Il. Thereupon, at the suggestion
OF Mr.. Bryan, MI. Allen invested the
amount TO be used in the interest OF
bI-metnllIsm. Mr.. Allen declsred that
the statement that any agreement eX-
listed as to fusion. IN connection with
the Gitt was "an absolute and unQunll-
fed fHlsehood." There had never been,
he declared. an attempt to fuse tho par
ties, either nationally or locally.
Mr.. Allen also specifically denied the
statement that Mr.. Bryan forged his
(Allen's) name 60 the list appended to
tho letter OF notification The senator
closed with a high tribute to Mr.. Bryan
and an arraignmeut OF Professor Bate
man.
Mr.. Butler stated briefly that the Of
fer was made 10 him, but no felt impell-
ed to decline It. He approved Mr..
Bryan's motive. but felt that the ac-
ceptance might be open to misconstruc-
tion. The offer had been made, he said,
without any condition, express or i'm
piled.
The consideration OF the wool sched-
ule OF the tariff bill was then resumed.
Paragraph s5I, relating TO third class
wools, was taken up. There was con-
siderable opposition TO the proposed
rates, the debate being largely on tech
nIcal lines relative 20 grades OF wool.
