was a hole extending into the brain, and
there were several gashes in the scalp,
evidently made by hammer, which was
found near the body smeared with blood
and white hairs from the head of the
victim. The murdered mans head was
covered with blood and a pool Of it form
ed on top of a small chest or drawers

Mr.. Brown before the safe, which was
locked, and which contained thousands
of dollars worth of diamonds and jew
elry, and tried to force him to work the
combination. His right had was covered
with blood, indicating that he had raised
it to his head when he was struck and
tried to ward off the other blows which
followed. The murderers secured moth
ing of value, except, perhaps a diamond
stud which Mr.. Brown wore and which Is
