JEwELLER 1RoWN,s MURDER.
The Police Connecting II with & Diamond
Robbery OF Tive Months AGO.

ROCHESTER,, Jan. 2s.-A startling report
Is current In connection with the murder OF
Jewellef Bella Brown. II has TO do with a
big diamond robbery that took place two
months ago. when two women were as
saulted and nearly killed. The diamonds
were recovered by the authorities.
This has led the police on an entirely new
track and makes them anxious to view the
contents OF Browns safe. II may DO that
District Attorney Warren will seal the safe
TO all except the authorities until the In
v~estigation Is closed.
The police are anxious TO find and inter-
view Club Dempsey, a colored ~bootblack,
who rs said to have been absent from the city
since the morning following the discovery OF
the murder OF Brown. The police are anxious
to find Dempsey as he is alleged TO a been
seen on Central avenue on Sunday night
and TO ave made damaging admissions
TO a boy acquaintance OF whom he III said
to nave attempted TO borrow money with
which TO leave the city. Dempsey Is about
20 years old and had been a familiar figure
about the downtown street corners for
several years. He was In the habi OF
backing Jeweller Browns shoes, and this
work was performed either In Browns
store or on the street. Dempsey was thor
oughly familiar with the store, and the
police say that they do not think Brown
would have had any h~esitancy about adj
hitting the bootblack to the store at any
time his services were required.

Not long ago Andrew Carnegie, in an adj
dress before the Young Mems Christian
Association. said:
'It is one Of tho most cheering facts OF
our day that under present conditions
the wages OF labor tend to rise and the
prices OF the necessaries OF life tend TO fall.
A day or two after the report Of Mr.
Carnegie's speech was published. IF. c.
In Q lettor 10 THE Sun. combated tho state

the word living Is meant to include only
things TO eat. was never higher than il is at
present. Some OF tho newspapers, with
socialistic leanings. have taken occasion

u~ttsrancss and upon the letter OF THE
SUNS correspondent. and have attempted
to show that in these prosperous times OF
ours the capitalist is getting all the benefit
Of the prosperity and that the laborer has a
particularly hard time to get along.

no better way than by figures compiled
